They did, and continue to have full right to distribute the game, according to the lead programmer (information which can be found in the chat log on the discord server). They have the rights in the sense of Microsoft approval in addition to other companies giving them a pass at their negotiation/request, such as Harmony Gold. Hi solarmech, if youвЂ™re still out there 9and all the rest of the crew) вЂ¦ I can play nice and not poke the bear as long as you can refrain from jabbing me in the eye with a stick. Jehosephat2k from what I knew did the lionвЂ™s share, and I have heard he had a stroke, but I have no knowledge about how he is after that?вЂ¦ as if losing his family dog and computer to a house fire started by a stupid dryer wasnвЂ™t bad enough) вЂ¦ Also, if it really is the old team, theyвЂ™ve got some cleanup to do regarding a certain section of moddb dumping the tools out as public downloads.Д«e neat to have the old stomping grounds back up, even better if the forum archives were restored. That said, I wonder who will be bringing the site up and if theyвЂ™re going to be doing coding/etc I have to wonder whoвЂ™ll be doing it. Mekpak 5 would be a rather odd way to version name, the last one I recall testing on was mekpak 4 and it never saw the light of day release wise. They did distribute the game legit and sans the DRM. IвЂ™m not sure if the guys ever actually вЂњhad the rightsвЂќ in the usual sense one thinks of when they hear that phrase.

If you canвЂ™t accept that reality, thatвЂ™s your problem, and slinging around insults doesnвЂ™t put a dent in anything IвЂ™ve written so far. Now it falls to the community to fix what PGI couldnвЂ™t be bothered not to make properly in the first place. The only thing that going to make that game even tolerable by the time itвЂ™s released on Steam is the modding community, because PGI has taken their last kick at the can and whiffedвЂ¦badly. Shall I go on? MW5 is an objective loser of a game. Bad NPC spawns terrible AI paper-mache environments with no real sense of proper scale no radar no ability to command your squadmates in any useful way a UI that is a step backwards from MWO improperly balanced weapons (spitball ACs, IвЂ™m looking at you), repetitive missions bad voice acting a forgettable campaign and grind, grind, grind. MekPak 5 is due sometime later this year.ДҐ.1 rated user reviews, and nearly double the amount of negative reviews as positive one, and just as as many negative reviews and positive and mediocre combined is not what I would call вЂњotherwise goodвЂќ.

My sources (and by that I mean me lurking in Discord) tells me that MekTek even plans for yet another MekPak expansion for MW4: Mercs. Now if youвЂ™ve got a working copy of MechWarrior 4: MercsВ you can take your big stompy robots into battle online once again. Just a few days ago, another post on Reddit (and in the MekTek Discord) announced the return of MekMatch. The scuttlebutt is that they plan on bringing MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries back from the dead, updating it to work on modern hardware, and re-establishing MekMatch to give the game multiplayer capabilities. IвЂ™ve been lurking there for a little while trying to see whatвЂ™s going on, and from what I can tell, MekTek has big plans. Not a word on the MekTek Facebook, LinkedIn, or official website.Д«ut now, all of a sudden, MekTek has returned.ДЄbout a month ago, a Reddit post announced the return of the MekTek Discord server. Heavy Gear Assault stopped receiving updates in August of 2017. IвЂ™ve never played it, but the Steam reviews are mostly negative saying that the gameвЂ™s servers have shut down and you canвЂ™t actually log in or create an account.

Called Heavy Gear Assault, the game was released on Steam Early Access way back in February of 2017.

You canвЂ™t download it for free now, and even if you could, getting it to work on a modern PC is a bit of a technical nightmare.ДЄfter MechWarrior 4 had run its course, MekTek moved away from the BattleTech franchise to make a stand-alone game using the Heavy Gear license. Their second great accomplishment was acquiring the rights to MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries and then freely distributing it on their website. I loved that thing, even if it wasnвЂ™t a вЂњcannonвЂќ design. These greatly expanded the number of вЂMechs you could pilot in the game, and some of my fondest memories in MechWarrior 4вЂs Solaris matches was me running around in a Tenchi.

Their first great accomplishment was the MekPaks, a series of unofficial expansion to MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries. For those who werenвЂ™t as big into MechWarrior 4 as I was, MekTek is a collective of MechWarrior fans that got together to make their own development studio.
