Heh, you're right.

Im still running XP :/
Maybe its finally time to cave in and upgrade.

Edit: I also have a free full version of HL2 that I can gift to one of you guys.

install instructions in case the site is still past its bandwith cap

01:59 <Dukes^F> How do you mod crysis to run the Beta?
02:00 <Dukes^F> is there a forum w/ a readme up?
02:00 <Agent_137> the site is over capacity
02:00 <Agent_137> in short,
02:01 <Agent_137> drag the mod folder in the beta.rar file
02:01 <Agent_137> into your c:/programs...whatever/crysis directory (do the same for the hotfix)
02:02 <Dukes^F> rgr
02:02 <Agent_137> then start the game as vanilla crysis, create a profile, create a multiplayer ID. (you have to create it within crysis even if it already exists as a gamespyID) 
02:02 <Agent_137> Exit the game, go into the mod/mwll folder and do two things: put a shortcut to the mwll exe there on your desktop, and...
02:02 <Agent_137>copy one of the actionmaps example xml files into your "my documents/my games/crysis/profiles/default," replacing the one there and in your personal crysis profile folder.
02:02 <Agent_137> From now on don't boot into regular crysis as it may F up your actionmaps.xml. (play warhead if you must.) Run mechwarrior from that MWLL shortcut you put on your desktop.
02:03 <Agent_137> once you're in you can test your controls by creating a local game. Singleplayer, configuration, and tutorial do not work. If you need to change controls you have to do it in actionmaps for now.
02:03 <Agent_137> to buy a mech hit [b],[/b] in the hangar
02:03 <Agent_137> to get in the mech jump on the cockpit and hit F
02:03 <Agent_137> (space to jump)
02:03 <Dukes^F> kewl thanks.
02:04 <Agent_137> p.s. joystick is goofy right now and doesn't work out of the box, stick to the keyboard & mouse. and beware - mouse x-axis (pitch) is inverted for airplanes

alright, i installed and am up and running on it. It seems like the developers ideas are good, but multiple issues right now, espically the 'float-y-ness' of the controls.

the floatiness is due to awful collision detection. So stay away from poking your manhammer into other ships' butts if you can.

it's definitely just at the stage for mech lovers right now. (which includes me at least)

Have been playing for a couple days now and I'm digging it more and more. The gameplay mechanics are really well done (get starting amount of cash; more damage done with each life = higher starting cash for next life = able to buy bigger mechs later in game, but still performance based rewards). At this time I'd say it's still optional for those that want to play and either have crysis or can pick up a copy cheap. If the developers manage to finish this off well it could easily be an underscore-wide replacement for the greatness that was BF2.

How to vids by one of the level designers - clear, concise, and very well done.

7 min part 1


5 min part 2


stuff i learned:
ejecting when mech is powered up destroys your head armor effectively ruining the mech. power down first if you actually want to get back in it.

Heavy Gauss cannon is not as worthless as i thought.

mechs can do backflips.

we should try pooling our cash at the start of the round with the best pilot so he can get a big mech and we ride out on his shoulders as mobile infantry.

Never thought of that...very good idea. atlas at start supported by 4-5 elementals would be great!

hahaha, that atlas would just insta-kill all those harassers and partisans. An awesome would probably rock the house to, with 5 Large lasers you'll destroy anything very quickly (as long as you don't ever miss.)

Great game for a beta. I would have expected to shell out $40 for a beta as good as this.

been playing all day and have started t o get good enough feel to be top3-4. Just figured out how to target rofl.

Is there not a way to invert controls for airplanes and choppers?

Here are my mechwarrior pro hints for an edge.
Don't use heavy energy weapons on the heat planet due to long cooldown times.
only use a little bit of coolant flush at the end of the cooldown unless your going to die anyways.
you can over-ride auotshutdown from overheating with O. You might splode though.

The heavy tank with ac20 can take down a lot of bigger mechs during large battles because they seem to ignore you and go for mechs. Remember that tank has a ton of firepower especially if you hit them in the back.

Glitches they need to fix now is sometimes planes or choppers wont fly at all.
Sound wont work randomly making incoming misles a nice surprise.
Would like to be able to customize in greater detail my weapon load outs.

Well worth the cash for crysis never played it rofl.

You can try to remap the controls, but it takes a ton of effort and a lot of luck. That's one of the hot topics the developers are addressing
Your mech takes a little damage from it, but far better then the 10 sec +/- it takes to auto-shutdown/restart in the middle of a fight.
Very true, most players always target the closest mech and ignore most of the rest. Vehicles are usually the last targeted. If tanking just stay to the sides of friendly mechs. When they engage just circle to the back of enemies and pound their rear (intentional). Other favorites of me:
1) is to grab the catapult with the pair of arrow's. Follow a little ways behind friendly mechs, let them soak up the damage and soften targets while you get a lock, then finish off enemy mechs quick and easy with a bit of missle arty.
2) get one of the tanks with the rc's (or rac's, or ra's, or whatever the minigun things are). They're light damage but very fast firing. Stay just behind other friendlies and do both Anti-air support and take out all the elementals(BA), works great and all the vech's configured that way are low cost, so easy way to up your rank/starting cash.
Mech-lab is a big component the dev. are working on right now. Once done supposed to be able to configure mechs from ground up, save configs, etc.
Yeah, MWLL is fully worth the cost of crysis, but I did play about 15-20 minutes of it prior to loading MWLL, and was fairly impressed with it. Pretty standard Far Cry-ish shooter, but some cool morphing stuff and really slick interface. Will definately go back and work through it some day.

1. don't bother with crysis unless you've mastered mechwarrior, l4d, mass effect, fallout 1 and 2, dues ex, max payne, tropico 3, and the countless other great games of which crysis is not. However, if you just LUUURVVVEED far cry, then Crysis will make you jizz your pants.

Sighting laser for others LRM's. Just hold it on a target and anyone with LRM's equipped has a little "TAG" icon pop up in the HUD. All they have to do is fire and the missles automatically home in on wherever that laser is pointed. Just remember distances, hand held is max 400m, mech-borne is 1000m.

Man they need to fix the chopper/aerospace jet lag. So hard to lock on with misals. Once you lock on and fire them off they seem like they will hit then it lags 40 ft away and misles can't get close to it. BTW how do you spell missles?

MISSed by mILES

anyway, yea, worst part about this mod is the crysis engine. I don't know if that's fixable.
