Because there’s a new Mechwarrior game on the horizon, people will for the first time in years have Mechwarrior on the brain. To help you get your fix, then, Mechwarrior 4 is going to be re-released. For free.
Yup, all you have to do is wait a bit (it’s not out yet), head over to MekTek.net and you can grab the game (along with its expansions) for nothing. Squat. SQUAT.
How it holds up after all these years is anyone’s guess (I’d given up on the series long before it hit a fourth instalment), but hey, it’s free. No word on just when it’ll be released, but we’re promised it’ll be “soon”.

Friday, July 10, 2009 at 6:55 PMAwesome news, can’t wait to play it after all these years. My first MW game was MW 2: Mercenaries, I still have it sitting on my shelf next to me.
Actually it’s kind of depressing thinking back to how amazing those games were when they came out; it’s so hard for games these days to wow you like they did a decade ago…

Friday, July 10, 2009 at 8:54 PMMech2 was the very first game I ever got to play on my then-brand spanking new Diamond Monster 3Dfx video card. If this and the new game give me even a fraction of the joy I got out of that I’ll be in heaven…

The graphics are just astoundingly horrible considering how good they looked back in 2002. It’s really amazing not only how far things have come but how things that looked great when they came out look terrible only a few years later.
