MW4 HD ALL MAPS
If you need help with this file here is a walkthrough(below). You can also come on discord and talk to us if you need more specific directions.
1) Download the file in your browser of choice.
Tips if you have difficulties with large downloads:
A) If you have difficulties make sure your internet connectivity is good (if you have multiple devices you are able to connect to, choose the most stable one)
B) consider switching between different internet browsers if you find one works better than another for large downloads.
C) I have had the most success making large downloads work with bad internet connections by using the " mega app" + the mega.nz links. This is just me personally.
D) Tip for users with slow internet: A) You can tell your PC to not sleep (in the control panel) and then B) start the download right before you go to sleep
so that the download finishes while you sleep.
2) What you download is the actual game folder itself and the game launches from this folder so all you have to do is A) place the file where you want your game folder to be and B) unzip it. I recommend using WinZip(free). C) With Winzip, you simply right click on the downloaded file -> click "extract files".
3) Try to run the autoconfig from inside the game folder first. Click advanced and choose your desired resolution
and choose your graphics card. Then try a launch from the MW4.exe inside the game folder and check if your game launches.
Tips:
A) The game menu always appears in 800x600 resolution but once your start a mission your chosen resolution will appear.
B) Yes, everyones mechs spin fast in the mechlab.
C) Use alt-enter to switch between full screen and window mode while tinkering with resolution settings.
4) From here if your game doesn't start on its own please check this walkthrough out and / or come chat with us on discord.
Mechlab transfer:
If you already have a MW4 game installed and want to transfer your mechs to a new MW4 game, you simply copy the files in this folder:
Your OLD MW4 Game folder -> resources -> variantsMTMP3
to ->
Your NEW MW4 Game folder -> resources -> variantsMTMP3
The variants MTMP3 folder is the folder that holds all of your built mechs in the game folder.
Tips:
A) Feel free to copy that variants folder(the variants folder with your mechs in it) on to a flash drive/google drive if you always want to have a copy of your mechlab for keeps.
B) I usually delete the stock mechs [ -> Control + A (select all) -> Delete key -> ] out of the variants folder that are there with the MW4 install, then I copy and paste in all of my saved mechs. Most online MW4 pilots do not use stock mechs. Also, you can always add stock mechs back in in the mechlab if you want a stock version of a mech. For this reason, I generally delete all stock mechs out of my mechlab so that I do not have to click past them every time I choose a mech.
Should I play MW4 HD or MW4 NOT HD?
MW4 HD
1) Some buildings and objects are re-textured but the maps are the same layout.
2) Some mechs are re-textured
3) a few weapons look different when fired
4) In general, this is a version that re-textures content in the game. Some changes you will like some changes you won't.
5) This is not a version of MW4 that takes MW4 up to modern day graphics, it's just a different version of the game with different textures.
MW4 NOT HD
1) This is the standard MW4 mercenaries game the way it was released in the stores
2) It is not of less graphic quality it just uses more original textures. Some of the older designed textures date back to MW4 vengeance.
In the end, choose whichever you like... or, don't choose: download both and switch between game folders - just make sure to transfer your mechs into the game folder you plan on using to play. Each game folder is its own copy of the game with its own mechlab and settings.
