MWLL made the top 100 for MOTY 2009! Don't forget to vote again in the top 100!

this looks alright, tempted to buy crysis as I've always had me eye somewhat on this, the fact it's playable now makes it even more tempting to buy crysis. Also, you know when you turn your mechs torso, does it have inertia?

I fucking need a key.

[QUOTE=Pinut;19470141] Also, you know when you turn your mechs torso, does it have inertia?[/QUOTE] Torsos don't have inertia. Mech bodies do.

[QUOTE=Saber15;19490722]Torsos don't have inertia. Mech bodies do.[/QUOTE] Torsos most definitely have rotational inertia. Using a joystick it's very obvious. It all feels very much like you'd expect a gargantuan walking war machine to feel, which is to say somewhat difficult to control and awesome.

Sitting back out with their missiles just tracking. You will never learn the joy of having the feeling of controlling a weapon of power, of something that can fuck shit up with just the press of a button.

I tried this today, and it was awesome. I kept dying, but I didn't care, because it was so good - I played on a map that looked like you were on the moon, and when the sun came it and it was super-bright it looked fantastic - like one of those films where they have battles in space with robots and shit. Although I am a bit crap at it.

One thing that annoys me: If you run at 80 kph, fall down a small rock you stop completely before moving on. That needs to be fixed.

They need to fix that bug where sometimes your vehicle gets stuck in the hangar (before you exit the main building, not the bay it was built in) because I keep having to reconnect/suicide and lose spawn Cbills :(

[QUOTE=3v3ryb0dy;19502699]One thing that annoys me: If you run at 80 kph, fall down a small rock you stop completely before moving on. That needs to be fixed.[/QUOTE] MechWarrior has always been like that though. The mech needs to plant itself after a fall. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to fix it but then you'd be moving away from game canon. Unless you mean how the game will sometimes completely zero your throttle without your permission leaving you to figure out what happened and rev it back up, that is annoying. These are my two biggest annoyances. They've probably been reported already but just to be a good beta tester: -Try to turn but torso doesn't move. Rotate legs. Torso suddenly snaps to the amount you would have turned. Completely lose orientation. -Set tanks to manual control. Pressing "stop" doesn't clear your throttle, but pauses it, so when you let go the tank immediately takes off. I guess it's not too bad but it's unintuitive and difficult when you're trying to plant yourself in one spot, say at the top of a hill.

If it happens again, you can make your way out by cramming your mech into one of the corners of the mechbay, and you'll clip through it to get out.

Maybe that's what it is, because sometimes I also fall through the map and in to the mech bays :S

[/QUOTE] The mechs tend to stop after 1-2 foot drops; running sideways or down a hill can be almost impossible because the throttle constantly resets. On tanks and VTOLs/aerospace fighters, pressing K switches between throttle control and regular game controls (holding W makes you go 100% throttle, letting go instantly sets it to 0% throttle)
