Game Description

Players return to the BattleTech universe for more futuristic giant robot combat in this expansion package for 2000's MechWarrior 4: Vengance. At the time of game's release, the MechWarrior series had been around for well over a decade, enjoying strong support from an enduring fan base. Cyberlore and Microsoft give loyal enthusiasts more of what they want with this expansion pack, which features new 'Mechs and vehicles and a new single player campaign. The expansion also adds a "Black Market" mode, which allows players to trade parts instead of relying solely on salvaged equipment for upgrades. Several new multiplayer modes are included in this expansion as well, such as "Strongholds," "Siege Assault," and "Giant Killer."
