I really want to play MechCommander Gold but ironically that Microsoft published game isn't compatible with Windows 10 Pro/Surface devices.
MechCommander Omni does work on Surface devices after some work, Omni doesn't capture the same overwhelming feel as MechCommander 1 though.

By the way, what version of Windows 10 do you have/what are you running Windows 10 on?
My surface device is running Windows 10 pro version 1703/creators update.

Windows 10 Pro with Creators Update too.

Just solved my old-rear end microsoft games don't work problem.
Directplay wasn't enabled on my machine, technet.com (microsoft enterprise support site) was massively unhelpful as to how get directplay installed and/or working.
Answers.microsoft.com had the solution, I only have myself to blame for my retarded reliance on technet.com

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/games_windows_10/directplay-on-windows-10/d34f924c-63e6-48b9-919e-00f680713b19?auth=1
Ignore the useless microsoft tech support guy quoting technet documentation, someone had the solution on 3rd page of thread.


Enabled directplay and MechCommander Gold works, Darkest Hours super mod works.
Booosh.

Huh, Directplay automatically popped up as a 'Required Install' with MCG for me.

You should get MW4:Mercs too.

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.

I'm hoping that Mechwarrior 5 pulls something out of the ashes of MWO, and the new turn-based Battletech I helped kickstart does something more.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hpz-oX3gKys

I just beat Dishonored 2: Death of the Outsider. It was.....okay, not as good as Dishonored or Dishonored 2, but it had quality, but the story was rushed, and it definitely had that expansion feel.

I used to drive around with flak AA and blow up legs

people in that game get really upset if you leg someone

Best way to make good salvage is leggings. It was fun in MW2 shooting the legs off mechs, but Mechwarrior 2 didn't have fall physics, so the mech would just stand there on one leg.

Mechcommander 1: finally managed to get a hollander 2 as salvage.
It's a mech made out of lego blocks with saran-wrap armor thats built around a construction crane sized sniper gun.
Totally a one-use mech, doesn't stop me from trying to use it in other roles.

Man, the ending to Dishonored 2 is just kind of confusingly bland. It's a shame, the first game had a really cool finale that pretty much completely changed depending on how you played through the game. Is the DLC worth getting?

Which ending did you take? Low chaos? High Chaos?

The DLC is meh. Its not terrible, but I get the feeling that most of the audio is recycled from Dishonored 2 scraps, and that this was just a huge afterthought.

I really want them to release an MMO style add on so you can run campaigns against teams.
