'MechWarrior: Living Legends' Crysis Mod Stomps Out

Related Topics – Crysis, Alone in the Dark, Trailer, screenshots, PC

The joys of classic mech combat simulator series MechWarrior have come to Crysis with the release of MechWarrior: Living Legends beta v1.0, a 1.43GB mod available on FileShack.

The multiplayer mod boasts customisable mechs, battlesuits, tanks and aircraft by the dozen for players to pilot in objective-based gameplay modes as well as arena duels, all rendered in lovely Cry-o-vision.

MWLL had been granted a legal thumbs-up by then-license holder Microsoft and its release presumably signals a similar all-clear from the current holder Smith & Tinker--founded by Jordan Weisman, also co-founder of MechWarrior creator FASA--who is currently working on its own PC and Xbox 360 new MechWarrior with Piranha Games.

Anyone else have a problem with the 1.2.1 (v1.1.1.6156) patch for Crysis? After installing that, Crysis CTD's all the time when going to multiplayer or even changing controls. I even tried reinstalling it and removing all the config files and running as administrator. It crashes as soon as I press "apply changes" or "remember password" :(

I see real potential for this.

MW5 could be just be MechWarrior 5 (single player + console butchered multiplayer), whereas this could grow to be a persistent online battle ala Planetside. I would love to see this mod go pro with Microsoft/Smith & Tinker's blessing once all the legal issues were worked out. I would HAPPILY pay for this to become a real game.
