Mechwarrior3

Action- this is the keyword, if you want to describe this game.

But the player also has to lead up to 3 other warriors , so there's a lance to command.But , no fear this will not interrupt you seriously from tearing the Smoke Jaguar mechs into pieces.But , let's start with some facts:

• - 18 mech chassis
• - 35 weapons
• - of course you can modify them
• - dynamic battlefields (ok , this is a catch phrase , on ground detonating missiles make crates into the battlefield)
• - 20 single player missions
• - 6 multiplayer scenarios
• - 4 multiplayer modes
• - up to 8 participants in mutliplayer games

Okay , i must confess , this list is not very imressive , as nearly every game has a similar feature list. But you have to play the game to find out about the best feature , i can only repeat it : this is action. But first some other things: generally , the gameplay is nearly the same as in it's precursors. But there's a bunch of little improvements , 2 of them you can see on the screen shots below. The cockpit functionality has been increased.The sniper is really a fine thing

This is the beginning of the last mission in the single player campaign.

I will show you now show you how easy it is to command your lance: All you have to do is hitting the F11 key to get into on the command screen (below).Hit 1,2 or3 to give the single warrior a command or just give an order to all of them in clicking 1 , 2 and 3. Now you can give them an order in hitting the buttons from F6 to F10.

To get better along with steering the mech, you have to do the first missions alone , although it couldn't be easier.

I would write more about commanding the lance but i said everything about it.It's really that easy.

Salvage : yes , similar to MW2 Mercs , you can salvage mechs , weapons , ammo and other equipment.But this is the only way to get more of that stuff . Remember, you will be operating deep in clan territory ( Tranquil , Kerensky cluster ) ,so there's no way of buying all these things.

This is the salvage screen.

I'm sorry , but i didn't wan to buy another MW3 , so you have to get along with the german version.But i think you can guess what the terms are meaning.

The Mobile Field HQ that is with you all over the campaign can carry 900 tons of equipment.So you can get a large amount of the stuff and you will have to throw things out some times.

But take care of your MFHQ's , if there's one destroyed you are loosing 300 tons of transport capacity.

You can also take up to 10 mechs with you.
