Crytek revealed today that the upcoming MechWarrior Online will use CryENGINE 3, the same engine used to power Crysis 2 earlier this year. The engine will be used to augment the game's physics-based animations as well as its destructible environments.

MechWarrior Online was announced earlier this month and features four modes. Mech Warfare is standard mech vs. mech combat, Role Warfare allows players to "customize their experience to suit their own style of gameplay," Community Warfare involves battling for territorial control and Information Warfare "incorporates information technology to help control the fight."
