People tell me that a lot, lately.
I'm still waiting for karma to kick in.
Start up WoW, roll a toon on Tarren Mill, and I promise Karma will come around and kick you.

Ok! Toon made, name's Legoolas (or Legolaas, can't remember)
Kick them me hard!  ;D

Only see this now. Awesome!
I have both MechWarrior4 games, but none of the Mechpacks. Sucks that they're not up for separate download...

Also, is the free game compatible with the 'real' game?
And is anyone planning to give this a chuck in MP?

I'll be downloading it over the next couple of days, and if it turns out to be compatible, then yeah I'll be up for something.

Yeah, but then I would have to download 1.6G on my crappy connection. I'd rather just install the game I own and just download the packs (which should be a smaller dl) and then hope it's compatible.
I might look if I can find the packs elsewhere.

Porcupine light Mech ftw :) MGs all over :P


edit:
Porcupine vs. Pitbull:

Figuring out a good keyboard/mouse control scheme is :effort:

And then I need to figure out the game itself, so a campaign run through is required. No way am I loosing horribly to you guys in MP without at least working the game out.

IIRC i used to use mouse to control torso and weapon group firing, keyboard for legs/speed
