MechWarrior 4 Now Available for Free Download
The best things in life are free.
Late last month, MekTek Studios revealed that Microsoft had finally cleared MechWarrior 4 for free release.
If you've been following the drama surrounding the free release of Mechwarrior4, than you would be aware that the initial announcement, made last summer, was a bit premature. After nearly a year since the announcement came, MekTek Studios is pleased to announce, that Microsoft Legal has given the all clear for the free release of Mechwarrior4. This hallmark movement by Microsoft Games couldn't come at a better time, as the Mechwarrior community is attempting a rebirth, amidst announcement of a Mechwarrior Reboot. Thank you Microsoft.
And now, the download is available to everyone for absolutely nothing at all. Hit up this page here for the 1.7GB download.

@hellwig...of course there is still torso twist, but many do play keyboard/mouse...for me, joysticks are just ,more fun
@crazy hitchhiker....actually, MS didn't have much to do with this, as Smith & Tinker owns the current rights, MS's approval was just crossing the T's and dotting the I's...The MekTek team has there hands full right now, and I highly doubt a Linux port.
This was released for free to generate interest in the upcoming ( someday ) Mechwarrior 5, also by Smith & Tinker
