You will feel fear, but your enemies will know terror!MechWarrior 4: Vengeance weaves heart-pounding BattleMech action with the continuing drama and unfolding storyline of the perpetual BattleTech universe, now in its 16th year. Developed by the creators of the BattleTech Universe and original MechWarrior game, MW4: Vengeance portrays the players' epic struggles to reclaim their birthright as they command an awesomely armed 40-foot tall, 80-ton, 90-mile per hour war machine across the remote battlefields of a hostile world.
Instead of desolate, sparsely populated battlefields, MW4: Vengeance takes place in a rich and dynamic universe inhabited by armed allies, noncombatants, and deadly antagonists. High-energy lasers pierce the night; rockets flare with blazing fire; and buildings and vehicles crumble into smoldering rubble. Day missions, night missions, fog, rain, snow, blizzards, and lightning provide atmosphere and add to the intensity and realism.
Players aren't grunts anymore; the universe is theirs to master. They can command and fight in more than 30 unique missions across 15 unique campaign maps. Missions include a palace assault, taking out a drop ship, and a one-on-one showdown with a battleship. The game provides more tactical options than ever before and is much easier to play, with a simple user interface and robust help features. Rather than memorizing a set of keyboard commands, players use pure destruction to level the playing field by taking advantage of the raw power of their 'Mech. Almost every aspect of the physical, visual, and electronic universe can be modified by targeting specific objects with specific weapons.
MechWarrior 4: Vengeance includes a variety of new and compelling multiplayer features, including those designed specifically to support networked multiplay in the BattleTech Universe. For the first time, players will be able to create their own missions, host their own MechWarrior servers, and participate in missions cooperatively. MW4: Vengeance will also include full support for Internet play, with matchmaking available on the MSN Gaming Zone.
