Big Mechwarrior: Living Legends patch today

[Acanthus]

It looks like they've fixed most of the bugs from early beta and did some rebalancing (see Huit + L Pulse nerf). The sound bug is supposed to be gone.

Now im trying to find the best deal i can on crysis so i can play with my friends

Update: 2/25/2010 -- There is another major patch to the mod today, this includes anticheat support, new content, and a giant pile of bug fixes.

Damn... Huit's didnt need nerfing Guess it was when I could beat an Atlas 1v1 which I did several times.... headshots were too easy on it.

You could have linked us to the changes thread too!

I'll have to get back into my mech and do some shooting.

Been waiting to play this. Reinstalling W7 from the RC to the final product. Can't wait for it.

Shoulda gone in on steam's Crysis deal. I think I got both Crysis and Warhead for $15.

 

[Elcs]

The C3 information sharing for the Raven & Cougar will be probably my favourite addition.

Ever since seeing the Warhammer launch it's radar probe in the Mechwarrior 5 trailer I have been wondering what it'd be like to do in game and how positively it could affect the game.

I forsee this patch making a damn good mod into an extremely fun mod.

 

[Skott]

I haven't even installed Crysis yet. Still playing through FarCry 2. Crysis is next on my list to play. Then maybe I'll try MW:LL. By then they'll have lots of bugs squashed I imagine.

 

[shortylickens]

Fuck it, I'm gonna download this right now. No more excuses.

 

[ZzZGuy]

Put in a few hours.

Sounds are fixed.
Lag is greatly reduced, but the problem with aircraft is still there (as it is in crysis mp).
BA is a little less of a problem.
A few improved stock variants.
LRM's on larger mechs are now actually useful.
Credits are much harder to come by.
Increased credit flow from damage inflicted.
Overheating damage occurs at lower temps (most notable on the arrow carrying catapult).
Fire bombs are very popular now.

I know most of this is listed, but it is what I have noticed in game.

 

[MedicBob]

Nice patch and made a good mod better. I get the impression the makers are going full bore until everything is fixed.

Still suck at getting my joystick working, but I don't have the patience with it either.

 

[WelshBloke]

What controllers is everyone using with this?

I suck at piloting with the keyboard

Mouse and keyboard.

I suck at fast control of light/medium mechs so I exclusively use vehicles until I can crack out an Awesome. Then I stay at the back and follow the battlegroup under passive radar.

This tactic enables me to walk slowly forward and use laser/ppc/gauss fire to look where to fire. Not many mechs will even see you before you PPC snipe them.

Keyboard and mouse all the way!

I am having a bit of trouble with the WASD controls because im used to the other mechwarrior games... but as i get used to it, I seem to be getting better at managing the smaller/faster mechs.

Having played MW2, GBL, Mercs, MW3, MW4, BK and Mercs... I sympathise there.

With Light Mechs I seem to be very inept, they slow down so slowly, turning is awkward and accuracy at any decent dodging speed is nil. Guess i need practice in them to become proficient but I am deadly in a Huit, a few 1v1 wins against Atlases and the like.

The Heavy Gauss nerf is a bit of a pain. Really kicks the Hollander B 16 Heavy Gauss rounds with passive sensors and jump jet sniping tactics in the servos.

I still like the hollander B.

My guilty pleasure is the Oro with the LBXs. Get in close on a catapult and hilarity ensues.

 

[JTsyo]

I have my joystick working but it seems more awkward than the K/M. Back during MW3, I believe, you could aim without turning the torso so a joystick was better but in this since the mouse turns the torso, it aims faster than the joystick. Maybe I just need to up the gain on the joystick.

HA, Oro C with two flamers on Inferno vs Awesome's. Follow a group of mechs to a fight, at the start of the map no one shoots at your puny little tank, until the 3rd time you bum rush a Awesome or any mech using energy weapons and blow them up 1v1, then they start looking for the little tank.

Sounds are still not working. Half the time my weapon audio cuts out. Very frustrating.

 

[Gothgar]

so I installed crysis and downloaded this and played it

Fun ass game even though I suck at it, lol

Very odd, my sounds appear to be working fine on integrated audio.

what's a good way to kill planes? i get fucking raped by their bombs :|:|:|:|:|

 

[ZzZGuy]

what's a good way to kill planes? i get fucking raped by their bombs :|:|:|:|:|

Huit tank with 4 LPL's. Tanks with AC/RAC's are also good. Planes also work as most planes bombing you won't be able to fight back.

Mechs & demolishers don't work as well as they can not aim up high enough and are easy to spot (as well as being higher up on the target list).

Passive radar also helps as they have to actually see you, but if you are near friendlies and you are the biggest target it won't help you much.

For defense against Tbolts simply make sure you never stop and never run in the same direction as the jet (eg, running directly away). This means they can not get a NARC on you for the Tbolt to be able to hit. For fire bombs, keep popping radar on & off and blow him up as he's making the bombing run.

For the Vtols (choppers) that are outranging you, find cover and work around that. You have no idea how much of a pain it is to move a vtol to face the other side of a barrier only to have the target go back again. You'll likely want long range weapons on a tank/mech so you can stay around cover.

 

[Gothgar]

Vtols are so mother fucking hard to steer

 

[JTsyo]

Is there a wiki site or something that shows the weapons and such? Looking at the loadouts, I can't always pick up on what weapons are loaded on a mech.
