What do ppl think of MEchwarrior 4?

[Virjo]

Hey.
I was about to get MW4 a few days ago, but decided not to & see what people think about it first.
So, what do you think?
Is it good grafix?
Is it good gameplay?
Is it good storyline?
Is there many options in the game, or is the storyline set?

you know, stuff like that...

I've only played the demo. But I loved it! It's graphics were cool! Sounds awesome! Great with force feedback! uhm... Did I mention it had great graphics?

I've played mech-4 multi at a friends and it was cool, however I dislike single player mode. multi is the way to go with mech-4

Mech4 is great Graphics are great single player kinda sucks but the real fun is in multiplay. I cant think of a better action multiplayer game than mech4 go buy it.

Great game. Multiplayer has a different feel to all other FPSs. Might want to have a good 4-axis stick. Preferrably programmable with a lot of buttons. Those big mechs may be heavy but the action is far from slow. The programmable sticks are a plus for doing the circle of death/cirle strafing technique. You'll always have complete directional and targetting control while having access to most if not all of the combat-related commands.

i prefer keyboard and mouse.

Radbasa's comment reminded me. Gamepads are a must in the game! Something like Logitechs Wingman Rumble pad ($29) or Microsofts original Sidewinder game pad ($19-29) work great!

your not talking about mech4 with a gamepad are you? NO WAY! mech4 has so many controls it would boggle the mind of a gamepad. You need to switch to next target, switch to next nearest target, switch back to last and last nearest target. thats 4 buttons already.

O.K. I got it! It is awesome, esp. the grafix! It is better to play than watch, but I can't comment on multiplayer, because the only other computer in the house is an old, busted 286 laptop computer...
Awesome, tho.
thanx for all the replies...

Virjo...Virjo...Virjo, you live 10 minutes from me and already played it at my house once, why didn't you just borrow it off me when you took WIng Commander Prophecy?

BTW, I'll take you on at my house on my LAN anytime, I would've wooped you on UT but my brother was asleep in his room last time you were here and the other comp is in there.
