In preparation of MWLL, there's been a community effort a while ago to develop - I believe - McRugby game mode based on Crysis itself, but the people involved seem to have fallen off of the face of the earth.
like most mods these days. i pray every day mwll will see it to the end 
Yeah, that's the fate for most mods. But MWLL is on the very border distinguishing 'mods' and 'full games' in my opinion, so lets hope it will not suffer the same fate. The years behind it seems to justify my hopes though.
winning both editors and players MOTY award will certainly help.
