Its the way they play on the table top. If you do enough damage in one salvo (ie remove enough armour) there is a pilot check. Bit like what they implemented in Battletech (the current video game).
Ah Mechwarrior 4 and mercs , mektek forums and their amazing mekpaks, all the leagues, i deeply miss those days and the people/names i played with and against.
Awesome! I got in at MW2. This franchise hasn't let me down yet. There isn't anything more kick ass than fighting it out in giant robots! Only thing blowing my mind now is VR!
Had no idea anyone was still modding MW4. Wild to me that some details in this game are missing from PGI's stuff. Knockdowns, independently turning arms...
People are modding knockdowns (the Clan Invasion team), but they say they will implement that only after PGI stops working on MW5. Doing custom animations is very hard working and to a simple DLC to undo all that work I understand their caution.
@@volfegan I imagine updating walk animation speeds to match velocity on mechs like the King Crab is something they’re planning as well. I noticed that its walk speed animation doesn’t change no matter how fast you go with MASC/superchargers, but its shadow actually does speed up.
Those independently moving arma however are locked to 90 degrees left and right. Though knock downs are missing there is a lot that MW5 does over 4 and vice versa.
pgi will never put knockdowns back into their games. knockdowns existed in mwo, but then paul inouye (one of the studio leads) got "bullied" on-stream by being chain knocked-down by players and almost immediately removed knockdowns and threw the feature into the trash heap after.
I've tried a few times to install and play the base game several time, but the fact that my PC is running 64bit Windows 10 keeps getting in the way and trying to run in one of the built in DOS emulators isn't helping. Anyone who reads this, PLEASE give me advice on how to fix my problem in the replies to this comment. Also, adding back in the penalty of losing a side torso also costs you the corresponding arm, like how 3 and 5 have it, would be awesome.
Mechs still had character and weirdly felt less blocky back in the early 2000s despite having significantly lower poly counts. The newer renditions all look like they limped out of the same factory and feel too rigid, in appearance and movement.
I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to computers. Is it had to get this to work on windows 10 because I've tried the old mektek download and it used to work on my windows 7 PC but my newer one it won't work on.

hello good sir . id please like to ask the following , is it a mod for mechwarrior 4 ? because to my eye the graphic style and ui design would indicate so .
if anyone can give me a actual working way to get this to run on windows 10 64 bit and not drop out telling me about some random error thats never the same i will name my online mech company after them in my next stream of it when my discord does another full company coop run of merc 5

MW4... Great story saga...but.... over-simplified mech building... :( and the WORST ... if not damned near Franchise Killing... additions and expansions of the computer game aspect of MechWarrior. I mean, SERIOUSLY. The Story was great, I will not dog on it. But the controls, the graphics, the mech-lab... Flat JUNK. Especially when coming off the heels of MechWarrior 3 graphics and dynamics. The only good part about the MW4 lineup was when the public got ahold of it and began introducing more mechs, missions, and other options. But the core points were schitte.
You know what's crazy, just the other day I was thinking to myself "what ever happened to that mech game Hawken" and now I got mech stuff recommended in my searches... I see there's a new Mechwarrior Merc game.. anyone know if its any good?
Love the way the mechs topple over when you hit them with the LBX20s. What a cool effect.

This was also included in MW3
This is also Vanilla feature.
I remembered in Mechwarriors 2 when the LBX10/20AC sounded like a mega shotgun on burstfire, that still scares me...
Those gyro overloads are hilarious. Makes you feel the punch in those guns!
Don't know how many times I've done this god-forsaken mission, never thought to tell my lance to power down in cover and spring an ambush on them

Wow! Looks like more organic than the Mechwarrior 5. The zoom broh, awesome!
One of the hardest missions in MW4 on elite difficulty. Good old vibes😀 True mechwarrior fight)
Its good to see 4 is still getting some love. Baffles me how much of a step back mw5 is.
This game got me into it all. Shame the PvP servers are shut down.
I used to be notoriously known for my team killing abilities. I specialized blasting team mates backs at the beginning of each rounds.

"Yup!"
MADCAT MK2 fighting a raven was my first mech battle.....I will never forget it. Catapults were my lunch.... :P
I wish these old mechwarrior games got remastered.
Its so well animated for it's time
Man this looks great so far
If you don't mind me asking, what tools did you use to mod the old MechWarrior games? There any resources online for it?
god i love this game. i wish i were savvy enough to get it running
I loved the Fafnirs in that game
Bro shut down two mechs and got Mags killed for it....bru
The falling over is missing in MW5, stupid decision that.
Also, i can't really make out what is supposed to be modded here?
the whole audio departmemt, literally every sound is different, there is also the Reshade.
He did that catapult dirty xD
so whats the premise of this mod?
Ahh I forgot how much I played this when it was first out :)

It’s a big mech and therefore has more critical space than, say, a spider.
When Mechwarrior was good. MW5 just seems bland with crappy story.
The merctech mod made mw5 enjoyable. The creator is currently doing a full rewrite of the mod since the last dlc though.
Ah the Crouch, why doesnt MW5 and the Online ever implement that? Mechs got legs so why not.
Looks great, any idea when it will be ready?
Мехи даже падают и встают.👍
Better than MW5.
so much carnage from those lbx's
Is it still possible to get this game on a current pc system running?

Mechwarrior IV works on WIN10???
Linking the LBX's to fire with the Medium Lasers was a mistake
memories.....
nova cat 4x erppc boom took out any mech in game with one alpha same with the puma 2x erppc no light or med mech could stand against them
Bentornato! Spero tutto ok 😌
