MechWarrior 4 Now Available for Free Download

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.

    i think ALL older games (that have newer versions anyway) should be distributed online for free by their creators....

    it would bring more individuals to the gaming community which would in turn increase sales of newer games

    And in a few years you'll be saying the same thing about a 1.7 Tera-byte Game in higher definition.
