Are you guys going to make it so you can still walk (albeit slower) on one leg?
You can walk with one leg damaged, but once it's destroyed you can't. It wouldn't make sense to be able to walk if your leg was crippled.
Thank you guys! :D This mod is the best Mechwarrior game EVER!
I love the way this mod looks and the ppl following it but the buggy release really kind of killed this mod for me. Going to give the installation a go again and hopefully I will change my mind
Hmmm first video , owens vs a Awesome(and friends)? eek! Second video I noticed, heavy gauss has no recoil currently? Evil.
Heavy Gauss as of latest patch though does have a drop off after 300m (that video was done before latest patch).
Also heavy recoil isn't something that really "happens" with heavy tank/mech platforms as they are large enough, heavy enough, and designed in a way that it wouldn't affect the aim (this is true for many IRL tanks too). Especially taking into consideration that a gauss rifle IRL would have no recoil at all: it's a weapon that works via superheated plasma and magnetic propulsion. Recoil happens when you shoot using explosives (like in a traditional gun/cannon).
Being that MWLL has a strong focus on tank-mech "sim-like" combat, the only unit in the game who operates like a traditional FPS are the Battle Armor.
I think he was aluding to Battletech. the heavy gauss rifle gives you a chance of falling over if you fire it unbraced, it's one of its game-balancing factors. I'm sure they found a balance compromise. It might do less damage in MWLL. Your thoughts about recoil not effecting tanks isn't exactly true: a Striker MGS for example can't fire to the side without tipping over; but it is also irrelevant since this is a fun game, not a simulation. :)
Actually, recoil affects everything - it's due to Newton's third law. As the gauss rifle exerts a force on the projectile through magnetic fields, the projectile exerts the exact same force back on the rifle. In fact as it happens it's much easier to make an explosively propelled weapon recoil-less since the explosive doesn't need to act 'against' the weapon itself (you could make the barrel open at the back), whereas it's the gauss rifle itself which propels the slug.
Freakin awesome! Downloading... :3
grah I want this. But I can't even play Crysis on its own!
Whoa so complicated.
But it sounds like fun once things get going. This is why PC gaming's great.
