MWLL Media Sneak Peek - December 20th 2009

[Gibbage]

Don't tell me those are Snub-Nose-PPC's O.o
A "sawn-off-shotgun-PPC"?

No.  I dont think those are in-game.  Some mech's have hard points modeled in, like the Vultures LRM on the upper torso.  The Warhammer has the arms modeled that way, and the various weapons stuffed in.  I think the choice was made because it is such an iconic look, that its very difficult to change and still have it look right.

I've been watching the development of this for quite some time and I have to say thank you a TON (or tonnes even...) for both the project as a whole and just for working long hours to give us a new mech sim to play with.

The hud looks great, the mechs look great, can't wait to play.


Thank you.

Those aren't even PPC's

The screenshots look great. I especially like the layout of the HUD.

I made the same comment in stalker's thread so might as well here too. The reticle can have a lot of gadgets around it and still look clean if its all put underneath the center of the reticle.
Here is a mock up that shows how it would look like (I agree with others  a torso twist indicator is needed, so I added one just to see) LINK
 
Things above the reticle tend to obscure what you are targeting, while most the time you don't care about whats under the reticle.
Other than that I'm still liking how its turning out.

These screen caps are so beautiful it makes me tear  up

nice pics but why with yet another round of daily,weekly,monthly updates? after this time last years same type of thing going on without a release to this date im not holding my breath. you guys need to release or just stop hyping this. i have a feeling these updates will go the same way they went a year ago. and to the above poster its ok to criticize but all you are doing is BS. go advertise some where else.

It's been a while that passed by without any news from your favorite MechWarrior mod. As announced, we spent a lot of time bugfixing, optimising, tuning and polishing... and are now indeed in strike distance. You'll have to hold out a few days more, but we'll try to ease this final tension with brand new screenshots that should make clear that this time, close to release means close to release - even if it's still beta.
Please note that this will not be a countdown as there'll be no numbers involved, but we'll still try to present new media every day until release from now.

reading captions at the start of a line of public media releases is ftw. (even though the pics are a bit more eye catching )

I don't get it, explain with pictures

He does have a legitimate complaint, they did say release was going to be last year with a mass of media release and it didn't happen.  But the mod itself is looking in a much of a release state than it did since we saw some sshots last time around.  We can only hope they keep up on their word this time around.

While he's got every right to voice his opinion I can't help thinking that he's just a hater looking to start a flame war....the last comment "go advertise somewhere else" is exactly that...where else should they go? This is their site!

there's always gotta be someone holding the flamer, just the natural order of the world.
