LinWarrior 3D - An Open Source Linux MW2 Remake

Post by Col.Kell »

I just thought this discovery was worth posting up on here;

Apparently back in 1999, someone decided to create an open-source MechWarrior 2 remake for Linux called, "LinWarrior 3D", and have sense then been making newer versions and features.

@Skyfaller:
I thought I'd put it here to see if you would want to look into the open-source code and mess around with stuff. ;)
I obviously can't play it because I don't know how to do a darn thing in Linux and I don't have OpenGL :roll:

Very interesting, thanks for posting this. I wonder if the person behind this is still around.

I forgot to mention, the latest version of this game was made February 8th of this year, so the guy who made this is (without doubt) still at it. I'm pretty sure you can contact him if you wish to discuss anything.
