MechWarrior 3 Demo

The Inner Sphere's long awaited counter-attack against the vicious Smoke Clan Jaguar rages on, but the enemy isn't willing to lay down and die. On a world with the ironic name of "Tranquil", one of the last ranking Smoke Jaguar Star Colonels is preparing a bastion for his Clan to lick its wounds and prepare its vengeance.

Your mission- conduct a high-impact commando raid on Tranquil and destroy its usefulness as a base of operations before the enemy has a chance to dig in.

The tricky part is, MechWarrior, that the Jaguars know they're beaten and, honorable or not, they're going to try everything to see that they get their shot at vengeance against the Inner Sphere. You can bet they're going to start with the closest target -- you.

This demo features just one of the Instant Action modes, termed "Battle Progressive." The player will face 10 waves of enemy mechs, each wave stronger than the next either because of the number of mechs involved, or because of their size. The player can have up to 3 lancemates with him, as well as his Mobile Field Base, which can make armor repairs and provide more ammunition. The player also has options for invincibility, unlimited ammo, and no heat management (although this is "dishonorable").

The player is allowed to play as one of three mechs (MadCat, Orion, Bushwacker) and can encounter about 10 different types of mechs in this demo. Although all of MechWarrior 3's weapons and equipment are not available in this demo, there is a nice mix that allows the player to configure the mech in dozens of different ways.

Note: Updated demo fixes the "Uninstall bug", if you already have the first demo, just get the patch instead. The new demo contains multiplayer gameplay over LAN, modem or Internet as well as a single player gameplay mode.
