No and why would you want to play these museum pieces if you can pilot OmniMechs?

It sounds odd, not to have access to the content from the previous game.

Well, the thing is, it does not make sense from a lore standpoint. We play as Clan warriors and the Clans take great pride in their technology and it would be a major dishonor to use anything but the best for the best warriors.

[Nemean Lion]

Because you're playing as Clanners, not Inner Sphere pilots?

The Clan has Clan mechs

[Blitzwing]

I was kind of expecting a complete game, where you can play the side of Inner Sphere too, as we have that game already and so many of their mechs.

We have MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries anyway, why didnt they combine both games?

If you watched trailer, you heard how the clan mechwarriors call themselves? They are Trueborn. This is because they are breed in secret clan program. Freeborn people are considered lower class. No Freeborn (with very rare exceptions) can become clan mechwarrior. And no Trueborn will ever pilot Inner Spere battlemech because they are not compatible with Clan implants ans inferior to Clan tech.
Also...even been breed to become mechwarriors, it does not mean they can become pilots. Becase to own a right to pilot a mech, they need to pass the set of Trials, including series of fights against experienced pilots on unequal terms. Only after that they will be assigned to a battlemech.

Trial of Position
There are two forms of the Trial of Position. The first—also known as the blooding—determines if a warrior candidate is qualified to take his or her place as a member of the warrior caste. Failure in that trial results in demotion to a civilian caste; success (defeating one or more opponents) determines both status and rank.
The second form of Trial of Position, known as testing, is held periodically and determines whether a warrior is qualified to maintain his or her rank. Those who perform as expected against targets based on role, rank, and age maintain their rank, while those who perform better than expected are promoted. Those who perform more poorly than expected are demoted. A non-officer MechWarrior, pilot, Elemental, or ProtoMech warrior who tests down are relegated to a non-combat role or else transferred to a civilian caste.

A person asks a simple question about whether it's possible in the game, and morons start playing a role-playing. For your information, the Clans lost wars, so stop jerking off. And you can just give the guy a normal answer.

That IS the normal answer. The reason you don't use Inner Sphere mechs in this game is because you're not playing as Inner Sphere pilots. You're playing Clan pilots, so you pilot Clan mechs. It's...really not that hard.

It's like playing a Star Trek game where you play as a Starfleet officer and then asking why you can't pilot a Borg ship.

The previous Mechwarrior games had options like Instant Action where you could use the full range of mechs. If this feature is missing, it only shows how poorly made this game is.

Then feel free to play previous titles.

This, I do not understand why they didn't add clan mech to Mercenaries so player can play clan mech after loot it or something like that, I think it's should be add DLC rather and add other story mode rather than standout. I do like play mad cat in mercenaries thing, Oh well. I just don't understand their logic, in old game you can had mix IS and Clan mech, whatever player get or loot battle and add to the ranks.

It's just make game much richer, why not both in best of world, rather than standout from each other.
