Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
SO HEY MECHWARRIOR

I'm really not the person who should be making this thread, however I do like both free things and giant robots.
Mechwarrior 4 is being given away for free (legally!) at the following website
http://www.mektek.net/projects/mw4/
of course it's getting pretty slammed so I figured I'd make it worse by making a thread about it
I'll give it a shot, these games always seemed a bit complex to me because I am a CONSOLETARD but what the hell.
Discuss robots and mechs and the like.

I think the chassis was called a puma? it was the smallest one available, long legs, really hunched over
it was bare-bones except for the most powerful engine I could mount, some jump jets, a heat sink or two, and a fuckload of flamers
fly out of nowhere, hit the ground running, keep dodging the big guys' shit and cook them inside their cockpit
god, so much fun
Osiris.
Puma was kind of like a turtle

I definitely remember mounting as many small pulse lasers as possible on the largest available chassis and sadistically crippling my opponents limb by limb
edit: wait the Atlas was only in the expansion for 3. It was in 4 though along with the Daishi/Dire wolf

and even if I tried to push my netbook that far it doesn't have a disk drive
you know finals don't end for me for another two weeks, right?
why are you trying to hurt me

God, that thing has some sweet lines
You can also find me on Twitter if you want to be inundated with my horrid opinions off the forums, too!
Seriously.
Could this thread be locked and postponed for 2 weeks please?
Nova was a small mech, but could mount lots of lasers.

wow i haven't had an excuse to use my joystick in forever, this will rock
It's kind of a sci-fi simulator, you don't really have much that plays like it anymore.
But goddamn that was some horrible netcode.
Then Microsoft got a hold of it and fixed the netcode but assfucked all the rest of it up in 4.
So glad I'm not slammed for finals.
Also yeah in Mechwarrior 3 multiplayer you needed to know how to lag-shoot. Not just leading a target, but leading it by enough to compensate for lag

I downloaded their weird torrent thing but I'm not seeing the game on there
might have to wait til it dies down a bit
Salvage was so awesome.
But fuck those space missions.

just for you
God I know. Whoops I just jumpjet strafed off the giant icecube again.
I always tried to get back on it, even though I knew it was completely pointless and I should have just restarted as soon as I screwed up.
come here and let me kiss you on an orifice of your choosing
Takes place during the last part of the third succession war I think.
also does anyone remember this

MechWarrior 2 and all expansions and Ghost Burrs are so great. I really didn't love Mechwarrior 3 though. In-mission repair kind of ruined that game for me. Also somehow all the missions lacked the crazy creativeness of the MW2 games.
things you do in the MW2 games:
blow up a nuclear reactor
accidently float off a giant ice frigate in space
become a submarine
Also my manual told me that a maneuver all the cool pilots were doing was jumping on other mech's heads though I was never able to successfully do that.
And then I read the sort of 'mission statement' on IGN about what the devs are going for in the new game and I had to shut down due to overheating.
