The mothership launch with Agnus Dei playing in the background still gives me shivers

Oh the memories........lol.

Who can forget Interstate '76?

Although very different from most of the choices so far, I always loved the Shogo M.A.D. intro.

These would be my choices as well.

C&C's intro gets an honorable mention though:

Red Alert was great too. There are few game scores as memorable as "Hell March".

 

[SinfulWeeper]

Everyone on AT plays and knows this is the best intro

 

[manowar821]

Oh my god... I saw only the title of your thread and I instantly thought "This has got to be about Mechwarrior 2".

 

[thegimp03]

Ah, man. Had MW 2 right after we got our first computer in the house.

The Best Intro *ever*

the game was solid but way too little too late for MP
- i played the extra content when it was made free before they closed it this year

You can still play Hellgate if you live in Korea
- they have a new expansion for it

That was my favorite when it came out.

My newer favorite intro is Dawn of War. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFkFo5SBx-g

Wow! That intro was bad ass! I have no interest in playing the game, but I would like to see the rest of that "movie".

 

[TheVrolok]

MW2 and MW2:GBL had GREAT intros. I also really enjoyed BGI/II, and pretty much anything Blizzard made.

Dawn of War is the best CGI intro ever. I had high hopes for DOWII's intro, but was a little let down.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

Neat, I'm 99% sure that's a Kiwi at the start of the OP's video on the radio.

 

[Eeezee]

The original DOW intro is pretty sweet, although it makes the space marines look a lot more mediocre than they're supposed to be. I was impressed by the DOW2 trailer. I love the dreadnaught's line: "I am here to destroy you."

Total Annihilation gets an honorable mention, since the game is just so epic to begin with

However, Homeworld definitely has the best intro.

I thought Agnus Dei was played when you returned to your home planet to find out it had been obliterated.

Diablo 2
Hellgate: London (probably my favourite, it was absolutely superb!)
Freespace 2
Warcraft 3
Mechwarrior 2
MW2 Ghost Bear's Legacy
Mech Commander 1 (phenomenal with real actors and scarily good tactics to take down a Mad Cat/Timber Wolf)
Dawn of War ..... WOW!!!
Dawn of War 2... Bigger WOW!!!

All good!

"I have come to destroy you" - They made the Dreadnaught a little less cool imo with that intro than in the original, Assault Cannon ripping Orks to shreds then mutilating them with its Dreadnaught Fists.

MW2 Intro

No intro has ever been quite as cool as this one to me.

No way. MW 4 has a better intro.

 

[Toonces]

War. War never changes.


Red Alert and StarCraft have already been mentioned.

 

[Pepsei]

but at what cost?

it spawned crappy movies like robot jox and ...there was another robot action flick that i forgot the name... anyone?

That intro was good, but it reminded me a lot of the Intro to Hero's of Might and Magic 5, which was a good intro as well. In fact I am suprised that it wasn't mentioned yet.

Robot Wars, which was its unofficial sequel.

 

[Daverino]

I think it was Wing Commander 4 that really impressed me at the time.

 

[ayabe]

Actually I forgot about SH4, completely awesome especially for a sim.
