Massively.com seems to have the scoop with MWO's latest trailer, showing off the new night vision and thermal vision modes in action, as well as the HIGHLANDER!!!

Check out the video here!

EDIT: MMORPG.com has hosted this in YouTube format:

...painted heavily in red, yes.

Highlander Design looks brutal, love it.

edit: a tad low on "details" perhaps, but still!

Note that there appears to be loudspeakers mounted above and on the sides of the cockpit...

watching vid and at 23 secs had to stop, If that's the highlander looks impressive

[TimTheEnchantor]

'Dat Highlander.

[DirePhoenix]

Here's the Highlander concept art for comparison... the one in the trailer definitely has loudpeakers all over the cockpit that the concept does not (I wonder what it's blasting?)

They can simply make Rhonda's one. And make it a normal one but PINK and with loud speakers aroudn it that keep playign music. A LOT of people would pay money for that!

(that was back in december, i guess they delivered)


thats Rhonda's pink loudspeaker highlander.

but if they added loudspeaker to her mech maybe the yenlowang will get his claws.

I don't know...the Highlander concept art sure looks great, but the one in the trailer looks kinda wierd......
Is it the low res texture? Or is the polygon counts too low? Doesn't look as menacing as the concept art.

[Star Captain Obvious Kerensky]

Anyone else notice that the highlander has left arm energy hardpoints? No stock variant (in our time line anyway) has that. Either PGI is starting to put hardpoints that don't perfectly conform to canon, or thats a Hero variant.

I have to agree. It sure looks not bad in game, but the misslelauncher tubes are kind of awkward. Looks like 6 massive ones and besides that 10 small ones in the right torso and 3 thick in the right arm (I don't believe that are ballistics). The concept has 20 in the torso and 6 in the arm. I hope that it is just because of the obvious hero variant.

It is a Highlander... it is obviously skurling for all it's worth, and blasting bagpipe music all over the place. March of Cambreadth seems like a safe bet.

[ferranis]

Hero Highlander it seems.
