I tried playing the demo to this game several times and every time it crashed my comp. It looked like it would be fun though.

Ok, I've heard scads of stuff about this game. I'ma d/l the demo and give it a whirl.

Edit: I tried it out. It's kinda fun! But it would be better if I had a joystick or something.

I play this game a lot, especially Multiplayer. Hell, I'm even in a clan for it. Definately better with a joystick, otherwise its extremely hard to pilot your 'mech. Try the new edition, just out last week. Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries. Its got a much better single player and has 36 'mechs and lots more equipment and weapons to use.

Man, there's a lot of controls in this game. I pulled a Neo when I first fired it up and went into the configuration menu. It was kinda hard to get used to, and I didn't really play it enough to get completely used to it, but I managed to kill an enemy mech or two :)

I'm not to good, but I'm up for a fight sometime.

Mercenaries looks good, but is it an add on or a separate game? I bought the game back when it came out, but didnt really get into multiplayer.

I have been playing MechWarrior since MW3 first came out, it's a really fun game. Microsoft is doing a bang up job on it too.:) I don't use a joystick, I do the good 'ol chase view with mouse and keyboard, and I dare say my AIM is far faster/better than it was with a joystick.

MW4 is a great game, but honestly, I prefer MW2 over it. The graphics aren't as good, but the gameplay feels better. MW4 in cockpit gameplay is, for lack of a better word, "jiggly." MW3 though is solid and direct.

They're both fantastic games though. And as for the joystick, forget it. The way to play is with a good ol' mouse and keyboard. Mouse for reticule (which I like ALOT better in MW3, BTW) and keyboard for movment (throttle, strafe, weapons).

[wuzzapiman]

Joystick all the way

[FoldingAddict]

That's exactly what I do Phlubb and my response time for shooting down stuff is a lot quicker than any good joystick player.'

I use a M$ Precision Pro and mouse. It's nice using the JS left handed because you have your thumb on 2 buttuns instead of one. You need atleast 3 firing chains for mech 4 IMO. I have the Innersphere mechpack and the Black Knight Expansion pack installed. There is also a Clan Mechpack and the Mercenaries Expansion pack that was just released. The game is worth the investment just for the explosions.. even dying in Mech 4 is pretty.
