MechWarrior 4: Black Knight Expansion Pack - PC Games

The new missions are nice, but the most dramatic change was made at the request of the legions of MechWarrior fans who believed that the vanilla story in MechWarrior 4 didn't live up to BattleTech's dark, feudal roots. The new story casts you as a Black Knight, a mercenary working for House Steiner (the bad guys from the previous game). Our Microsoft rep grinned with glee when he described how your first missions in Black Knight will be to hunt down the characters from MechWarrior 4. The character on the top of the fans' hit list? Annoying smart-aleck pilot Casey.

New to the game will be the black market, which is an area in which you can buy or sell equipment for your Mech Lab. This gives you an even better reason to be precise with your shooting, as you can salvage more equipment from your adversaries. New multiplayer modes will also be available. They include: Absolute Attrition, Strongholds, Siege Assault, Giant Killers, and Clan vs Inner Sphere.--Andrew Bub
