I got them both right before Christmas, and I have enjoyed using most, if not all, of the mechs on both mech paks. I do have a few favorites though. On the Inner Sphere: I have variants of all four that I think rock. On the Clan: The Warhawk and Cauldron born are probably my faves with the Kodiak a close third. (I have a variant that seems to annoy my friends to death  ) Above and beyond the mechs themselves are the new maps, new weapons and new electronic gear. These things may not be the end all be all, but they add a nice bit of variety to the game. As an added bonus they both have the latest patch (IIRC) that takes several hours for those of us without broadband to download, so I have no complaints. Oh, I almost forgot, you can use them with MW4 Mercs as well, which gives that game a lot of nice shiny new mechs to beat your friends with....

I think they're raping gamers.
For $16 - $20 you can get Black Knight Expansion
-5 New mechs
-5 New multiplayer game types
-9 New Weapon systems
-Deployable Vehicles
-Whole new campaign using about 20 or so new missions
For your 10 - 13(20 - 26 for both)
-4 New Mechs
-1 New Map
-1 New Weapon
-1 New Electronic Gizmo
Now to get technical, giving 1 point per item provided (mechs, weapons, maps, what not) and dividng that by lowest cost gives you how much you get per dollar you spend. Resulting in:
Mech4BK: 2.5 (not counting individual vehicles)
MechPak: 0.7 (and this is just 1 pack)
So in my little world Mechwarrior 4 Black Knight is 3 1/2 times more valuable then the mech packs and for their price to be considered reasonable they would have to be priced around 4.99 each.

If the tools were available, anyone could have made their own mech pak in little more then a month.

Can you play the mechs in the campaign play? I've been debating on whether to buy them or not, because I've seen almost all the mechs in campaign play. I already have Mercs, anything you can tell me about this will be helpful.

No, the extra mechs are not available in campaign play, but rather you can play through each single player mission in one during an instant action stint, they were designed for multiplay... It also bugs me that you can't use all the mechs (from mercs, BK, etc) at one time, you have to put in a different disc to use that game's mechs... there should be a combination program, at least for online play... would add a whole lot of variety and replay value, eh? And what's up with not being able to blow legs off? It just stays there and the mech limps until destroyed... Pretty Weak, Microsuck...
