New Crysis pre-SDK Mod - MechWarrior: Living Legends
Today we proudly announce the fourth and last chosen Crysis pre-SDK modification. It is called MechWarrior: Living Legends and will get supported by Crytek during its development. Please find the official press release further below:
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 fourteen meters tall. 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 following the concept set forth by 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 umbrella factions of Battletech, “The Clans” and “The Inner Sphere”. Maps 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 been 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.
General Features- Epic multiplayer missions that thrusts players into an ever-changing environment, forcing them to adapt their tactics and approach to conquer battlefields ranging from desert to tundra to Alpine.
- Take control of over 40 land, sea, and air vehicles. These vehicles include tanks, VTOLs, hovercraft, fast attack-vehicles, fighter jets, battle suits and finally hulking 100 ton BattleMechs.
- Will you be a living legend or a forgotten casualty? High Tech Vehicles allows gamers to augment their weapons and load outs in real time on the battlefield.
- Players can choose to enhance their capabilities through a modular weapon and vehicle attachment system.
- Countless weapon combinations, you play how you want no more “cookie cutter” classes
- Unique Teams and weapons.
- Outdoor dynamic lighting allows for every battle to be fought during day or night, with accurate simulation of shadows, atmosphere, vegetation and weather.
- Built from the ground up using on the next generation CryENGINE 2™, Crysis’ visuals define “state of the art,” with full DX10 support and scalable options to deliver solid performance on older machines.
- Fully destructible and open environments in the DX10 maps.
- External auto-updater and in-game map downloader to allow downloading of custom maps when connecting to a server.
Multiplayer Features- Online multiplayer action with up to 32 players on the PC.

The pre-SDK mod teams just get the SDK before everyone else, right?

Should be an awesome mod. I've always loved the Mechwarrior series and I was deeply saddened to hear Fasa Studios was going to be shut down so this should be very interesting indeed.

RE: New Crysis pre-SDK Mod - MechWarrior: Living Legends
I have played mech every mech game there was.This will be the icing on the cake to have a Direct X 10 version.If it anything like the new crysis game it will be one of those moments in life where you are really glad there are people out there who enjoyed the mech series as much as I have and now it will be the most outstanding game ever created next to crysis.Thankyou.
