The last great mechwarrior game

This was the last great mechwarrior game. Future mechwarrior games were turned into more arcade friendly FPS style games and abandoned most of the simulation and customization of this and earlier titles.

a necessary add-on to Mech 4

If you want to expand your Mech universe this is a needed piece of software. It does work on XP and Vista but you have to run it as administrator. This adds the mercenaries viewpoint to your battlemech software.

Fun for different play styles

I absolutely enjoy this game. In fact, I find myself laughing whenever I get off some really good hits on other mechs. I spend a great amount of time in the mechlab working on my team and making them as effective as possible. I find that you can micromanage as much or little as you want and you'll still be able to beat most of the missions. There are some that are really hard, but it's still enjoyable. I think there's really only one mission that I had to do more than once, but that's because I wanted the bonus cash and kept screwing that part up.

I highly recommend this game for all who want to blow stuff up in a customizable mech.

Fun to Destroy!

Very fun, I also have Mechwarrior Trilogy. If you like to piloting 100 ton armored Mechs with enough wepons to level a city, then this is the game for you. The fight for money in this version is added fun and the arenas are another fun new twist. If you get a chance grab a Sidewinde joystick for extra piloting control. 5 stars for fun, the overall fun is 4 stars because Microsoft should have incuded the MekPaks for free.

this game has great online gamming if you buy this game make sure you go to www.mektek.net and download the mekmatch because the microsoft zone doesn't work anymore, With this you can find online servers. Updates are also available there. When most get this game they did not know about mektek and it is hard to play online without it.

Alright in this one its no so much weapons and graphics...

...can you imagine being a mercenary, being able to chose what to do, i mean COME ON!!! This game is like backstabbing galore when you switch contracts with different factions, buy different mechs and weapons and hire your own pilots to be part of your lance! It's great! I highly recommend this for PC gamers, and is a must have for Mechwarrior fans

Very Boring

This has got to be the most boring game I've ever played. All you do is shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot at a target for several minutes until it blows up. I don't mind shooters but it gets rather tedious when you have to spend so much time on just one target.

accually im 13 exactly but...........

The game senerios are great training and alot of fun. But I found the most satisfaction playing online with others. Working together as a team to try and beat another group of people on a different team. Online gaming is free once you have purchased the base game. There are several organized ladder leagues that have lots of people that want to have fun too. A good example is Mechwarriorleagues if you can find it. There you can find a ton of additional maps and patches for new mech types.
The game runs alot like a 1st person shooter, but you are piloting a giant robot like machine: a Mech. Because you are in a big "Mech" you don't die with 1 or 2 shots like alot of shooter games, which makes this a good LAN party game as well. Friends that have never played it before can join in and have fun without feeling that they are just another target for person that is more experienced at this game.

Mech Warrior 4-Now more complete than ever.

Mech Warrior 4 Vengence was a great game, with a solid plot, good gamplay, and great overall tilt. I have also purchased Mech Warrior: Black Knight and loved it-with more weapons, mechs, and overall destruction whats not to love? Mercinaries does the same thing. Not only added content, but a new story, way of play, added a second lance, and different strategy makes Mercinaries Mech Warrior 5.
