When Mechwarrior 3 came out a few years following the Mechwarrior 2 games from the Battletech franchise, it blew fans out of the water. Really, it stands the test of time against the current mediocre mech games the industry is pumping out every year. The sound and the voice acting are spot on, only a few places where it might seem a little over the top, but not often. The story is gripping, if you pay attention to the comm-chatter and briefings. If you're just looking for another Halo where you can pump lead into moving objects willy-nilly, then walk away. If you're looking for a good, solid FPS/ThPS mech game, welcome to the franchise. One more thing to be wary of is buying this game because you've played the Mechassault games on the X-Box. Be warned, this is a totally different gaming experience, much more realistic and tactical than it's Microsoft-spawned brothers. The only flaws are the short campaign (which can be overlooked if you can get a hold of the expansion) and the occasional glitch. Overall, it's a solid game. The graphics *are* dated, but the gameplay is not. If you're willing to look over the age on this game, it still stands up on it's armored legs with a much stronger stance than most. PS: if you do like this game, look into the "Pirate Moon" expansion for an even longer experience.Read full review
Love this game. Getting it to work on the Windows 10 took some work but I googled it and we are up and running. The game play is really good and the story and plot fit well.

Though the box certainly shows that time has visited upon it, the product came in perfectly, and I loaded this up on my 486 and got it running of the voodoo card. This game is still as I remember when i borrowed it, awesome to the core. Excellent piece of collectors for me, I am extremely happy with it!

ive had mw3 for years, i am currently playing it on line vs others @ gsa.my current rig is an imac running win xp pro sp2. nvidea 7600 gt 256 mb vid card.the key to getting mw3 to work with newer puters and xp is usually in slowing down the graphics card,newer cards render the game to fast and create havoc. there is a site, mw3.org, that has an extensive forrum that will most likely cover any issues you may come across. ive played the newer versions of mw and have to say mw3 is the best. i started with mw2 and loved it. when mw3 came out i was blown away, then ms came out with mw4 and its ilk.........total disappointment.felt like saturday morning cartoon hour to me...imo. peace,out
If you have a 98 system it is a great game. Don't bother with XP system , it crashes a lot. Demands that you pay attention to your environment. It isn't complicated but does require concentration.Should have had more missions. I am keeping all copies to install someday on a 98 system. Would like to play it again. Music is limited in number of tunes, but tunes are good ones. I would like to see more games of this caliber for PC. It really sets a higher standard.Only wish it worked with higher grade Direct X and graphics cards.
