I kill beers...

[OlBuzzard]

yes ...

I have most of the MW-4 series  ( I think I'm missing the last one ) ..  Hmm  that IS Mercenaries ..   right ?

NUTS!

[KBFLordKrueg]

NUTS!

Yeah...but, you can pick it up for $10 or less (US) these days.
They even have a Compilation pack, with Vengence, Black Knight and Mercs for less than $20.
And the new downlaodable Mech Paks more than double the number of mechs to choose from. 

[Hexx]

Hmm just found one of the packs for (used) $210.49 (Canadian) on amazon..
Either the exchange rate has gone way south in the last 24 hours or..

I'll see what I can do on the way home from work  ( yeah!  I'm stuck here again ..  Isn't being in mamagement fun?  LOL)

BTW...   if I can get my hands on it ..  can you zip up the DL for me ..   I'm still stuck on dial-up and as I understand it that DL is a biggie !

[likkerpig]

Got mercs around here somewhere but none of the expansion packs.

[KBFLordKrueg]

Check this site out for more add-ons, MekPaks, maps, etc.
Download the updates in order.
Hours of download fun...
http://mektek.net/
And here for tons of new maps:

It's not to bad if you're on Broadband. 

[KBFKrotz]

Hmm, I got rid of my copy during my recent move last month  ...that MekNet needs to get some cool Jade Falcon designs such as the Night Gyr, Turkina, Fire Falcon, and Black Lanner (the stock game already has the Cougar, from what I can recall).

hmmm

I wonder if it's possible to use some of our programs to build a new model ...  that would be cool !

( and yes ...   it has crossed my mind more than once recently )

MekTek has come out with many familiar designs...
WarHammer, Marauder, Black Lanner, Behemoth, ShadowHawk, Dasher... to name but a few.
The lastest Mod pak (MP 3) has 29 new mechs alone. 
There's a list somewhere on the forums on their site.

MekTek is to MW what the D2 modders are to SFC.
They've taken over all the updates and new mech designs since MS has announced it won't come out with any more of the MW series.

If you like Mercs, the mekTek MechPaks are a must! 
And, best of all, they're all FREE downloads...but they are rather large. (MP 3 is 257 MB)

[likkerpig]

Urgh... not really sure what I'm supposed to download... lots o' stuff there
Yes, before you ask, I've had a cocktail or two....

[KBFLordKrueg]

First, make sure you have the MicroSoft patch, PR-1 from their official site:
http://www.microsoft.com/games/mw4mercs/
Then to the MekTek site;

Go to the downloads area..to Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries...then to Merc Expansion packs...then download this one:
  MekPak PR1 to MP2.1a - English   
Description: Updates from Microsoft's PR1 patch to MekTek's MP2.1a. English versions only.
Version: 1 Filesize: 1 bytes
Added on: 06-Nov-2004 Downloads: 41352 Rating: 7.4 (7 Votes)
HomePage | Rate Resource | Details | Editorial

Then go back to the main page of MekTek, there you'll see a link to download the MP 3.

I also got these Maps from the "Maps" aera:  Maps - MS Official (11)     
                                                               Maps - Mercs - MekTek ( 8 )
                                                               Maps - Mercs - Converted Veng/BK (19)

From the New BattleFields site, I just got the Full installer, which has a bunch of maps and missions lumped together.
The Co-Op missions are excellent!

And We're using the Dynavers.net teamspeak server (teamspeak.dynaverse.net, pw is sfcrulz), you'll see the MechWarrior room.

[likkerpig]

Cool beans LK... gotta do some cookin' then I'll get onto it.
Sigh, need a woman again... man shouldn't have to do his own cookin'!
 

[KBFLordKrueg]

At least you always get to eat what YOU want...not try something she found is some stupid magazine...

[likkerpig]

Lord 'tunderin' jesus that was a heap o' downloadin'!
Now to install it all... configure the joystick... remember how to play the game again... heh, I'll check teamspeak tomorrow.
Hey, if the wifey is cooking out of Martha Stewart's Living magazine... well it has to be good, coming from the goddess!
Now if it is from some other rag... maybe an anchovie pineapple goat cheeze cassorole... eh, I'd pass.

[OlBuzzard]

I have to run some more errands this afternoon ..  I should be going to Best Buy and another Wal Mart  hopefully one of them will have it.  No luck so far.

5 left!

[Hexx]

<sigh>

Looks like it's illegal to ship a video game north
Which is kinda odd as I know we have the same versions.

Ah well, it would have been cool to blow t00l up in yet another game, I'll start
scouring the city tomorrow.

I have received several video games from peops in the U.S. and I am north of the border.  I think it is just because Hexx is involved 

[KBF MalaK]

I thought pirates moon (MW3) was the best but I'll tool up mercs for a few more games. This mean another league is gonna start up ???

[KBFLordKrueg]

Well, there is a Mercs league...but I'm not in any league.
We just like to blow s*** up! 
There are many online servers that aren't league games. 

[Capt_Bearslayer_XC]

Hmmm.... have the weapons damage been un-frakked?

I got it but it pretty much killed the game when only large weapons do any damage....

[Hexx]

OK now that there's the remote possibility I'd get to hunt t00l AND Bear,Likkerpig, ...I really must pick it up..

So is Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries the actual game?
Or is it an expansion pack? (seems to be listed as an expansion?)
Basically if I can't find the compilation pack , what do I need to buy?

[KBFLordKrueg]

Mercs is a stand alone game...

[KBF MalaK]

I didn't notice that problem, but again I won't take an AC5 or smaller if I can help it. My personal mech was an awesome with 3 clan PPC's so a hit with that will put most mechs down.

[762_XC]

Ha, wait til you see some of the cheese in the MekTek mod.

[FA Frey XC]

Hexx, I am disappointed that I wasn't even mentioned in that hunting comment.

So, I'm throwing down the gauntlet, Clan style -

YOU, ME, MECHS and a MAP.

Be there, or be square !!!!

I know this seems like a poor excuse,
but I haven't found a copy of the game yet .... 

[FA Frey XC]

Ummm, Hexx :

I'm not haveing any luck either ..   but I'm a crusty old fart and hate handing out credit card stuff over the internet !

[Hexx]

Uhmm as much as I'd love to pay shipping from europe, still
looking for it locally  

If all else fails I'll just have amazon send it to one of my friends in the
states. Then thye can forward it to me.
Sure the FBI might arrest them, but hey
isn't that what friends are for?

[KBF MalaK]

We'll have to hope that we can abide by some of the old league rules- 30 points damage per salvo (all missles)
i.e. 3XLRM 10's, 2XLRM 15's, and such. I never found a use for long tom's so I don't know how to count them.

and all this time I thought that devotion, friendship, and concern for one another was a lost virtue !

If you find a copy, I'll do that for you, Hexx. 
Oh..wait..that means I have to give you my mailing address...
