how are you gauging speed based on a small blurry monitor shot?

If there were either chicks or be in this photo, we wouldn't see this game for another two years due to distractions

Actually if you look hard enough you can see a few Beers (Or at least tall dark bottles that resemble Beer bottles) just not enough of them for it to be Heaven.

Bring's a tear to my eye, been a long long wait for this game. And it's almost over!

Screen 2:

So the biggest thing I'm taking away from this is, WINDOW MODE!

So many games don't have an option to play in a window, or you have to edit something. Hopefully there'll be an easy convenient option for it, when full screen "mechstacy" gets too much and I need to multitask.

Annnd... you're both wrong

This makes for an interesting statement. Is it just a 'Mech we have already seen? Or is it something new?

I'm not seeing enough beer being consumed here. 2 spotted out of like 15 people?

by the way, what beer is that? I'm guessing could be some local canadian brew.

I'm guessing Nyuck Lager, the King's ******* heir to the throne of beers!

Garth also posted a video along with this photograph, and you can see footage as it's played on the monitors.

Is it me or do some of the HUD colors look more green that gold? Might just be the camera/angle...but I believe they did mention something about customizable HUD's

Things of note:
Screen 1: This mech is pretty low to the ground, moving fast, and the cockpit is shaking more than the bosom of an opera singer on a high note. Some kind of new light mech? Firestarter?

Windowed mode: Has a dome above the window and Piranha(?) Games below it. Looks to be stuck to a single res? Probably won't be like this on release.

As mentioned elsewhere, place is distinctly a sausage fest. With such a high concentration of males, personal hygiene is sure to be quite low. I am predicting delays on release due to constant outbreaks of man-flu.

I swear that one on the right looks like a Warhammer...in the foreground

but then again, I am making my eyes bleed searching for things, that may not be real.....

Low and fast would fit well with the Jenner.

Now with the release of the Raven, it appears the cockpit does seem to line up quite well.

Fast and low to the ground, probably a custom variant that was being piloted. What do you guys reckon?

Someone take the photo and video over to the CSI crime lab, so they can extract individual frames and put them through enhancement so we can see details that aren't even in the original images, and then they can use Visual Basic to code a GUI to track down where we can download the beta ourselves. *nodnod*

(Seriously cannot wait to get my hands on a Centurion again...)

I think you're right. It does seem to be a very good match.

[Orzorn]

That isn't a Raven, at least if it was then it isn't stock. If you look at the weapon groups, we see 4 and then 1. We've already been told that they are seperated by arm and by torso and put on left and right clicks on your mouse (And then further seperated by weapon grouping). You can see this by watching the GDC gameplay video. The Atlas medium lasers are seperate from the LRM, autocannon, SRM, and two mediums on the torso.

This has to be a Jenner, as the Jenner has 4 medium lasers on its nubby arms, and one SRM on its torso, leading to the obvious 4 - 1 split. The Raven would have 3 (two mlas and a narc) on the arms and 1 (srm) on the torso.

Its a Jenner.

Pssst-- you forgot TAG.

[Watchit]

Do we even know if TAG will make it into the game? at launch anyway?
