Previous users are correct, it is simply a scrambled picture of the commando. The code name "Artemis" is a guidance system that makes LRMS more accurate, a somewhat vague description for the website.



The countdown seems likely to corroborate with E3.

I hate to say it bud, but i dont see it.

Edit: E3 starts offically starts on june 5... 7 days from now. Unless its a pre E3 announcement. And if its that, its probably going to be the relase date

The question is why, though? I mean, I can understand them pulling a prank like this as April Fools, but so close to E3? The very fact that it has its own webpage with a countdown means it has some sort of significance.

They mixed in other, already released mech concepts so people wouldn't be able unscramble it. I seriously doubt there is even a piece of the next mech in there yet.

The commando Portion of the image is Duplicated and the rotated 180 degrees, Its actually looks like its 4 different blocks the begin with that were then rotated together post scramble, im working on rebuilding the image as best i can.

Almost. That pelvis and hip assembly is a Centurion. You can clearly see a Centurions right arm in that bit, just like in the concept art. EDIT: As has been pointed out several times by the time I posted this, go figure

So the image is, at least mostly, pre-existing material. But what does it signify? Well, neither the Commando or Centurion have been shown in any gameplay footage yet. Maybe They're finally ready to reveal the in-game assets in an E3 demonstration?

i don't see it expect maybe thats commando head but still its i can't say for sure arms don't look like its commando arms where is the fist then ???

[Rooster Fett]

Are these all mechs that have Artemis? (Commando, Catapult, Centurion?) Maybe the next mech will also have Artemis?

[Raalic]

there isn't a single complete 'mech in this picture. do not waste your time with it, yet.

[MitchellTyner]

it's just the Wednesday release that got pushed back for 5 days b/c something went wrong. No need to panic lol.

[Randalf Yorgen]

probably a commando but the items marked cicada leg and catapult cockpit in the picture above kind of remind me of a Stormcrow shoulder with the over the head joint and missle launcher......


Still though, nice to see something new in the way of information releases

It's possible we will be shown new gameplay footage with those 'Mechs.

Or it's the new salvage system that lets you take parts of half blow apart mech frames and merge them together. It's a Commapult... or Catmando.. or some other fusion of those words.

hahahahahh catmando

[Teutatis]

That part that some people think is a piece of a Commando...look at it upside down. Cyclops?

Indeed, those 3 Mechs all have an Artemys IV Variant in common...

They also are Light, Medium and Heavy Chassis...

Should we expect an Assault with an Artemys IV Variant ? Like an Archer or a Stalker next week ? /drool...

Edit: My bad, Archer is a Heavy heh.

Maybe that's when we get the open beta...
