Taht is awesome. I especially like the lulzy giant screws on his arm shield.

So far, I have been very impressed with all of the redesigns on 'Mechs. Everything looks much better and a bit more realistic.

As for the Urbie... I think I found a leaked pic of it.

This is probably the only time I've actually liked the Centurion's looks.

I dunno about the UrbanMech... never used one in the tabletop, but I could see it being useful.

In a real-time simulation, though... not sure how great a Light Mech with a blistering top speed of just over 32kmph and only one ton of AC/10 ammo, and, when that's used up, only a small laser will actually be, even in an urban setting. I piloted one once or twice in MW2: Mercenaries for the lulz. It's like playing the game on hard mode.

In most games the idea was that you can have many of them for the price and weight limit of a bigger 'mech.

But I'd personally replace the AC/10 with a PPC and the ammo and laser with more heat sinks...

I want this so bad.

As someone who was in a full on Clan/League like, 9 years ago, I can definitely say I'll be playing this quite a bit. Really like how it is looking.

A lot of them aren't as I like a more all around type of mech. Sort of a change from my usual preference of the standard mass produced piece of crap. Usually satisfying for it to overcome more.

I'm waiting to see how Urbanmech comes out though, but the Cent definitely went to the top of the list with that concept.

MW Online has a poll up on facebook right now for which light mech you'd like to see included- the flea, the falcon, the something else, or the URBANMECH. I know you'll all make the right choice, and give the deadly trashcan its shot at the big leagues.

I'm especially excited to see if they will be bold enough to make the variant with the AC20 and turn it into the terror of the street corner..

A very good point. I saw it this morning before coming to work, I'll post the link when I get home where I can access Facebook.

Specifically it's for 30 ton mechs. Falcon, Firefly, Hermes, and Urban. Why you would choose anything other than the Falcon is beyond me.

Firefly is by far the best looking. Hermes however looks the most interesting to me, with it's insane top speed.

Firefly for me. But I don't have a facebook account because facebook sucks, so...

The firefly looks like a light mech should look. Sleek yet still extremely badarse.

I'd really prefer an anti-mech equipped version of the Flea myself, but I have odd tastes.



Or maybe it's just that I played too much MechCommander 2.

I really think I'll need to pick my mech when the game comes out and I can look at armament options and test some out, cause I seriously hate the IS Mech aesthetics.

I like Mechs that can really get in your face and feth you up, so I'm going for Atlas or Hunchback.

When the Clans come out, I'll go for a Loki, Mad Cat or Hunchback IIC and eventually a Daishi.

I personally love being artillery- overwhelming force, from an overwhelming distance.

So either Catapult, or something that can mount a couple Long Toms.

Both of those have a problem with the "can get in your face" part. Many 'mechs would simply refuse to allow the atlas or hunchback to get in their faces. The catapult for example would bombard them, run away, bombard them, run away, etc, being as fast or faster than both of them but with longer range.

That's why Mad Cats are awesome.

To be honest, I really hope the hollander is in, I loved that big gun on a little dude. Gotta love gauss rifles.

I'm glad the Mad Cat isn't in. It's overused and boring.

yeah looking forward this game, hoping since Clan Mechs' won't in at the start that will mean more IS mechs
unless they set the game during the start of clan war timeline which is fast approaching, hopefully we can
get some decent IS vs IS action before the clanners ruining the fun

I'd like to see the Clans, at least at first, be a PvE option, keeping the PvP elements in the IS for a while. I just get the feeling that lot of players will start in IS until Clan mechs become available then jump ship.

Of all the races of the universe the Squats have the longest memories and the shortest tempers. They are uncouth, unpredictably violent, and frequently drunk. Overall, I'm glad they're on our side!
