Apparently, they have decided to make Mechcommander, Mechcommander Gold, & Mechcommader II free for downloading...

MechCommader Downloads

Problem is bandwidth.... so if you can mirror it... I am sure folks would appreciate it....

I've got about 30 mins... I'll try to get MC2 while I'm fixing lunch and everyone that wants it from there can just let me know. I'd be happy to burn it and send it out.

Is this an RTS type game?  One wonders why this could not happen to SFC.

Not really. It's a lance or company level tactical combat game with battlemechs.

The website says you will still need to no-cd patch.  Where can one get that?

Zip file for MechCommander2 and Gold no longer seems to be available on that site.  Maybe it was pulled down due to high demand.  I am going to search for the file on bittorent to see if it has popped up there.

I wasn't too crazy about 2. The interface was nice but I don't like finding a certain weapon and then having an unlimited supply of them.
