Rightio - I recently found my copy of MW and installed it, I prefer 4 for the setup options/resolution support etc, but i love 3 to bits!

So, who's up for a duel or two this weekend?

Let me see if I still have a copy. I'd love to get in a mech for a while.

Excellent - lemme see how the worlds are made, and what files are supported for what purpose, I could give it a revamp of sorts :)

As I recall Chimera, you were a MW4 hellion. I feared going against you back in the day on my puny dial up.

LOL

Well, I need to rip the image from my CD's so I'm not playing Go Fish with CDs, but when I do that I'll install the game and see if I can find the Mech that Wedge built for me in my archives. Bwahahaha.

I can't find MW4 anywhere :S - I know I have it! But 3 isn't so bad...

I don't like the fact that loadouts can be hideously overpowered. AT least in mechwarrior 4 the slot system gave you sensible choices, and characterful mechs.

LBX/AC20 does not constitute character. That's purely charisma :p

Managed to get it installed and patched to 3.0 so if anyone fancies a game just nudge me in irc after 7ish (GMT)

(I love the fact that with my current system I can now run all the graphics at ultra-high which is very unusual.. hehe)

Ok, finally retrieved my MW4 disc and the Black Knight Expansion. I'll be ready to play around 10PM GMT tomorrow (life is getting in the way til then), if everything goes smoothly.
