What is the Battlepack Edition?

0

Battlepack was released in March of 1997 and like the later Titanium Trilogy, it included three CD’s that had revised versions of the MW2 series, in this case: MW2, GBL, & Netmech. (Unlike Titanium, the third CD was not Mercenaries, but just Netmech packaged seperately). Also differing from the later Titanium Trilogy/Series, it was *not* hardware accelerated, with the main change for the Battlepack Edition being the use of the Mercs 1.0 game engine in MW2 and GBL. This gave these new versions some visual enhancements, but they still were only software rendered. Also, the Battlepack version of Netmech was *not* compatible with the other versions of DOS/Win95 Netmech already out at the time (a bad decision) and lead the mulitplayer part of Battlepack into quick obscurity online. Apparently the 8-bit Titanium versions are the same thing as the Battlepack Edition (once again, source is a USENET post by Dan K.) and I believe that the Titanium 8-bit Netmech is compatible with its Battlepack
