Oh, and over the next few weeks MekTek and Battletech.com will be releasing all of the MW4 games for free download. This is a Good Thing because Ive not a scooby where my Vengence disks have gone!

Hmm, thatll be interesting. I pretty much got into MW in MW2:Mercs, which pretty much is set around the clan invasions. I think all the books Ive read have been either during or post invasion.

Itll be good to get some kind of background to the old houses and factions rivalries

Good news about the MW4 games being released, might give me an excuse to play them again. Also might temp breave some life back into the online games

Never played a Mech game, seems Ive missed out here!

Did anyone play MW4 with keyboard and mouse? I found the way it played to be better off with a joystick.

I tired but couldnt get into it. Was happy that the game was built around the M$ Sidewinder stick tho as its the one i had

I used to use KB + Mouse for jump sniper practice (Game team decided I should learn because it would make me a better sniper hunter), however usually just used a stick because it was easier for brawling, and for running around at full-tilt shooting sh*t.

*bumpity bumpity, bumpity bump*

I actually got asked in to the Beta Testers for this, and its _nearly_ done. Was originally planned for last weekend, but its been pushed back a few days. Should be out Very Soon if anyone is still interested!

If the new mechwarrior game is out as soon as you say I think I could safely say that my free time will now be over with

Love the Mechwarrior series, shame the old clan disappeared, nothing better than organised destruction.

The new "Mechwarrior" titled game wont be out until late 2010 I would guess. However this is an unboxed, unlocked and FREE Mechwarrior 4 :: Mercenaries. Yes the campaign sucks, but the multiplay is still awesome fun.

Damn you Beaker - Ive been haunted with images of Mechwarrior all day since seeing this thread this morning!
Ive was walking down the highstreet just imaging a Mech standing behind a tower block at the end of the street....Ill have to dust off my copy of M2 and try and get my ForceStick working now

Beaker · September 02, 2009, 23:38:14 PM

Poor MadCat MK2, I almost felt sorry for it. Almost.....

Who said Lights arent dangerous. even in the right hands....

Its a shame I binned the old Joystick years ago but I used to play MW2 and MW3 with the keyboard and mouse so MW4 shouldnt be an issue. Will dig out the old CDs and the expansion packs and get it installed again.

zpyder · September 03, 2009, 09:40:16 AM

I actually found I couldnt get on with keyboard/mouse with MW4. 2&3 were fine, and the opposite. But I just found 4 to be slightly more demanding of a proper control for rotation etc.
