Not only the game (originally released in 2002) is a true gem that no similar title released after it could ever equal, but it's now completely free for everyone to enjoy.
All you have to do is to go to the MekTek website, download and install their proprietary client, go on Available games and select MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries. The client will download and install it for you and will also keep it updated (since MekTek plans on supporting it further).
In the years the game has received several improvements and additions, that are all included in this shiny package: Several new mechs and weapons have been added, the online gameplay has been revamped and rebalanced, and support for higher resolutions has been enabled.
Initially the download will probably be a bit slow, given that it's torrent-based, but don't give up, it'll speed up after a few minutes. If you missed the game back in 2002, but even if you already played it, this is your chance to relive one of the most glorious science-fiction franchises of the gaming industry (and that includes video games, board war-games and RPGs).
EDIT: at the moment the MekTek site is being hammered by thousands of download requests, so if it appears down, just retry later :D
