Hm, sounds cool. Plus, it's free. :D But, due to my habit, I'll do some research on the game before downloading.

Dare we say it? Free release of Mechwarrior4 cleared for launch

If you've been following the drama surrounding the free release of Mechwarrior4, than you would be aware that the initial announcement, made last summer, was a bit premature. After nearly a year since the announcement came, MekTek Studios is pleased to announce, that Microsoft Legal has given the all clear for the free release of Mechwarrior4. This hallmark movement by Microsoft Games couldn't come at a better time, as the Mechwarrior community is attempting a rebirth, amidst announcement of a Mechwarrior Reboot. Thank you Microsoft.

A few weeks ago we stuck our neck out and announced that our studio was struggling to see this release through to the end. We also released our MekPak 3.1, through our distribution and patching system MTX, which gave our developers an opportunity evaluate any unknown bugs. We're glad our announcement and release worked, and we have many to thank for raising awareness, as the release of Mechwarrior4 is now imminent.

Some of the people we'd like to thank, to name a few, are those reporting gaming news such as Joystiq, Bluesnews, BigDownload, Fragland, Gamespy, IGN, Shacknews, and Slashdot. We'd also like to thank all major gaming forums for keeping this topic in discussion and not letting people forget about the promise of a Mechwarrior free release. Of course, we'd like to thank our partners for pressing Microsoft to allow for the release of Mechwarrior to the community including Smith and Tinker, INC., Virtual World Entertainment, LLC., and Catalyst Game Labs. And finally we'd like to thank our community and the Mechwarrior fans for standing behind MekTek when things appeared to be at their worst. Thank you for your continued support. Please stay tuned for the release launch!

Well to be honnest a good dodger can dodge about 20ft on UT2004, because people could move that far in a single jump the maps had to be large, hense why there are no small maps. UT3 however had the movment revised and larger maps were no longer needed.

maybe, but then again UT3 has better sizing, ut2004 made me feel like i was 4 feet tall. And ut3 has fairer gameplay, ut2004 if the bots are in dm and set to a high-ish difficulty then they will jump around like kangaroos on steroids.

The engine is an engine, it's slow because Epic coded UT3 to be slow. Anyone could change the code to make it faster.

Yes, the new game is supposed to be based off the unreal 3 engine.

There's a new game coming up, a reboot of the series.
I don't know if it'll use the Unreal 3 engine, but I know it looks nice.

I used to have all 3, and a few expansions - but they got ripped off a long time ago.

I forget what engine they used before, I don't think it was unreal.

I'll be DL this one though, is there a thriving mod community for it already? Haven't really checked.
