MechWarrior 4 to be released free "soon" News
PC News by Oli Welsh
Perhaps looking to revive interest in the MechWarrior games ahead of its just-announced reboot, Smith & Tinker is allowing the last game in the PC series to be released for free.
2000's MechWarrior 4 and all its expansions will be bundled and distributed by fan mod community MekTek.net though its BattleTech.com site.
The giveaway is billed as a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the MekTek community and the 25th anniversary of the BattleTech universe, a science-fiction world of battling big robots that's been realised in board games, role-playing games and novels as well as the MechWarrior series.
"We welcome the opportunity for the MekTek team to officially take a leadership role in the cultivation and development of the on-line MechWarrior 4 communities in support and anticipation of the recently announced MechWarrior game by Smith & Tinker and Piranha games," said MekTek in a statement.
"The free download will be available soon!"
The new MechWarrior is in development for PC and 360, but has no date or publisher as yet.

Loved MW4 , only problem was all the expansions it had and thefact if bought one the pack you cant use all that on disc unless bought other pack i think they were called the clan packs part of mercanaries. Anything which turns into milking for money turns me off straight away but the base MW4 game was great.

Does this have multiplayer capabilities? because if it does it'll be as good as when Tribes and Tribes 2 first came out for free...
