Coming this June:

• What is Artemis?
  
• E3
  
• Another Tweet chat
  
• More Closed Beta invites
  
• More 'Mechs

Not "Battlemech 12".
Not "Mech".
"Mechs".

It has pretty much been the consensus around here that MWO will ship with 12 'mechs, I don't know where this came from, but we seem pretty dead-set on it. But I suppose we will be getting a few more. 16 mechs, perhaps?

[Rummy Kegstealer]

I'm Hoping to see a Firefly soon =D

[Solis Obscuri]

Yes, that does sound promising...

Though, of course, even 1 is "more" than we already have...

[JHare]

I'm gonna keep hoping for my all time favorite Orion to show. But of the 11 revealed so far four have been designs I've always liked a lot. So From here on it's all icing on the cake

[Kanatta Jing]

The consensus wasn't that it would, but that it could. And it seemed like a good "at least" estimate.

16? Sure

Well they hired an artist and got him doing the concept art. It shouldn't take him more then a week to go from sketch to finished product. (It's basically really complex character art, without backgrounds.)

The slow down point will likely be the 3d-modeler. That stuff is a pain.

And word is that they just patched the Dragon into the Beta.

And of course... their intention is to put all the Mechs that they can into the game...

Because that effects their bottom line.

The more the merrier I say.

Though now that the cataphract is out I'm good to go

[atgmelv]

Fingers crossed for the Penetrator! I must've read "Measure of a Hero" a dozen times. Then I'm going to swap out the large laser for an ER large laser. Hahahahaa!

Freakin' letter opener...I don't know if I've ever been so upset about something in a book prior to that.

[Fresh Meat]

The best part about this game is we will all get our favorite mech eventually, within reason

[Semyon Drakon]

Personally I am hoping it's in response to a decision permitting use of the unseen in reseen form. I want my Marauder!

Or even an Archer, those are fun too....

Semyon

[akaChrisHimself]

This gives me hope for an Orion.

Well if they'd give me some model sheets and specs, I could help them with that.

[Helmer]

Not to be a negative Nancy or anything but 13 revealed mech art concepts do not necessary equate to 13 fully realized and playable 'mech chassis .

I'm sure they are we on their way to being implimented , but if they are not all in at launch I wouldn't be terribly shocked . I have full faith in PGI and their ability to released quality content .



Cheers.

[Rayah]

Yeah, I heard that too, I'm guessing they'll release a few more before the official launch.

But, exactly how many?

[Orion Pirate]

Could just mean more variants to the 12...

P.S. I would be expecting them to roll out at least one new mech every two weeks once the game goes live.

[Evinthal]

I really would be blow away if they some how and some way got to put in the original 13 'mechs. Hello unseen!

So much speculation is going on about the Artemis thing. I just hope it is something amazingly awesome, worth all the hype.

[Killashnikov]

I dont care much anymore...
I'm just so damn happy they are making this game!!!
Thank You!
Thank You!
Thank You!
Thank You!

Cant find the thread that had the Q&A they did a little while ago where it was stated that there would be dozens of mech and it was then also said in another Q&A that there would be 24+Mech and Variants at launch.

I think 14 will be our lucky number.

[Hanged Man]

It seems clear that there will be more! That's pretty exciting to me, particularly given that E3 is here and I think we're expecting big news to come out of it. I know what I'm crossing my fingers for...

[Slab Squathrust]

Does anyone know the status of the warhammer, is it even a possibility? I have heard various rumors that there are some legal issues involved in its inclusion. I used that mech a ton back in my MW2 days (granted it may have been the clan version). I was just a fun mech to pilot. I really got my hopes up seeing original trailer where it fights the atlas. If it doesnt make its way in I guess I'll have to stick with the catapult.
