I was thinking about getting it but have hesitated because it has been dumbed down by microsoft. That is kind of annoying. I played the original Mechwarrior and of course 2 and 3. I love customizing the mechs balancing wt and criticals. I read that that has been all dropped in favor of a simplified method. How is the game play compaired to MW2/MW3? I have a CGW CD that had a Mechwarrior4:Black Knight demo on it and installed it to take a look and the frickin' thing won't run because the demo is "expired". Everytime I forget about how much I hate MS things like this remind me. A demo with an expiration date? Give me a break. Anyway, is it worth it or should I just replay MW3 or try to get MW2:mercenaries to run under windows.
