Gotcha beat mechbro I still have an unopened box set from 1985.
But I kinda like the simpler days of 3025.

See folks we are dealing with mech collectors. They don't care if there is anything viable for the long term. They don't care if CW is robust or there is any reason to play other than collecting pixelized mechs for that matter. PGI is doing fine by them. Sure they have taken a good turn for fixing things that shouldn't have needed fixing in the first place but hey this guy wants his pixeled mechs.

My Original Box has long since been destroyed. I played the game and left for school then the younger brother discovered it and it was all over....

Or we're just thankful a Mech based multiplayer game exists with decent gameplay.

My sig refers to balance changes, not being okay with a minimally viable arena shooter with mechs when there was suppose to be an engaging robust community warfare. I have all the meta mechs and then some and enough patience and CB to buy the next mech they power creep. I am not playing the collect a mech game when they become redundant after you have the best of each class. I will continue to speak out for a reason to actually play their game until we get it or I just give up.

I pretty much got it to work. Had to change a couple registry things. The mouse was still SUPER buggy but I was able to play through it a couple times last month. II suck with computers but I can try to helpyou. Pm me of you want to go over it.

So what was SOLD to you? An "idea" and Mechs to fight with. If you wanted a SP game then why did you BUY a Online MP game? Next you will say they made "promises" too right? Read you Sig again good sir...

What was sold to us [refering to legendary founder tier]

I believe what came to about 200USD in MC.

1Founders mech of each weightclass.

Name in the credits.

Forum Badge.


That's it, that's all that was "Sold" to us. To think anything more, is folly. Now, I do agree, they TEASED us with high hopes and ideas... about this robust CW experience that would make all mechs matter and all.

Keep in mind, part of the fundimental problems with this game, don't even sit on the shoulders of the devs, but on the attitude of the playerbase itself. You take the optimal things because you WANT to, and because you can. but you never stop to think if you SHOULD do so.

the "meta" does nothing but hurt the game in the long run, it becomes stale. And is why I'm happily in Tier4, I don't play the meta, I play mechs I like, proxy's of mechs we don't have yet, ect.

So, PGI pitched us a multiplayer mech game, we have a multiplayer mech game... we also have a game that has released mechs that have never, or rarely been seen in digital form also. Both of those things, are important for Mechwarrior as a brand.

Did I get everything I wanted from this game? No, far from it, and the dev's have had their moments of idiocy, BUT, this is the best mechwarrior experience in town right now... so I'll happily take it.

Used this guide to get me set up:

https://www.reddit.c..._4_mercenaries/

Don't know if the torrent part works, I've been using the original discs, but the rest of the guide worked great for me.

[Coolant]

Agree with OP, thank you PGI for MWO.

+1 for the Hauptmann, one of my favorite in MW4. Ballistic nightmare for the enemy
