SAFETY INFORMATION
About Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when
exposed to certain visual images, including ashing lights or patterns
that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history
of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can
cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching
video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of
arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions
that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any
of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children
about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely
than adults to experience these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by
sitting farther from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when you are
drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy,
consult a doctor before playing.
Other Important Health and Safety Information The Xbox
Instruction Manual contains important health and safety information
that you should read and understand before using this software.
Avoid Damage to Your Television
Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially
front- or rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games,
including Xbox games, are played on them. Static images presented
during the normal course of game play may “burn in” to the screen,
causing a permanent shadow of the static image to appear at all
times, even when video games are not being played. Similar damage
may occur from static images created when placing a video game on
hold or pause. Consult your television owner’s manual to determine
if video games can be played safely on your set. If you are unable to
nd this information in the owner’s manual, contact your television
dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games can be played
safely on your set.
Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public
performance, rental, pay for play, or circumvention of copy protection
is strictly prohibited.

Contract Memorandum
WOLFNET Transmission Code:
1018NJ-3, GG2-3334-
A-Alpha Data. Clearance Code Charlie One.
HIGHLY CLASSIFIED
Of cial Contract:
7th Kommando, Merc Company, Wolf’s
Dragoons. FOR YOUR EYES ONLY.
As an elite member of Wolf’s Dragoons, you’ve been
contracted to land on planet Helios ahead of a Dragoon
regimental strike force. The task is highly challenging,
but we will make it very rewarding for you.
Helios is under the control of technological zealots
known as the Word of Blake. We need you to do what
you do best—create confusion and disrupt their defense
systems, particularly the orbital defense cannons. Keep
your WOLFNET comm interface open with encryption
turned on, because additional communiqués will follow.
Take a minute to carefully read through them before
each mission. They will contain up-to-date classi ed
information. This is only the beginning.
<END Encryption>
Main Interface
We’ve con gured your tactical interface unit to give you the
necessary information in the simplest, most direct form to
use in the eld. Protect this unit at all costs or you’ll be on
your own without the appropriate technical and intel data
you need to survive. The following information describes the
Main interface.
CAMPAIGN
This is how
you earn your
paycheck—
ghting your way
through mission
assignments.
MULTIPLAYER
Just what it
says—multiple
’Mech mercenaries
in icting multiple
wounds.
PLAYER SETUP
Get yourself a catchy nickname, con gure your ’Mech’s
controls and get to work raining mayhem and chaos on
the enemy.
OPTIONS
This is where you adjust the volume levels in the ’Mech’s
sound system or view information about the engineers and
military personnel who made it possible for you to be here.

Heads-Up
We know you’ve used the Heads-Up Tactical Display (HUD)
for your ’Mech many times before, but we must make sure you
have this information when you need it. Brief yourself on each
component of the HUD so that when the heat is on you won’t
need to refer to it again. It could mean the difference between
getting out alive and not getting out at all.
WEAPONS DISPLAY
An icon in the center of the dynamic Weapons Display
provides the status of the current selected weapon; only fully
functioning weapons are available. The display shows how
many rounds remain as well as the weapon’s power level (from
level 1 to level 3). Level 1 is the default power and provides
unlimited ammunition and ring capability. The recycle time
for the weapon you’re ring is shown between 3 and 6
o’clock on your weapons display. When the bar lls with red,
it’s ready to re again.
HEAT INDICATOR
The Heat Indicator is at top center (12 o’clock) on your
weapons display. Using the color yellow and then red, it
shows the current heat status of your ’Mech in terms of
current heat level as well as heat dissipation. Red means
heat is at a critical level, which may cause your weapons
to malfunction.
ARMOR STATUS INDICATOR
At 1 o’clock on your Weapons Display, the Armor Status
meter indicates your armor’s health in green. Each time you
take a hit from an enemy weapon, it degrades your armor.
Once your armor is completely destroyed, you’re dead.
SENSOR SCREEN
The Sensor screen is your on-board radar for tracking
enemies and objectives. Enemies on the ground except foot
soldiers are red dots; enemy ’Mechs are red squares; airborne
enemies are red triangles; a mission objective is a yellow
arrow on the outer ring of the sensor if outside of range or
a yellow triangle when within range.

The ’Mechs
MechWarrior, these are the ’Mechs we’ve provided for
you. We’ve supplied you with a selection of the best
possible ’Mechs we could get our hands on for each of
your mission assignments.
For reference, the ’Mechs are organized from the light
’Mechs to the slower but very powerful assault ’Mechs.
The ’Mechs all have different weapons loadouts, so when
offered a choice you should pay attention to the type of
mission it is and make your selection accordingly.
For example, when it’s not necessary to ght in close,
don’t compromise your equipment. Instead, remain at a
distance and punish the enemy with your missiles. This
might be a case where choosing the ’Mech with Javelins
over the ’Mech with Crossbows could bene t you. In
other cases, a ’Mech with jump jets is your best choice.
Uller
The Uller is extremely versatile and touts a potent arsenal of
weapons that provide striking power at all ranges. It is fast, very
well armored, and makes a great reconnaissance ’Mech.

Tonnage: 30
Speed: 40 mph
Offensive Weapons: Pulse Laser,
Crossbow Missiles
Defensive/Special: Jump Jets, AMS
Owens
The Owens has become a staple for front-line regiments. It’s
lightly armed, but fast, and can carry all Inner Sphere electronic
components. It rarely engages an enemy directly but uses
its superior electronics and LRMs to provide support for
heavier ’Mechs.

Cougar
Ton for ton, the Cougar is probably the best ’Mech out there.
With its low pro le and high speed, it’s very hard to hit and has a
powerful weapons package for its size.

Uziel
The Uziel combines maneuverability with repower and decent
armor; it is a good performer in any role. With its speed and jump
jets, it’s ideal for hit-and-hide tactics.

Vulture
The Vulture is aptly named for its hunched shoulders, protruding
head, and bird-like legs. Its lower-torso Omni slot add to its
versatility, and its huge twin missile racks can carry more missiles
than any other ’Mech. It is very good in a re support role.

Catapult
Slow but extremely rugged, the Catapult is best used as a standoff
threat where it can use its long-range missile racks. It is designed
for second-line defense but with strong offensive capabilities.

Thor
The Thor offers mobility and short- to medium-range capability. It
successfully blends repower and maneuverability, and it can dish
out a lot of damage in any terrain.
