Well...looks like its time to buy Crysis....

[Wedge]

Aaand too bad Crysis isn't on sale.  Either EA are being dicks, or with any luck we'll get it on super sale for like 75% off.

Either way this makes me happy in the pants

[CaffeinePowered]

Well, I checked STEAM and there's SECUROM and an INSTALL LIMIT on steam.....fail EA.....FAIL

[Maxon]

Wow, I think I have a reason to actually play Crysis for more than an hour lol  Got my copy sitting around somewhere.

[Montoya]

I think I'll be picking up Crysis this week. Even if I don't like the game, at least I'll have something to challenge my new computer and amaze my friends, not to mention this landmark of a mod.

That should only be for warhead not crysis.  And the install limit is a "5 computers at the same time" limit not a "you can only install this one or two times" kind of limit.

No, every time you activate, it uses one, same thing they had with SPORE, the whole fucking point of steam is, I can not use it on more than one computer at once, so why put a god damn rootkit in it

[Doctor Plasma]

Motherfucking Mechwarriors!!!!!

Yeah, finally a reason to not just pirate Crysis.

Installation

Requirements
Crysis installed and patched to 1.21
Directions
Upon downloading the mod you should have an archived directory.
This directory should be extracted to your Crysis install Directory which usually looks like “C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis”
Replacing Action-Maps
For MWLL to function properly we have adjusted an created an actionmap for players to begin with.
You MUST replace your Crysis Action maps.
To do this, copy the file “example_actionmaps_for_joystick.xml”
Paste this file your Crysis profile contained in

mydocuments\mygames\Crysis\default\
mydocuments\mygames\Crysis\YOURUSERNAME\

The file must be renamed to actionmaps.xml

Launching the game
You may launch the game using the MWLL Laucher
MWLL Launcher.exe is contained in Crysis\Mods\mwll folder
Alternatively you can add a –mod mwll in the target of a shortcut to the crysis executables. It will look like this “"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Bin64\Crysis.exe" -mod mwll”

nice job

[KorJax]

Awesome

So has anyone here played it yet?  It's a rough beta with few crashes (that are being narrowed down) and bugs, and not much documentation... but hopefully still playable in some form 

[[fr31ns]Karrde]

Damn, now I wish my comp could run Crysis

[Eschatos]

83% done.

HOTFIX RELEASED:

Basically helps with stability issues and being unable to join password protected servers.

[cbre88x]

I wish Crysis would go on sale so I could try this.

[Eschatos]

This really really needs a tutorial or something.  I can tell there's a good game in there but I have no idea what to do or how to do it.  Also VTOLs control like utter shit.  And it won't let me buy ammo for vehicles.  And the changes to fonts fucked up a lot of the menus.  And I get random texture flashing/disappearing.  If that gets fixed I bet it'll be a great game.

Haven't tried it yet but the original games were great because they were so detailed in the controls. Overcomplicated but it made it feel more real, like a sim instead of a shooter.

It's a beta so we don't have a tutorial or anything.  That said I've already recorded footage that I'm planning on puting together into a tutorial video.  Though it REALLY helps if you've played Mechwarrior before since it works at it's root levels like that.

Tips (includes controls on how to use a VTOL):

What the weapons mean (if you are new to mechwarrior/battletech this is useful):

http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/forum/i...427.0.html

Note that ammo is based on tonnage (like everything in battletech).  It's not toally apparent at the moment beacuse the customization isn't actually in yet, but some mechs can only carry a limited amount of tonnage of ammo depending on how much "space" they have avalable for such things.  It says how many tons are avalable in the ammo tab under the weapons list.  "TonsFree = 0" means you cannot load any more ammo onto the mech - you'll have to run out of your current salvos before rearming.  "TonsFree = 3" means you can load up to 3 more tons of ammo on it (aka a single purchase of ammo from the ammo menu while in vehcile).  When you run out of ammo, the weapon will then use up on of those ammo tons you purchased in order to re-arm in the battle.
