Your game left an impression on a lot of us. theres no other mod that I keep checking back on like this one. Not even many AAA game developers have that kind of public awareness so you should probably take advantage of it as much as possible.
I was pleasantly surprised at how polished and fun this was. Great work guys.
I think the secret here is the mod authors kept the scope of the game manageable rather than attempt to match a full sized retail product. They also kept the learning curve low and intuitive. The art style reminds me somewhat of Bandits: Phoenix Rising (one og GRIN interactive's early and underappreciated post-apocalyptic car combat game).
I would like to see mouse steering implemented with a dedicated mouselook button that would switch one to weapon aiming when used.
Otherwise, just a fantastic effort all around, kudos!
great job guys, the maps look particularly impressive.
speaking of legalities, please tell me ya'll have permission to use the taunts from the original? the game just wouldn't feel the same without a "F*CK YOU, YA F*CK!!" for autheticities sake ;)
Absolutely fantastic guys. I had so little faith and that this would end up as another group of know-it-alls who started a Battletech mod only to drop it once things got difficult. Glad to see myself proven wrong.
Also, the new laser FX looks fantastic! The biggest problem with laser FX in most games is that there is no reaction at the hit point. You guys seem to have put in some smoke and flashing FX which should give great visual feedback. Ya'll should Amp it up even more with Particles and a loud "*crack* on impact. Just firing a weapon in any game should be fun and addictive in and of itself. You want to feel powerful and that you are doing damage. It's the one thing many devs seem to not understand.

You seem to keep harping the fact that you have the support of one of the principles. No one knows what you did to convince him, whether he was paid off or whatever (laugh, but crazier stuff has happened in other mods). The basic fact is you backdoored a teams forums, stole their assets and took over. You may have legal rights now but morally and ethically you are still ....well....a piece of sh*t.
All I can say is you better hope your mod is flawless because you've set yourself up to look like complete jackasses if it isn't.
Tremendous work as usual guys. Kind of a bummer that theres no movie this month but I'm sure you have enough to do as it is.
BTW, why the ad for new level people? Did you lose some warm bodies?

I'm here because I'm a cheap bastiage and like free games! ;)
Probably one of the most underrated shooters I can think of. Keep up the good work guys. This game deserved more attention.
Just to let you know, the only reason I'm keeping UT3 installed on my rig is for this mod. Keep up the good work guys.

"tease" is an understatement.....yeesh! You guys are giving me the gaming equivalent of blue balls.
Awesome mesh work, my kudos to the 3D team. In particular I love the Odin.
Keep it up!

look at the "major feature" list. I'll be ecstatic if they can get even half of that, never mind SP....heh.
I'm crossing my fingers that if they do well enough perhaps Crytek or even EA might help fund them.
you ARE aware that Firearms came before CS, correct?
Excellent guys. One of my favorite MP maps from the original.

anyhow, good luck and keep up the good work.

Fantastic work guys. Can't wait to see what a Battlemech looks like standing in the sunshine....
I'm constantly amazed at the quality of work from this ambitious mod.
Great job guys. keep 'em coming.
Super idea for a mod guys. Tower defense flash games are my favorite time waster during the day so I'm completely stoked for this.
good luck.
