"Will you be a living legend or a forgotten casualty?"

By the 31st century, humanity has spread to thousands of worlds, while a handful of powerful empires wage continual war for the right to rule the stars. Foremost among the weapons used in that struggle are BattleMechs. Loaded with auto cannons, missile launchers, lasers, and charged-particle beam weapons, these fusion-powered war machines of articulated armor stand upward of ten meters high. Piloting them are MechWarrior’s, the best, most intensively trained men and women available. Like the armored knights of an earlier age, MechWarrior’s are popular heroes, and their exploits are the stuff of legends.

MechWarrior: Living Legends (MWLL) is a total conversion modification for Crysis. MWLL is at its very core a mix between a First Person Shooter (FPS) and a Simulation (SIM). This will be achieved through the use of a mixed arms massively multiplayer gaming experience where the player takes part in a battle using a variety of vehicles and weapons. MWLL is using the concepts pioneered by the “Battlefield” franchise and more recently Crysis, of a sandbox feel where you get to play what you want and how you want it. MWLL depicts the epic struggles between the two factions of Battletech “The Clans” and “The Inner Sphere”. Maps will typically have a mix of vehicles and infantry combat, using both of these to complete objectives as a team will be essential to winning rounds or campaigns in MWLL. In the project we will be bringing some of the legends of “MechWarrior” franchise back to life with new art and animations that do justice to these huge weapons of war and also do something that’s never be done before using the deep universe of Battletech. There are so many facets to Battletech and finally comes a title that is willing to explore them.

Major Features:

  • Massive, highly detailed outdoor environments.
  • Epic multiplayer missions that thrusts players into an ever-changing environment, forcing them to adapt their tactics and approach to conquer battlefields ranging from desert to tundra to alpine.
  • Take control of over 28 unique Battlemechs, 4 unique Tanks, 6 original ground vehicles and 8 different types of aircraft including vtol’s.

  • Take into your hands one of the 15+ handheld weapons and use them against the enemy, be is assault rifles, mini-grenades, laser rifles or hand held Particle Projector Cannons.
  • Updated game play engine brings the immense locations to life complete with realistic physics and dynamic lighting.

  • Team-Based, Strategic Missions

Four Variants: IS_Harasser

What used to be an extremely mobile and swift missile plattform, has now become a real weapons plattform: the Inner Sphere's Harasser. See below the four variants you'll find in the first public playable version of MWLL. The vehicle itself is undergoing extensive remodeling at this time, which is why the version in this screenshot does only have placeholder textures on.

New particle effects: Mech jumpjets & Aerospace engine blasts

Any possibility of an Open Beta for playtesting? I know your videos still say Alpha or Pre-Alpha release but surely by the look of things you guys are pretty advanced in the development.

Anyhow, keep it up, this is a lot of work but it surely will be the best Total Conversion for Crysis by far! (cry) *badum tisss* XD
