Topic: OT: Anyone else play MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries?

[KBF MalaK]

all of my league days were on MW2 (registry, TKZ) and mercnet the only reason to take a small projectile weapon is to fill unused spaces on your mech. It's a waste to take 8 machine guns as they didn't share ammo in mw2 so you'd have to take 8 tons of ammo for you MG.s 8 tons plus .5tons(each gun)=12 tons, when an AC10 (7.5 tons) and 4 tons ammo will do it quicker and cheaper.

Better knock down too if combined with the proper energy weapon.  ( I prefer long range high energy weapons, a fast mech, and on accasion if the mech has enough room ...  a good Gaus[sp?] rifle.  )

The only thing that matters is that the Mech look cool
Marauder & MadCat for teh win!

[KBF MalaK]

madcats and marauders are easy game, aim for the legs
warhammer, (if you got the pack) or Uzeil with jumpjets. I prefer the maddog (vulture) but again- chicken walkers have weak legs.

to a degree ...   but then again ...  depends on how fast ya move ..  and if ya can shot from the hip while on the run at full throttle !

I like the MechTech pack.

It has my Urbie in it.

I LOVE the Walking Trashcan of Doom!!!

[KBFLordKrueg]

You guys with the MekTek pak, look for us on TS in the MW room. 

[Lepton]

Is this closer, Hexx?

OK peeps, if everyone keeps throwing sites where to buy it at me my\
excuses for avoiding Frey are gonna start to wear a little thin....

Thanks! lepton- I could have sworn I looked at all the Ebay sites, dunno how I missed that one.

Fortunately (?) after literally being laughed at when i called some of the local EB stores
looking for it, I stopped in at one I hadn't called.
Lo and behold, one last copy of Mercenaries sitting there on the shelf.

Soon, soon I shall be as feared in a Mech as I am in a CWLP...

here's the mercs patch site.

http://www.gamershell.com/download_1521.shtml

 I couldn't get it from microsoft. Ill try and get the IS pack by tonight.

[OlBuzzard]

Any chance anyone can tell where to get the patches for MW-3.  I have not been able to play that one since I switched to XP. 

Frankly most of the sites dont have it ...  I've tried a couple ... but to no avail.

[762_XC]

I didn't think MW3 ran on XP.

[OlBuzzard]

ummm

I just heard there was a patch ...  and supposedly, if ya check the right forums ...  ( I dont always  have the time to research as I'm at work all the time ...   even now) there is a patch to correct the problem with Winblows XP.

if ya stumble across it ..   could ya please post.   There were some features about it that I  liked better than MW-4.

thanks

[762_XC]

Really? I didn't like 3 at all.

[OlBuzzard]

Damage and texture details in some cases definitely better.

the mechs in 4 are a little better ..  and a better variety.

But, I have always liked better details.

BTW...  There are some things about SFC OP that I like better than SFC-3.

3 has a better selection of ships for the races that are there ...   but OP has some a better selection of races.

(At any rate before we get OT here ...  )

I would deeply appreciate it if anyone can find anything on the MW-3 patch for XP.

It won't run on XP. Even with the 98 compatability mode. I tried and tried, it won't go...

Ya, I was on a bit late, and I'm not just some 'noob' Mr. Frey. I got TS set up properly finally and was waiting to get into a game but nobody gave up the IP number. Will someone PLEASE enable the text option on Dyna's TS server so others know I'm alive until I get a mic.
