This standalone game's story is a prequel to MW2, as the leader of a crack squad of mercenaries in the year 3039, you must accept enough important missions, collect enough cash, and avoid political situations. Players are required to keep track of new factors like salvage - if you don't shoot everything you see into small pieces, you can even get ahold of some Clan mechs - and repair costs that add an entirely new spin to an already challenging game. An instant action option lets you bypass all of the new intellectual requirements and jump right into battle at the helm of over 30 classic era 'mechs. Thanks to cool visual effects like the Thermal Sensors and an amazing particle physics system, laser blasts and missile trails really add to the overall realism. It also has all new AI, an amazing network play system that allows players to host their own multiplayer games over the Internet. There's 50 missions covering numerous worlds, including missions pertaining to the Clan invasion. Mercenaries also features MercNet (a redesign of NetMech) for multiplayer. A special 3DFX Edition was also released. | ||
