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 ....

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 · « **Reply #35 on:** November 07, 2005, 11:44:11 am »

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.

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....

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.

Well, if you played the previous games or the pen & paper/table top game it is based off of... you will notice that in the latest incarnation of the Mechwarrior, the med sized weapons do the damage of small weapons (from the table top/previous MW series) and the small weapons do about 1/10th of that.

I will have to check out the mektek.

BTW, the chain guns ROCK!!!!

FA Frey XC · « **Reply #39 on:** November 07, 2005, 02:57:04 pm »

Chain guns, you mean RAC's ?

KBF MalaK · « **Reply #40 on:** November 07, 2005, 03:15:00 pm »

all of my league days were on MW2 (registry, TKZ) and mercnet the only reason to take a small projectile weapon is to fill unused spaces on your mech. It's a waste to take 8 machine guns as they didn't share ammo in mw2 so you'd have to take 8 tons of ammo for you MG.s 8 tons plus .5tons(each gun)=12 tons, when an AC10 (7.5 tons) and 4 tons ammo will do it quicker and cheaper.

Better knock down too if combined with the proper energy weapon. ( I prefer long range high energy weapons, a fast mech, and on accasion if the mech has enough room ... a good Gaus[sp?] rifle. )

Amateurs

The only thing that matters is that the Mech look cool
Marauder & MadCat for teh win!

KBF MalaK · « **Reply #43 on:** November 07, 2005, 05:17:07 pm »

madcats and marauders are easy game, aim for the legs
warhammer, (if you got the pack) or Uzeil with jumpjets. I prefer the maddog (vulture) but again- chicken walkers have weak legs.

to a degree ... but then again ... depends on how fast ya move .. and if ya can shot from the hip while on the run at full throttle !

I like the MechTech pack.

It has my Urbie in it.

Quebec Ebay store.

20 bucks.

OK peeps, if everyone keeps throwing sites where to buy it at me my\
excuses for avoiding Frey are gonna start to wear a little thin....

Thanks! lepton- I could have sworn I looked at all the Ebay sites, dunno how I missed that one.

Fortunately (?) after literally being laughed at when i called some of the local EB stores
looking for it, I stopped in at one I hadn't called.
Lo and behold, one last copy of Mercenaries sitting there on the shelf.

Soon, soon I shall be as feared in a Mech as I am in a CWLP...

here's the mercs patch site.

I couldn't get it from microsoft. Ill try and get the IS pack by tonight.

OlBuzzard · « **Reply #52 on:** November 08, 2005, 12:53:52 pm »

Any chance anyone can tell where to get the patches for MW-3. I have not been able to play that one since I switched to XP.

Frankly most of the sites dont have it ... I've tried a couple ... but to no avail.

762_XC · « **Reply #53 on:** November 08, 2005, 01:48:47 pm »

I didn't think MW3 ran on XP.

OlBuzzard · « **Reply #54 on:** November 08, 2005, 02:23:58 pm »

ummm

I just heard there was a patch ... and supposedly, if ya check the right forums ... ( I dont always have the time to research as I'm at work all the time ... even now) there is a patch to correct the problem with Winblows XP.

if ya stumble across it .. could ya please post. There were some features about it that I liked better than MW-4.

thanks

762_XC · « **Reply #55 on:** November 08, 2005, 02:29:14 pm »

Really? I didn't like 3 at all.

OlBuzzard · « **Reply #56 on:** November 08, 2005, 02:57:00 pm »

Damage and texture details in some cases definitely better.

the mechs in 4 are a little better .. and a better variety.

But, I have always liked better details.

BTW... There are some things about SFC OP that I like better than SFC-3.

3 has a better selection of ships for the races that are there ... but OP has some a better selection of races.

(At any rate before we get OT here ... )

I would deeply appreciate it if anyone can find anything on the MW-3 patch for XP.

It won't run on XP. Even with the 98 compatability mode. I tried and tried, it won't go...

Ya, I was on a bit late, and I'm not just some 'noob' Mr. Frey. I got TS set up properly finally and was waiting to get into a game but nobody gave up the IP number. Will someone PLEASE enable the text option on Dyna's TS server so others know I'm alive until I get a mic.
