  • Yeah seriously where's the mod I've been waiting years for? Can I at least get a confirmation that they're still working on it or if they scrapped it.

  • > browses comments to see what people think of MekTek

    > find some bizarre Taliban debate

  • Comment removed

  • Hell yeah i hate them taliban bastards, i lost family during the attack on the US, so i have every right to, so no i wont fuck off, and you can go get raped by taliban if you dont like it

  • @BooFish117 I used to be patriotic like you, then my family took a 747 to the knee

  • @TootMaimington Low blow man low blow.

  • @TootMaimington You're disgusting.

  • Dont get it, and dont support Mektek they hate the US, they want the taliban to win the war on terror i am TheRisingStar, they banned me for supporting my troops SCREW YOU MEKTEK!

  • @BooFish117 Your form of support was hateful, fuck off.

  • @BooFish117 You fucking scum. They are American for the most part. This must be some fucking sick joke, because my dad has fought over there and he almost was killed. I hope you fucking rot in hell, you piece of cowardly shit.

  • How long ago was this?

    It's Awesome, I can't believe I missed this... I need to get on MekTek forums more :P

  • if you played mechcommander gold, you would b very unhappy with the turkina at 1:40 :( It's just not true to the literature..

  • Eh. Not impressed, it's way too arcadish for me. Nice work modding the game though.

  • Mektek time is worse than Valve time.

    Do not hold expectations, they are all very busy doing other more productive things.

  • love the gauss cannon snipe at the end of the video.

  • I was just on the Mektek forums, and one of the administrators said that MP4 will be out this month or in November.

  • The current updates I have seen from this video that have sofar been implemented are the Batttle Cobra; Linebacker and the Turkina which was renamed the Talos.

    However I am confident it will come out soon, because MTX servers are almost always down, and their downloads page is down for maintenance.

    I'm looking forward to the Champion because ive seen its file when i was file diving in the mechwarrior 2 foldier but i've only ever seen a picture on bt wiki

  • @MoonlightWolfSpore The Talos doesn't look anything like the Turkina. That's like saying the Annihilator is the Turkina. Sure, they both have shoulder mounts and dual barreled arms, but they certainly aren't the same mech. The Turkina definitely isn't implemented yet.

    As for the MTX servers being down, they're ALWAYS down. Again, you're drawing parallels when there are none. Just because the sky is still blue doesn't mean it's falling. Mekpak 4 is NEVER coming out.

  • @Maniac742 !Warning Geeky Comment! Actually the sky is falling. Clouds weigh a few million tons at the lightest. They just have such a large surface area that they fall at a few metres per second. Only slightly faster than an inflated baloon. This is so slow that they will disipate long before they have fallen even a mile. And at a few thousand feet, 'several miles' above the ground already we never notice.

    But i took a closer look at the Turkina and yes it is different from the Talos.

  • i've had the same problem with MTX for the longest time. for a while i suspected they gave up or something. sure, they may be taking a long time, but as long as they do it all well i have no complaints. ESPECIALLY since, if i'm not mistaken, nobody gets paid for this.

    i hope they put the original orion in. i miss mine from mw3.

  • i wonder if MekPak 4 is coming out in the next few days, since i cant seem to get MTX to work, it keeps auto-entering Offline Mode and the Mektek site has its Downloads section "down for reconfiguration"

  • Lets Play MechWarrior:Living Legends :D

  • I wish they would drop that AT1:BT project. I honestly do not see why I should play that over Mechwarrior 2.

  • @MasterExploder61 I don't see why I should play it over Mechwarrior 2 or 4. The AT1:BT project is a buggy, messy, total waste of time.

  • I'm with snarzellor..

    If they want us to support them so badly, and help them buy server systems and such, they have to give us something back, I've largely ignored mechwarrior 4 for the last two years because I've been awaiting MP 4 and still hasn't come out..it's not a new game we're talking about here it's some new maps a bit of new functionality, the development cycle doesn't match an update...

    I also think the JJ system doesn't fit and isn't what BT is about other then for LAMS..

  • It's been almost 2 years since this video and all we have seen is 2 of the mechs and a small portion of the new features. No Turkina, no directional jump jets, very little of what we were promised. I am rather disappointed in Mektek with them releasing MP4 so slowly.

    I guess they would rather sell T-shirts so they can build server farms and work on Crysis mods rather than bother to put out updates or fix MTX problems.

  • @Snarzellor You obviously don't browse the MekTek forums, nor are you arware of some of what's happened... one of the main programmer's had his house burn down about 3 months ago. Previous to that, Jeho[who's house burned down] had made a call to slowly trickle the features to the community, since there was backlash, expect a full MekPack 4 by october, possibly november, but honestly, you should be ashamed of your selfishness.

  • @wamat his house burned down? hell! didnt anyone tell him that testing a plasma cannon indoors is a bad idea :P

  • @wamat He's wrong but I wouldn't call him selfish.

  • @wamat It's December now, so where is it?

  • @wamat correction: ashamed of his ignorance - not selfishness.

  • @wamat It's February now, is the mod dead or something?

  • @Snarzellor That crysis mod is possibly the most impressive modding feat of the last 5 years id rather they work on that... if they were actually working on it. They arent, its a separate team and nothing to do with mektek.

  • Wow! TURKINA! Nice!

  • This isnt coming out is this

  • The flying around wasp is completely retarded. I would have given it 5/5 if it wasnt for that piece of crap....

  • Does this mean that there will be Phoenix Hawk's?

  • whens it come out?

  • How do i download this mekpak 4 i can't find it anywhere!

  • @suzukirms It's not been released yet.

  • God Job guys!

    Yeah...a Champion! I remember. It's from MechWarrior 3.

    At the first time i saw the the damn ugly Hatamoto Chi in MechWarrior 2 "Ghost Bears Legacy". The former was already ugly.

  • Those are LRMs, not SRMs

  • The Champion isn't new... And the Linebacker looks like a EXACT rip-off of a Vulture without Missiles.

  • @Pupwiz The linebacker has been around long before the vulture. The vulture is based on the clan Mad-dog which became available in the the 3055 TRO, while the linebacker has been around well before 3055.

  • @obliviousfafnir01 The Vulture appeared in TRO 3050, the Linebacker appeared in TRO3055, you can check Sarna.net if you have any questions.

  • @Wraithcannon *shrug* I stand corrected.

  • What is the name of the music playing at 0:10

  • I respect the guys that did it but at the same time I have to say that I am dissapointed.

    Most of the Mech's look like anime ripoff's,the new jetpack system seems to be shitty and unrealistic,the new maps aren't really much.. The only good thing is probably the self-damage system (if you run at high speeds for too much you can blow your legs out or whatever).

  • @TheDailyChatter Anime...HA!

    In your dreams, bro.

  • Those guys do a tremendous work! Great respect for that! I do what I can to make Battletech and Mechwarrior universe gain at least some of it's previous old fame, and so should you! :D

  • Fuckin' Awesome!

  • Badass. Man, I love everything Mektek does with Mechwarrior 4. Especially the new 'Mechs.

  • Damn I miss this game so much! Downloading it now as we speak! The one Mech I miss the most of all is the Warhawk from MW2 which has failed to appear since :(. Oh well cant have it all... THANKS FOR KEEPING IT ALIVE MEKTEK!!

  • @xradeon360 You can find the the Warhawk on the retail version of the first expansion packs for Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries (and will also run on Vengeance and Black Knight Mechwarrior expansions). Look for the the Clan Mech Pak which will allow you to play with the Warhawk (Masakari), the Cauldron-Born, the Arctic Wolf and the Kodiak. There's an Inner Spere Mek Pack also that will allow you to play with the Zues, the Highlander, The Dragon and the Hunchback. Look on eBay but they are sadly rare

  • @xradeon360 Is the other name for it Masakari? It's in there!!

  • hm can this even work on win7 ? or vista?

  • Has this mekpak been released yet? Psyched for directional jumpjets and dropship battles!

  • i also have to agree that the giant flying mechs are retarded. i guess if we wanted this, we could play armored core.

  • @llilium I think only smaller mechs can have the djj

  • its pretty awesome for a game thats nearly 10 years ols to still have such a badass community and support that keeps a game like this feeling new.

  • I agree with KodiakJorgensson: Jump Jets are for jumping, not flying.  Also, it's totally unrealistic for a Wasp to solo a DropShip!

  • @AmateurEmale Unrealistic for a wasp to solo a Dropship? I get what you're trying to say but a Wasp is unrealistic in general.

  • when is it coming out? its already 2010 :(

  • @orkkilla5589 its already out. go to mektek.net

  • GOD!!!!! why the frigg dosnt mektek download!?!?!?!?

  • Are there no "Phoenix Hawk" and "Wolverine"?

  • What would be a sweet addition would be permanent destroyed mech "bodies" in multi and singleplayer, and that big mechs knock down smaller mechs by ramming them, and destroy them by stomping them like tanks

  • I've hunted all over MekTek for this thing and always seem to be turning up short. Is this even out yet? D:

  • HOW THE FUCK AM I SPOSED TO USE MTX? *RAAAAAAAAGGEEEE*

  • The design of the Linebacker reminds me of the Dreadnought from Warhammer 40,000. Hmmmm.

  • Good Idiea, isn't it?

  • And one more thing, could exist more 5 new campaigns, 1° Star League Era, 2° The CLAN invasion, 3° The CLAN Invasion (being the Inner Sphere Mechwarriors), 4° The CLAN Inside War (CLAN vs. CLAN) and 5° Chaos March (Every One Vs. Everyone). In the Campaign could have to each pilot choose the Faction that he/she will fight. Like Me, I am an CLAN Wolf MechWarrior, and in the Inner Sphere FedCom War I am an Federated Suns MechWarriror, and in the Star League. I am an Star League MechWarrior.

  • I will love to play this version of MekPak! I am brazilian and my true name is Arthur, in multiplayer mode my name is Ryon D. Dresari or Ryon Davion D.

    Now I will be the Ryon D. D. K.

    I hope to all MechWarrior Players enjoy this, I am trying to teach to play, until now just me and my friend play, his name on the MechWarrior is Luke Demon.

  • I have question... why is the HUD still low-res? It looks like MW2 even on 1920*1080. :((((

    But still thanx for your work:)

  • "SRMs????????????"

    okeeeeeeeyyyyy...

  • @Sabohaque I know those are LRM's lmao

  • damn it, i cant find this stuff anywhere, any place to download that pack?

  • @thogz777 mektek.net

  • also ive heard of walking tanks but not planes........

  • say if a peson were to cheat while playing would the masc still blow off the leg of firemoth at full speed?

  • How does the wasp stay in the air so long without transforming into aerodynamic mode?

    If I throw jump jets on an assault mech, is it going to fly around all day too?

  • I love mektek! I can't wait for it to come out!!!!!!!!!

  • anyone figure out how to get rid of the dam black smudges?

  • is the high definition patch coming out on mtx sometime

  • Has this come out yet?

  • Looks cooool, going for MTX

    

  • he called the lrms srms lol.

  • If you go to mektek.org and read the forums its says plane as day that this is never to be released if iim rong please correct me but im not.....

  • turkina looks great, i have a massive problem trying to download MekPak 4.

    you know how your supposed to download mekpak302a(pr1).wnp and patch it using the WPApply. your supposed to fill the top blank with the mekpak302a(pr1).wnp and fill the bottom black with the game right? well it is not letting me do it. im not very computer savvy HELP!!!

  • How did this video have such great graphics? I set mine to Ultra high after installing, and even set my screen ratio, but it's stock on the 800x600 res and refuses to stretch, and the graphics remain fairly poor...

  • oh yeah... the crusader...

  • what map is the one with the wasp dodging lrm

  • Should put some heavy metal music to this video too, but anyhow great vid :)

  • i dont like a free floating reticle then you have to pay attention to two reticles, one for arms others for torso weapons D:

    still looks great cant wait!

  • What about us that can't use MTX? How will we get it?

  • word is that this will be released in parts as updates. This will be done to continuously evolve mp3. This will keep the game flowing smoothly with lots of new fun.

  • Flying battle armor: I AM IRON MAN

  • when it comes out????!!!!!!

  • Little disappointed that there are only 10 new mechs in this pack compared to the overwhelming number MP3 gave us. Anyways, looked like they only showed 9 mechs, for some reason, I bet the 10th mech is going to be the Grand Titan.

    Anyways, as an amateur programmer, looked like you put a lot of work into this so far, and I hope MP4 would help eliminate the overpowered sniper methods in multiplayer, which was not fun. Definitely looking forward to it.

  • hey uhhh can t5he wasp only FLY in this mekpak

  • I wonder how those Unseen mechs made it into a mechwarrior expansion. the Marauder, Wasp, and Goshawk are all Macross related (well, maybe not the goshawk).

  • thanks to that WASP, we will now have mechs initiating Gundam-esque missile dodges.

  • its released and you can downloaded via mtx

  • Let's hope MekTek gets a better ISP before they release this :)

  • DUDE, Jark, you're totally from the Maritimes hey? I can hear the accent!

  • Directional jump-jets were SO much fun in MW2, although I hope you've disabled jump jet sliding while standing on the ground.

    Alternate gravity is really fun.

    Free-floating cursors...well they give me a disadvantage as a keyboard-user, but I'll try to adapt to them.

    Moving, shooting dropships: AWESOME.

    Lol I just realized, every feature I really want was in Mechwarrior 2. You guys should redo the MW2 map "Sky Pillar" where you had to race to the top of that ridiculously huge tower :D

  • I might have to go and find my old MW4 Mercs disks....is it released yet?

  • @DavionColdawg Mechwarrior 4 is now a freeware game, you can simply download it.

  • @Usersunited Are you talking about on MTX? I just downloaded a torrent that had Mercenaries in it and got quite far, but wanted to install the MekPaks. Do I have to download Mercenaries all over again through MTX to have them?

  • @Usersunited You wont be able to play yet though. MekTek are handling the official free release, they're just sorting out last minute checks to ensure the download and install proccess runs smoothly. The game+mekpak file is available for download but it will require a CD to play (mounted ISOs wont work with the mekpak files). When the release is go for launch, mektek will release an update to the game file through MTX and the CD requirement will be removed.

  • um , hey you know the mechwarrior 4 mercenaries download on MTX?

    does it actually work?

  • Harmony Gold didn't give you any crap did they?

  • @starsiegeplayer They can't thank god! Because they aren't doing it for profit... I think... anyway... 3:50 THOSE ARE SOME "LONG RANGE" SRMs!!! lol

  • @Wulfex I think he mixed up SRMs for LRMS (specially since SRMs don't track)

  • @SilvaDreams well Streaks sort of do... lol just not that far! XD

  • @Wulfex Touche` I sometimes forget they introduces Streak SRMs

  • dude that turkina looks like it could kick some ass really fast! :O

  • YES, free floating reticule. Something the original release sorely lacked. I always thought it was lame how all the weapons were fixed and you had to aim with your torso. Very glad that this key feature is back, why it was left out in the first place, i'm not really sure...

  • While yes, a free floating Reticule is nice... and was quite useful in MW3... CBT[classic BattleTech] doesn't really incorperate that... so if you're trying to get things closer to CBT, then the torso thing is fine.

  • Hey fair enough, it just makes more sense to me that a Mech should be able to train it's guns seperately from the torso if need arise.

  • When is mekpak 4 do to be releaed?

  • i'm dying for this :(

  • Is MW4 going to ever be released for free?

    I heard it was "soon" to be released like nearly a year ago...

  • wow i like the crusader

  • that pretty new reboot game cant come out fast enough i hate playing call of retard

  • Also, I love the way the rules list on the official MekTek forums still state, I quote "Don't even bother asking about a MekPak 4 (MP4)! We are not doing one"

  • Not anymore.

  • when do they release the MW4 free?

  • they said soon

    but is vaporware now

  • Not vaporware, but they're apparently having legal issues.

  • Never even knew there was a Mech Pak 3. It's been soo long since I played MW. Looks like fun!

  • So when does this come out anyway?

  • champion! huzzah! ^^_

  • is this being released on MTX? I cant find any downloads off the internet, so I'm guessing it is... is it?! I want THIIIIS! XD

  • This has not been released yet. Once it will be released, it is most likely on MTX.

  • ah HA! thanks m8. I knew something was wrong... now i get it

  • forgive me if this is a stupid question, but what exactly is MTX? ive seen the initials or whatever on the forums when i was lookin for download links for the latest MekPak 3 patch, but i never actually looked into it

    btw im looking forward to when MekTek releases the Digital Download of MW4/BK/Mercs, im hoping it includes the Clan and IS Mech Paks, i got a few friends that say theyd download it if it had the Clan and IS Paks lol

  • @Jarkkokarkko hey jarkko i have a question. when this mp is released can this be used in vista

  • @59n1tr0n72 they said that MP4 is pretty much canceled, but mechs and peices that were part of it will be added over time thru MTX.

  • @59n1tr0n72 this was released a little while back it can be downloaded

  • @thedoctor42209 When?  Where?

  • Wow! HATAMATO-CHI!

    Awesome!!

  • Not sure why it has a sword, though. Not familiar with it having a variant that carries one. Still, cool.

  • Those look like LRMs and not SRMs...

  • WHERE IS THE JUPITER THE TURKINA'S PARTNER!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? MEEEEEELEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEE!!!!!! why why they dont listen de people... melee please -.- Hatchman!!, Mjolnir!!!! god -.-

  • I can imagine that's probably very hard to implement, even compared to everything they've done already. I mean, it would be awesome, just likely impractical without completely rewriting the game engine.

  • its called jump jet for a reason... IT JUMPS not fly

  • That would also depend on the gravity.

  • yeah, and gravity isnt an issue in MW4 like it was in MW2

  • @Jarkkokarkko also those were lrms not srms learn ur weaponz!!! :3

  • Glory 2 mek tek team!!!!!!

  • Look, it isn't Gundam. In the history of Battletech there have been many melee capable mechs. Hatchetman for example - actually carried a fucking hatchet. Even in the old top-down Battletech PC game you could do melee assaults with your mech if you were close enough.

  • Do the arms actually move along with the free floating reticule? I mean not just 90 degrees like they do when you look left or right,

  • You do know that Battlemechs have the ability to aim with their arms, right? Hence the free floating reticle. I get the feeling you are a stravag :P

    I am glad they are finally incorperating this along with the directional jumpjets into Mechwarrior. It will be like old times again! None of that half assed microsoft tash. Excellent job MekTek

  • Comment removed

  • "Free reticle make this game look like a console game"

    Are you serious? It always had free reticle aiming.

  • I'm really hoping they balanced out the weaponry. MP3 wasn't a fun experience on multiplayer when everybody was either using Behemoths, Wildcats, or Supernovas.

    PS. I'm not digging the high altitude jump jets, directional is cool, but...

  • Plz tell me the wasp almost flying was just done to showcase the directional jump jets feature, if it stays in the air that long during actual gameplay might as well start adding gundams to the game

  • Finally a free floating reticule mod! This is gunna be badass!

  • hate the disco/techno-lite music. is that a melee mec i see? seriously.. who would use it when sniper configs are so popular, with or w/o jumpjets.

  • You would maybe hate it more w/o music. 'Mechs used here are just to present the features - not to present the most viable battlefield config.

  • i guess those swords and maybe axes won't be shooting lightning or "air slashes" eh?

  • the old battletech world use to have melee mechs like Hatchman and some others.

  • sure, .man. just like gundam-G. *cackle

  • Amusing attempt at sounding knowledgeable, but ending up being just another ass. Melee weapons in BattleTech cause damage purely by physical impact. The myomer muscles produce the force, the blades supply the cutting edge. Nothing fancy. There's one 'Mech that was used in the FedCom Civil War books called the Berzerker, a 100 ton behemoth that wields a massive cleaver. It has MASC to give it the speed to close in and 18 tons of armor, ECM, and AMS to extend its survivability.

  • @rebelanarch Because not everyone hill humps on NHUA servers? Close range weapons are widely used on brawler mechs.
