Mechwarrior 4 is now available as a free download for PC gamers along with
numerous improvements and an automated patching and content delivery system.
"Studio MekTek, in association with Smith and Tinker, INC., Virtual World
Entertainment, LLC, Catalyst Game Labs, and Microsoft Games, is happy to
announce the release of Mechwarrior4 Free," reads the game's website.
The Mechwarrior IP is owned by Smith and Tinker, which gave community site
MekTek.net permission to release the game for free last year. Microsoft, the
original publisher, gave the all-clear last week and the rest is history.
The free package includes:
．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
Improvements made to the original game include:
．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!
