"Mech Assault Downloads !"

Well it looks like the long wait is over for all you fans of online Mech Assault play. By the looks of it, the downloads are due tomorrow (Thursday 20th), so I know what I'll be doing tomorrow. ;-)

Chin up Mantis, maybe oneday things will turn out right and you'll be on LIVE. :-)

Levels sound good.

But not for me untill Xbox Live. Which looks like never.

The new mechs suck totally in Destruction, but in team destruction last night me and another guy, both in Ravens, backed by two Heavy Mechs, made total trash out of larger mechs by working together. Two invisible, fast moving, mechs constanty hammering fire into a madcat/Ragnarok works well.

I think we have to bear in mind that both the new mechs will be pretty excellent at CTF.

Of the new levels, I don't like Hell's Kitchen as it's too tempting just to sit on the higher ground at the edges, but the new arctic one is good, having said that this is all free stuff so it's all good :)

And the Sav verdict on the downloads is...

Raven
A good little mech, you'll need to use the invisibility though as a couple of decent hits is enough to see you disappea in a cloud of smoke.

Corvus
Utter crud overall. The jets are decent, but with the same indurance as the Raven, your doomed to die when your completely visable the whole time.

Hells Kitchen
Good map, some nice parts in the area you can use to your advantage in taking out opponents and its nice to run around in. A pretty tactical map. :-)

Stone Cold
In my opinion, this is the second best map you can play on. A nice snowy arena with plenty of power ups and a good layout. This is only beaten by River City. ;-)

So overall we're still waiting for the Capture the Flag mode and I hope we see 1 or 2 more mechs as well - preferably heavy ones so there are some new additions that can compete with the likes of the Mad Cat.

Nope not small. 8mb is 502 blocks. Will probably get in soon and download them.

Christ, 1741 blocks for Hell Kitchen
343 blocks for Raven
2102 blocks for Stone Cold
345 blocks for Corvus

These downloads aren't small...

The content is there! Woo!

Well, when I tried to connect to live on Mech Assault, it MADE me download a required update, maybe this has something to do with it.

Let's see then...

The content is suppose to be out 12am PST so it should be out now for us UK gamers. Heard a few rumours that the content oncve downloaded doesnt allow you to join any games. Maybe this is due to every body needing the content to play the same game, and if its only just released then its unlikely everyone will have it.

Will try to get the content in a few hours before I go to Uni, hopefully it will be up and working.
