MWLL Weekly Update VII - May III

Welcome to the seventh overall and third weekly update in May, presented by the team of the Crysis total conversion modification MECHWARRIOR: LIVING LEGENDS.

It's been turbulent times and the team would like to apologize for the delay of this update. As for the past weeks, we'd like to start this update by saying that big things are already casting big shadows and we're just as impatiently awaiting their announcement as you guys hopefully are. For this week's update, we've got four variants of the Atlas and a status update on the Solaris Arena map Sandblasted. Once more, however, we'd like to draw your attention to the playtest impressions. The vigilant observer should notice at least two unfamiliar things in these. We're really looking forward to see how many of you actually discover them.

Four variants: Inner Sphere Atlas

Probably one of the most iconic Mechs in the battletech universe and certain to cause fear on the battlefield in those who oppose him, the team of MechWarrior: Living Legends presents to you the four variants of the Inner Sphere's Assault Mech Atlas. This monster, weighing no less than 100 tons, will be playable in the first MWLL release in the four versions shown on the screenshot below.



Progress: SA_Sandblasted

A status update on this desert/egyptian-themed map that, judging by overall reactions to earlier screenshots, seems to be quite popular: SA_Sandblasted has seen various improvements in the past few weeks. The three panorama shots below document what the very same location looks like in various stages of the established cycle of day and night. The two additional screenshots show one of the new assets that can be found on this map, huge pillars, strong and big enough to allow battlearmor to take cover behind them.





Playtest impressions

Again, here are a few pictures from this week's playtest.




Fun

Another playtest impression, interpreted by our resident Flash wizard Ravir:

Yeah the Owens looks amazing! Is it just me or are those lasers from the mech in the first playtest pic shooting at slightly different directions at the same time?

I also see that the decals on the Owens have disapeared, of course this probably happened a while ago.

Cool stuff. My guess on the unfamiliar items: Playtest screenshot with the elemental and perhaps a mobile repair vehicle. Also the Atlas picture seems to link me to the Cougar picture. :P

The one with the Raven and the Demolisher seems strange. What are those things at his feet?  It looks like he's being repaired or something. The one pic of Clearcut looks to have a strange new vehicle.

I wonder if we'll have medic vehicles! STUPENDOUS!

The pic of the owens with the Elemental piloting it seems strange for starters........

Is that a 'mech or a tank burning behind the owens?  So is that a death-sequence (with no explosion) or just heavy damage or smoke screen....we may never know :( ;)

EDIT: That Owens looks terrific BTW, really beefy and sturdy looking, plus I love how you've animated the foot more like a walking bird than the Blood Asp animation we saw earlier..great stuff!

Oooooo! The Atlas pic links right now :)

There's some nice builds in that lot, A & C look intriguing (Always loved UAC5 and 10s in pairs), Prime and B look pretty solid I have to say  8)
