Snazzy.  Now will the human race please get off their duffs and start implementing the infrastructure necessary so that we can have internet speeds fast enough to have that kind of DM in AH?  Pretty please?

I would love to see a game based on these physics dealing with the old Steve Jackson 'Car Wars' theme.

ie:
You take a truck like that, stuff a quad 50 in back, armor plate it a bit, beef the motor an suspension,
..or mebbe a 105 recoilless rifle .. and do arena, city, open highway encounters against others.

Credits earned allow you to upgrade, newer badder vehicles (like a halftrack, semi-truck-trailer combo, armored car, etc)

Just a good old fashioned demolition derby even :)

Go check out Dark-Wind.

Man imagine AH with this. I keep stopping to day dream a little about it.

I think they already made all the objects and game world in Mechwarrior, so unless they re-do everything to use this new update to CryEngine 3 (released in 2009 btw), I doubt Mech is going to have the same physics that are being shown in this video. Updated physics, yes, but like this? No, not without major delays.

Crysis 3 is still in development so I think it will be the first game that fully uses this physics engine (even the car in the video is based on the SUV seen in other Crysis games).
might want to check that thought again...
