Will you be a living legend or a forgotten casualty? MechWarrior:Living Legends (MWLL) is a total conversion modification for Crysis, MWLL is at its very core a mix between First Person Shooter and Simulation. This will be achieved through the use of a mixed arms massively multiplayer gaming experience where the player takes part in a battle using a variety of vehicles and weapons MWLL is using the concepts pioneered by the “Battlefield” franchise and more recently Crysis, of a sandbox feel where you get to play what you want and how you want it. MWLL depicts the epic struggles between the two factions of Battletech “The Clans” and “The Inner Sphere” In the project we will be bringing some of the legends of MechWarrior back to life.

Ho ho ho Merry Christmas and merry Mod of the Year. 108,891 votes and 6,878,383 visitors over 20 days. We shovelled the punched ballot cards into the local ModDB super computer, ran our algorithms and watched the computer churn the raw data into our top 10 list. We lost the lives of many talented scientists and computer experts, but it was worth it because now we have something awesome to share with our community.
Your votes have decided this years Mod of the Year and the results speak for themselves.
To qualify for the top 10, the mod must place higher than it has in previous years and must have had a significant update in 2011. Otherwise an honorable mention is given, which these teams have received:
Placing very high once again Forgotten Hope 2 is still proving its relevance still in 2011. Having placed first in previous years you can't do any better than first place!
Project Reality: Battlefield 2 a staff favourite for years, and since its win a few years back PR has still be extremely popular within ModDB. No surprise that it receives another Honorable Mention.
while being a Star Wars IP Galactic Warfare is still just as popular as it was a last year, however like most honorable mentions it did not place high enough to be its previous best.
MechWarrior: Living Legends has once again proven that well designed mods do not go unnoticed. Placing very high once again this year, you cannot win twice!

The Last Days
After nearly 5 years, The Last Days Of The Third Age Of Middle Earth Mod 3.0, for Mount&Blade 1.011 (not for Warband) is, after many years, finally released! The previous version of this mod released in 2007 is still the most downloaded mod for the original Mount and Blade, surpassed only by two mods for Warband. Let's see how the newly released version will do!
7
Blitzkrieg
There are many new features added to Blitzkrieg like a much more realistic Weapon damage system, new skins for infantry and tanks (and wrecks) also including many of custom tank skins, new units for all factions, modified and enlarged Commander Trees (now 16 Upgrades!), new abilities, new sounds and recommended new maps included!
6
C&C: ShockWave
The main goal of this mod is to make Zero Hour a more interesting game with more diversity between the generals, making you think twice before you select a certain general, and overall provide more choices, diversity, and strategic freedom than in Zero Hour - while keeping the spirit and design direction of the original Generals game and storyline.
5
The Stanley Parable
an experimental narrative-driven first person game. It is an exploration of choice, freedom, storytelling and reality, all examined through the lens of what it means to play a video game. You will make a choice that does not matter. You will follow a story that has no end. You will play a game you cannot win.
4
CoH: Eastern Front
Following the ethos of mimicking a Relic Entertainment expansion pack, Eastern Front has succeeded in adding a full Soviet faction packed with unique and exciting units to the existing armies - a feat never before achieved in the Company of Heroes world.
3
No More Room in Hell
the long awaited HL:2 zombie modification released back in October on Halloween. The mod is a cooperative survival horror game that focuses on moving from one objective to another. Players fight against a world full of AI controlled zombies, unlike most titles who deal with zombies there is a constant threat that your friends will turn into flesh eating monsters. Tread carefully.
2
Third Age - Total War
a total conversion modification for 'Medieval II: Total War - Kingdoms Expansion' that brings you into the world of Middle-earth. The Production has been going since March 2008 and the mod is still well under development and boasts a variety of new features.
1
Multi Theft Auto
a multiplayer mod for the Windows version of Rockstar North's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that adds an otherwise absent online multiplayer component. In 2009 MTA was officially distributed as the first open source release. This release abandoned the now obsolete "Deathmatch" tag in the product name to emphasize on the versatility of the software.

I would have thought Underhell to be the winner, but whatever. Congrat's to the 3 HL2 mod's to make it in the top 10.

Lol that number 1 must be a joke or a mistake in video editing :P. RaW or 3rd Age is the winner...
Multi Theft Auto got nearly 3 times the votes Third Age Total War did.
(buried)
I said its a joke because i can't believe what this generation plays...seriously...mine craft and gta...hilarious
I know right?!?!
I hate Minecraft and I've become bored of Grand Theft Auto!
It's not the quality of the video that matters, it's the gameplay. You should actually try playing it before saying something else is better.
I agree on that, even though I don't prefer GTA! I'm actually surprised that a GTA mod got it to the top! I should check it.
Well, congrats MTA team ^_^
Also congratulations for the others.
MTA has one of the largest communities out there, having been developed since the year 2003. It is being developed non-stop since then, with hundreds of gamemodes that convert this game in the game of the games. In my humble opinion, it surely deserves being the mod of the year.
Sir you deserve a +1
Without that mod I would have not been addicted to GTA since 2006 ;)
(buried)
It's a total shame, this MOTY was stolen, that's all. A total anonymous mod winning, and not even a mod, but a simple tool.
It can't be a total anonymous mod with over 2 million downloads and more than 40,000 unique players daily in the public servers. It has one of the greatest communities with tons of people contributing to the project and making it better every day. With almost a half million of lines of code, it surely isn't a "simple" tool. And of course it is a mod, as it is modding and extending the GTA San Andreas functionalities. I invite you to try it out and then come back and share your opinion with us. You can download it from Mtasa.com
word
Why the hell has project reality that image in front of it? Media.moddb.com
i asked myself that too
Thanks for saying "2003" because if you hadn't said that I wouldn't have downloaded MTA but now I know it's actually for SA not GTA4.
So what if it has the largest community out there? MTA's community size is dwarfed by SA-MP's yet SA-MP isn't even in the top 10. Community size don't mean ****
You are right, the community quality is also important. Maybe that's the reason why MTA won the Mod Of The Year award, an award that SA:MP has never been able to win.
I actually prefer SA-MP
You actually never tried MTA you mean. I've been a SA-MP fanboy too, and played it for over a year. I always said MTA sux and SA-MP had what I needed to make a server. Until I just tried MTA. My mind was literally blown, I couldn't understand why I didn't play MTA before. Now two years later I still play MTA with my soul and using every single possibility from MTA which SA-MP does not have.
So there you go, don't be affraid, just give it a shot as I did. You can thank me later :)
HL2 and it's mods aren't the best gaming has to offer...
Thank god that someone finally said that!
I can't understand why most people who use the Source engine don't seem to be aware of any other games that compensate for modding. I develop on the Source engine, I play Half Life 2, and it's one of my favorite games, but that doesn't mean that I can't sit down and enjoy a game of GTA, Gears of War, or COD!
Come on People!
come up with some better examples... those games are so horribly overrated it isnt funny
CoD - Boring every year copied crap for activision to print money on its every year release
Gears of War - Overrated, short, lack of a good storyline and ****** multiplayer
GTA - I was fan of it. Played and passed the storyline of every GTA at least 10 times. Found all Easters and collectibles. But seriously... By that time it extremely bored me out, even with mods..
Source engine however is the great tool to create not only mods but awesome *** standalone games. It has no limits
It doesn't even deserve 10th if you ask me, but okay. It's all opinions.
But I can boldly say; I'm sick of MOTY entries being 80-100 percent Source mods. Especially Source mods that don't deserve the award. This is why I like editors choice way better. The other entries in here absolutely deserved it, though. Especially the top 2 and the 4th. (can't comment on NMRiH, couldn't play it)
Have you even ever played the hl2 mods? Underhell is extremely fun, with innovative gameplay and a good storyline. Can't wait for more parts to the story to come out. They are fun and if you think they don't deserve the top spot then try playing them first and then posting your opinion.
I'm very, very late on this but I have one quick rebuttal: You clearly have he LOOSEST definition of the word "innovative" I have ever seen in use.
**** YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH THIRD PLACE
Number 3! More like Number 1 HL:2 Mod of the year ;)
Congrats to all the winners!
Well done fellow NMRiHers! We kicked some serious ***! Congrats to everyone who won this year :)
Yessssss. Now if you thought NMRiH was awesome this year, just wait until next year. HL2 forever! Congrats all and happy new year!
Hell yeah!
Wooooo! Congrats to everyone at NMRiH, but especially to the entire community. Also congratulations to everyone working on a mod, especially those who got in the top ten this year!

kungfu rabbit and gtammo...a rickroll video would fit a lot better then a showcase
Crazy good fighting game and (almost) MMO GTA?
**** yes give me more of this!
Congrats to all the winners! Very well done NMRiH team :D
Now THIS is a true #1. Finally!
congrats to all :P
Snob. EDIT: Reply fail to TruthKing. Congrats to all.
**** yea! MTA ALL THE WAY!
RaW ftw!!! Crackin the top 10!
Definitely think that third age should have won, I'm not even sure that multi theft auto should have been in the top ten at all
WOW ShockWave mod still made it in top ten, still it is a great mod.
ShockWave will keep its value for years to come because people keep on discovering and promoting the mod (just check my review)
Bleh, as always, to much half life...
Project Reality: Battlefield 2 + Picture from Operation Black Mesa.
Plz fix it.
Well, I would've preferred that Allied Intent Extended got at least a honorable mention, but well, not everything is possible, congratulations to the winners!!
Aye, it never received the attention it deserved. :(
Congrats to the winners! Some great mods this year, here's hoping for a smashing 2012!
Meh, NMRiH was the worst mod I've played. Nice graphics but really ****** gameplay. We had much more fun team killing each other than actually play it serious.
Would have loved to see Titan:XCIX there.
