MechWarrior 2: Resource Forum

Okay, back again with a few more questions. Though first let me say I don't think I'd mind too much what a 3dfx patch did to the atmosphere of the game. I like what it did for mercenaries. I like things all colorful like that, though if stability is an issue I'd understand. A major issue. Otherwise ...

Just thought I'd say hi officially. Born again battletechie.

By innocence I meant the directness in the way they think. They're like children in a way. I particularly like the wardens. For them I am willing to ignore the caste system, as I've never seen any evidence that it was literally oppressive or lacking a degree of fluidity. Had the wardens become the m...

His main complaint is that they changed the feel of the game, by which he means the tabletop game, that it removed all the balance, and likewise all the novelty and romance of a neo-fuedel future society plagued with scarcity and concerned more with honor duels than with war.

I was introduced to FASA and Battletech through Mech2 and Mercinaries when I was like ten. I got the RPG for Christmas once, but never found anyone willing to play it (I lived on an island), and so I never really looked into it too deeply.

Anything past 60 reduces performance, and even at 60 the missiles still detonate too early. I'm not sure if it's happening as frequen...

No, I mean Mech2. Incidentally, does anyone know where I can find an XP computability patch for Mercs?

Thanks. Sadly, I don't think it works in DOS.

Hello fellow Battletech/Mechwarrior gurus! I'm glad I found this place. SDMK's videos helped me get Mech2 working for windows, which is absolutely incredible, and I think there are a lot of people who owe him gratitude. But I've got a little tiny but very annoying issue now with the game. One or two...
