I've loved Mechwarrior since I first tasted it in the form of Mechwarrior 2 on a demo computer at an office store I was visiting with my dad.

I was pretty blown away by the awesome cinematic intro.

"I need more time!"

"YOU'RE OUT OF TIME. I'M NOT GETTING PAID ENOUGH TO DIE."

mous i just realized that we've been dissin the uziel

but you've got one in your sig

What is wrong with you people saying clan tech is bad.

Clan tech is the best tech.

Snowbeat

clan tech is dumb and overpowered and if you're talking about the actual battletech fiction, it ruined all of it with silly warrior-monk shit

Artreus

Have you considered that maybe Inner Sphere tech is just super shitty because they basically beat themselves back to the dark ages and the clans just handled that sort of thing better so they kept a higher level of technology?

Synthetic Orange

It just started a ridiculous power race then it's like oh all these old Star League cores popping up everywhere and now the IS is even more advanced than the clans ha-HA, that kind of bullshit.

Rinder

Somebody in this thread spoke bad about the Daishi. That cannot stand!

Are you talking about the actual Mechwarrior Dark Ages thing? I haaaaated that. I had the books and.. I forget where I ended. The civil war between Victor Steiner-Davion and his sister.

neeerrrd.

Anyway, if that's what you thought I was talking about I meant just general "dark ages" term where they had shit technology compared to what they had before.

Snowbeat

victor's civil war takes place waaaaay before the official dark ages arc though

Artreus

I know I was saying that is the last thing I remember happening. I lost track of the series and then Dark Ages came out and I was annoyed because it looked terrible

Snowbeat

the civil war was pretty kickin for my 10-year-old self

lots of dead main characters which blew my mind at the time

The Black Hunter

So has that torrent gotten working yet?

FAQ

you guys talking about the battletech cartoon

Goatmon

Was that the show with the artificial blue slave people?

FAQ

is that an avatar joke?

Goatmon

No there was a show about mechs that involved a civil war between humans and artificially made slave people that were blue and I think only four fingers.

I think they were called Neo-sapiens?

Anyway, they got fed up being slaves and rebelled and started fucking the human's shit up, and then a bunch of stuff happened.

edit: Apparently I am thinking of Exo-Squad.

Mechwarrior 4 actually followed the story line

edit: I think

Their website is back up now with a new version of their client or something. I'm downloading now but it's pretty slow.

wajidshah

Same thing is happening to Mechwarrior 5 (A.k.a: Mechwarrior.) One of the mechs supposedly looks a lot like one of the robotech things so ...

Synthetic Orange

Yeah that's a fucking Macross Tomahawk right there in the trailer video.

The Black Hunter

I'll try again when this shit is sorted

Fearghaill

Please god tell me it's just checking the files I've already downloaded and not redownloading new copies.

EDIT: It's extracting files now, so it did use the mtx from the torrent. So at least that wasn't a complete waste.

Just make sure it's in the mektek.net/MTX/temp/ folder.

Its a pretty terrible mech.

blandest

mech

Its like the giant robot equivalent of a Desert Eagle.

FAQ

so if I manage to download 4mb each time I use the computer, it should only take 448 goes to discover it won't run

Langly

But, why not just leave the torrent running? And the computer on?

Snowbeat

okay so i downloaded the file torrent that the dude posted a few pages back

how do i install it and where do i find the patches to make it run?

Langly

Fearghaill wrote: »

Got them.

Patch to v0.0018
Patch from v0.0018 to v0.0020

The first is 3mb, the second 63mb.

Downloading now, will report if they work.

Snowbeat

yeah but i thought that you had to run some special mektek installer or something with the torrented files

Langly

Oh I have no idea, I was just trying to find the patches for you.

Snowbeat

i'm just going to install it normally

damn the consequences, i want to play mechwarrior now

edit: http://www.mektekdev.com/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=94&Itemid=88

FAQ

maybe I'll just buy this thing outright, probably only costs 5 quid

Snowbeat

you won't be able to play with us, this is basically a revised version with a bunch of tweaks

Langly

FAQ mine is taking 20 minutes to dl. Are you in the knowing of how to torrent?

I used to love these games. Although my love for mech games will forever lie with Armored Core.

HERETIC!

Nah, those are fun

and Front Mission

I'm pumped for the Front Mission game coming out later this year

It's a third person action game and not a strategy game, but they haven't made a decent giant robot action game in so long I'll take anything they'll give me

Also I'd download MechWarrior 4 but I don't have a joystick anymore and I don't think you can control it without one, right?

you mostly use the numpad and a few other buttons if you're playing with the keyboard

real fucking simple
