This contradicts BattleTech canon, where Clan Wolf splits into two factions, a crusader and a warden faction, and neither of the Wolf factions conquer Earth (at least until the ilClan era). The game ending videos assume that Clan Wolf escapes to what appears to be Earth. Also, the factions use 'Mechs that in some cases should be considered rare for the faction that uses it. A noteworthy exception is that some DropShips and buildings are shielded. The missions in MechWarrior differ from the missions given in the scenario pack, but the missions themselves appear mostly in line with other BattleTech material. The videos introducing Clan Jade Falcon and Clan Wolf seem in line with the thinking of the fictional timeline. That said, the game is loosely based on the scenario book The Falcon and the Wolf, with some situation descriptions and aftermaths being copied directly from that book. On this premise, MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat is considered to be an apocryphal product. Computer games are explicitly excluded from the list of products that contribute straight Canon to the BattleTech universe while at the same time it was stated that the IP owners are "not in total denial about these sources either" it has also been stated that fluff from certain official, licensed products (namely certain computer games including those produced by Activision) can be assumed to be part of the shared universe as long as it is not directly contradicted, and makes sense.
