Has anyone heard about or played this game? I have fond memories of chromehounds, and while this is still early alpha, it has a running mech building garage, single-player, and multi-player (just battles--the territory capture is some ways off).
The animations look a little wonkie, but if it manages to get mech customization, squads/territory control, and tactical warfare with recon, artillery, etc, ala Chromehounds, I would be quite happy.
Features:
You can choose from thousands of parts across over 30 different categories to design and build your MAV, from the ground up, or pick from community shared designs.
Fight in many different game modes, with the freeform Arena and Siege mode, to the single player story, or the persistent campaign mode.
Experience intense mech combat, with realistic projectiles, physics based weapon recoil, individual part damage, and fantastic environments.
In the campaign mode, build up your captured territories with additional defenses, place turrets to help fight off invaders, and hire and recruit AI rebels to fight alongside you. Changes you make on a territory level effect the battlefields and can change the balance of power.
Full customization of your MAV, with millions of combinations possible, different paint jobs and camo patterns, along with decals, you will always be able to express yourself and be unique on the battlefield
Each part can be individually destroyed (weapons disabled, movement slowed to a crawl, etc), and armors and spacers allow you to hide or place vital parts like cockpits in unique places. Roles range from recon mechs on wheels with light guns, to snipers and artillery, to front assault, to mobile command centers that allow your team a radar view of a portion of a map around you, to basically anything else you can think of. Pretty cool.
