The link isn't working. I wonder if it has too much traffic. I'll try again later. Is it any fun to play?

Yup, looks like their servers are being a bit overloaded atm.  I personally take that as a good thing as it means there is alot of interest :).  As for is it fun, yes lots :)

Some more info from the battletech site

Quote
. Within 4 hours of the launch MekTek.net had received more than a 100,000 unique hits from around the globe. As the demand reached 10,000 simultaneously downloads, even the heavy-duty server couldn’t stand up to the demand and it, along with the website, have crashed.

It looks like they got parts of their pages working again.  If you haven't been able to download MTX, you can grab it here http://mektek.net/projects/mw4/download.html 

The proggy is a bit of a hog atm, but you will be able to dl and patch mw4 (i just did today)

Thanks! That's another classic. I came in late on it, so just experienced it alone. MW4Merc disc is missing somewhere or I'd still be playing. Anyhow, I'll check out the DL.
I might if I was awake

wow, MW4:Mercs....loved that game, but havn't warmed up the joysticks in a while.
Played all the MW series, Vengence, Black Knight and Mercenaries, still have all of them installed.
Hm, wonder if they still have all those great Mods and missions, really like the those C0-Op missions.
Hm, I may have to dust off the X52s and check this out again.

yea I stopped playing MW with joysticks a long time ago, I found them to slow in PVP. I used a track ball mouse when playing MW and had much better results, I am sure a regular mouse works fine too. ;)
