MechWarrior: Living Legends - Open Beta v0.5.0 Full [Free Game]
MWLL-CrysisWars-OpenBeta-Full-0.5.0.exe
Here's the full updated installer for MechWarrior: Living Legends, the total conversion modification for Crysis Wars.MechWarrior: Living Legends (MWLL) is a total conversion modification for Crysis Wars. 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 using the concepts pioneered by the "Battlefield" franchise and more recently Crysis, of a sandbox feel where you get to play what you want and how you want it. MWLL depicts the epic struggles between the two factions of Battletech "The Clans" and "The Inner Sphere". Maps will typically have a mix of vehicles and infantry combat, using both of these to complete objectives as a team will be essential to winning rounds or campaigns in MWLL. In the project we will be bringing some of the legends of "MechWarrior" franchise back to life with new art and animations that do justice to these huge weapons of war and also do something that's never be done before using the deep universe of Battletech. There are so many facets to Battletech and finally comes a title that is willing to explore them.
