Hi solarmech, if you’re still out there 9and all the rest of the crew) … I can play nice and not poke the bear as long as you can refrain from jabbing me in the eye with a stick. Jehosephat2k from what I knew did the lion’s share, and I have heard he had a stroke, but I have no knowledge about how he is after that?… as if losing his family dog and computer to a house fire started by a stupid dryer wasn’t bad enough) … Also, if it really is the old team, they’ve got some cleanup to do regarding a certain section of moddb dumping the tools out as public downloads.īe neat to have the old stomping grounds back up, even better if the forum archives were restored. That said, I wonder who will be bringing the site up and if they’re going to be doing coding/etc I have to wonder who’ll be doing it. Mekpak 5 would be a rather odd way to version name, the last one I recall testing on was mekpak 4 and it never saw the light of day release wise.

They did distribute the game legit and sans the DRM. I’m not sure if the guys ever actually “had the rights” in the usual sense one thinks of when they hear that phrase. If you can’t accept that reality, that’s your problem, and slinging around insults doesn’t put a dent in anything I’ve written so far. Now it falls to the community to fix what PGI couldn’t be bothered not to make properly in the first place. The only thing that going to make that game even tolerable by the time it’s released on Steam is the modding community, because PGI has taken their last kick at the can and whiffed…badly. Shall I go on? MW5 is an objective loser of a game. Bad NPC spawns terrible AI paper-mache environments with no real sense of proper scale no radar no ability to command your squadmates in any useful way a UI that is a step backwards from MWO improperly balanced weapons (spitball ACs, I’m looking at you), repetitive missions bad voice acting a forgettable campaign and grind, grind, grind. MekPak 5 is due sometime later this year.ĥ.1 rated user reviews, and nearly double the amount of negative reviews as positive one, and just as as many negative reviews and positive and mediocre combined is not what I would call “otherwise good”. My sources (and by that I mean me lurking in Discord) tells me that MekTek even plans for yet another MekPak expansion for MW4: Mercs. Now if you’ve got a working copy of MechWarrior 4: Mercs you can take your big stompy robots into battle online once again. Just a few days ago, another post on Reddit (and in the MekTek Discord) announced the return of MekMatch. The scuttlebutt is that they plan on bringing MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries back from the dead, updating it to work on modern hardware, and re-establishing MekMatch to give the game multiplayer capabilities. I’ve been lurking there for a little while trying to see what’s going on, and from what I can tell, MekTek has big plans. Not a word on the MekTek Facebook, LinkedIn, or official website.īut now, all of a sudden, MekTek has returned.Ībout a month ago, a Reddit post announced the return of the MekTek Discord server. Heavy Gear Assault stopped receiving updates in August of 2017. I’ve never played it, but the Steam reviews are mostly negative saying that the game’s servers have shut down and you can’t actually log in or create an account. Called Heavy Gear Assault, the game was released on Steam Early Access way back in February of 2017.

You can’t download it for free now, and even if you could, getting it to work on a modern PC is a bit of a technical nightmare.Īfter MechWarrior 4 had run its course, MekTek moved away from the BattleTech franchise to make a stand-alone game using the Heavy Gear license. Their second great accomplishment was acquiring the rights to MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries and then freely distributing it on their website. I loved that thing, even if it wasn’t a “cannon” design. These greatly expanded the number of ‘Mechs you could pilot in the game, and some of my fondest memories in MechWarrior 4‘s Solaris matches was me running around in a Tenchi.

Their first great accomplishment was the MekPaks, a series of unofficial expansion to MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries. For those who weren’t as big into MechWarrior 4 as I was, MekTek is a collective of MechWarrior fans that got together to make their own development studio.
