MechCommander Omnitech mod

Oh, not to mention, now one has to play on ELITE difficulty level to get a kick out of it. In MC2.5 I got my *** whooped @ NORMAL most of the time in Exodus, now its like taking candy from a baby.

Example:
Difficulty: Normal
C1M3 Ambrosia Pirates - Twitch (Regular; Laser proficiency) in Cougar (2x CSHL, 1x CMHL, 2x CEMBL, 2x Armour, 1x DHS) kicks 2x Mad Dog + 1x Summoner on its own and barely get scratched. (in MC2.5 I got near and lost my head with a shot or two)

All in all, im sticking with MC2.5 + Exodus 2.0 + Unofficial patch

This is made to easy :\

Ok, I have just completed the MW2 Mercs Campaign. It is the single worst campaign for MC2 <b>EVER</b>.
The recipe so far:
Take random Carver 5 missions, reskin ground, strip resource buildings, put SL era mechs instead of new designs and wrap it into something called a campaign.
I cant help it but to rate it 0/10.

The lack of infinite ammo is a thing I must also grade: it sucks; sure it does put realism into the game, but It got me playing as a laserboy. Every single pilot was upgraded with laser/er laser and ppc skill. It just took the fun out of the game. All other skills were made obsolete with this single stroke of genius.

I would understand a move like that in a game as MW2/MW3/MW4 etc. which is a FPS, but not in MC2.

To put it short.

<B>THE PARTS OF THE GAME THAT ARE ORIGINAL (mission with fog and mobile artilery) ARE NOT GOOD AND THE PARTS THAT ARE GOOD (stolen from carver5) ARE NOT ORIGINAL</B>

Way to go Magic and Co.

Ive been waiting for this ever since it was announced.

Id love to see a changelog somewhere, especially interested in changes to the Exodus campaign (it has some rough edges, plus the salvage could be more bountyfull in a couple of missions).

Anyway. Keep up the great work guys

Well any models or code used will be cited in both the credits and in a credits file. It would be great if the code was open source but I understand that your leaving that to the coders themselves to decide.

The main reason I ask is that I want both the old client and the new one I'm making to be able to play together online. This means the networking code must match exactly and pass the same information in the same way which is very hard to do without the code.

I'll probable be playing the alpha as soon as I get the chance to see the changes you have made and make the changes to mine as well.

Let me know If and when any code or models are posted so we can see the origionals.

Good job guys! My team looked at doing this a year ago but we found the code to be way too archaic! Also I think The engine of the game needs to be completely overhauled but so far you guys have done more than I thought would be possible with the code in the state it is in.

Although Starman I would like to know if you are releasing your changes open source so everyone could have access to the new models/code in there origional editable format and also if you are making higher poly models to use with the game. As my team is working on a new source code based on the origional and your changes would be welcome to add to our new source code. The reason we decided to do this is because unless you rebuild the rendering engine you can only do so much. So any insight you are willing to procide would be a great asset to our project which in the end will probable be completely open source

It's a little more challenging. It's an older project from Magic. The RP points and money are more limited, mech salvage at mission end is disabled most of the time. You start with new (weaker) units and the enemy is using new units too. Besides that, your pilotrooster is also smaller, so you are limited with mechs in the field and in mission mech salvage. It's not perfectly balanced, but makes still fun :-)

I loved MC2 back in the day, you guys kick ***!! Good luck on this project, its one I'm definately going to keep an eye on...downloading now.

What do you mean by "upgraded and rebalanced Carver 5 campaign"?
