So after a long... Long time.

MechWarrior is coming back to the gaming world. I'm epically excited and have been watching it for a little while. I'm sure a few of you older fellows would remember it very well and no doubt played :D

It'll be free to play online, but there are Premium options you can pay for and earn extra c-bills and xp etc.

There is a special "Founders Pack" that was announced today as well with varying costs and you get some bonus stuff, more exp/c-bill earning % etc.

Check out the site for more info:

Now for the cool shit:

Oh wow! Thats a name i havent heard in a LONG time.... I used to love that game!!!

The local INTENSITY used to have full pods setup and they were linked, it was so good back in the day!

looks good. Dont know if i like the idea of having to pay extra for exp and c-bills though.

You get xp & c-bills, just at a lesser rate than someone who pays for Premium.

So if you are really into it, there is a bonus - but like any game where you have to grind a little - you could be playing a lot and not need Premium vs someone who plays a bit less but uses Premium to counter it.

That said as long as the matching system is decent, and not anything like the abortions that Blizzard have used for years, then it should be great :)

I wonder if you can still get the original game to run on PC systems now? I might go search for it just for sh!ts and giggles :D

I managed to get Mech Warrior 2 (my favourite game back in the days of the Cryix 686) 1/2 working on win 7 using D-Fend, athough I can't get sound to work... :dry:

Back to topic: looks sweet, going to give it a try now.

As for the pay for extra xp & credits, looks like a similar model used for World of Tanks (& I enjoyed that game a lot even if the match maker in that game is shit from time to time).

  • 3 weeks later...

No set release date - set for Q3 2012 far as i know.

BETA starts in the next few weeks... Hopefully i get in :D

The more i read and see about this game, the more epic it looks like it will be. Looks to be a LOT of content will keep coming over the first 6-12 months as well via enhancements to mechs, customisation and all sorts of rad shit (all free).

Only issue with that means it could potentially be quite buggy. Lets hope it's not like some other releases of recent times where users are essentially beta testers for 6 months

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

    • They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
