Greetings MechWarriors,
MechWarrior Universe is pleased to announce a new page for the community, the MechWarrior 4 Development Team Message Board. This page will be updated
by various members of the Development Team, and is an effort to forge a more
direct line of communication to MechWarrior fans. News of updates, tips for multiplayer games, or mission
editing -- anything of general interest -- will be posted there, straight from the source.
This Board will not replace team posts in fan site forums; but instead complement them, and is
intended as an additional means of ensuring that the most important messages can be seen by everyone.
The Message Board is now live, with an introductory message, at:

MEDIA ALERT: FEBRUARY 5, 2001

MECHCOMMANDER 2 CINEMATIC SWEEPSTAKES NOW UNDERWAY
Microsoft today announced that the MechCommander 2 Cinematic Sweepstakes is now underway on the game's
official Web site, at
http://www.microsoft.com/Games/mechcommander2/
The winner will receive a trip for two to Los Angeles later this month, and a role as an extra in the
opening cinematic of MechCommander 2.
To be eligible to win, contestants must fill out the entry form located on the official MechCommander 2 site. The
sweepstakes is open from now until February 7, 2001, 11:59 PM PST, and the winner will be announced on
February 9, 2001. As always, be sure to read the official rules before entering.
MechCommander 2 gives gamers more than amazing gameplay -- it draws them into the rich, 16-year history of
the BattleTech Universe. Players will be immersed in intense tactical gameplay, commanding up to a dozen
enormous BattleMechs in real-time combat, where outsmarting the enemy is their key to
victory.
MechCommander 2 is fully 3D, with state-of-the-art terrain that can be maneuvered to the gamer's advantage. Players can knock down trees, blow
through walls, jump-jet onto cliffs and step on things standing in their way
to victory!
While a lone MechWarrior can wield up to 100 tons of "Mechanized" death, the
MechCommander rules the battlefield from above, imposing his strategic will and mastering all he surveys. When he issues an order to
jump, MechWarriors obey. When something needs to be destroyed, the MechCommander need only
finger the target. He rules the battlefield with an iron fist, commanding his units from the orbital dropship.
MechCommander 2 will also include full support for Internet play, with matchmaking available on Zone.com
(http://www.zone.com/). For more information on the game, visit:
