= MechWarrior: Living Legends ="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.

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.
More shiny stuff! New particle effects have been added for Mech jumpjets as well as aerospace engine blasts.
Just recently, a new member joined the MWLL Developer team: Gibbage, who will be working on the cockpits. Some of the results of this work are shown below: a couple of WIP shots of an Inner Sphere cockpit.
Exploding Mech core are supposed to be monumental and impressive, which is why they're under permanent observation and examination. The result of this process is yet another updated set of particle effects. Check them out below!
Again, here are a few pictures from this week's playtest.

Sweet Jesus man I just watched the new video. Wow man this is really quality here guys. It looks like the game we have been waiting for. I don't even think MW5 will be able to compare. Awesome man can't wait!
Will MW LL Work with Steam?
I am 100% impressed with the month by month updates and improvements! This mod has got to be the TOP on my list of watched mods. I have watched this mod from inception/first post here at ModDb till now.
To the Devs - brilliance... I am thoroughly impressed ..... and offer myself up for BETA testing... my system is more then well equipped to run MW:LL - my crysis is patched - and Id love to be onboard the team.
please, my contact info is contained in my profile here, and Id feel it an honor to partake in such a fantastic, amazeing and well thought out mod.
Matt.
I hope the final animations are closer to mechwarrior 3 than mechwarrior 4
I hope so too, but from what I've seen from the videos they made their own effects, which look pretty awesome. :P
I can't wait for this mod to come out. x3
fucking nice! >:~3
wow another reason to get better pc and crysis
take as much time as you guys n girls need this keeps getting better n better, id rather have a great looking and working game than a rushed and buggy game
I have been watching this mod for like a year now and i have got to say OMG best mod ever, but could we please c a beta soon. BTW I LOVE MECH WARROIR I ALLWAYS HAVE
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
