MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries
The sequel to Mechwarrior 4: Vengeance. When you're a 'Mech Mercenary, you call the shots. You don't fight for honor - you fight for cold hard cash, a fierce reputation, and the heart-pounding thrill of the kill. Your allegiance goes to the highest bidder. You answer only to the call of fortune. Your fate is in your hands alone. Select from 4 of the most notorious mercenary units, Kell Hounds, Wolf's Dragoons, Northwind Highlanders, and Gray Death Legion, to alter your missions, with different outcomes based on your victories. Choose from over 35 different 'Mechs, including 10 new ones. And for the first time ever, your secondary lance allows you to muster 8 'Mechs into battle simultaneously. Or make a killing in the infamous Solaris VII arenas, where fighting dirty can make you filthy rich. Includes 'Mechs from the Black Knight expansion for Mechwarrior 4, and is fully compatible with Mechwarrior 4 'Mech Packs. Fight for fame. Fight for fortune. Fight as a Mech Mercenary!

About This Game
MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries puts the player in the cockpit as Spectre, a mercenary BattleMech pilot operating in the Inner Sphere during the FedCom Civil War—specifically January 3066 through July 3067. Starting with localized contracts far from the main conflict, the campaign escalates: at one point Spectre may challenge a Jade Falcon Star Colonel named Aisa Thastus, who becomes a bondsman if defeated, or die in an alternate mission route. Depending on how allegiance between House Steiner and House Davion is managed, the player ends on one of two mission paths with three possible endings.
