How is it negative? I merely stating what the facts are.

We all know the facts, but I and I'm sure most do have faith in this mod team.

It was what got me into the mechwarrior on PC, I do share your love for it as well. I spent so many hours, it was a amazing game for its time.

Well the awesome part of it is, the mod team already has professionals working, and I know a few people have already been hired by Crytek and moved to Germany. They have continued support of the mod. I think when the mod comes out, with some patches and expansions, if the game brings in as much interest as I think it will, we might see something larger scaled down the road.

When I sit here and think of the possibilities, I began to replay the novels in my head. Massive real time battles, not just maps, but worlds. I know it sounds far fetched but I have always envisioned a massive, sorta like MMO-as far as player base, where thousands are fighting for a goal. You could take the Inner Sphere houses/merc units holding off the invading Clans. But then again, it is all a day dream, but with this mod it does bring to light that in the near future such a game could be possible.

So there will be no AI? That is a bummer. It'd be nice to fill any empty player slots with some wandering AI unit vehicles. Also, it'd be nice to play some deathmatch with AI units when there aren't many people online.

I don't know about AI being subbed in while low on players, but as far as a single player campaign that is a big no. Though something may change in the future, they are just working towards a beta/initial release...

There will be no AI bots. You can imagine how complicated it would be to develop an AI that would properly pilot a large number of vehicles that all require different tactics. Not to mention the fact that Crysis does not support bots, so the entire code base would have to be written from scratch. That's pretty much a mod project in itself.

What you see is one of the Clan's tanks, the Huitzilopochtli out in the plains of the Palace Gates map, most likely not just staring at the scenery though.


I hope they do have a Arrow IV variant of this. on the page for this vehicle on their site they list a 2 Arrow IV Variant that sounded fun.

Getting nailed out of no where by a squadron of those would ruin your day... You would just need a light mech/armored infantry using a TAG laser system on you and then 'BAMM' you would be taking fire from vehicles or mechs with arrow missile kilometers away.. the carnage!

Today's screenshot shows the clan heavy ground attack aerospace, the Xerxes, in mid-flight, approaching an outpost. Make sure to check our MWLL encyclopedia entry on the Xerxes as well!

i really hope they finish this mod AND it is as good as it looks!

crytek will probably see this and have them develop it more, or make a whole new game!

A few of the Mod team work for crytek now, and I saw that their bosses want them to complete the mod, guess they are mechwarrior/battletech fans too!
