Armored Core 2 Hints V (PS2)

Armored Core 2 is a mecha video game in the Armored Core series. Sixty-seven years after the events of the first game, Earth's second largest corporation, Zio Matrix, acquires the plans for a research project on Mars, dating before the Great Destruction. Using these plans, Zio sends a research team to Mars to begin the Terraforming Project, which causes the Martian surface and atmosphere to approximate that found on Earth. Other corporations quickly learn of the project and follow Zio, bringing with them the competitive environment that existed on Earth.

Similar to the first game, the player starts off with a basic AC and is expected to complete a trial mission which consists of destroying several MTs. Completing the mission will register the player's character with Nerves Concord, a "mediation" firm much like the Raven's Nest of the PlayStation era games. From that point on, the player is relayed missions by the Nerves Concord manager and by completing these missions will advance into the game's storyline.
