This patch focuses around some UI/Chat changes and bug fixes that are meant to make the menus easier to use as well as see when others are online better. Using these new changes, we hope players will be able to find MP games easier with others playing. Change log for this patch is listed below. Patch 0.2.2.008 Notes: * Change main menu to have Single Player option and moved campaign and instant action under it so its clear that campaign and Instant action are single player content * Multiplayer now defaults to 7 bots max now like Instant Action. * Global chat now stays connected, your name changes to have -ingame when you go into a game and you now emote what you are doing when loading into a match/test range/etc. * Added a new easier join screen for multiplayer instead of requiring the use of server list. Server list is still available if you prefer the old way. * Fixed a bug where the global chat and in match chats had the input limited to 45 characters. * Fixed a bug where the bottom chat line was cut off in global chat once it started scrolling. * Fixed the global chat user popup to read better when over news.

Mechanized warfare is reborn! Welcome to Mechanized Corps: Rebirth. Set in the critically acclaimed Dark Horizons Universe, this reimagining of Max Gaming's 2016 action shooter,  Dark Horizons Mechanized Corps, follows the success of 2024's tabletop wargame.

THE SETTING

The year is 2361. Three hundred years have passed since Cold War rivalries culminated in nuclear war. Humankind has expanded beyond the Earth, colonized the SOL system, colossal space stations hang in orbit, and Mars has claimed independence. Governments and corporations now struggle to control the system's natural resources and giant walking war machines, collectively known as Mechanized Corps (MCs).

The SOL system is in relative peace, with Factions (Nations, Corporations, Mercenaries, and Trade guilds) settling differences in minor skirmishes or arena-style battles.  How long will this peace last and degrade back to massive battles?

GAMEPLAY

Players take control of these Mechanized Corp units, armed to the teeth with Gatling guns, missiles, lasers, and more. Fight offline or online and earn credits to improve your machine with more powerful weapons, flight systems, shields, cloaking devices, and orbital bombardments.

Fighting for their faction or taking up arms as corporate mercenaries, MCs currently fight in large combat zones in the squad-on-squad challenges to head off all-out war.

Mechanized Corps (MCs)

Select from four classes: Scout, Infantry, Heavy, and Assault, with four different chassis.

Each MC is fully customizable, with engines, jump jets, and dozens of weapons and equipment choices. You can also apply custom paint jobs to stand out from the crowd or blend in with your squadmates.

Tailor your MC to fit your play style, choose your battlefield role, and build the most lethal machine. Destroy the opposing team before the clock runs out!
