Mech Merc Company - true to Mech2 clone

[Destroy]

Loved Mechwarrior 2 to 4? This is a much better modern remake than that crap MW5.

It's of course early access, made by one guy that has funding problems and not complete. There is a fully game and campaign mode however.
Assets in menus are missing but the important data and stats are there.

I bought it and it is literally a copy of MW2 nearly all aspects but modernized.

I mean, for the $3 sale it's on, why not? Bought it, may check it out later.

 

[Eisberg]

yeah, for only $3, I went ahead and bought it. Sounds like what is already available is worth at least $3.

 

[xCLAVEx]

Yeah since the Dev "paused development to build more funds", the game is pretty much considered abandoned. I doubt it will resume development, so the $3 is pretty much all it's worth.

Looks neat, kinda visually quite bare though. Hope something good comes out of it.

Yeah, that was one of his main problems he explained, he needs more money to hire an artist.

I'm in for $3. Hopefully it'll come back eventually, and bring in proper VR support.

I absolutely adored MW2 back in the day, and played through ALL of the expansions. I don't think I could go back to it now though, it's just too primitive and I know it's best left in my memory.

I've been meaning to get around to reinstalling 3 & 4 though. I expect those still stand up well, and I think they've got widescreen patches nowadays too.

i have not tried it yet, but i bought it to support it. Hows the music? Is it comparable to the awesome tribal drum sound track from mw2?

Very cool. I played MechWarrior 4 back in the day, but I wasn’t very good at it.

Don't think it has any music.

makes sense, but its a shame. i think half the majestic nostalgia for mech 2, was the music

 

[Destroy]

There is music in Instant Play and it is metal'ish rock...not exactly atmospheric.

Mechwarrior 2 used red book audio and I still have those CD’s kicking around. Would be cool if the game could play those tracks on a loop like the original did. Loved that music.

 

[theshadowcult]

yeah i still have the cd in my cd collection too

Visuals remind me of Delta Force II, which had no z subpixel precision.

Those old voxel engines were like that.

 

[Mangler]

I think the game looks like some kind of fan-made MW 4 remaster, it kind of has the same art style.

 

[Android1]

Does this game have HOTAS support?

It pretty much is.
