MWO Art Pass
Mechs yet done:

-Commando
-Cicada
-Centurion
-Dragon
-Jagermech (1/2) Side torso energy mounts and JM6-A Arm Missiles (I think)
-Cataphract
-Awesome
-Stalker

I think the Blackjack lacks specific AC's above the AC5 as well, or it's AC20 is way too narrow-bore.
Also, there's a lot of variation in scale between the same weapon fitted to different mechs. For the worst example see a firestarter with PPC fitted vs PPC on a Banshee.

All-in-all, these art passes are being done, first the older mech update, one mech per month (on average, I'd like to see it done quicker, but oh well,) then the weapon scale normalisation. They already said they want no more than 4% variance on any 2 examples of the same weapon. Also hinted at Mad Dog and Raven getting long barrel lasers on this later pass. And Large Lasers getting unique appearance.

But these things take time. It's happening, they are doing this, an IS mech pack, a Clan mech pack, a new map for the current play system, the Attack-Defend game mode and associated maps for CW, and chasing an endless string of bugs. Plus anything that hasn't yet been disclosed.
