Ok I just started playing it again... I thought I remember outfitting an all Flamer varient and simply cooking the opponent mechs to kill the pilot and get tons of near perfiect salvage.... But I'm not getting salvage this time around.... Am I missing something... whats happening with all those monoliths scattered around the battlefield in my wake?

Depends. If you get the patch, it will work. If you put the 'virgin' version on your computer, salvage is scripted into the game.
Yea, verily. Let it be known far and wide that Nightward loathes MW: DA. Indeed, it is with the BURNING ANIMUS OF A THOUSAND SUNS that he doth rage against it with.

I made a *POINT* of head-shooting Dire Wolves and didn't salvage so much as a single Heat Sink from them...

Well, the 18 meg patch is if you want all the 3d stuff.
Otherwise it should be much less.

A buddy of mine claims to have salvaged an aircraft once and even was able to fly it in missions. Anyone else heard of that?

There was a mod somebody made for Mercs that let you fly aircraft, but this would not have been possible in standard mercs.

It happened to me once in the Titanium Trilogy. THe fighter belonged to a pilot I had hired. He was killed and the fighter was there as salvage. You can pilot it too. It only move forward and backwards, and can turn.

My computer is powerful enough to run 3D Accelerated Mercs when it is shut down. TYhat was just the size of the patch Activision put out. I did not want to wait for 4 hours (I have a 56K Modem) to D/L the thing.

OK. I just pointed out that there should be a patch available
WITHOUT the 3D stuff they tacked on later. This one would,
I imagine, be much smaller in size and so faster to DL.

When I was playing MW2 Mercs, my crab (or was it a bushwhacker?) came back from every mission 5 tons lighter. Without losing any equipment. I eventually ran out of crit locations. Made for a very nasty 'Mech, though.

Every time I get salvage in Mercs it tries to hide some of it so that I can't find it. I have to sit there and click each slot to find what I want. :D

I read your posts again and saw what you actually wanted from the patch, ie get rid of scripted salvage. Sorry to say
that`s only in the last, 1.1 patch w 3D textures etc. Size is
18 megs which isn`t nice. I remember it took me over one hour
to DL it back when I`d bought a Voodoo 2 card.

It would take my computer about 6 hours to D/L that patch. You'd think these IT wizards would realise that not everybody has Cable access and/or 2.8 K processors...

Well, a friend of mine ordered ADSL when he moved.
The ISP did deliver, but for some reason his PC goes
unstable, the ADSL card loses the connection after
a few weeks and needs a new installation of the OS
in order to run again. Computers are strange. Imagine if
Microsoft did mech software :)

You're thinking of MicroProse. Not like that is any better. After playing MW3 I'm begining to see why my father dislikes MP. Do you suppose that MicroProse is the second half of Microsoft? ;)

You are aware that, per the terms of the licence you agreed to when installing (unless it's changed), you are granting MS full control and ownership over EVERYTHING you transmit via MSN Messenger. Business ideas, stories, EVERYTHING.
