I'm sure a lot of you have heard of Mechwarrior: Living Legends at some point. Maybe you've played it in the past, either for a quick spin, or for a longer period of time. Maybe you've heard it from playing Mechwarrior Online or seen it on their forums, and the various slanderous comments their fanboys have against it. Or perhaps you're a normal human being and have no idea what I'm raving on about.

If your the latter, that's perfectly reasonable. The playerbase has severely reduced in recent circumstances. However, this is what Project Phoenix Down is trying to ammend.

Here's your rough-and-ready rundown of what MW:LL actually is:

MW:LL is a combat simulation game set in the Battletech Universe built in CryEngine 2. It is a mod for Crysis Wars, and can operate with the free trial version of the game.
MW:LL Includes:

• 32 Mechs (each with multiple variants)
• Truly combined arms, charge into battle as a nimble Battle Armour or pilot Vehicles from the Battletech Universe (Aerospace Fighters, VTOLs, Tanks, Hovercraft)
• A wide array of advanced weaponry up to the year 3067 (including Heavy Gauss, Heavy Lasers, Arrow IV, ATMs)
• 17 Unique official maps and dozens of high quality community created maps (autodownloder included)
  
• Multiple game modes (mostly respawn based)
• Up to 32 players on one server
• Hot Inner Sphere on Clan action
• Years of balancing and content
• Featuring the vocal talents of George Ledoux reprising his role as Duncan Fisher, AKA the Solaris commentator from Mechwarrior 4

Best of all, it’s free! Gratis! A pure labour of love.   A fantastic game missing one major thing, an active playerbase.

There is not tournament or grand campaign associated with Phoenix Down. This is simply an opportunity for everyone to get on a server and cause havoc. In that case, it is a perfect opportunity for new players to pick up the game and duke it out with other complete newbies.

If this is successful, a tournament or something similar may come out of this.

Shamelessly successful plug, I'm game.

Well are there actually servers that allow you to connect with the trial version of Crysis Wars? Because otherwise you'd have to buy the game for this mod...

Yes. At least three are.
