> Mech 4: Black Knight made some nice changes to Vengeance in that it included some new mechs (which all look better than their predecessors), all of which are quite useful (finally, useful light mechs other than the Cougar!) On the negative side, production values for the mission briefings and voice acting (which was not anything to write home about the first time) have gone down. Also, missions vary wildly in difficulty, from being over in minutes (single digits) with hardly a shot fired to being all but impossible until you do enough trial+error runs (I though Mech Commander had the monopoly on those sorts of missions!). Also, the black market system had a lot of work that needed to be done on it, which fortunately would show up in Mercenaries, a very good sequal to MW IV. The most annoying thing Black Knight really does though is in its story. It does one of the worst carry-over jobs I've ever seen in a sequel. While Diablo II pulled off the "Hero gone bad" relatively well, this game just starts off with "All those people you worked hard to beat the previous game with, including yourself, are now psychopathic genocidal murderers. Aren't you glad you worked to beat the last game the harder, good way?" Games like KOTOR II approach sequels right, by having a storyline of its own, but allowing the player to update what occurred previously based on how they beat the first game! This does not seem too difficult, but I hardly ever see it. Pretty much, the story ruined a lot of the game for me, which is a shame because the mercenary idea and mechs seemed great.

Okay, there's nothing wrong with a challenge. But I'm just selfish and unsporting enough that I don't want a tie when I lock up with the enemy-- I want to bring enough force to bear on them to overwhelm them. And that is the weakness of Black Knight-- mission after mission. You can't. On most of the missions, you ought to have two lances or more, but you will have to cross your fingers and try to beat the four to one odds with your one lance and on again, off again lancemates. Perhaps Mechwarrior: Mercenaries spoiled me badly, but I was too busy cursing like a werewolf for most of the missions in Black Knight at the lousy odds and even worse mission profiles to enjoy any of it. Now, if they had let me import my gear and lances from Mercenaries to this one.... that would have been different. To #@%%% with the Legion, Spectre Lance rules.
I LOVE BK

I am a big MechWarrior fan.I have #3,4.Not #4 Black Knight.They are really fun games to play.I like it because it is challenging and it is fun.I build Mechs with legos.I am trying to find where I can get little models of any Mechs.Some of the games are a little cheap.Otherwise they are all sweet games.I have played all of them, but I only have these two. I am going to get this one for my birthday.If any kids who like robots blowing up other robots.Then they should get this game.

This game is the bomb the new mechs are the coolest the sunder and royoken and black Knight rock!
The new wepons just kick but like Ultra AC 20, X pulse lazer, cluster bombs and all wepons have a clan vesion!
The missions are harder you have to kill the people you had in the last game. So you should buy it!!
Wait for the patch!!

Got this yesterday and played it all night. There are quite a few bugs and zero on-line support as of yet. They either don't do the damage they claim or it doesn't register. Cluster Bombs are cool but also don't appear to register the stated amount of damage. The install overwrites your joystick settings that you set up with the MW4 patch 2 version 2. Switching from chain fire to group fire etc doesn't "stick" and you have to keep re-switching. It may have been coincidence but after installing last night I tried a multiplayer session and we were ghosting and warping so badly that we couldn't play. I'll try it again but we didn't have that kind of trouble previously.
Great Addition to an already great game!!!
