Awesome newsletter, including movies, guys! This looks like it's moving along well. Very happy to see the progress, as well as your perseverance. Keep up the good work, we at SJ are all rooting for you, and share each Newsletter when it comes out.

On a side note - the "Huitzilopochtli"? OK,ok, Huit for short ---- (ouch, that "huits" lol!) but whatever you guys were drinking when you came up with this, I want some! This sound like ancient Mayan?

Great Newsletter!!
It's a mean teaser. Can't wait for the first version I can play.

Hope the 'Mechs will be as great as the tanks.

..as well as your perseverance. Keep up the good work..

As concern rises, support dwindles, interest in Cry2 decreases and the team gets smaller, perhaps some form of contribution / donation can be done or implemented ??
I, for one, am wiling to back the project up financially. (as i am incapable of doing otherwise)

If I overstepped the line here, pls let me know..
Any Dutch out there ?

Was abit dubious as to the description of those pulse lasers but seeing them in action they have alot of potential. Though with the battlesuits jumping all over the place it does end up looking like they "pulses" are coming from the middle of thin air at times.

Overall though the games looking alot more polished and impressive, cant wait to see the first mech on mech fight.

What a marvelous newsletter! Well worth the wait!

Palace Gates is my favorite, all time best-est MechWarrior map ever!  Ah the stories it could tell.  And the MWLL incarnation looks brilliant!  

Pulse lasers. Pew pew pew! Pew pew pew!  I think I'm going to get much more mileage out of them in MWLL than i did in Mech4.

Oh, the tank battles! You've really captured the kind of heart pounding visceral combat that I was hoping for.  Bring on the tanks!

I really can't say enough about the videos, except that I am watching them all again as soon as I post this.  Was that poor Toeball getting pulse lasered off the top of the hanger?  And we get to see a tank factory!

I love the new vehicle images, especially the Hawk Moth.  Looking sharp!  And of course the 'Mech hanger is my new wallpaper.  

Lots of Devs to meet this time.  Toeball you sound like an adventurer!  My petty attempts at biking and Kayaking make you seem like some kind of secret agent!  And Seiko and Keeper and Unearthly and Zaha... The depth and breadth of the MWLL team never ceases to amaze.

And now we get Commandos, and huits, and Schreks and Kodiaks. (Love the Schrek in the video btw) Things are looking good!  I'm a little sad to see the swift wind go, and I'm not sure of the battlefield viability of a Mack Truck, but lets put some mechwarriors behind the wheel and see what happens. (splatted Battle Armor?)

Of course you guys are sticking with Crysis, and I have no doubt you'll be successful.  Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some videos to watch... again.

Just a SMIDGE over the top there, boss.  ;D

I reflect overwatch's enthusiasm for seeing the tank fights, and I agree that hangar... well, what was it Panzerboxb said about laying down plastic and having the towels ready?  That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen.  I still go back to watching the flight videos, which I have saved on my hard drive and watch... well, it's down to every few days, now, but I watch them frequently enough, still drooling.

It looks as though you guys have put an amazing amount of work into this, and I really can't wait to see 'Mechs walking around and fighting.  I know, after what Cyberlore did to MW4, you guys are working especially hard to make sure that debacle is not repeated, so I'm most willing to wait for 'Mechs

Thank you, so much for the newsletter.  I've forwarded it to two of my buddies in the sand and two of my friends here, as well, and I think there will be more converts as time moves along.

Awsome!  I like these pulse lasers MUCH better than the MW4 ones, but I think I still prefer the MW3 ones, but it's not that big of an issue :)

Still great stuff!

So how is the Huit conversion going to be portrayed?  racks LRM 20's instead of Arrow IV's?
