MechWarrior: Living Legends

**This may be better suited for "Off-topic" but I thought it might fit here because it looks like a game that people from Ordo could play together. **

MWLL is a mod for the multiplayer component of Crysis Warhead, Crysis Wars. You can currently buy Crysis: Warhead for about $20. But, you can also play the mod using the Crysis Wars free trial. But I will explain that later.

The mod is pretty fantastic in what it allows you to do. It allows you to not only pilot mechs, but tanks and other ground vehicles, as well as air vehicles (including VTOL's). On top of that, you can walk around as an infantry guy if you want.

Here's a video showing off some of it:

I'm pretty excited for Mech Warrior Online, but this mod seems to have a lot more features than it's official counterpart. As far as I know, MWO doesn't have air our infantry/ground based combat, just mech combat. I am still immensely excited for MWO, though.

Honestly, this mod reminds me a lot of combat from ChromeHounds (but a lot more Hardcore), which is my all-time favorite xbox game, due to it's awesome multiplayer component.

When I first saw this mod, I instantly thought of this Gundam game that I never got the chance to play, unfortunately. It was only available in Japan, but you could play the demo if you modded your xbox 360 a bit. But I've always wanted to play it since I saw the trailer on youtube years ago. The idea of infantry, tanks, and air mixed with mechs has always held my interest.

This is a great mod to play if you look military-type stuff. It's not a game where you can just run around and kill people and hope your team wins. To be effective you have to work as a team. Plus, mechs. And jets. And tanks. And Infantry.
