Keep an eye on BattleTech.com – the free download will be available soon![/b] http://www.mektek.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=138700 QUOTE Q: What will be free?A: Everything. Mech 4 Vengeance, Blackknight, Clan Pack, Is Pack, Mech 4 Mercs. Everything. Q: How is this even close to legal? A: We have received official permission from the owners of the MechWarrior 4 IP to do this. http://www.smithandtinker.com/news/mechwar...tletech-com.php http://battletech.catalystgamelabs.com/200...battletech-com/ http://battletech.catalystgamelabs.com/200...battletech-com/ Q: What all will be included? A: Every Offical MechWarrior 4 related item which was listed above and MekPak3. Maps that are confirmed working. Basically everything we can. Q: Will I need a CD? A: No, we're going to be removing the need for a CD. Q: How will we be able to get it? A: We're looking at a few ways to get it. Direct download from sites and bit torrent which we have used in the past. It will be in iso format around 3 to 4 gigs in size that you can burn to a DVD. Q: Why won't it include MP4? A: MP4 will not be ready for release when we are ready to release the total Mech4 pack. Q: When can we expect to see the download? A: Its going to be at least a few weeks before its ready. We have to put it together and test it to make sure everything will work.[/b] :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyBOB Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Awesome. Now if only there was source code in that... mmmm MechWarrior 5. Although that Living Legends mod for Crysis is still going to be awesome, bar none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Weedy Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Wheee. ^^ Maybe I'll download it and build my mech of close range destruction once more. Daishi with... was it 6 auto shotguns. Here I come... Every direct hit means you are dead and if you're not dead on the first shot, you're dead on the second shot for sure.

spellman23 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Shiny. I've only played a bit of Mercenaries. Got bogged down in optimizing all my mechs and losing no one. =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
