I've been a longtime fan of Mechwarrior, but I never really grasped the multiplayer component of any of the games. In 2009ish, I finally gave the multiplayer of Mechwarrior 4 a shot, and was disappointed beyond belief. It was basically a huge jumpsnipe fest with only assault mechs on the battlefield. That experience really made me lose my faith in playing any of the Mechwarrior games online.
However, when I discovered this mod back in October 2010, I was blown away by the graphics. I bought Crysis Maximum Edition just for it, and I can honestly say it was worth every penny. Not just the graphics, but the gameplay is also phenomenal. Sure, there may be some balancing issues, but I think the devs have done a great job of preventing the battlefield from being dominated by assault mechs. This mod has completely restored my faith in Mechwarrior becoming a viable series for online play, and it's all thanks to the people who created it and contribute to it every day. With that said, I want to say thank you devs, for your breath of life back into the Mechwarrior series.
