I was reading today about the project Mektek is working on. They had a pretty cool screenshot posted recently.
As cool as that looks, what I am really excited about is Mechwarrrior: Living Legends. I try not to get excited about Mech mods, since so far they don't have much luck seeing the light of day.... but this one looks pretty bad ass, and beyond that, pretty far along. They have released a ton of screenshots and some good videos since the last time I looked at it.
They have weapon pods that visually change out on mechs. If you wanted to build a catapult with large lasers instead of missile pods, it would look like this.
If you don't know anything about it, it's a total conversion mod for Crysis. It's combined arms, with infantry including power armor and elementals, vehicles, tanks, VTOL and Aerospace.... but with a heavy focus on Mechs. It seems like they are getting just about everything in that we expect in a mech game. Customizable mechs, weapon grouping, damage / destruction of limbs and specific mech sections, locking missiles... even with TAG. The graphics, environments, animations and weapon effects are all top notch. Looking at their media it's really hard to tell this is a user mod and not Mech5.
They are releasing new screenshots every day, and they have a youtube channel with some cool videos. You really gotta check out these screens. Everything I posted here is in-game. Hopefully it's open beta soon, if not surely we can get Kami to hook us up. I'm still trying not to get my hopes up... but it looks like the mech game I have been waiting for.
