Destiny 2 clan is consistently full but get at me if you're on PS4 and we'll get you in! We have four or so of us so far

Mechcommander gold mission three is a loot pinata if you explore the map fully. The loot pile definitely outweighed my shittest deployed mech.
And rush-swarming the "oh-poo poo" Madcat mech near the mission extraction point was a feel-good moment. I only outgunned it & outweighed it by 200%.
Sadly I didn''t get the madcat mech as salvage, then the rookie piloting my heaviest mech hosed everyone up by shooting at a row of fuel tanks.
Guess I am taking another crack at that mission.

The mechcommander gold remaster supports game ranger for multiplayer.
Anyone have experience with game ranger?

If you rush the Mad Cat and shoot the leg off, you can pick it up as salvage.

Thank you again.
I have the manuals, and during my lunch break was wondering what the keybinding for AIM FOR HEAD was.


Looked at game ranger for a few minutes today, it is the online backbone connection for tons of older games with multiplayer capabilities.
Games I forgot even had multiplayer like Crimson Skies or the original Prey.
The Game Ranger client software seems to act like a gamespy clone, and the game ranger servers probably have a bunch of DNS forwarding for older obsolete network protocols like IPX/SPX, appletalk, and serial port emulation. Boosh.


Mechwarrior 2 series multiplayer breakdown time:(just to bore the everliving gently caress out of non Mechwarrior/Battletech fans)

Mechwarrior 2 vanilla -works flawless in dosbox with IPX/SPX enabled on dosbox startup file. Mostly clan vs clan mechs, you can play as an elemental suit & get crushed ASAP if that turns you on.
Netmech server/netmech client: essentially mechwarrior 2 with the campaign & voicework stripped out. Works with Mechwarrior 2 vanilla or Netmech
Ghost bear expansion -no multiplayer mode but has primitive VR goggle support.
MW2:Mercs -not compatible with the other mechwarrior 2 games. Uses a updated version of netmech called MERCNET. Mix of inner sphere mechs + clan mechs, elemental suit included.

Mechwarrior 2 multiplayer aka Netmech still works in 2017. You need to enable IPX/SPX support in Dosbox, and possibly run a dedicated IPX/SPX dosbox session if Mech2.org's dedicated IPX DNS forwarding setup is down.

I really didn't get into Destiny 1 because it felt really shallow (I only played it for the first four months or so) and the whole "Use your phone to find out the story" felt pretty lame to me.

I'm loving the gently caress out of Destiny 2 so far, and it feels like all the little complaints I had about 1 were fixed. :feelsgood:

READING COMPREHENSION IS HARD
Destiny 2 on PC has aim assist for controllers so people are going to spoof their mouse/keyboard as a controller and roll around as PVP headshot machines until Bungie realizes thats a bad idea.

The PvP in Destiny 2 is largely avoidable. Sometimes you get challenges to do stuff in there but you get fair more stuff in PvE mode with your pals.

People are defending that by saying it's a "heated gaming moment".
