Howdy fellas!!!!!
I spoke to Gabe and Calv lastnight after a long time no see situation!
they were asking me where I had gone and I told them.......www.iswars.com
It's a planetary conquest programme that links in with MW4: Mercenaries that is keeping a small but fun community alive for us old MW4 timers!
I know Spar was interested way back in something like this and was trying his best to get something like it off the ground.
If any of you old mechwarriors wanna come back and have some fun then gimme a shout and i'll help you get set-up.
Its a FFP league which uses the netmech4 varients which are stock but not the stock we knew from the mercs game they are stock varients created by the NM4 guys so its not the crappy old stock types we remember.
We in House Steiner are looking for some good pilots and some guys to help me take on people during the day too :)
There are 2 types of gameplay, PvP and PvP....PvP we all know but PvE is something they added for the times when you may not have enough guys online or no PvP at that time.
PvE consists of mission drops against static defenses and also vehicles, they have both been beefed up like the bulldogs and vedettas we knew are there but if they get in range they can do some real damage to you.
Another type is recon missions when you first attack a planet you drop from a dropship and clear initial landing zones with light mechs which is fun.
Then you have dropship attacks where you have to head out and destroy a dropship while still taking on the vehicles and static defences and in this one also a couple of mechs that are AI.
Firebase Raids are again static defenses but whe you do them you gain resource points (RP) for the unit.
Convoy raids you have to capture an enemy convoy which is guarded by 6 AI mechs, static defenses too and also destroy a droship with another 4 mechs to kill along with the static defenses and at the end you again salvage (RP)
The solar system is massive, there are logistical aspects involved in the game too.
You have to build mechs in factories, but you have to build the factories first and once the factories start producing the mechs you load them on jumpships and send them wherever they are needed to go, it takes 5 mins to jump a ship from planet to planet if they are your own planets and if your sending in some jumpships for a planet attack it takes 20 mins real time for those jumpships to do a combat drop.
If your logistical team are not on the ball you could end up mechless and unable to either attack a planet or unable to defend one.
Look me up on MSN if you wanna have a chat about it my msn is waynekharris@hotmail.com
Ok guys i'll stop boring you now :D
