are they just testing it for bugs and working out the kinks by now?

from all the screenshots and different maps, it looks very near to completion.

TBH, there are plenty of great games out. And even if it hurts me, I'd rather the mod developers do their BEST, rather than release soemthing they aren't happy with.

I'm not sure what point in development they are in, but I know they should be doing a beta soon. And yes, it seems like they have a solid base of the mod completed, but there is always room for improvement.

I agree 100%, I hope most understand this is one of the key elements that makes games better, taking their time. Look at how many games are released, and they turn out to suck due to being rushed. I'd rather wait, while suffering, but it will be worth it.

I'm upping the rig with a 4870x2, and two 500gb wd 32mb cache drives. I want and will run this game maxed!! lol

You say it's been over a year? well I don't suppose you know how to build a game from the ground up any faster do you? Heck even proffessional studios' take sometimes over 3-4 years to develop a game and your bothered by them taking a little more time to polish things off?

Sorry rant is over, but seriously think about what you are really saying and think about it. So what they are taking a little longer then the originally thought, it just means when it gets to us, it will be all the better.

Also do you see any other mods as far as mechwarrior/battletech of this quality? No, mektek.net has done the mekpaks but that is nothing compared to this.

Mate sorry if I sounded so antagonistic. My apologise. I understand you guys are spending your free time. I withdraw my comments.But want gamefootage

videos

. I honestly would love to play this

no hard feeling

I've been following a HL2 Resident Evil mod for 2 years now. It'll eventually get released because the devs are too far into it to turn back.

I understand...but god the suspense is killing me LOL...

Today's screenshots, I would hate to be close range with that 2x AC 20 variant! Can you say 'shredded armor':

Google and youtube are your friends, here is a list of video's they have released so far of the alpha footage:

No problems, hope you enjoy those video's, I know I did!

Those Variants are just plain mean.

As far as the mod release, the stated message from the MWLL devs is that they have had a working alpha for a while and they are starting a closed beta. After they have had time to test the closed beta and fix bugs with the mod, then they will release the open beta.

From what I can get from their messages and postings, it would appear that most of the combat system looks to be in good shape. Their problems seem to be interface and bug issues. Not too long ago they released a video showing their customizable weaponry. The problem, they stated, was that the interface you use to see your changes rendered in the game engine was not available. Also, according to their site, the only people they really need for mod work are animators, level designers, and flash programmers.

My best guess is that they will start a closed beta to work out bugs and around beginning of march will release an open beta that will run properly, if lacking in some features. But this is all speculation, I personally have no ties to their team. If you want to ask them about it, make an account and post something on their forums on their site.

Neutrino, I wonder how they will finish the damage indicator/damage display. I wonder if they will do like the previous models with an image of the mech with arms/Left torso/etc.. or if it will just be a bar display. I know on that one image they had the bars... I guess it comes down to the interface they decide on..

I have always preferred stock variants in old mw4/mw3 matches to be honest. In the novels and technical readouts, the older battlemechs could not change weapon loadouts, they only could have the weapons that it came with. It wasn't until the Clans invading and the Omni-mechs being designed by the Inner Sphere States that the playing field was even.

Also having the stock matches you don't have to worry about mech-boats, though it did have its fun. I'm just glad we are finally seeing on the outward appearance in the battlemechs change when weapons are changed, it adds the extra bit of realism to the game.

I'd like to see a mod team re-do or mod something for mechcommander, the first was actually a darn good game. I would like to see more detail, maybe not even the graphics, but the actual game content go more in depth! That would be very interesting indeed!

From the video its ZOMG!!

...Thanks for that. Looks like they have used the HUD from the helicopters in crysis.

.

How big is the actual map? Are you guys going to have jaming of weapons?

PhelanJKell · 01-05-09

Got moved into my apartment, so I missed last night but here is an amazing shot, it just gives me the sense of the mods epic'ness!! And I think that is the Stormcrow *Ryoken* in the background, look at the feet...might I be on something!?:

I cant believe there r 25 pages of posts and no mention of BattleMechHanger, this mod is based on 2142 and is in alpha testing phase, you can order a disk and start playing (testing).

BUT there are less then a 100 disks left for the alpha so hurry!

And nobody has claimed the Kell Hounds yet
