Okay time to play! I saw the Sins thread and so I guess it is "game on" time. Join the ingame channel "Mechs Rule" and lets get going! I personally feel the MekTek patches add a lot to the game but they are not a necessity and we can play with just the PR patches from Micro$oft if you all prefer.
I really hope there is enough interest to justify this, as this game is pretty radical and I am sure everyone who has ever played it remembers it fondly...
We will of course be playing on Hamachi.

We can set up a ladder league if we get enough people! Convince your corp to pirate it and start a team, maybe we can work out a tournament or something.
I wanna see Goonswarm Atlas VS. BOB Shadowcat MK. II!
United Legion Nova Cat VS. IAC Ryuoken!

Yeah but I do not want to play with a bunch of professionals, I want to play against a bunch of other people who just reinstalled last week and are novice at best and who ALSO have EVE in common with me.
What is your beef with MekTek?

A lot of the "clan" I was in left MWL after Mektek 2.0(IIRL) and MWL moved to Mektek patched only games.
& since Mektek patches for a lot of us were bugged to hell and back with hitpoint locations, it also enabled a lot more questionable tactics.
It might be blind of me to say Mektek caused the clan to split but it was the catalyst.

I hope that turns out good but that "total conversion" is sounding more ambitious than some feature releases so I doubt it ever gets anywhere.
And Mechwarrior lol FOX'd.

MW4:Mercs. Ahh, a worthy (albeit more arcadey) sucessor to MW2:Mercs. IMHO, MW2:Mercs = epitome of perfected mech combat.

As bad as MW4 graphics are, MW2 make me nauseous.
EDIT: And I am on vent right now with a friend and we wanna play, anyone wanna join in for a 2v2 or an FFA or something?

The configurations system basically, MechWarrior 3 was the last to use the flexible configuration options, 4 uses dedicated slots for specific systems, making it harder to mix-and-match the configs on the mechs, taking away a lot of the flexibility and variation you could get out of the different mechs.

The MekTek patches bring back omni-points. And personally I like the mechs being unique, if every mech is exactly the same, just with different tonnage and a new model that would be pretty boring.
I like having laser mechs, missile mechs, gun mechs, fast mechs, slow mechs, omni mechs, etc. Not every mech is a Chimera.

While that is true, and I did tend to stick to what the mech was designed for, I really liked making my own descisions in terms of how much firepower I packed onto a mech. (with spectacular failure happening almost as often as succes)
Nothing says "powa" in a brainless way as a mech that can 1-shot anything up to a 70 ton heavy but shuts down from overheating immediately after a single alpha strike. (or blows its reactor apart, which happened the first few times I tried making one like that)
Or an atlas fitted with 4 Ultra AC20s (and requiring reloads of ammo every couple of minutes)
You could have a lot of fun with crazy configs.

You can still do that with MW4 stock! You ought to re-install and have a go at it with me, I fitted a Black Knight with dual Clan Ultra AC20 and a medium x-pulse laser. Then I re-fit with a full x-pulse/ppc loadout. Then I tried pumping up the engine speed, fitting jump jets, and loading up a bunch of clan machineguns and CSRMs for fast and close strafe brawling...
There is a TON of variety inherent to each mech, and if you do not believe me go ahead and install and play a bit!

I just might do that, its been a while since I played MechWarrior (either 3 or 4) and besides, the Clan Mech Pack is a lot of fun to use.

Pity, with all that power in mechs they could make an EVEN MORE badass tank with the same technology.

True Kirjava, although in MechCommander (either I or II) the heavy tanks at higher difficulty posed a serious threat to mechs, especially the larger slow mechs. Triple heavy gauss tended to mess up the armor plating to no end.

I'll play only if it's stock mechs only. I quit playing because it was "pop goes the weasel" with sniping BlackKnights.
