Huzzah! MekTek finally gets the legal go-ahead from Microsoft for the free MechWarrior 4 release. Took M$ long enough, rumor has it they almost ruined MekTek by just sitting on this.

Not sure. I think all the work is done, they were just trying to clear legal hurdles. I would imagine it would be out in a couple of months. I'll definitely post when it is released.

And it's out.

Or, at least I think so. MekTek's servers are getting hammered, so you might want to wait a few days.

They should have done it over a torrent as well.

Re: Battletech nerds rejoice? Mechwarrior 5 being worked on?
I think there are a few torrents up for it. Their installer is basically a torrent system anyway, or I was led to believe.
Re: Battletech nerds rejoice? Mechwarrior 5 being worked on?
Urgh, I am really not happy. There is a ton of Spyware/Virus plants all over google search.
However, I found a mirror download to the torrent on another forum. Hopefully, it is all safe.
To use the file, you rename the MTX extention to .zip and unzip it.
Edit: There seems to be patches and other things. Perhaps it is best to wait till everything is sorted.

I'll get it later.
I just hope gog.com will get to release the older Mechwarrior games, notably Mechwarrior 2 with Ghost Bear Legacy. And also the Heavy Gear ones.
