The new version brings with it an offline mode, allowing you to install games and updates when the web servers are down. A critical flaw in our design pattern has been addressed where MTX would fail when our servers went down. There are risks involved with installing and updating in offline mode as the client can't verify the files to make sure they haven't become corrupted, but it does give you the option if you wish to install when the web server is unavailable. If the files are corrupted, you will have to re-download and reinstall in order to connect to servers running the correct version. If you already obtained the MTX patches else where then you should be able to download and install those patches with MTX by using the Browse > Open *.mtx function.
We've also removed the skin from MTX in this version. At some point we will allow for custom skins so you will have the ability to customize MTX's appearance. The public outcry of the application being laggy has been addressed and the result is a much more snappy windows form application.
We strongly recommend that you install the current public beta version 1.0.3.5 by clicking here. This version is not dependent on our website and should function much better under heavy traffic.
Some people have expressed questions and concerns about using MTX to install the game.
MekTek will be releasing a self extracting installer containing both MTX and Mechwarrior4: Mercenaries very shortly. However, in the meantime, if you have your MTX files, download the new installer of MTX, and give it a try.
MTX is still in open beta and with your help, we can resolve the issues that some of you are having.
Please remember that we are not being paid to bring you this game, at absolutely no cost to you. But please realize,that there is considerable cost to us, not only in time, but also financially. Between the costs of server upgrades, insurance, lost time from our day jobs, and sleepless nights attempting to bring you this game, we have paid a considerable price. All we ask in return is a little bit of patience.
As we have for the last 10 years, we do what we do for the love of the franchise. Our ultimate goal in this is to help revive Mechwarrior, a series that we hold dear.
Thank you for your continued support.

One of the greatest features of MekPak3.1 and of Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries in general, is the ability to customize. Mechwarrior always has been about the Mechlab, especially multiplayer. The Mechlab truly distinguishes MW4 from a long list of shooters that have come out in the past 10 years. The ability to create literally thousands of configurations allows the game to continue in popularity over its lengthy life span. Since the Free Release not only comes with the original mechs and weapons of Mercenaries, but also with the Clan and IS Mech Packs and all the Mektek mechs and weapons here is what you are getting..for free.
- 111 different mechs ranging from 20 to 100 tons.
- 9 Battle Armor
- 6 Infantry
- 32 Beam Weapons
- 43 Ballistic Weapons
- 44 Missile Weapons
- 7 Electronic Components
- 3 different types of armor
And, let's not forget the ability to add Heat Sinks to help with Heat Management, upgrading the Engine to increase Speed, and the option to add armor in incremental amounts. The same Mechlab you love has only gotten better over the years.
As if that wasn't enough, the Free Release comes with many improvements over the original Mercs thanks to the Mektek Mekpaks, like added security and a new kind of zone for multiplayer.
That brings us to what many of you have been looking forward to most of all - the new and exciting features and improvements that have been added solely for this special release.
- Clan and IS Mech Pack mechs available in campaign
- Mektek mechs and weapons added to campaigns
- Zonematch has been replaced with MekMatch in all visible text and is the one and only mech-matching service
- 5 new MekMatch servers to host and play on! You can change servers whenever you like. Each server has a dedicated community to cater to
- League Server
- New Players
- Australia
- Europe
- North America
- 'Connect' and 'Host' default to the last server chosen
For those that will be hosting games:
- New features for dedicated servers like the ability to add a fixed number of bots to a dedicated server upon launch chosen in setup! Bot Levels can also be set. Default game length has been changed to 30 minutes instead of original 10.
Other Improvements:
- Game loads much quicker and no longer requires a CD
- Original mechs, Clan and IS Mech Pack, and Mektek mechs arranged alphabetically in Mechlab list (no longer have special symbols in front of the mech name except for Battle Armors and Infantry).
- New Screenshot Folder for in-game screenshots (instead of the main Mercs installation folder where it was difficult to locate them).
Improvements on-screen:
- LTRI (Long Tom Range Indicator) added when a weapon with trajectory is installed on a mech! Torso pitch angle in degrees is also shown! Even height of mech has been calculated and accounted for in range.
- Mission and Computer Clock added as part of the UI. Mission Clock is a semi-transparent pie chart indicating how much time is left on a multiplayer map!
- Additional Chat state. Besides the in-game chat box's normal and large size you have the option of completely turning off chat (disappears). Pressing the 'y' or 'u' key (general chat and team chat) causes the chat box to reappear!
Let's get one thing straight: when big robots come a callin', IGN is ready. I played the heck out of MechWarrior 2 and
Mechwarrior 4 Vengeance No-cd
MechWarrior 4 has more types of BattleMechs, missions, and weapons than MechWarrior 3; the multiplayer competition is outstanding, the artificial intelligence is improved, and the graphics are generally splendid.

Some people have expressed questions and concerns about using MTX to install the game.
The main reason we are using MTX to deliver this free distribution of Mechwarrior: Mercenaries is to be able to serve the many updates we have planned in the near future. Patching and updating Mercs without an easy method of distribution to the amount of people who will need the patches and updates, will become a much larger problem than simply being patient with us and MTX while we work out the bugs. The community will fragment with all the different versions that will be out there once we start releasing updates without a system in place to deliver the updates to everyone playing the free release. We are aware of hardware issues and long standing bugs with Mechwarrior4 which we plan to address in the future. Also worth noting that we are planning to release more Mechwarrior titles via MTX in the future. We realize MTX caused grief for many folk and we apologize. We hope our 100,000 guests that crashed our server this weekend will return and not be too disgruntled.
MekTek will be releasing a self extracting installer containing both MTX and Mechwarrior4: Mercenaries very shortly. However, in the meantime, if you have your MTX files, download the new installer of MTX, and give it a try.

MechWarrior 3, so I could hardly wait for the release of this latest version, Vengeance. In many ways, the game is a big improvement over the previous titles. The animations are convincing and the graphics are spectacular. The game also has a remarkably fun multiplayer element. On the negative side, the environments aren't quite as believable and the missions aren't terribly exciting.But the improvements in the graphics are worth the price of admission alone. Never have the 'Mechs looked this good. I should say rather that there's a kind of rough and dirty 'Mech look that I don't really find attractive, but it's certainly done well regardless of what you think of the style. The 'Mechs are also pretty easy to identify from a distance (although the targeting computer will tell you what you're targeting anyway).
But the look of the 'Mechs is only made better by the animations. The joints are all well articulated and the ball and socket joints at the hips give them a very sexy and very convincing sashay. And the individual limbs and parts can be destroyed independently so you can see 'Mechs walking around with arms and missile mounts blown off. And when your legs get damaged, expect to see a really compelling limp. There's also a tremendous sense of weight behind these 70-ton robots as well. Too many games get the sense of mass all wrong when it's done at this scale. I'm glad to see MW4 get it right.

The rest of the graphic feast is less filling. While the weapon effects are super keen and the environmental textures are solid, the design of the environments is less believable than in MechWarrior 3. While there are still plenty of tents and roads and people to stomp on (although you can't really step on them), the sense that you're fighting in a real place is kind of missing. This is only made more apparent by the big red box that appears on your radar that shows you where you're not supposed to go. Still, the variety of environments is impressive. You can fight in swamps, city streets, hills, tundra, desert and a host of other locations. I thought that much could be made of increasing the sense of verticality in the levels, something which a game like Cyberstrike 2 did very well. While there are tremendous differences in elevation, it still feels like you're fighting on a flat 2D surface.
Moving from the eyes to the ears, MechWarrior 4 offers another mixed bag. On the plus side, the thump, thump, thump of the 'Mech's walk is spectacular. You can't ask for a more credible sound effect. And the fact that it changes to reflect the weight and speed of each particular 'Mech is equally impressive. I also dug the sounds of the various weapons, both when they fire and when they make contact with their targets. On the negative side, the voice acting isn't up to the usual standard here and there are some minor balancing problems. Significant information is often relayed to you during a heated battle and there's no way to hear the message as a result. Sure, it's realistic, but if you're missing important comms because your guns are too loud, then maybe you should turn down your guns.
Moving on to the actual game itself, MechWarrior is way ahead of its predecessor. For one thing, there are a lot of new 'Mechs to choose from here. From 30-ton scouts to 100-ton behemoths, there's bound to be something here for you. I would've liked to have seen more light and medium sized 'Mechs (they only make up 8 of the 21 total 'Mechs). It becomes important later in the campaign to start focussing on the heavy 'Mechs but it would be nice to have a wider selection of mid-range models. Still, the 'Mechs that are included are pretty well balanced. The MadCat still stands out above the rest, but we've managed to do some pretty remarkable things in customizing the other 'Mechs.

And it's the customization feature that really stands out in this game. Gg for mac. Not only is it extremely well thought out, it's also got a great interface. When you visit the 'Mech lab in the game, you'll see a screen with some basic information about your 'Mech (tonnage, speed, twist rate, etc.). Here you can add anti-missile systems, heat sinks, jump jets and some other generic types of hardware. A separate screen lets you allocate armor to each of the points on your 'Mech.
But the real genius of the system is the armaments screen. Each 'Mech has a fixed number of mounts for weapons. But unlike previous titles, these mounts are dedicated to a particular weapons group and limited to a maximum size. For instance, you'll not be able to place ballistic weapons on a Catapult and you won't be able to fit a PPC on a Bushwacker no matter how much free tonnage you have. This really forces you to think about 'Mech design a little more than in previous games. And designing 'Mechs is really easy with the drag and drop menu system. It would be nice if you could save profiles so you could experiment a little more, but what can you do?
This seems like a good place to mention the salvage system. After each mission, you'll receive a number of new 'Mechs and weapons based on whatever happened to be found on the battlefield after you left. This puts the burden on you to try not to destroy absolutely everything. This makes head shots and no-leg kills very desirable because you'll be able to save as much of the enemy 'Mech to use in the next campaign. One big downfall of this system is that you wind up with a whole bunch of stuff that you'll never use. 37 Machine Guns? Come on.
But all this is prelude to actually jumping in the cockpit and taking your 'Mech out for some exercise. The arcade approach works very well here. I expect that the real BattleMechs are as complicated as Falcon 4, but thankfully the developers have decided to tone things down a bit for the game. You can play the game as well with a nice joystick as you can with the mouse and keyboard. I prefer the joystick personally, but a lot of MechWarrior vets around the office found 4 just very easy to play with the mouse. As far as the basic operation goes, very little has changed. You can still twist the torso independently of the legs, you can still jump around with your jets and you can still groups weapons (although hooking them up for chain fire is still eluding me).
But sadly, the excitement isn't all there on the single player side. While the missions are plenty difficult in the later stages of the game, the story just doesn't grab me. It's a great story when condensed into one paragraph pitch form, but spun out into several missions it just doesn't hold your interest. And the missions seem very scripted as well. The enemy AI will make things very difficult for you however. The developers have added several new tricks to the arsenal. Enemy 'Mechs are much more aware of their heat status than before and will avoid automatic shutdowns as much possible. They also use their jump jets more intelligently. Not only will they hide behind a mountain popping up now and then to shoot missiles at you, they'll also jump over your head and begin shooting at you from behind.
But as average as the single player game is, the multiplayer is fantastic. We've had a ton of fun blasting our way through the various multiplayer modes. And, brother, you don't know what fun is until you and a dozen of your friends have battled it out in a dense urban setting.
Mechwarrior 4 Vengeance Isopropyl Review
This game gets the highest honor I can ever give a game: I'm going to keep playing it even though the review is done. While there's a ton of stuff I need to be playing instead (what with the holidays coming up and all), MechWarrior 4 is just too much fun to throw in the closet with all the other 'average' games that we're forced to review. Sure, I'd have loved a little something different from the storyline and I think that the 'Mech models could be filled out a bit more. But these only detract a little from my overall enjoyment of the game. I also realize that all you 'Mech heads are going to buy the game regardless of what I say about it. But with a slightly more action oriented approach MechWarrior 4 may just bring a few more gamers into the BattleTech fold.
