I still think a MWLL remake of the Mechwarrior 2 Clan Wolf training missions would be awesome :P

And possible too! Nothing actually shoots at you until the duel at the end. (And for that you could simply say the end of your training is in the great war online ;D)

Besides, very few mod teams are known to round up good voice actors. [...]

The MWLL team has a couple of members that are competent voice actors.  We also have professional contacts with other professional voice actors/actresses (like the one for Betty) that we regularly interact with.
 
Voice acting is not the significant hurdle for a single player mode.  AI, mapping and story would be.

i can imagine a single player campaign would we way to much effort
leave that to the big game companies with all the resources for cutscenes, scriptwriting, voice overs etc

what i would love to see is some sort of multiplayer missionplay. some resources to fight about,
attack/defend, capture and hold. something like from Enemy Territory.
where other mech than just assault could be used to sucsessfuly finish the mission

FFA just for cash is rather boring in the long run. i know its based of the sucsesful counterstrike model
of earning cash and buying better equipment, but without some other goal it gets boring quick

Who is Betty? I don't mean name/rank/serial number... I mean what does she voice? Game stuff, movies, commercials?

Yeah, I wanna know that too. I get the feeling leer's idea of "professional" may be a bit generous.

I find your response insulting.
 
Our "Betty" has an amazing voice, and as a voice actress all of our interactions with her are entirely professional and consistent.  We could not ask for a better arrangement or person to work with.
 
I am not allowed to divulge details around who our voice actors are unless they specifically state that they want that information disclosed.

I feel like a noob for asking this, but what exactly is "Betty"? I'm guessing it's the cockpit AI voice.

I might be biased since I did a lot of the early directing for voice recording, but I feel we have some very good and way better than most, voice actors. You guys haven't been able to hear most of our voice acting due to the limited implementation but you'll be hearing a lot more of Betty and a few others soon-ish. You can hear some of them in the teaser video from 2008, but all of that was recorded by regular people who were able to take direction. This also included finding someone who could rerecord the MW2 Intro HQ voice without it sounding too terribly off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7CKvqfSLBA

MercenaryMuffin: Yeah Betty is the cockpit voice you hear in all the iterations of Mechwarrior. It was coined by aviator pilots as "Bitchin Betty" due to the warnings she would scream at them for their constant aerial daredevil maneuvers.

Getting an error when I try to watch this in 720p, but it runs fine in 480 and 360.

Otherwise that was quite a nice vid to watch, nice job.

Well, I had hoped I could get to critiquing the voice actors now, but I can wait I guess.
