Mechcommander elements?

[thezeus18]

Will the game include elements from Mechcommander? Will there be a commander-like mode?

I would like to be able to play like this: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2MQPWE_M_EM

No. MechWarrior: Living Legends makes you part of the action, not observer.

[thezeus18]

But, you're not an observer in mechcommander, you're an essential tactician.

Yes Mechcommander is an interesting and fun game. MechWarrior: Living Legends (MWLL) is a total conversion modification for Crysis. MWLL is at its very core a mix between a First Person Shooter (FPS) and a Simulation (SIM). This will be achieved through the use of a, mixed arms massively multiplayer, gaming experience where the player takes part in a battle using a variety of vehicles and weapons. MWLL is following the concept set forth by Crysis of a sandbox feel where you get to play what you want and how you want it.

It is still a tactical game in that the way you use the equipment availble to you and the way you play as a team will have a direct and profound impact on wether you become a living legend, or a forgotten casualty.

massively multiplayer meaning its massive (ie big maps) and multiplayer, not to be confused with a MMO with thousands of players at one time

[thezeus18]

How much will tactics come into play? Do the Mechs have weak spots? Will a coordinated attack be necessary to win on some maps? Will a successful ambush actually give you an advantage?

Teamwork will be the key to victory and without coordinated forces, getting beyond certain spots will be very, very hard if not impossible
However, as said, this mod is not a simple recreation of former MechWarrior games. "Coordinated Forces" refers not only to several Mechs pushing down a road, canyon or whatever, it also refers to infantry completing objectives while Mechs keep the enemy off.

It will be a great meeting ground for sim players and FPS players to unite together and against eachother! Will be great fun

Who is better a CS,BF2 player or a MW, sim player? hehehe we will find out.
