An expansion pack, Desperate Measures, was released in 1999. Complete, freely-downloadable versions of both games were published by FASA on their website in 2006.[1] A sequel, MechCommander 2, was released in 2001. GameplayThe player assumes the role of the commander of Zulu company from the Federated Commonwealth's First Davion Guards, a member of the Inner Sphere (IS).[2] The planet Port Arthur must be taken back from the Clan Smoke Jaguar.[2] The game's campaign progresses through 30 different missions broken into 5 operations with 6 missions apiece.[3] Each mission consists of a number of objectives which may include destroying enemy units, capturing or defending enemy units, protecting friendly units, and capturing and defending bases. Some missions must be completed within a certain time limit.[4] In each mission, the player controls a limited number of units which are either mechs or support vehicles.[6] This control is through a simulated aerial viewscreen above the battlefield.[5] Each mission restricts both the combined tonnage and the number of units allowed. Briefings are supplied prior to the start of the mission which lists the objectives and other relevant information. A wide range of strategies and tactics may be used on any given mission, and the player can customize his or her forces for each one.[4] In between missions the player can repair and refit mechs, assign mechwarriors to each mech and purchase mechs, vehicles, mechwarriors, and components.[3] These items are purchased with Resource Points which are awarded for completing previous mission objectives.[10] Few mechs, vehicles, mech pilots, and components can be purchased at the beginning of the campaign, but more become available as the game progresses. However, only IS technology can be purchased. Clan technology such as weaponry and new mechs must be salvaged from the battlefield.[11] Salvaging equipment is an important feature of the game.[2] Each mech is piloted by a mechwarrior. Pilots increase in skill as they use them during missions.[4] The more missions and kills a particular pilot has, the more experienced and valuable he or she becomes.[11] If a pilot gains enough experience, he or she will increase in rank. The four ranks from least to greatest are "green," "regular," "veteran," and "elite." Rank determines how effective a pilot is in a certain class of mechs (light, medium, heavy, or assault).[15] MechCommander: Desperate MeasuresMechCommander: Desperate Measures is an expansion pack that was released in 1999.[6] Set immediately after the liberation of Port Arthur, the player once again assumes command of Zulu company in a campaign to liberate the desolate planet Cermak in the Periphery, taken by a renegade Smoke Jaguar, Star Colonel Marcus Kotare (a character that was featured briefly in Mercenaries), for an unknown reason that is revealed later in game.[7] Once again, the player starts with inferior Inner Sphere mechs (pilots and mechs from original campaign cannot be exported into expansion), though both mechs and pilots are better than in the start of the original campaign. The expansion features a total of three campaigns. Aside from the missions, the expansion also includes a new soundtrack, new landscapes along with redesigned and new buildings, new weapons, three new mechs for each side—Stiletto, Bushwacker, and Mauler for IS and Shadow Cat, Nova Cat and Turkina for the Clan, and new vehicles including Alacorn, Pilum and Regulator tanks, as well as ammo trucks that also doubled as mobile bombs and Centipede scout vehicles.[8] Desperate Measures also acted as testbed for the concept of custom NPC mechs that had their own names (like Kotare's Turkina), weapon configurations and overall superiority to the standard modifications. This idea was carried on to, and greatly improved in, MechCommander 2. A compilation called MechCommander Gold was released in 1999 that includes the base game and the expansion.[9]Reception{{Video game reviews| GR = 80% [10] | Allgame = {{Rating|4.5|5}}[11] | CGM = {{Rating|3.5|5}}[12] | CGW = {{Rating|4|5}}[13] | GI = 8/10[14] | GameRev = {{Rating|4|5}}[15] | GSpot = 7.3/10[16] | IGN = 7.8/10[17] | rev1 = Next Generation| rev1Score = {{Rating|3|5}}[18] }} The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences nominated MechCommander for its 1998 "Strategy Game of the Year" award, although the game lost to Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.[19] MechCommander was a runner-up for Computer Games Strategy Plus{{'}}s 1998 "Real-Time Strategy Game of the Year" award, which ultimately went to StarCraft. The editors called MechCommander "great", but argued that "only StarCraft was stellar."[20] References1. ^{{cite web |title=MechCommander Downloads |url=http://www.mechcommander.org:80/downloads.html |publisher=FASA Studio |accessdate=October 24, 2018 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061027060034/http://www.mechcommander.org:80/downloads.html |archivedate=October 27, 2006 |language=en |date=2006}} 2. ^1 {{cite news |last1=Easley |first1=Joel |title=MechCommander puts you in control of universe |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/24833055/mechcommander_puts_you_in_control_of/ |accessdate=October 25, 2018 |work=Public Opinion |issue=5 |date=July 25, 1998 |page=1C |language=en}} 3. ^1 {{cite news |last1=Reed |first1=Jim |title=Mechs go real-time |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/24833009/mechs_go_realtime_by_jim_reed/ |accessdate=October 25, 2018 |work=The Tampa Tribune |issue=194 |date=August 14, 1998 |page=38 |language=en}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite news |last1=Clarke |first1=Stuart |title=Battle Stations |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/24832470/battle_stations_by_stuart_clarke/ |accessdate=October 25, 2018 |work=The Sydney Morning Herald |issue=50201 |date=July 25, 1998 |page=14 |language=en}} 5. ^{{cite web |last1=Alderman |first1=John |title=MechCommander on the Move |url=https://www.wired.com/1998/07/mechcommander-on-the-move/ |publisher=Wired |accessdate=October 25, 2018 |language=en |date=July 21, 1998}} 6. ^{{cite book|last=Tringham|first=Neal Roger|title=Science Fiction Video Games|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0o5qBAAAQBAJ|accessdate=October 29, 2018|date=September 10, 2014|publisher=CRC Press|language=en|isbn=978-1-4822-0388-2|page=334}} 7. ^{{cite book|last=Bell|first=Joe Grant|editor=Susan De Cicco|title=Mechcommander Gold|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dEQIAAAACAAJ|accessdate=October 29, 2018|date=August 25, 1999|publisher=Prima Games|language=en|isbn=978-0-7615-2227-0}} 8. ^{{cite web |title=MechCommander Gold (Game) |url=https://www.giantbomb.com/mechcommander-gold/3030-34364/ |website=Giant Bomb |accessdate=October 29, 2018 |language=en |date=2018}} 9. ^{{cite web |last1=Kasavin |first1=Greg |title=MechCommander Gold Review |url=https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/mechcommander-gold-review/1900-2542506/ |publisher=GameSpot |accessdate=October 29, 2018 |language=en |date=October 19, 1999}} 10. ^{{cite web |title=MechCommander for PC |url=https://www.gamerankings.com/pc/43368-mechcommander/index.html |publisher=GameRankings |accessdate=October 25, 2018 |language=en |date=2018}} 11. ^1 {{cite web |last1=House |first1=Michael L. |title=MechCommander |url=http://www.allgame.com/game.php?id=12046 |website=AllGame |accessdate=October 26, 2018 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141114160803/http://www.allgame.com/game.php?id=12046 |archivedate=November 14, 2014 |language=en |date=2014}} 12. ^1 {{cite web |last1=Mayer |first1=Robert |title=MechCommander Review |url=http://www.cdmag.com:80/articles/013/054/mech_commander_review.html |website=Computer Games Magazine |publisher=Strategy Plus, Inc |accessdate=October 26, 2018 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050207110525/http://www.cdmag.com:80/articles/013/054/mech_commander_review.html |archivedate=7 February 2005 |language=en |date=July 1998}} 13. ^1 {{cite magazine |last1=Loyd |first1=Case |date=October 1998 |title=One Small Step for MechKind |url=http://www.cgwmuseum.org/galleries/index.php?year=1998&pub=2&id=171 |magazine=Computer Gaming World |pages=267–268 |publisher=Ziff Davis |access-date=October 25, 2018}} 14. ^{{cite web|date=October 1998 |url=https://www.gameinformer.com/p/reviewarchive.aspx |title=Mech Commander |work=Game Informer |accessdate=October 25, 2018}} 15. ^1 2 {{cite web |last1=Ferris |first1=Colin |date=June 5, 2004 |url=https://www.gamerevolution.com/review/33255-honey-whered-you-put-the-keys-to-the-battlemech-review |title=Honey, where’d you put the keys to the Battlemech?
