ORIGINAL: hank I still crank up Mercs occassionally and set up some games with AI buddies to go out and blast the heck outta some Black Knights or Thors or whatever sounds fun at the time to shoot at. ... gause rifles, rotary cannons, ... dang, I get excited just talking about it. I haven't checked if they still play on-line any more. Definitely the best on-line gaming I ever did. Mechwarrior rules. Hey, let me recommend you BattleTech: rulebooks alone number THOUSANDS of pages and there are tricks that were overlooked in videogames. Rip off limb from fallen 'Mech and use it as a club, pick up and throw Elementals, assign Heat Sinks effectively cool particular weapon more effectively, use Coolant Trucks to restore heat dissipation capacity and replenish coolant tanks, effects of low/high gravity, thin/thick atmospheres, wide range of weather conditions (bug storm!), recovery and treatment of combat casualties, maintenance, repairs and other logistics, FrankenMechs!!! Would you like to know more? There are even computer games that follow these rules to letter. Recommendations to MekWars. Java required, recommended version: Java Runtime Environment 1.6 Update 11.

You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it. MekWars
