Good multiplayer fun, single player somewhat lacking.

First off let me be blunt, this is not a simulation game. Though if you invest some time in learning the hotkeys you can really clean up. Honestly though about a dozen keys is enough to play. Though there are about 30 useful commands overall. As for whether this is good or bad, I would argue for the better, though fans of the Battletech series may dislike the game, I feel the more casual approach has gathered a much larger player base which is important for the forthcoming reasons. To a large extent this game plays like a slowed down FPS. The mech choices are good, and while some weapons are nearly useless, most have uses in various situations and customized loadouts to fit any fighting style can be made. That being said the real show is in multiplayer, with the single player campaign in my opinion best merely for training players before they hit the multiplayer servers. If you come for only the singleplayer campaign you're probably gonna be disappointed, as the extremely linear storyline is not very riveting, and most of the mission scenarios can be won merely by blasting anything that moves. In multiplayer however the game shines, with intense pvp battles, and sneaky tactics from other players.

My other main beef with the game aside from the lackluster single player campaign is the general ineffectiveness of the smaller mechs against the heavier mech chassis. As it is their small size prevents the better weapons from being mounted on them and even should a small mech get behind a big mech chances are the big mech will get a bead on the little mech and blast it to pieces long before the little mech has injured the big mech.

Did God Make this game?!

This is a very FUN GAME! This game is by far the best MW game that is out. the bad thing is Single player= Easy. If you dont have internet. Then u dun wanna get this game. Multiplayer is challenging. Different modes such as : Capture the flag, Team attriction, Hide and Seek , Steal the Beacon, Attriction, Destruction, Team Destruction. I think i listed enough.

I have the xpac to this. But xpac is worse then the original.
Many Mechs to choose from. You can practicly make your own mechs.

For any newbs. If your wonderin how peeps are so good in team attriction and stuff. Just make yourself a Nova Cat with 7 er lrg lasers or a Daishi with 6 er lrg-a 15 lrm pack-2 clan gauss rifles and waste everyone.

But you still wanna try diff weapon combinations. Like i have a shadow cat with 2 er lrg and 1 eppc and a light gauss. and it rox.

If your a ... newbie. Get a vulture. and glue 5 20lrm packs on it and lock and fire.I wouldnt consider doin it though. its for sissys and sum ppl ban u for doin that.

This game has killer graphics. Its impossible to see what the hell is wrong with it. Lasers are enhanced in 3d too. The pulse lasers actually look and sound like pulse lasers.

A few new mechs. Nothing to serious though. there are to many things about this awsome game that i cant name em all.

Well thats my review. this game is worth the money
And its a Must buy

Id pay [$$$] for this...its really that good.

MUST BUY!

I didn't know about MechWarrior 2 or 3 when I got this- I didn't even know what a 'Mech was. I started it, and the game is great, from the first mission (blowing up a base on the moon) to the last. All I can say is that it is by far, with no exceptions, the best game I have ever played (and believe me, I've played a lot). My advice is GET IT!

Loads of Mechanized fun!

It takes some time getting used to piloting a 'mech, but once you get the hang of it it's really a blast. The graphics are very nice, with believable 'mech movements, nice weapon animations, and terrifying explosions. Gameplay is addictive, but not all mindless fragging. I found that in several missions, the best way to survive was to evade the enemy rather than duke it out.

I think Mechwarrior 4 is more attractive to players of space simulation games than to first person shooter fans. I don't like shooters at all, but I love this game!

THE BEST PC EXPERIENCE EVER

REMEMBER ALL THE HYPE WE HAD OVER MECHWARRIOR 2. WELL ITS BACK ONLY BIGGER,BADDER,& BETTER THAN BEFORE. I HAVE HAD MORE FUN OUT OF THIS GAME THAN ANY I HAVE EVER PLAYED ON THE PC(INCLUDING MECHWARRIOR 2,DOOM,HALF-LIFE,THE ORIGINAL PRINCE OF PERSIA,OR ANY OF THE GREATS. THE GRAPHICS ROCK AND THE MECHS LOOK INCREDIBLE. YOU WILL NEVER GET BORED WITH THIS GAME BECAUSE OF ALL THE OPTIONS YOU HAVE IN THE MECHLAB AND EVEN THE LEVEL OPTIONS ARE COUNTLESS. THE URBAN LEVELS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MY PERSONAL FAVORITE LEVELS IN ALL THE MECHWARRIOR GAMES SO WHEN I FIRST GOT THIS GAME I WENT RIGHT TO INSTANT ACTION TO THE CITY STREETS AND IT BLEW MY MIND. THE BUILDINGS AND STREETS HAVE NEVER LOOKED BETTER.THE MOUNTAIN,SNOW,SWAMP,DESERT,AND LUNAR LEVELS LOOK AWESOME ALSO. THE WEAPONS ARE VERY NASTY AND SOME OF THE COMBINATIONS WILL BLOW SOME OF THE ENEMY MECHS AWAY IN ONE OR TWO SHOTS!JUST DONT GET TWO CLOSE! I LIKE HOW YOU CAN SALVAGE THE CLAN MECHS AND THEIR TECHNOLOGY TO YOUR OWN. I RECOMEND THIS GAME TO ALL GAMERS AND I BET THAT ANYONE WHO LOVES TO PLAY GAMES WITH GIANT ROBOTS BLOWING EACH OTHER UP WILL BE MORE THAN IMPRESSED WITH THIS GAME. I HAVE HAD THIS GAME FOR 8 OR 9 MONTHS AND IT IS STILL MY FAVORITE GAME.I CANT WAIT TILL THE EXPANSION BLACK KNIGHT COMES OUT IN THE FALL.

Oh yea, baby!!!

I have been a big fan of the Mechwarrior series since the first time I played Mechwarrior 2. This is a great game. The AI is much better with regards to lancemates than Mech 3. The game is also harder which, I think, makes it more fun to play. You actually have to work to win. The only thing I really wasnt cracked about was the live action video. I typically think that kind of thing is cheesey. The story behind it, however, was done well. In short...Buy it. It rules.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet game

I'm a big fan of Mechwarrior 1, 2, and 3 and all but when I got this game I was blown away by how fun it was. Sure I hate FMV a lot, but the game is cool. The only thing I don't like to much is how you can only put specific types of weapons on a specific Mech. Over all I give this game 5 stars because of the story plot, the graphics, and the mechs. If you have been thinking about buying it, Buy it.

Great Graphics and Gameplay!

Mechwarrior 4 is by far the best in its class. It's control system is complex yet easy to learn. The plot is very well developed and the graphics are incredible. The opening cinema makes it look real. Mech selection for the player is excellent although I prefer Mechwarrior 3's mechlab to the simpler, but more limited mechlab for #4.

Good Game

Mech 4 is a good all round game. You can play many different types of kinds of battles. It never gets tiring. Make sure your computer is up to date though because this game is very graphics heavy.

I prefer the heaver Mechs my tactic is stand there and blast away. That doesn't always work because in the missions you can't always get the heaver Mechs. So practice with the smaller Mechs too. The best way to fight with them is to use torso twist a lot and run circles around the other Mechs.

I would give this game a 10 if I could

this game was made to absolute perfection. the graphics are extemely exceptional, one of a kind. I know you gamers out there feel the same as I do, We need a MW5, with even more mechs, and more missions to play. To my opinion mechwarrior 4 vengeance should be awarded the BEST GAME OF FOR THE YEAR 2001, without a doubt, I am sure you gamers out there feel the same way I do. Trust me I bought many games this year, as I state on all my reviews, I am very particular about the games I buy. I am sure this particular game was difficult to make, But they did an exceptional job in doing so, thank about it, and thank you: PEACE:
