Ugh, those tiny, tiny PPC nipples on the Awesome...

What is it with you guys and making PPCs tiny?

Well... At least the Dragon looks ok.
Centurion seems somewhat improved too.
Edit: Saw them in-game, absolute rubbish.
Overall: 6.5/10, new score 0.5/10. Good job

The Mando arms got a tad larger...not quite Lynxed, but half way there.

LRM20 X-5!!!

These... don't actually look that bad.

[Quicksilver Aberration]

The Cicada makes me happy, though I am not sure whether I like the high mounted energy on the 3C just due to how much it seems to stick out.

The Awesome makes me a little sad because of the lack of PPCs looking like cannons, but that is pretty much consistent with all mechs and their PPCs. The right arm reminds me of the Centurion's arm a little too much and I am a little disappointed with it. That said, I love the missile rack changes and the 4 PPCs in the torso ends up looking pretty awesome so overall I am impressed, especially because there was a lack of PPC nipples like the Griffin currently suffers from (among others). Not gonna lie, with PPCs getting buffed it almost made me want to own one, almost.

The Dragon and Cent have similar arms when ballistics are mounted and I like the bulk up, though something seems weird about the extra geometry. Overall an improvement but something still looks....weird.

The Commando luckily does not seem to suffer Mist Lynx arm box disease any more than it already did and definitely approve of the more stylized approach to missile mounts on this mech (and the others) and hope this trend continues. Still won't rebuy them until I get more reason to run one though.

That's what happens when you take a really cold shower. Your PPC nipples shrink!

[zagibu]

I was really, really skeptical, but I must say, they are really well done, I am overall content.

This patch is going down as one of, if not THE best patch in MWO history. Keep it up, PGI, and you might win back a lot of fans.

Was there a Cent with the AC20?

No, they didn't show it off.
Just AC10, LBX10, AC2, the Goose ruffle and UAC5.

They also didn't show off CN9-ALs energy hardpoints.

The YLW/AH will look even more beast!

[Spheroid]

too much gun metal. Whats the point of painting something like the Dragon in a desert scheme if the entire right arm is black and shiny?

Camo and paint needs to be full body or it is significantly less attractive. That will effect the bottom line I assure you.

That's the biggest gripe for me. Even bigger than the tiny ppc nipples.

They should really make the Gun-metal parts follow the mech's camo scheme. Especially since they have a habit of making half your bloody mech covered with the Unpainted Gun-metal, just because you decided to use LRMs.

But overall, i think this update is ok.

They look not as bad as I thought they would on the Awesome.. So that's good. Edit: I saw a comparison... Why.... I've always imagined the Awesome with the big open ended ppcs whirring away as their main weapon. Oh well. Tiny they are. The missles look great though.

But what about dem ppc's on the wolverine though. What are those little rinky dink things?

[Alistair Winter]

So many tiny PPCs. The players have been asking for bigger ppc's since PGI started with this dynamic geometry and PGI has consistently overlooked it. The most powerful energy weapons in the game look like tiny Maglite flashlights.



Bigger. See? Bigger.

Dat PPC size... ...can we get a correspondingly tiny Awesome as well?

[Kiiyor]

I... am surprised with how much I don't hate the Awesome.

Double PPC's in any given location look quite badass.

Also, did you see the missiles? Despite looking quite ridiculous on that left arm, it appears as though the number of available launch tubes has changed on some of the variants. Interesting.

[The Mechromancer]

please stop with the "empty slot hands!"

they look terrible!
