Description

Developed by the creators of the BattleTech® Universe and original MechWarrior® game, MechWarrior 4: Vengeance portrays the players' epic struggles to reclaim their birthright as they command an awesomely armed, 40-foot tall, 100-ton war machine across the remote battlefields of a hostile world. Packed with intense action, MechWarrior 4: Vengeance places you in command of a legion of BattleMechs in a heroic struggle to liberate an oppressed planet. If you survive, you will have saved the planet. If you die, you die a hero. You will feel fear, but your enemies will know terror!


MechWarrior 4: Vengeance will immerse players in the BattleTech Universe with an entirely new story of a clan's heroic struggle for freedom. Players are the last of their family line, fighting a desperate battle to avenge their father and retake their planet from those who seek to destroy it

Instead of desolate, sparsely populated battlefields, MW4: Vengeance takes place in a rich and dynamic universe inhabited by armed allies, noncombatants, and deadly antagonists. High-energy lasers pierce the night; rockets flare with blazing fire; and buildings and vehicles crumble into smoldering rubble. Day missions, night missions, fog, rain, snow, blizzards, and lightning provide atmosphere and add to the intensity and realism.

Players can command 21 different 'Mechs©, six of which have never been seen on the battlefield. 'Mechs can be customized with brand-new weapons, armor and sensors including the devastating Long-Tom artillery piece. Each 'Mech and MechWarrior exhibits unique strengths and weaknesses, so gamers must carefully evaluate each mission and plan accordingly.

MechWarrior 4: Vengeance is a complete theatrical experience with a complex story of betrayal, revenge and honor that unfolds in sparkling cinematic detail. Players interact with a multitude of different characters and personalities, watch news reports as they happen, and listen in on radio messages from rebel stations. In MW4: Vengeance, players' actions shape the thickening drama.

All aspects of the game are under the players' control. They choose which battle to fight, what 'Mechs to take and which MechWarriors to bring. They decide how and where to deploy their forces as well as the best way to develop the experience of their team. In MechWarrior 4: Vengeance, being a good shot is not enough; gamers must also step up to the challenge of leadership.

Players get a true feel for just how mammoth their 'Mech is as they stroll down a street, stomping on vehicles, uprooting trees, and demolishing anything that gets in their way. They can feel the rush as pedestrians flee their gigantic footprints.

MechWarrior 4: Vengeance includes a variety of new and compelling multiplayer features, including those designed specifically to support networked multiplay in the BattleTech Universe. For the first time, players will be able to create their own missions, host their own MechWarrior servers, and participate in missions cooperatively. MW4: Vengeance will also include full support for Internet play, with matchmaking available on the MSN Gaming Zone.
