MechWarrior 4 'Mech Paks.

The MechWarrior® 4 'Mech Paks will expand the gameplay for the best-selling, award-winning MechWarrior 4: Vengeance, based on the popular game of mechanized combat from FASA Studios™. Each Pak will give players new 'Mechs, a new electronics package, a new weapon, and a multiplayer map. Cyberlore, the team behind the successful MechWarrior 4: Black Knight expansion, is developing the Paks in conjunction with the FASA MechWarrior 4 team. The MechWarrior 4: Inner Sphere 'Mech Pak will be available in retail locations throughout North America in May. The Clan 'Mech Pak will be available this Summer.

The Inner Sphere 'Mech Pak will contain the following four 'Mechs:

* Coliseum Multiplayer Map - 'Mechs duke it out in a gigantic arena, entertaining millions
* Heavy Gauss Rifle - The HGR hits harder than the standard Gauss Rifle, at the expense of tonnage and range
* IFF Jammer - This cutting-edge tech lets the new Inner Sphere 'Mechs spread confusion in the enemy's ranks

* Zeus – A classic Inner Sphere design, the Zeus is an extremely reliable long-range Assault 'Mech (80 tons)
* Highlander - A massive jump-capable Assault 'Mech and signature 'Mech of the Northwind Highlanders mercenary unit (90 tons)
* Hunchback - Easily identified by its oversized shoulder-mount auto-cannon, the Hunchback is a tough brawler armed for short-range combat (50 tons)
* Dragon - A speedy all-around frontline striker and a favored 'Mech of House Kurita commanders (60 tons)

The Clan 'Mech Pak will feature the following four 'Mechs:

* Factory Multiplayer Map - Combatants fight for position amid the ruins of a huge factory on Solaris
* Streak MRM - A new, homing version of the Medium Range Missile, made possible by Clan technology
* Enhanced Optics - This component of the new Clan 'Mechs gives the MechWarrior a larger field of view when zooming in on distant targets

* Masakari - Easily identified by its squat torso, jutting head, and broad chest, this 'Mech has become notorious for its deadly accuracy (85 tons)
* Kodiak - A large, fast-moving Assault 'Mech that carries impressive medium-range firepower (100 tons)
* Arctic Wolf - Loaded with SRMs, this BattleMech can rapidly close with an enemy and shower it with more than 40 missiles (40 tons)
