This can be made to work on XP & Vista!! Do a goole search. You can throw a game CD in & listen today, sounds great. Soundtrack: The best I've heard, interesting and causing skin crawl when things heated up. The controls felt like controls, like most military vehicles stupid behavior would hurt no one but yourself. The game physics were some of the first that were truly realistic, jump jets were done right in action and use. The storyline is extended by a series of special pre-scripted contracts and players can also choose from the game's other randomly generated contracts. Through the course of the game, players will go through a storyline that covers events ranging from the arrival of the Clans in the Inner Sphere to their final defeat.

Players can also hire several pilots who can be given simple commands during the course of battle to help in missions. Between contracts, players can purchase new mechs or parts, sell their own or profit from salvaged mechs and parts.

In multi-mission contracts, players cannot make extensive repairs to their mechs between missions only field repairs and ammunition re-supplies are possible. Assignments range from simple one mission garrison defense to extended multi-mission attack sequences. Before each mission, players must negotiate the terms of a contract, then travel to that destination and fulfill the agreed to terms.


Players can pilot a variety of mechs but must acquire them through money earned from contracts or from salvage. The game gives players a chance to lead the life of a mercenary captain in the futuristic Battletech timeline, engaging in mech combat in a first person 3D view and managing resources through contracts and salvage. MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries is the second sequel product released by Activision to MechWarrior 2 and is the first full standalone sequel.
