MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries - Steiner Walkthrough Veteran - No Commentary

[@TejasAusten]

These long form playthroughs are just what I needed while waiting for MW5:Clans to drop.

[@francisbongiovanni3608]

Wow, I don't once recall hearing Falcon go THIS IS AISHA. I AM PREPARED. Absolute icon.

*intro starts to roll* me: this is where the fun begins!

5:34:54 LMAO, the Mech victory dance! 🤣

[@mimief7969]

This was my favorite playthrough, I'm obsessed with shit like the role of loss/death in Germanic literature etc.

[@KritoSkywaker]

I made a policy of myself. I never do Steiner run ever again. Talon - Night Op left me with a very salty taste. Majorly, because I've suffered an entire day to complete that mission, with a Raven. 😂

[@Sanchuniathon384]

I've done it with a Daishi with 6 ERLLAS, you just gotta shoot straight and never miss once but you can take out the entire enemy force that way. 6 ERLL cores the CT on most mechs on the first shot.

[@KritoSkywaker]

@@Sanchuniathon384 That's fair. But I preferred to follow the mission objective. That is why I made it harder for myself.

[@OfficialBulldozerStudios]

The campaign nearly broke me the last time I played it. I am never playing campaign again. Especially the Steiner route. It can die and go to heck.

Annihilator with clan mgs and a lot of ammo is the way to go

[@Scorch0017]

@@eeddsdsd Annihilator isn't present in the original game.

I just love those Solaris mechs wiggling their legs like that! :D

[@Scorch0017]

During the cutscene at the end of the round? That's bercasue I forgot to turn off legs auto-turning or something like that in the game options.

[@bjorntrollgesicht1144]

@@Scorch0017 my headcannon is that it's a victory dance! Admit it, a Behemoth going wiggly is exceptionally cute :D

[@StancedVacuum]

did you use a flight stick? picked up that usb logitech garbage stick and aiming on it is just a nightmare full of over-corrections. My dad's setup way back when had a Microsoft Sidewinder, and I loved that thing.

[@Scorch0017]

@@StancedVacuum no, just mouse and keyboard. To fix mouse aim you need to run MW4's with dgvoodoo 2 graphics wrapper and check Cursor hook in GeneralExt settings tab. I didn't know about the later at the time of recording this playthrough, that's why my aiming was erratic.

Solaris winning stanky leg pose

And now Clan Wolf holds Terra. Coincidence?

[@garrettgonzales6049]

Hey gang, anyone recommend any guides for getting these running in modern systems? I still have my disks! Miss these games….

[@KaptynPierug]

how did you get 16:9 resolution? in my autoconfig options i only have 4:3 :(

[@ArcliteS08]

MekTek's MekPak v3.1 adds proper widescreen support and extended draw distance to MW4Mercs.

[@Maxime_Martyr]

Wait, why is it that only the escort mission for Steiner is available to you on Hesperus II whereas when you played for Davion, both sides were still available to you at this point? 🤔

[@Scorch0017]

That depends from the nobility\infamy rating.

[@Maxime_Martyr]

@@Scorch0017 And you grew infamous that much faster than you grew noble? 😏

[@Maxime_Martyr]

I can't take it anymore! Someone shoots Spectre's lame voice actor! Who in their right mind selected him to voice the protagonist of a war game?!? 😩

[@Maxime_Martyr]

I see that you were consistent in your will to break lore's consistency, this time you played a noble mercenary who chose to side with the dirty House Steiner which is just as illogical as when you played a dirty mercenary for the noble House Davion, do you have that much fun breaking lore's consistency that you ruin all your walkthroughs with illogical and inconsistent choices? 😏 No noble mercenary would ever work for the dirty House Steiner, especially not against the noble House Davion, therefore I can't enjoy your walkthrough because it breaks lore's inconsistency and as I already told you, I make no compromise with lore and I forgive no inconsistency therefore you just earned yourself one more dislike from me, enjoy it as much as you enjoy breaking lore's consistency. 😉

[@Scorch0017]

Thanks!

[@Maxime_Martyr]

@@Scorch0017 Eh, at least you have a sense of humour so we might get along after all. 😏
