The new loadout system was probably the most criticized part of this game when it came out.

This is what I did. I googled "Mechwarrior Quadrology", and clicked the link for oldgamesdownload dot com. Scrolled down a bit and clicked "Mechwarrior Quadrology (3.51GB)". Downloaded the file package and just installed the Mechwarrior 4 games/expansions. The game launched with no further tweaks or modifications.

One option is to buy a Windows XP business computer off ebay used for around $130. Then buy a graphics card for gaming and install it. Just make sure the computer has the slot for the graphics card. Another thing worth a try is a virtual machine, like Virtualbox.

I usually run up the border of the map to link up with the friendlys camp at delta. Keeping wide of the base to not trigger the enemy swarms. Take out the turret control towers and vehicles(the ones with the little dish on top). Use the mfb in the center of the map to refit. Stuff like that.

Yeah, I figured out all that stuff after a few hours of trying.

Now you got big mechs and the weapons to arm them. Those paired lbx 10s are just the thing for a mission with so many enemy vehicles.

I went to this website, oldgamesdownload dot com/mechwarrior-4-mercenaries, (fix the dot com). Then clicked the download link, "Mechwarrior 4 Quadrology (3.51 GB)". I installed only the Mechwarrior 4 games and expansion packs, since I got the older games working previously. Seems to work well in Windows 10 for me with minimal configuration effort.

I don’t know if anyone’s pointed this out to you yet, but if you strip the mechs you are not using in the mech lab, their weapons are added to the pool of available stuff you can use. I.e: if you have just salvaged a cougar that has 2 clan er large lasers and 2 clan LRM 10s, stripping it will dismount those weps, so you can use them on the mechs you are actually using.

After Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries, Activision lost the rights to make more Mechwarrior games, so they chose the Heavy Gear franchise for their next few mech games.
