@@Beast8383 I hate this cluttered HUD, mechs walking animations are really bad, I play campaigns so I am not interested in multiplayer, especially I dont play multiplayer on big open maps with barely 6 players at best. Like the concept, apreciate passion put into this by people responsible but I preffer my old good MW4.
Growing up playing this game I had a huge thing for the gauss rifles. Argus? Heavy gauss. Shadowcat and bushwacker? regular gauss. daishi? double the gauss with lrm 20s and 8 med lasers. I had so much fun with that in the arena and having 2 lances with that setup was a spectacle to watch them fly around or just delete enemies. Never had a problem with ammo.....
My goodness I thought this game was dead. I played the daylight out of this back in the day, and MW4 Vengeance and Black Knight too. Many thanks for making the video! Is there any chance that you can tell me where to access the data for installing this on my PC? I'd be grateful BIG TIME.
Too think, back in the day i asked myself if we'd one day build things like that... Some 24/5 years later and I know that we can and have in some cases. Not military mechs but there are people who've build operational mechs.

Spend 150+ hrs on MW5 already. Prob double that in MW4 and replays. Never got old.

Hi 👋 do you have a link to get this version of the game? I’m currently running a modified version and I want to go back to the OG mektek version like this.
This is not OG MekTek, but also modded version with hi-res skins and textures. I had this distributive for ages on my hard drive, and I don't even remember where I get it. If you want original MekTek 3.1 install files, you can find a google drive link in the description of Shivaxi's MW4 Mercenaries Let's Play video.
@@Scorch0017 thanks for the reply, yeah I worded that badly, but thanks for the clarity, it’s a big ask but would you be able to upload your version of the game to a google drive or something for us? Cause I don’t think many of us have a HD mektek version of the game that you played.
@@rentsy3444 You can do the missions in any order but in the end it's just a limited number of linear missions. Prefering procedural open ended campaigning. No BT game really does this.
@@HelmutKohlrabi Isn't that pretty much what both MW5 and HBS BT do? They each have a story but you can also just do endless procedural missions for all eternity. I personally greatly prefer the care and variety of crafted missions like this game has. The missions are just so much more interesting to me even if they're linear and limited.
@@ElecManEXE well you eventually run out of those. Procedural story campaigns with proper rewards would've been nice. Right now MW5's only fun in co-op. HBS BT suffers from the same lack of content for a long term investment. At some point you'll have all the best things acquired. Certain mods or settings may prolong this, both games become very boring to play fairly soonish. There's just not enough variety in the things you can do.
@@HelmutKohlrabi You have to understand that "procedurally generated" actually means "left it up to meaningless randomness instead of being purposefully designed", do you genuinely prefer meaningless randomly generated content over meaningful and purposeful design?
Spectre's voice acting is awful, he doesn't convey any emotion, always speaking monotonously even in the heat of battle, this bad actor ruins the immersion! 😫
He actually does some times, especially when he is mad which was apparent in one of the missions where there was no pay however imagine if you're a leader of a platoon you want to keep the moral of your soldiers high even during the most brutal moments, some times emotions may slip and this fits Specter's character
@@Yua-rk1lo You are either partial either stupid if you genuinely believe Specter's voice-actor has any personality at all and that a leader without any charisma has any chance to keep his troops' moral high so which is it? Is it your love for this game which drives you to ignore and even defend its flaws like a blind fanatic or are you actually blind to begin with? As for the charity work that you mentioned, I assume that you meant the Styk Evacuation contract during which he expresses as much emotion as during every other contract, that is to say: none at all, zero, nada, null, void. As much as you love this game, there is no point in denying its flaws and no one could possibly defend Specter's voice-actor who was an awful mistake from the publisher who utterly ruined Specter's character because he always speaks as if he was presenting a culinary show no matter the situation, he is one of the worst voice-actors that any publisher has ever been foolish enough to hire and your love for the character that he voices cannot salvage his mediocre and offending performance, the sooner you accept this reality and the sooner you can learn to adapt to it instead of denying it without changing it, you understand?
@@Yua-rk1lo Sigh, UA-cam hided my answer to you so you have to sort by comments first in order to reveal all hidden comments from the default "top comments" sorting which is actually a censorship filter which hides comments that UA-cam's bots dislike for reasons that no one understands then you can read my answer to you.
While I appreciated your playlist, I disliked this walkthrough because you played a character inconsistent with the lore since you chose House Davion over House Steiner and yet you played dirty and therefore you disgraced the noble House Davion, you should have kept your infamy for the infamous House Steiner which would have been more consistent and in character, I make no compromise with lore and I forgive no inconsistency, which is why while I loved Vengeance, I disliked and boycotted its Black Knight extension entirely and why I disliked this walkthrough here. 👎 I wouldn't have minded if you played dirty for House Steiner because it would have been consistent with their infamy however I don't forgive your inconsistency to play dirty for the noble House Davion because you disgraced them and you broke immersion into the lore as House Davion would never hire a dirty mercenary, you ruined this walkthrough.
I love when you take the time to really immerse yourself, like when you read the news or let Duncan Fisher finish his little tangents. Really Cool
ahh the best game of the ages

This was the first video game I ever remember playing as a 5 year old in my Uncles basement in 2002. The nostalgia 😭
This game was amazing! I remmeber being like...11, and playing the Hell out of this. Need to get it working on my Steam Deck.
Very enjoyable watch. I used to play this game to death back in the day. Only beat it once, but I spent most of my time in instant action.
Mechwarrior4 is the best MW for me.
Totally agree on that.
Try the MWLL
