I doubt that they will make one this year, based on what happened when they Urbie Pranked us.

Considering how much money they stand to make on the Urbie, I expect them to do one again this year. If it works out similarly, they could be raking in the cash in 6-9 months.

They pranked us with Urbie. It's in the game.

My guess is whatever they prank us with will be in the game next year.

They can prank me with a Huntsman announcement, if it ends up like the Urbie.

Kickstart that one!

PGI declares that they will be sending the timeline into 3057, where we can all have our bushwackers, Kodiaks, and THEN we can get into that non-cannon storyline about the miscellaneous merc unit with a commander only known as Spectre, who with the help of a Woman known as Castle, take OVER THE IS. HUEHUEHUE.

Total JRPG style graphics overhaul, in response to the numerous complaints about tiny guns.

How about making an anachronistic hero version of the UrbanMech-AIV called "The Kell Hound's Bane" a trial mech for a day?

Thank you, I would have gone nuts trying to remember which one it was. For those that don't know, when Battletech (the table top game MWO is based on) was brought to Japan they had to make new art for many of the mechs (because most of the art in the original US version was licensed from known anime/manga sources in Japan), and a few mechs (like the Hunchie) got a facelift to fit in with the new art direction. Honestly, some of the Japanese art could be normalized a little. I recall someone once took the Japanese Stalker art and 'shopped out a few of the extraneous fins/flangs, and it looked great... A little like a submarine, but still great.

Naw, need something way more than epic to pull the wool over our eyes.
