Mechwarrior 4

One of the first and best games I've ever played was mechwarrior 2. Nothing fancy, just good old mechanized combat. It's hard to beat a good mech game, even if it had completely untextured polygons.

I've picked up a copy of mercenaries, got the mech packs, and got this mektek expansion. I've been playing it quite a bit lately, and it has pulled me away from the good but somehow mediocre doom 3.

Anybody else here play? If so, what mechs/configs do you like to use?

I'm not really a vulture fan. I prefer the Loki out of the clan heavies. The Mad Cat just doesn't do the job, and Thor feels like too much of a compromise. The Loki has great speed, great pods, and great electronics.

See, though in Clan matches I used a jumpsnipe Thor, since in BL we were only allowed 70 tonners.

Great game. Other games get installed, played, and removed, but this one always stays. I prefer anything heavy!

Bah! I hate hill humpers enough, but pop tarts are even worse. At least you avoided the nova cat, though the seven laser variant is a fun and slightly challenging one.

I prefer to mix up my weapons a bit, and play for fun. That's why I like the Atlas better than the Daishi.

Man, I haven't touched anything Mech since Mechwarrior 2. Which was about 2 weeks ago. Jump Jetted Warhawk = insane fun. In a way.

I've burned out two copies of Mechwarrior 2. Seriously, I think I need help. I'm now looking for my third disc. I consider it one of the best games ever made. If anyone know's where you can buy an old Mac version of Mech 2, please tell me.

MechWarrior 2 came with my first computer, and is the game that got me into computer gaming. I was around 12 when I got it, and i just loved it and played it constantly.

Later on I bought the game Earthsiege 2 which I found really fun as well. I heard everything after mechwarrior 2 wasn't very good so I never got those, and havn't got any other mech games since either. After reading this thread and thinking about it again, I might just look for some to get though.

MW4 is pretty fun. The hardpoint system doesn't have a lot in common with the pnp game, but as a mech game, it's solid. MW2 is just so old now...

coward? mabye, but I'm just there to have fun. I've never really used the Daishi in online play, as I usually go down a few weight classes and try to play roles. No mech is cowardly if you do interesting things with it. FWIW, I very rarely boat anything besides autocannons.

I don't agree with what you say about the no mech is cowardly if you do interesting things in it, but to each his own I don't want to flame you or anything. And missleboats are easy to counter.
