Alrighty then! I was waiting forever for this expansion to be announced and that's probably because I beat it 2 days after I got the main game. Now I was able to predict that there would be an expansion because there was a expansion for almost every Mech game. I am so excited and I am sure every mech fan is, espesially my two best lancemates. We are good to go!!

If this expansion resembles MW4 at all it's bound to be an awesome game. I'm quivering with excitment awaiting the 5 new mechs this expansion brings. If your a hardcore mech gamer, you're probably feeling the same way I am. If your not, you won't be for long after you try this. What isn't there to like about blowing up 12m high mechs with the BIGGEST guns in the universe?

Got this yesterday and played it all night. There are quite a few bugs and zero on-line support as of yet. They either don't do the damage they claim or it doesn't register. Cluster Bombs are cool but also don't appear to register the stated amount of damage. The install overwrites your joystick settings that you set up with the MW4 patch 2 version 2. Switching from chain fire to group fire etc doesn't "stick" and you have to keep re-switching. It may have been coincidence but after installing last night I tried a multiplayer session and we were ghosting and warping so badly that we couldn't play. I'll try it again but we didn't have that kind of trouble previously.

Yeah, baby!

THIS GAME ROCKED!!! I'm not finished with yet, but almost. I loved it- but then again, it's just more of MW4. If you liked MW4, then you'll love this. New 'Mechs, new weapons. The Sunder, Black Knight, and Ryoken. They are only the best of five. It's also got new missions, but kinda lacks the orignal plot line of the first one- it's the classic get betrayed, get hired, fight against the guys who betrayed. Still, it's got the usual great action. Good if you liked the first.

I LOVE BK

BK is the greatest game ever, It has more features,Mechs etc... than the orginal Mech's Warrior Game.

Why should MechWarrior fans get this game.

I am a big MechWarrior fan.I have #3,4.Not #4 Black Knight.They are really fun games to play.I like it because it is challenging and it is fun.I build Mechs with legos.I am trying to find where I can get little models of any Mechs.Some of the games are a little cheap.Otherwise they are all sweet games.I have played all of them, but I only have these two. I am going to get this one for my birthday.If any kids who like robots blowing up other robots.Then they should get this game.

Great Addition to an already great game!!!

Get your heatbeat pounding with the newest expansion to the popular MechWarrior 4 Vengeance!

With the addition of new Mechs, like the Sunder, Wolfhound, Uller and More, you will be able to trade on the black market for new weapons and mech chassis.

I highly recommend this game, as a sysop with the Microsoft Gaming Zone!!! Play it online with up to 15 other people for the ultimate players experience....

exactly what MW4 needed

Seems a little weird, all that work you did getting Ian Dresari into power, and now you gotta fix that mistake. Well, you're a mercenary now and that doesn't matter anymore. You start out with some lighter mechs now instead of a shadow cat, but eventually you'll get upgraded. There are several new Mechs and new weapons (X-Pulse lasers rule). Nothing as far as mechs or weapons have been left out, everything that was in MW4 is still here. Graphics are as good as MW4, and gameplay is definately better. More communication with tac-officers just lends more flavor to the game and reminds you that nothing ever goes right in a war. Tactics you used in MW4 work the exact same -- never charge into a group of enemy mechs or they'll team up and waste you, lancemates still don't know what Mech repair bays are (argh!), and never run directly at a calliope turret. Theres new vehicles too, including a tank with two new surprises for you, to clarify, two AC/20's.

As far as equipment goes, you dont' always get to keep what you find. Since you ain't running the show, if the boss says you get medium mechs, that's what you get, even if you salvaged an atlas in a mission. Also, certain events might cause you to lose equipment (like your base coming under surprise attack and you gotta evacuate, etc). weapons that have been destroyed in battle are lost forever, and mechs with severe damage need to sit out of combat for a mission or two (depending on whether they are 'Damaged' or 'Crippled') while they are repaired.

Bottom line, if you liked Mechwarrior 4, or even think MW4 just needs a pinch of salt, by all means get this expansion. There's plenty of single player levels to go around in case you were wondering, and if you didnt like Casey Nolan, you get to kill him! what more do you need?
