All the info I will be saying can also be found here I am making an ALL -IN-ONE Post to make it easy

For W7/Vista Users Please run all of these including installation of your game in Administrator Mode.

After you install the game follow these directions!

THESE ARE DIRECT LINKS!

A. Download and install PR1 Patch
Just open it and direct it to your MW:4 Merc Directory and install.

B.MP3.02a (from PR1)
Extract there should be 2 files, Open "WPApply"

For the Winpatch File hit browse and select "mekpak302a(pr1).wnp" this is the other file you extracted.

Folder to apply winpatch, please direct it to your MW:4Merc Directory click apply.


C.MekPak 3.0.2b

Just open it and direct it to your MW:4 Merc Directory and install.

D. Final Step! Go to your MW:4 Merc Directory.

Find the file "mekmatch.reg" This file will change your online servers to MekMatch servers becuse the original "Zone" servers are no longer online.

AFTER YOU INSTALL THE REG FILE YOU NEED TO RESTART YOUR COMPUTER OR YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY ONLINE!

Its highly recommended you also download the 4 Map packs. So you do not get errors for not having the map when you play online.

MWLMapPack1.exe
MWLMapPack2
MWLMapPack3
BKVMapPack

Launch the game and Have fun. My name in the game is Thescreensavers.

If you have any other problems post them here maybe I can help, if not you can always go to This link for more info

Is this for online multiplayer? I loved MW2: Mercenaries years ago and bought the Mech 4 Compilation three years ago but never really got into it. Not sure why I stopped playing it; it wasn't too bad.

I read the first couple of posts in that thread. It doesn't sound too hopeful. Of course, given the current state of the PC gaming market where consolitus is infecting all gaming companies, everything needs to be regarded as junk until proven otherwise.

I got tired of it a long time ago.
I beat each of the MW4 games a dozen times. I need a totally new game now. Have been hearing rumors of a Mechwarrior 5 since before Mercenaries came out.
Is this going to be another Duke Nukem Forever?

It won't be because a Mechwarrior game will fall into obscurity if not released. Duke had the clout for it to be a big deal to not be released.

MW2:Mercs was the best of the series. MW4:Mercs was decent though I think I'll pass on playing it again.

Nice idea, but it already seems to be in trouble - from the first post

formal product rollout slated for early 2009.

Mechwarrior 5 was cancelled quite some time ago.

Well "FASA Studio" owned the rights to the game. They said they would not be making MW5. but..

Smith & Tinker is an electronic entertainment company founded in 2007 by Jordan Weisman, Tim Lebel and Joe Lawandus. On October 15, 2007, they announced that they had licensed from Microsoft the rights for Weisman's previous creations of MechWarrior, Shadowrun, Crimson Skies and other FASA titles and would be announcing their plans for these intellectual properties at a later date.[3]

Wiki link

Smith & Tinker just released there first game Nanovor. So there still might be hope for MW5 in the future.
