So what is with this custom download thingy we need to get the game? Are there no traditional links to direct download mirrors?

from a little bit of discontinuous reading i did on their forums, some of their stuff uses a torrent protocol.. perhaps that is what this is?

It's a load of experimental **** is what it is.

AHAHAHAHA
It's hijacking utorrent's Port Forward Checker, and the layout of the rest of the options makes it look, to me at least, like a complete ripoff of Utorrent. _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

Someone found the .torrent the client is using for MW4, though you still have to install using that awful MTX program apparently.

Is there any way to patch the current version of the game instead of having to download the entire thing? I still have the discs kicking around, but my internet connection is below mediocre...

I'm still trying to get that to "work"
Here's how it's supposed to work; Linkage
Howecer i've yet to be able to run the MTX program for more than a minute before it crashes and decides to go non-responsive, so i can't confirm if it even works or not. _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

it's possible to just plug the torrent into utorrent, and it works alot better. go into your MTX folder in program files, temp, torrents. it'll be in there, shut down MTX and plug it into utorrent. should speed it up quite abit. MTX seems to throttle the hell out of you, was getting about 500 bits a second =/ nub> you cant mine so you kill. |

Damn been a long time since I played clan matches. Well Mechwarriorleagues is gone I see. Didn't know vengeance league had restarted after I left. NBT still active though so that is nice. Gonna wait for mech 5 for possible online clan matches though.
Also missile boats only really worked on opens against newbs. Any experienced player would eat such alive. 1. Cover on most maps. 2. Spread the damage by rotating the top of the mech. 3. Can completly evade LRM most of the time if angled the mech just right or jumped at the right time.
Madkat mkII with RAC5s was nasty in brawling matches. Support with novacats with ERML to take out lights quickly. Lights/mediums try to pick off any badly wounded heavies/assualts (lots of points) so the heavies/assualts can wound their opposites. Another nasty assualt is a diashi with 3 ac20s. Alpha would put center torso to nil even against other assualts as well as knocking mechs to the ground most of the time. Had a clanmate finish em off in a smaller mech while working for another alpha after reload on another mech. Used on city maps or other "brawler" type maps. Loved introducing that mech to other players.
For Kill/Death matches that aren't brawls guass/lasers was basically it. PPCs on cold maps or maps with water though still viable on others if not too fast paced of a match. NHUA is great for ppcs though. Didn't play too much on such servers though.
One trick used which many didn't know about on opens was the light guass/ppc extended range setup. Visual range was less than the range of the weapons. Normal visual was 1km while weapons range was ~1.2km. However if you turned the top of the mech so you could see out the side with zoom you could see farther. Poor bastards couldn't see me and didn't know where the fire was comming from . Just mentally line up the shot while they are sitting visiable to you then turn the mech top to fire and "ping em in da head" which would be a center torso shot everytime. Couple of alphas and even an assualt should be dead or close. The blacknight and gladiator was good for that setup if I remember right.

Yeah.
What would have been so bloody hard about just releasing the game as an .iso and leaving it at that. I mean, why do companies always have to try and one-up a method that works? _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

*nods* i tried to mount the mtx file, but that didnt seem to work.. so well, that leaves us with.. aw hell, this crap is stupid. if they had only used a 'real' website to check the abilities of your internet.. or made a distinction between mektek being down, and no internet connection..
Or gods forbid, just have released an iso. Heh.

Whoever coded MTX certainly didn't do so with Windows 7 in mind, my PC isn't exactly slow and it takes damn near a minute for MTX to start and become responsive. It works fine afterwards, but I've never had any program launch this slowly.
Currently downloading the .torrent with BitTorrent rather than MTX but it's still slow going.

i actually think that mechs are the future for military combat, the tank is being outmoded for infantry with modern fighting.. and mechs in the mw style would be a logical step up combining infantry flexibility and deployability and agility. they are working on powered armour and exoskels.. wont be long before the exoskels are bigger and packing more firepower :)

I downloaded the .mtx file using utorrent but now the MTX launcher doesn't work. Mektekdev.com is down so it's broken, great. __________________________________________

My guess is they got a little more attention than they expected. Both Kotaku and RPS have a feature on the release, so they must have gotten a lot more traffic than their ISP could handle.

This thread reminded about the most broken thing about all of the MW games that included it : The mechlab. The source of crap gameplay ! There is a reason why none of the original BT designs are optimal and that reason is game balance.
Imagine being able customize EVE ships with no constraints and you are close to what mechlab did for online games.

Brother, I think you underestimate the amount of problem solving that is needed on the battlefield. But I think that by the time we can make viable exoskeletons ( the power requirements are the big problem ), I think we'll be able to have enough compute power to not need a human operator inside for difficult things like balance etc. That'll mean Bipedal drones and thats another 85kg payload you can add in the package.
