[Hyperion5182]

Its for real! Its finally happening! Free MW4 mercs+is+clan mechpacks!

[The Legendary Zoltan]

What? It's free? In the past, didn't you have to buy Mech Warrior games? I wonder why they made it free.

Anyway, congratulations to those who were waiting for this. Sounds awesome.

MechWarrior 4 is like 10 years old.

[Hyperion5182]

6 years old but trust me the multiplayer is still as hot as ever. And its great training for Mechwarrior: reboot (working title) and Mektek has really kept the game alive with its upgrades. Enjoy!

Site is down. Must've gotten hit hard with traffic.

Sad face. Hope the site's up and running tomorrow. I never got to play this game, and I've always wanted to.

The site is still down however I found this:

http://www.mektekdev.com/site/index.php

Which also seems to have its own set of links to it (downloading it now, so I don't really know for sure).

Edit: This also has a link to the MTX download.

Some of the links are formatted in a way that breaks them. I had to alter one of them. For people that are far too lazy to even visit the site, this is the direct link to download MTX, the content delivery system for the company distributing MW4. Once you have MTX downloaded, hit the Games Available tab, select MW4, and it will start downloading.

[DusK]

Thanks much, Chroxic.

[alfredofreak]

You're welcome. Also, you might have to enable HTTP downloading instead of the default torrent downloading that takes place inside MTX.

File -> Options -> Network -> http (web) experimental

[Eckerson]

The torrent downloading worked pretty well for me once I wasn't trying to download both games at the same time.

But I wish I had seen the HTTP download, probably would have gone faster. Good tip!
