    I was a bloody gun in MW4, probably the only multiplayer game I can completely dominate in.

      Wasn’t really that hard MP…
      Load mech with as many med lasers as you could
      Toggle all weapon fire
      Circle strafe opponent
      Shoot at legs.

    Doesnt even work for me. “webpage not available on Firefox” and “Oops we cant find this webpage” on Chrome. I guess everyone has flooded it trying to get themselves a free game.

    hah, I just played through this again earlier this year (found my cds). I remembered it being so awesome, unfortunately for me it hadn’t really stood the test of time, seemed very slow and clunky.

    Maybe it’s just me, but I’m hoping they up the speed of the game for the new one (if it comes out) but yeah, it’s still a nice trip down PC gaming memory lane.

    I haven’t played any Mechwarrior since number 2, can anyone give me an idea how the games have progressed? Not sure if it’d be worth getting this.

      IIRC, the series hasn’t really changed at all, aside from nicer graphics etc.

      It’s been down all afternoon. It’s a shame they couldn’t think about that BEFORE telling everyone to download it.

      I did manage to download their download client before it dies. And after installing that I think I’ll skip on this game…….. What a pos….
