It is with great pride that I announce the immediate release of MechWarrior: Living Legends 0.5.0 Open Beta.
In addition to numerous bug fixes, performance improvements and gameplay additions this release adds the long-outstanding Solaris Arena gamemode to the list of playable game types with none other than the supremely talented voice actor George Ledoux to reprise his role as the original voice of Solaris Arena announcer Duncan Fisher.

Great news as I mentioned before. Covered this on Mod Sentry: Modsentry.com
Awesomeness. Just plain awesomeness.
Cyrsis Wars is free, right?
i doubt it.
Crysis Wars is not free, but you should be able to get it for about $10. It comes bundled with Crysis Warhead, for which it is the multiplayer part.
