MWLL Advent Calendar - Door 11

[AoP]

Read the original entry

It is the 11th day of december and another door in MWLL's advent calendar opens to bring you some screenshot goodness. Today's screenshot shows a Madcat firing a PPC. The map you see is the already introduced map Palace Gates for the Solaris Arena game mode. If you miss counterfire from or details on the Atlas - don't expect either. It is not an actual mech but a piece of decoration, a statue.

Yeah, noticed and fixed.

Nice picture, but isn't that a Timberwolf?

It might be an optical illusion but it appears from the positioning of the shadow that the Madcat is actually floating several feet above the ground. I had wondered if this was going to be an issue in this game when putting the machines on legs and then having trouble programing where the feet should contact the ground. I have seen many well done full games that have an issue with the characters floating inches above the terrain at all times. It becomes very evident on hillsides and other slopes. How much of an issue has this been for the developers with MWLL?

It is... Mad Cat is the IS name for the Timber Wolf.
I like the name Mad Cat better myself, so I use that one.

I have been waiting the release of this monster... The timberwolf has been a favorite since the first time I played mw2 back in DOS... Can't wait to see this textured and with some high res/AA turned up! Great job guys, really enjoying the pictures!

I like!

Although... this is the MRII as mentioned... the 90 tonner. So it is not the "true" Timber Wolf. But the true Timber Wolf, the 75 tonner, is in MWLL to, so we will get to handle that absolutly glorious beast of a Mech.

They haven't posted a model of the original mad cat yet.

Here is the page for it though: http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/content/view/81

According to your links, that is a Madcat/Timberwolf, not a MKII in the new screenshot. The Timberwolf has the slopping down arms as well as a more rounded cockpit. The MKII has the flatter cockpit and straight arms...I do not see the latter in that Door 11 screenshot.

Edit: Here is a picture of the MKII from one of the other Advent doors:

Notice the differences in arms, legs, and cockpit. That is definitely not a MKII in Door 11.

This is the Madcat/Timberwolf.

Nice Timberwolf!
I love seeing the 2 different weapons mounted on the shoulder rack of that timberwolf.

Congrats guys. You've managed to mis-ID a SECOND mech. Thats a timber wolf (I.S. AKA Mad Cat). That is NOT a Mad Cat MkII.

And that PPC fire is...underwhelming. :/

I do like seeing it with differing shoulder racks though. Great for showing off the customizing power, as thoman mentioned.

[Angreifer]

Ah, the iconic Timberwolf. Those of you who aren't able to ID it, you'd better get back to studying silhouettes...because that one should be an easy one. Why anyone would confuse it for that gross abomination the MadCat Mk II is beyond me... 

But a very nice model. I've ordered my copy of Crysis, and looking more and more forward to this mod each day.

Looks like someone does need to study a bit more. I know my timber wolf, trust me on that one! haha It is going to bring the fear into the hearts of many out there that is for sure!
