I'm 100% impressed with where you guys are going with this, Was pretty much drulling the entire time. Cant wait to see the mechs in action, them eles' and fighters look pretty fun, and only at alpha stage too

Keep it Up and Bring Back MECH!

I'm with Magus here.  This is looking great.

Most people do not realize how much work goes into a mod like this.  I have read some negative stuff like the mechs don't work yet, etc.  I guess some people only see a half empty glass and not a half full one.  Don't let them get to you. 

The amount of work done here is very impressive.  Keep up the good work.  I am really looking forward to this mod.

Yeah people tend to forget that working on a game like this means a lot of programming too. It's not like the engine was made to just move a mech and that's it. As soon as they finish all the programming for the game mechanics I am sure it won't take that long anymore until we see our mechs move like rabbits ... well maybe more like the heavy battlesuits they are.

I fully agree that this looks impressive.
However, the mechs still don't move properly. You're not having problems implementing this, are you?

We can just hope that HAARP was joking when he wrote that :D Or he isn't reading the posts that much ...

Not to be a nay sayer...but I noticed in one of the new vids that the battlesuits are doing a lot of jumping, which was reminiscent of Counterstrike jumpers (trying to jump alot to avoid getting hit). Is this something we can look forward to? or is this just with the battle suits? I know mechs have jump jets but with heat managability, prolly wont be able to jump a whole lot. Just wondering :)

wait till the 3storie tall mechs get put in to the game, them lil jumping elementals will get stuck inbetween our toes or jump out my way till they find their way inbetween my mechy's toes > : )


 also note that it was all elemenatls vs elementals, so their fast nimble hit n run strat has to be moddified to suit the field. in a bigger schermish their strategys will change drastically, if yall remember the oldskool days of mech (not that mercs mektek lets add midgit suit crap) the strategy was pretty much the same. hit run, jump doge, hmm that reminds me... wonder if they gonna put the relaxed jump jets in this mod like was in mw2, relaxed JJ's owned

Gosh, what a disturbing thought ;)
Rest assured that this is a battlesuit phenomenon and Mechs won't be able to use this feature to the same extent.

I didnt think so, I am a player of alot of online games, so I have left more online games due to this jumping strat then I can count on 2 hands. As another poster had stated in a different thread, I am hoping this wont be a teenage twich-fest. Being an older gamer (38) I love to play online, but I also like realism, and running around popping off shotgun blasts as I fly thru the map isnt my idea of realism.

3 Story mechs with cry-engine physics only makes me drool more at the possibilities of maps and strats. I dont think this will be a twitchfest but I do think it will require at least some form of patience to pilot an enormous chunck of metal.

Sidenote: Remember in Crysis, when the tanks were rolling in to take out the AAA guns...and the mountain slowly began to fall? Even at its top speed those rocks were going pretty slow, but damn it was very real.

Just a few posts above :) Its not a problem implementing them - it just takes a crapload of work and time :)

Oh and yeah it's still alpha. Not even Beta yet.

Thanks criminal! I am sure you are all doing your best to get this mod done and satisfy your already pretty big fanbase. I really appreciate all the time that you put into this project. And all that besides having a job or family! So staying up until 2 or 3 am really means a lot for me :D I think of you guys when I go to bed before 11 pm ... thanks guys :D
