I don't suppose you could've been bothered to link whatever map you're looking at? Would've made too much sense to do that?

Its the boundaries of the Periphery. Look at Blackstone, specifically, on the INner Sphere map.

I dont see it, can you point it out?

I dont supposed you can be a little less of a jerk and ask him nicely.

It's not like he's doing me a favor, he just failed to provide any evidence whatsoever for his own point, which is a failure of the brain on his behalf.

Looks at new piece and then ponders. Looks at the various avatars and ponders some more. Looks at previous theory of mechs. Light suddenly goes off above head.

I think I've got an idea where this is actually going, if I'm right the white lines and what they're forming is pointing to a certain house. The only two houses the lines match would be House Kurtia a.k.a draconis combine or the Free Rasalhague League. The lines individually could be the outline of parts of a battlemech. Given my previous theory the battle mech list is narrowed down to

victor
zeus
cyclops
dabooku
longbow

thug
higlander

Just from the looking at the lines and then at the individual battlemechs. Unfortunately this is as far I can come with this hypothesis, since I'm not well versed on what battlemechs were primarily used by these two houses. The only suit that comes to mind is the Zeus which the Draconis Combine ran across, as a prototype during the opening days of the first succession wars.

its prolly the mech the other mechs were fighting =3

Just becuase he didnt provide any evidence doesnt give you a right to speak to him that way. You want his evidence, you ask nicely.

Well while you guys were arguing, I looked it up.
Here's the map of the area around Blackstone:

Blackstone is somewhat "north" of Apollo, the capital of the light blue area.
And here is the same map, with black lines added by me that vaguely match the current configuration of lighted bands.

(The map is kinda huge, but it's the only one I could find that shows Blackstone.)

I'm very skeptical about this theory: those lines could *vaguely* match tons of places, I bet, and I keep mentioning that my proposed arrangement of lines is a big guess itself.
On the other hand, Blackstone WAS attacked by the Clans in August of 3049... this could be a map of their attack routes.

Well, as I've done with the previous ones, I found a way to fit the new pic into the rest. At first I thought it'd be in the middle, but that just doesn't fit. It went better on the end.


Edit:



Yes. Yes I have. Ninja'd by the person asking me to do this lol

That's a really good attempt. May I make a few comments:

1) If a photomosaic program is used to generate the background, it is unlikely that certain portions of the images would be flipped 90 degrees. I think each can only be rotated 180 degrees as otherwise they don't consistently tessellate. For that reason I believe image 4 is incorrectly positioned.

2) I also think scale is different between the images. I would use the small image of the Atlas in the far background as a general reference image and resize each of the pictures based on that one. I think drawings 1, 2 and 4 are too large.

I like the idea that we will be able to watch streams of people playing the game at E3.

But I also like the idea that this is a large reveal of many mechs all at once.

LOL. we'll be speculating up to the announcement.. and people who missed the announcement, will keep speculating even after

There's also the chance that these things are just meaningless images

Does anyone know any 9/11 conspiracy theorists? Those idiots can find anything in a picture if they look hard enough.

I guess the catch is that they'll only find whatever they think supports their point of view, but hey, can't hurt.

I am gonna go with....its a Zeus! (just a random guess, but it doesnt look gangly enough for a marauder) I do kinda hope it is a warhammer though.

[Renan Ruivo]

Why has nobody taken all the pictures so far and aligned them together? It's pretty obvious that they are all the same picture taken from different angles.

[Adrienne Vorton]

and the devs probably (those who are not at E3 now) are just ROFLMAO-ing about the community speculating and speculating xD
