Folks may want to wait a few days before trying this download. On the Mektek forum you see tons of people having download issues not just related to slow or bogged down servers but with the MTX client itself. Many people are finding bugs in the game or just cannot get it working.

If you have the game and it runs fine, count yourself one of the lucky ones.

It seems Mektek was really not ready for this release like they thought. They should have spent a little more time making sure everything went more smoothly before release. It would have made lots of people much happier.

Yeah.. your the lucky ones. See all the threads here with the folks having problems:
http://www.mektek.net/forums/index.php?showforum=116

Perhaps you guys can help me out with my problem with the MTX client.

(Copied from my thread at Mektek - http://www.mektek.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=156291)

" Title: Can't get MTX Working: Instruction conflicts

It seems some of the info on this forum is conflicting with what MTX says. Follow me here.

I don't use torrents at all but I tried some years ago. I didn't like them at all too slow. I downloaded MTX and it told me it timed out trying to connect to the server. Nothing showed under the Games to install window, so I could not select the MW4 game for download. At first I thought it was just having connection problems because so many people are trying to download the game.

I thought I would try HTML mode, and saved and restarted.. still nothing.. so I thought I would make sure my ports were forwarded so I could use the torrrent download. I followed the instructions in this thread: Information For People With Port Forwarding Issues http://www.mektek.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=139334

It had me set up 6 different applications with port ranges for the router to open. I rebooted. Opened MTX and I got the same results. Then I noticed there is a port checker built into MTX that wants to check port 57030. The instructions in the port forwarding post above and the port forwardin web site it refers you to never mention this port number to make openable. <-- That is the problem with the instructions here in the forum.

If that post above, "Information For People With Port Forwarding Issues" is not the correct post for the help on how to set up MTX then I cannot find any other.

Perhaps someone should write a more clear instruction post for us newbies.

Clicking on Online Help in the MTX program just gives me a blank page.

I still do not seem to have a working MTX in either HTML or Torrent mode.. nothing shows in the download list even if I do not get a timed out error message.

Someone please write a better help post for getting MTX working. Thanks BTW I am using 1.0.3.5 version, windows 7. I DID set the port 57030 to open in my router. I added the range with a new name from 57030 to 57030. Still nothing. "

Anyone wanna take a crack at it?

Big MW fan, after reading this I went and found my MW Vengence discs just to be sure they were still around(even found my quick reference card right close too)

So of course I went to Mektek right away and installed MTX...YAY how many hoops a guy gotta jump thru to get it working??
I am d/l the base file thru utorrent anyway and will try to actually use MTX to install it tomorrow.

I am really hoping the legal BS gets sorted out with MW 5 because that trailer was just so drool worthy and just such a tease....
