This is mad props with the fact he signed up two years ago and this is his first post. You were just waiting for this, eh?

Are you going to shell out for several thousand MC? Or play mechs you don't like for weeks/months to earn the C-bills in order to afford what will be a fairly expensive set of mechs?

I just cant get what so many people see in this one. In my eyes its one of the most ugly mechs ever.

But i can see its use as some kind of mobile stepstone for jumping mechs. ;)

It packs enough firepower to make a Daishi scared. It is basically the Inner Sphere equivalent of the Daishi.

That might be worth the price of admission! You and the first person to get the Crab give it a go, will ya?

If you have never played MWO, then your body is not ready for the curb-stomping you are about to experience. Assaults are the most difficult class to play for a new player. You have to know the maps perfectly.

I advise you to buy some MCs, get some discounted mechbays, get the hero CN9-AH for free and play the game. By January, you might get the experience needed to pilot the Crab.

You are really overestimating the complexity of this game.

Well, kind of. But there's a lot to learn in terms of ghost heat, weapon refire rates and loadouts, map nuances, etc.

All of my RL friends that I tried to get into MWO have stopped playing. They either prefer more forgiving experience (Battlefield) or something that requires more thought (XCom strategy games).

I haven't seen anyone getting into MWO and doing well from the start. Most struggle to get more than 100+ damage before dying. The learning curve in this game is brutal.

And the game is full of nuances. For example, did you know you can lock an ECM mech within 180-200 meter range?

I do not see why looks are a problem for people. Virtually all original BT designs are in the running for the Most Fugly Mech Ever title. 80's cheese in all of its glory.

Not really, mechanically it's basically an AC/40 Jager with a very poorly thought out medium build stuck on top of it. Aside from a unique hardpoint layout that gives assault players some new options it's nothing special.

That statement made me think of an episode from Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Beautiful song attached to it all and it's strangely appropriate for you King Crab fans.
