= 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.

one thing i notice here is how one mech in particular looks like a Tomahawk Destroid from Macross/Robotech, only major difference between the two is there is an extra gun where the missile pod should be... was this particular model in the Mech Warrior series originally?
or is it some hidden tribute to the 80's mech series?
Thats a Warhammer, an Inner-sphere heavy mech armed with dual PPCs, several MGs, an SRM 6 pack on the shoulder and 3 lasers.
That one shown however i think has a PPC on the shoulder rather than the SRM 6
awesome mod keeps getting better and better every update! hope it is finished soon! this will be #1 on my list!
the images loooks awesome
You know most games come out in the fall so they will get you exited for X-mas. Maybe If the MW LL team can have the release date on fall so that you guys can get Crysis in Kwanzaa or X-mas etc.
No offense.
Rawr!
this mod will force me to buy the game
no, you will need the original crysis game to run this as it is a mod after all. Don't be that concerned though, new hardware gets cheaper all the time and to make a machine that runs this isn't that expensive. And you can find copies on the internet of Crysis for around $20. That's a bargain!
The status of mod does not guarantee that said mod is not stand alone. The Babylon 5 mod for Freespace 2 is proof of this.
