Join up with the Independent People of Skye and capture the Hatchetman BattleMech in an exciting 5-mission campaign.
Genre: Action, Simulation

Also, take a moment to read our article about the great games set in the BattleTech universe.

According to these site: https://mw5mercs.com/news/2022/06/73-call-to-arms-launch-date-intel
We should have Soundtrack, Tech Manual Update and some new Dektops.
As for now I have only soundtrack available to download.
Someone know, when rest will come to GoG goodies?
Additionaly, they updated game manual, so instead of 21 pages it has 27.
It is available under following link:
https://mw5mercs.com/resources/2020/01/27-game-manual-and-media-downloads
I think, both manualsand other resources should expand as a GOG / Steam / Epic / Microsoft goodies available for download because "historical purpose".

cielaqu: I think it's safe to bet that Mechwarrior 6 will take place in Clan Invasion period. Though I hoped it would be itroduced in large DLC.

Gylfe: There will be no MW6, at least not for the foreseeable future. They have the license for it for a few more years and said this DLC is the last thing they are doing with it. Apparently it didnt do as well as they watned.
Is this confirmed? I've seen you mention it a few times but I have a hard time believing a studio would push out / waste time with not one, not two, but THREE fair sized DLCs for a game that wasn't making them money / didn't do that great.

If so, it's a bummer - I LOVED this game. Between this and Battletech (basically the same exact game, but turnbased) it was everything I hoped for - salvaging mechs, training up pilots, hunting down the best gear and bouncing around the galaxy blowing shit up.

Fantastic, fantastic game - loved every minute of it. I keep saying I'm going to either fire up another campaign - can't decide if I want to do it "from scratch" or import my overpowered lance from endgame on my last run.

Does anyone else love Stalkers as much as I do? I like variety, but I'd find myself hard pressed NOT to drop with two of them almost every time heh.

Noishkel: The Mechwarrior IP is kind of a mess, so getting any other MW titles is probably not going to happen. Which is a pity, i'd love to get a few of them again. I had most of them on disk, but I lost most of them in a house fire years ago. :/

Leganj: I still have all my mechwarrior 4 disks, but what I do not have are all the patches. Is there still anywhere I can get the patches for them?
Even if I found a site on my own that offered them, I would not know if I could trust the download. I am not very computer literate, so I have to be cautious. Has anyone found a legit place to get all the MechWarrior 4 patches? Hoping to get Mechwarrior 4 was the reason I joined GOG in the first place. I thought for sure the MechWarrior games would arrive here eventually. Here I am 6 years later, still no Mechwarrior 4 on GOG.

I have a tech manual listed in Extras but haven't looked at it. Is it not uppdated? There are also High-Res Backgrounds.

I downloaded them few hours ago.
IEDIT: It seems, that Tech Manual have been replaced. It have more mechs and of course, new cover. Black Inferno King Crab have been replaced, we'll miss you buddy.
It seems, as for now, only desktop haven't been updated. Thanks for pointing that out.

It does not look hopeful. Its safe to say MW5 is done and theres no hope for PGI making MW6

That sucks, M5M had so much potential. Even new kind of "long-range" gameplay. I think it was so damn fun to take your enemies down with Rockets, tell me one game what doesn that? None. Also the challenge was there too, if you added 30 extra ton for AI, it crush you. Etc. etc. Space Traveling was innovative too.

M5M has everthing to be great game series imho, add better RPG and Story stuff.

CDPR, buy the damn game. It has great core.

The main issue i have with it is friendly AI and mission variety, but its not enough to stop me from giving it 5 stars and it is a great game. They screwed up the launch with some release bugs and their 1 year exclusivity deal. Being on streaming services hurt it too, i have friends that wouldve bought it if it wasnt on game pass.

It really sucks because MW is one of my all time favorite series and it was one of my first PC game experiences. The AI in MW 2 was much better and its a shame they didnt use that or just give you more and/or more detailed lance commands and the AI wouldve been fine.

I wish PGI would give up the license if they dont plan to use it instead of leaving it in hell the next few years. Fortunately there are already some solid mods out there such as merctech and piratetech, but heres hoping we get a full on clan invasion mods with a new or expanded campaign or just new missions and events. The existing missions are fine, but they do get repetitive since its only around 8 of them you do over and over.

I still love it and will play it until MW6 finally ever comes out if it does... just hopefully not another 17 years

its 3 year old, reveal for sequel should happen in couple year. Or any time.

Piranha Games have never made sequel it seems. No surprise no-one likes them, power is in the sequel. And they have been around 22 year, jesus.

If there will be a sequel it wont be by Piranha, they've said as much. And this was the last dlc for MW5
