  • Hey, if anyone wants to join, there's a Wiki about Metal Fatigue. People with good knowledge for the story and lore would be useful.

  • I love this game.

  • I can't help but notice some odd similarities in the story of the more recent game Supreme Commander and this. I'm not saying that game ripped this one off, but I kinda like the character-based story that this presents more than the vague-idea based conflict presented in the Supreme Commander intro vid.

  • This game was the best!

    

  • they should make a movie, more games, and a toyline

  • @PiperMMMMMMMMMM Dude, I would totally buy an authentic Stefan Angelus combot action figure with kung-fu grip..

  • where RobTheJungleRat???

    show me a picture

  • looooooooool

  • Why isn't there a second?

    

  • i haven't played this game in years. until 2 days ago i found it in my closet and i stared playing it again.

  • REMAKE. :( do something daummit i wanna play this game again. lets make a huge paper and everybody mail to eachother and then sign and send it,,, then we play :)

  • seriously imo, this game is way better than mech 1, 2 or warzone. Gameplay and graphics are like top-notch at that time, its totally on par with starcraft. Anyway i m wondering, if i recreate this game, would i actually get sued for copyright infringement even if i dont really use the name or model from this game? I mean i read what toddpickens posted, its like finding the copyright to this game is totally impossible.

  • I remember it was SO fun to find new pieces/arms

  • can some one help me? i have vista (i know a piece of shit) and im trying to play this game and everything works fin with installing and what not but whats its all done i click the new campiagn and its starts but it just shows the screen with the units not thier actions or whatever you call it i really need help i love this game and i really want to play it again :(

  • I still play this, MechCommander 1 and 2 and Warzone 2100. Three of the best strategy games out there and shame Command and Conquer!

  • This brings back memories.

    I really wish someone would make a remake of this epic game.

    The trailer is still awesome!

  • psygnosis was bought long time ago, but they made a game which was way over the commun on the hole plannet noone had such game, cuz its so fucking awsome 10 years later and its the best i ever saw, WE SHOULD MAKE A PAPER OR SOMETHING TO ASK TO CODEMASTERS TO REBUILD IT! codemasters has an awsome view, and Milions assignatures asking to rebuild it i think it would work!

  • Wow, that's like the first game I really nerded :D

  • I think that i will make a tribute video now..

  • IMHO possibly the greatest all round game I have played in over 25 years of game playing.

    I pray nightly that someone somewhere will do a sequel taking off from when the Hedoth enter at the end.

    I dont see it ever happening but I keep my fingers crossed.

  • @Cobra334 So do i. This awesome game needs a sequel. With better Graphics, and more Combot Parts.

  • I bought Metal Fatigue in a video game stand in Menards in 2004 I think. I remember thinking, "best birthday present ever!'

  • That arm must have caused 10000/10000 damage in order to kill the alien in one hit

  • This game need to come back is there anyway to find out who owns the rights to this game?

  • any mf games for sale!!!!

  • New idiom in my dictionary for making the biggest mmistake ever: Selling the rights for MF2 without making a sequel!!! :D

  • oh my GOD

    i just nostalgia'd, Hard

  • I think some french company created this game.

  • this must be the game intro ive seen the must hands down

  • wish they would bring out a second one. this was AWEASOME!!!

  • Here's to one of the best games ever made. Cheers!

  • What if Metal Fatigue in some wierd way is true? That this stuff will happen? Then humanity would be soooo screwed.

  • is there free download anywhere pls reply i never got to finish this!

  • DAM.... i rem this, CLASSIC. What happened to this game and WARZONE 2100. Why were these classics never remade?.

  • I just found out that i have Metal Fatigue on my dad's computer! I was only two years old when the game was released, lol.

  • which is the best corporation i am with mylagro love that fire power

  • When you meet an alien combot in the game, if you can defeat it and research its arms, you KICK ASS

  • another good old games that extinct..... a good gameplay, story line, and something that different. i wish some company will remake and revive all this old games... even though the graphic is not as good as the latest games but most of this old games their gameplay are superb.....

  • maybe not the best game ever, but a VERY underrated rts classic, the graphics were great, the startegy was great and the gameplay was great, for a mech-based <rts game

  • I miss this game =[

  • i play this when i was 11 or somthing now i look back to it it has a pretty good story!!!!

  • one of the best game i have ever played. i hate to hear that part 2 is not gonna come out =[

  • It's definitely the best Game ever ever ever made!

    I think no other strategy game which is as good as that.

    But they all had an second part, but not this one :P

    I played this game for c.a. 10 years (xD) and i still playing against my father, who loves this game too :D

    Why, can it be that a good Game like that has no second part? :(

  • best rts game ever to this date, good work toddpickens and drangboon

  • T_T where can i download this game again? miss it so much Best Game ever played!

  • Comment removed

  • One of the things they got right about the future in this game was 'CorpoNations'.

    Of the 10 largest 'economies' (I e property, assets and cash access), 7 are now Corporations and only 3 are Countries.

    If you think your Government runs things - you are every mistaken. These game makers saw that.....

  • Superb !!

  • close to a build-your-own-gundam rts as you can get without going into actual gundam

  • great game

  • Use GameRanger for online play. It's a great program. :O And it supports Metal Fatigue and alot of other network defunct games, like Age of Wonders.

  • I'm making a game that's inspired by this forgotten classic :D

    I just need more people, but that's for later on :I

  • it's one of the best games I ever played !

    After I see this intro again, i need to play it again!

    is there a download link to this game?

    My original is LOST, and its nowhere to buy :<

  • One of these days, I'll load this up again.... this is my oldest favourite game.... damn the nostalgia is killing me.

  • Neuropa FTW!!!

    If anyone knows an internet cafe/gaming room thing that has this game thats up in Scotland give me a buzz, or if you know how to get this game working properly and how to do multiplayer online I'll gladly give you a game.

  • Wow I remember playing this game right when it came out.

  • Epiiic

  • i still play this game :D some times on lans ^^

  • MilAgro rules!

  • Go RimTech!

  • any idea where i can download it ? :D

  • PM me, I'll give you a WORKING link.

  • This game is awesome, brings back memories.. they need to make a sequal, i loved the robot building aspect, allowed for so many dffferent tactics

  • they went out of business, they cant make a sequel.

  • one of the best old games...i wish me this game will remaked!!!

    5/5 and favo!

    ~Snow

  • @SnowVillier

    I'd like to see it. Or at least a spiritual successor.

  • This game is amazing! XD

    There is the next of this game??? Or a similar?

  • I love this game.

  • If there was a fallout 2 and fallout 3, which are 10 years apart, then there can be a sequel for this game. If only the marketing wasn't a fail, and this would get by someone in the gaming industry.

  • thing is, the company that made this game got taken over just after developing and releasing this game. Which firstly means that not many copies of this game exist compared to most other games, and secondly, that pegnosis probs still own the rights so if another company had to buy them out then there would be less profit in it for them

  • Zono got taken over. Psygnosis was snuffed.

    To me this is the defining game of the RTS genre. If anyone else feels that way, there is always hope.  Maybe "unofficial sequels" would be it's only future, but that means it will continue in spirit. I'm just speculating. Think of it, though, new units, new factions, new allegiances, I used to imagine what kind of game it would be.

  • Man, how did I miss this one? Looks very cool! And that womans voice sounds very familiar? Where have I heard the narrators voice before?? Colony Wars perhapes?

  • halo prophet/hologram woman?

  • If anyone knows, I BEG you to help. How can I get this game? I don't believe my copy works anymore. If someone could direct me to a download...

  • what an magnific game

  • i lost my copy of this.

    this is one underrated game that needs a lots of love.

  • Hey dudes we should all rally together and march onto the company that bought up the company that made metal fatigue(which was talonsoft) good idea right? errr i forgot which company bought up talonsoft anyone here remember? let me know. kthnx

  • id like to take a crack at remaking the game, just cant use anything copyrighted and id need the graphics engine used for the game =/

    was truly an epic game! wuda been some good competition for blizzard and relic

  • I miss you Metal fatigue... Its so damn bad that there is no project in work about this game... not even fan project. it is really an innovative and timeless game which only lacks in technically ways... A Metal Fatigue 2? A dream...

  • great game...

  • If it wasn't for bad publicity and lax tech support, this game would've flourished. It might have been greater than Starcraft, even. I just wish someone would pick this old gem back up and give it a good polishing...

  • Was a good game...

  • was ? its still an awesome game !

  • The ending SUGGESTS there is gonna be corponation-hedoth war though.GREATEST game ever and BEST ending.Too bad no sequel yet.

  • ironically enough im playing it right now, i tabbed out to look for some music here on youtube and found the intro :)

  • MF one of my favorite games

    i am just sorry for it coz it deserves more.

  • WOW! long time since I have seen this. I was an artist on MF, my first published video game.

    Hate to break it to you guys, but there will not likely ever be an MF2.

    Psygnosis folded as the game was being published and the rights were sold off. Then again and agin, etc.

    No one knows who owns the rights, I have tried to find out several times, but no luck on establishing rights. Glad you guys enjoyed the game.

  • That's a real shame - you guys had something quite solid going with Metal Fatigue. The animation and art style was top-notch for its time, and the game really deserved a lot more recognition.

    Thank you for helping to create something like this, and for giving us another amazing title to remember from that era.

  • It's a shame I didn't get here sooner, Ubisoft owns the rights.

  • Yes but they dropped the idea of using the license... I need to copy my disc cause it is already damaged and can fail in near future but coding is making it difficult...

    Good to know people remember good games which were unlucky - I was suprised to see so much about it on youtube.

  • @Straint ...I recently downloaded this game but i cant seem to read the mounted Cds.

    I remember playing it...i wish it had more to it. Its sad that it will no longer continue.

    Where can we find this game?

  • @Straint

    Yes, the game was really cool.

  • @toddpickens

    you were an artist? I was lead finance manager. I dont remember a toddpickens, but maybe thats not your real name?

    Either way, the rights are unknown to me as well- although I wouldnt be surprised if they were pawned off to some conglomerate like EA, where it's probably sitting in some dorment hard drive never to grace the world again in the same context as the original.

  • @drangboon , yup thats my real name. I wast the environment artist and did most of the art for the Neuropa side. The other artist was Brian Collins. Steve patterson was one of the producers, great guy. It got crazy as Psygnosis shut down, and all sorts of people from the other companies that became involved made put a lot of BS credits in the game for people how hardly touched it, sadly.

    It's great to know that all of our hard work is appreciated by some.

  • @toddpickens how do u know there is no MF2???

  • @toddpickens Do you have any rights to tell more about game creating or about some specific termins like heat-off (?), RimTech, MilAgro and Neuropa?..

  • @LewaNitro , nope I have no rights to the game, my best guess is maybe sony owns it due to acquisitions of other studios, but I doubt whoever owns the rights even realizes it.

  • @toddpickens And no tracks or evidences to find out, I guess? It is very sad to know.

    Anyway, I only wanted to know more about game universe. What happened to Earth, for example?..

    If you had a chance to make a sequel of MF, what would you change?

  • @toddpickens it seriously needs a sequel with some better graphics and mroe combot cusomization :D

  • @toddpickens my best game ever

  • @toddpickens

    If only someone could make a spiritual succesor of this game. I mean using the combot gameplay.

  • @walkerk19 Someone could use the same stuff, just rename the title. And Combots are not a copyrighted name. It has been used over and over again by others that possibly do not know of MF. An example is Tekken 4's Combot. The unit names are not copyrighted i think, and absolutely not the faction names, i searched on Hedoth, Mil-Agro, Rim Tech and Neuropa on Google, and lots of Non-Metal Fatigue stuff came up.

  • @toddpickens I love this game. I still play it but it will not play on Windows 7 x64 so I created a Windows 98 SE virtual machine to play it on. If anyone knows how to get this to play in Windows 7 let me know. This was one of the most overlooked games ever

  • @Legacy05GT Yeah, i have played MF since i was, like, 2, 3 or 4 years old! I was 2 years old when the game was released, and i must thank my uncle for showing me the game. The Metal Fatigue demo was my first ever RTS game.

  • @toddpickens I heard that there were some of the first of Psygnosis working on MF2 o.O just a few of them and not the whole team, but as you said, there probably won't be a sequel to it, shame you guys all don't work on another as another group or something :P

  • this game rockt! i dont know why they dont do a metal fatigue 2!?

  • I still can play it :D

  • This game is grate but i whis it was more tanks in it.

  • this game is really great, i wish that metal fatigue 2 comes out...i would really want that

  • Loved the game, too bad it doesn´t work with Vista.

  • Yep. I still own it. I Keep searching for solutions for MF on Vista every once in a while, hoping something will come up.

  • It isn't working on Vista?

  • No, I tried changing all the settings(running it 95 compatible and such) and nothing works. simply crash into desktop after starting it.

  • From your description I had similar problem on XP. However while it is impossible to make it start after 1st installation, reinstall fixes this problem. It might be also worse cause it happened to me (1 time in 6 system reinstalls) that it wasn't working at all on XP - I had to reinstall windows.

    Sorry for those sentences they are horrible but I don't know how to describe it in different way.

  • shit...

  • Where can i buy this game?

  • Do you know how to get this work on windows vista? i got some kind of graphic problem so i cant see any toolbars and it makes it unplayable.. tell me if theres some kind of fix patch or file for it.

  • the robots are good

  • I still got the working original game that i've bought around 2000. These were the times... I loved to capture the Hedoth combot in one of the multiplayer maps. Mass destruction(at a HUGE price) - you could send 2-3 and destroy someone's entire base along with 20 combots he had in it.

  • yea i started playing it yesterday again, forgot about this game for over 3 years

  • DITTO

  • does anyone still play this??? i love this game but idk if anyone else plays it. i almost lost the 2nd cd once and couldnt find this game ANYWHERE, crazy stuff

  • All the fuctions are good! But I really like to pick up some cool parts and making the ultimate combot.milagro torso (flying) speed boots (neuropa) laser sword hand missile hand ^^A mechanic Rambo :P

  • Rimtech > all!

  • Milagro!

  • Este Juego es la ostia , hace tiempo que no lo juego , alguien sabe de donde bajarlo ? :S

  • Does anyone know where i can download the full game or demo for free? I have the disc but its completely fucked.

  • I still play this game. Love it.

  • Best RTS ever. This one could even rival DoW.

  • this game rulz!!

  • Neuropa for life!

  • Rimtech will wipe you out, Neuropa freak!

  • Im with you brother !

  • I GOTTA have this!

  • You can get this game at Piratebay(dot)org

  • Amasing yet misunderstood game. please remake it please please!!!!

  • I totally agree. Unfortunatly, Psygnosis was bought by Sony so I doubt that we will ever see a remake of this beauty.

  • Yeah I played this at friends house briefly a long time ago. I always wondered why I never heard of it, it seemed like a good game.

  • Well, Psygnosis didn't advertise this game very much. Despite having an opening movie that was beyond belief at the time and good strategy, tiny unfixed glitches combined with the fact that not many people made a hype about this game, it got medium reviews. I think it was way better than the critics gave it credit for, but alas, nothing I could do, I was only nine at the time.

  • Pure ass awesomeness.

  • BEST GAME EVER

  • That looks almost exactly the same as the game Supreme Commander.

  • i want this game but i cant get it =( not for sale in any stores or on net

  • what's the best combot combination?

    for me:

    arms: hammer hand, K- shield

    legs: steady legs

    torso: armor torso

    unbelievable HTH + incredible HP and defense. The ultimate HTH ever (except the alien bot though)

  • my combot combination is:

    torso:self repair

    legs:power pulse

    arms:electro blade

  • nije loše;)upravo proba

  • haha koda te neko kuzi xD

  • pa vidiš da kuži!

  • Lol :D

    try: 2x hammer hand, hth upgrade legs, armor torso. GG no re. (yea, dmg from 2 hammers stack on one hit :d)

  • I use a very well balanced comination(when playing with Rimtech) that is as follows:

    Arms-Energy gun, Armor Fist

    Legs-Missle Legs

    Body-Force Feild

    This combat provides a mix between a well balanced defense, a great range attack, and decent melee. It's not good for getting parts off of enemy combots, however if you're just out to wipe your enemy off the map then two to four of these guys with even just level 2 pilots can be a huge asset.

  • still i think that different parts from different corps are best to combine. (i preffer HTH bots, and flak torso is the best range weapon)

    and- hammer hand is the ultimate hand!

  • Usually I'll try to get a flak torso if I can. If I get a flak torso I put it on some jetboots with the same energy gun hammer hand combination. then, I reinforce those guys with combots that have missle torsos, jetboots, an energy gun, and a lazer sword. It works fairly well. Just three of these guys with a couple of jets and some assistance from orbitalbombs and I was able to wipe Hedoth off of the orbital layer when htey had five platforms and I only had two.

  • where can i get this game

  • I sold and played this game

  • NEUROPA RULES!!!!!

  • no no MilAgro kicks ass!

  • no problem ;) Good luck and enjoy !

  • omg...USE GOOGLE (:

  • the 1 who says Metal_Fatigue_2Disks.rar and you need a download prorgram i guess its BITtorrent....and allso you need winrar and deamontool GOOD LUCK ! ;)

  • NO ONLY 24 HOUERS I DID IT :D

  • this is an amazing game, it just lacks some of the things that make a good RTS, my friend and I are trying to make our own sequel to the game...the only problem is that neither of us know how to make game :)

  • Go to the home of the underdogs (a site for abandonware) and just download the CD-RIP version if you want to. It's just the game without the music. And the music on the original version made it slow and glitchy anyway.
