Mechwarrior Living Legends

[iamangry]

Didn't see anything about this posted anywhere else, but some of you all might be interested.

Mechwarrior Living Legends is a free total modification for Crysis which basically turns it into mechwarrior 4 but with pilotable non-mech vehicles as well. Its been out for a little bit, but I just got my first play session in tonight. My verdict: awesome nostalgic beauty. If anyone played the old MW series and has Crysis lying around unused, here is a GREAT excuse to polish the dust off of it.

I recently started playing Crysis SP again - just up to the part after getting through the mountain and now I'm fighting the alien probe thingies. I'll have to give this mod a try.

Mechwarrior games were definitely a big time favorite for me. Must read more.

[Bigy]

Cool vid :)

[LockeCPM4]

That trailer looks awesome.

[iamangry]

yeah I'm stoked for the new Mechwarrior as well, but I'm thinking its firmly in vapor-ware territory at the moment thanks to Harmony Gold and their epic sucking. In the meantime, I think mwll is the best alternative around. Glad to see some other FLOT's are in to the battletech universe!

[GrossKopf]

You're joking about MW2, right?

BC2 is the next big game. MW2's place was taken by L4D2 thanks to IW and Activision.

I think he meant "mwll" as "MWLL" -- meaning Mechwarrior Living Legends, rather than MW2. :)

[Dark_Night202]

:agree:

Ah! now THAT makes sense! :)

Does anyone have a good link to download the 1.0 mod? I have the hotfix and 1.1 patch. I tried downloading it from File Planet, but as it starts to download, it keeps going back to 0 and restarting the download. Downloading from moddb is going at about 50kb/sec and to get their list of mirrors, you have to create an account.

its just kind of...eh

ive never been into the whole laser thing...kind of what turned me off to red alert 3....just a bit too...unrealistic to me...i dunno

[Dark_Night202]

unrealism, youll be a great person to try the MW3 beta then ;)
you can wash humvees, guard gates for hours and stare into the distance and think

[GrossKopf]

its just kind of...eh

ive never been into the whole laser thing...kind of what turned me off to red alert 3....just a bit too...unrealistic to me...i dunno

...and gunships, titans and sentry guns ARE realistic? :)

[synergy]

different...at least you still fire a weapon, not shoot a high intensity beam at people....the sound of a laser going phew to an mg firing is a bit different in my mind...

btw, ive never liked titan mode, perhaps, because it isn't very realistic

[Dark_Night202]

MechWarriors have mgs on :D
they arent very effective mind but still they have them
Mech 4 is such a god game,
Ended up having a full team, each one of them with either an atlas or awesome, all equipped with PPC (i think they're called that)

[Snarky]

...and gunships, titans and sentry guns ARE realistic? :)

well sentry guns are under development, IFF isn't up to snuff. Also they appeared in Aliens :)

that vid is tight! The warhammer vs the Assault mech with the class 20 autocannon GAWd! I'm a dork.

Actually the propagation of laser weapons makes far more sense in the long term than classic projectile weapons. Consider that, already the USAF has a working prototype of a laser which can take down a missile at 200 miles and the army has a similar device that they're working on mounting to a humvee. If you ask me, the unrealistic part of 2142 was that there weren't any laser weapons of any kind present on the battlefield. At least lasers exist, shields (active defense, the green halo, whatever you want to call it) do not. I was always a fan of the PPC, but if you're in a desert map you're going to be done if all you have is beam weapons. I normally went with gauss rifles and LBXAC20's instead depending on the situation. Lets face it, there are few things as satisfying as firing a hypersonic bullet the size of a coke can at someone. Or a shotgun the size of a car lol.



One more thing.... if they have the energy to make a titan float or block a tank shell you'd think they'd have the energy to fire a short 1 MW burst of laser at an anti titan missile and just take it down. Just sayin...

[Solrift]

its the military.. it prolly wasnt "cost effective" to save lives.

[MattDW]

Lol..... I dont know how much you guys are into MW, but if you notice my avatar some of you might recognize it if your hardcore fans. also, some of you are taking about the PPC, there are 2 types of the PPC the classic version is a ball shot at a show velocity (the version in MW2) the second is the higher velocity blast (instantaneous) found in MW3 and MW4. On another note, i never liked lasers, i always equipped missiles and a PPC or Gause rifle. additionally when i was younger i almost refused to play any other meach except for the summoner.

[synergy]

i don't mean realism in the form of straight realism, what i mean is, i don't really get a hard on watching a beam of light shoot across a screen and hearing a laser "burst" like i do actual projectiles...when i picture being in a battlefield, (or any kind of war) i don't picture lasers...lol, but of course, I have never fought in any war...I'm just speaking personally what I imagine...and what turns me off to lasers and such...

[Bigy]

:unsure:so what ur saying is u get off on bullets, wouldnt that ruin the ammunition...

[MattDW]

Clan Wolf i believe right
