You hear me? I WILL END YOU.

Erm... Thinks for a while Maybe?
Never the less, no. Game, no movie still stands.

This is a thing that needs to be stopped. This must not happen. MechWarrior is fine without a fucking movie. NO. STOP. YOU CAN'T.
09/30/09
No. So... so much that could get fucked up, if that's easy to believe.
('Lest people think I bash on my beloved Battletech Universe, I say only this: Hanse Davion is the shit, Kai Allard Liao is a whiny bitch, and Sun Tzu Liao is not to be fucked with. )

Yes, Kai was a whiny bitch, but he and Phelan Kell/Wolf are the best MechWarriors in the entirety of humanity! That gives him some leeway. Phelan is much more badass regardless.
Hanse Davion was indeed the shit, but I tended to like Victor morso. Don't get me started on Katrina.

Also yes, I also forgot about Natasha Kerensky, queen badass. Unfortunately, she gets a few minus points for getting killed in the dumbest way possible.
09/30/09
There. Fixed that for ya.

Transformers 2 a better giant robot movie than Robot Jox? Are you crazy? Are you insane? Transformers 2 isn't a better anything than anything, and Robot Jox is a masterpiece of cinema, because it's so damn bad. But there's a difference! Robot Jox is one of those movies that falls within the "so bad it's great" category of films, like Mars Attacks and many James Bond movies. Transformers 2 is just plain bad.
A POX I SAY! A POX ON MICHAEL BAY!

I was pretty sure everyone knew how shitty that movie was. Oh well, should've put /sarcasm at the end. My bad.

I had to deal with this one a lot. http://wavs.unclebubby.com/wav/Mechwarrior/shutingdown.wav
Probably why I mostly just use Ballistic Weapons these days.
*edit* shucks, you used to be able to just paste a link in. Never bothered to learn how to post a link in custom text, and I'm too lazy to learn it right now.

Once you start mucking around with the two major mods out there (NBT HC and MekTek MekPak), though, things start getting dicey. Your tastes really have to align with each one's respective changes in order to truly enjoy things.
Still, I would recommend folks to check it out. I had a lot of fun with it over the years, and the customization of 'Mechs is still a strong and enjoyable cornerstone of the experience.
07/10/09
Do explain! Back in the day I found out about the MekPak, but never got into it - I think because I didn't have Mercs.
What makes it dicey? Unbalance between Clan and IS tech?

Eventually, things were changed for the "better," but not before the community splintered into factions of supporters and dissenters. The Great Forum Wars led to a lot of folks giving up on the game due to the bickering and bullheadedness of each side.
Sadly, the community is nothing more than a shell of the game's glory days.

A large game could easily take 8 hours+.

You think the heatsinks were bad? Even looking at the Starfleet Battles ship sheets will cause convulsions!

Now you know.

Here is a hastily cobbled together website of links and instructions on how to get it working.
Additionally, here is a link to an article Kotaku had on the very subject back in 2006, which links to the same site.

Interesting to see this and Daggerfall announced as free downloads in the same day too. I wonder what other old gems games companies are planning to release this way?

Frankly, if they take MW4, and scale back the whole post-clan mech CRAZINESS, they'll have one hell of a game.

Actually, FASA are the ones making the new Mechwarrior.
