Im getting kind of tired but, the numbers 13 37 43 137 followed by the mention of Comstar reminds me of something...

Arent Comstar Religious people ? How about we look at Mathiew 13:37-43 and Psalm 137 quickly ? Artemis also a Godess afterall, right ?

They where religious, but not Christian. I doubt they'd use text from the Christian Bible. Besides, I'm fairly sure it's just Paul trolling us with his 1337 speak. ^_^

I came to almost the same conclusion just awhile ago but I'm thinking 137 is in reference to General Order 137 which is about the exodus fleet returning to the innersphere.

It's not a new concept art piece. It's gonna be the MWO Launch Trailer. People at E3 don't wanna see a picture of one mech, they want to to have their minds blown by a massive video to mechs blowing the crap out of each other. I expect it to maybe be something more like what we saw in 2009 not just a gameplay video, but something that communicates to people what MWO is about.

E3!

Mechs we seen in videos: Hunchy, Catapult, Atlas, Jenner.

Mechs announced but not seen in game yet: Cicada, Centurion, Dragon (seen only as pics), Cataphract, Awesome, Raven.

What does a good E3 show makes? MECHS moving about in game perhaps?

HELL YEAH!

Anything more than that is a bonus.

Not "bonus". There is also a two-week shedule of new mechs announcements. We should get Battlemech 12 at Wednesday June 6th. 11 is an odd number, and 12, with 3 of each weight class, is fine.

Ok I've been working around the clock to enhance, and decrypt the image. After having my computer run the image code through my decrpytion algorythm I've determined the picture is this guy.

Q. Will LRMs in MechWarrior® Online™ be guided or unguided?
A. LRMs will be semi-guided. What the heck does that mean? You will be able to lock on to your target but it doesn't mean the actual missiles will home directly to the target. The chance of missing will still be part of LRM gameplay. Use of the Artemis IV system and subsequent munitions, will narrow the area of damage by focusing the flight paths of the missiles. We're finding that this is a good balance between gameplay and staying true to the BattleTech canon.

I saw this chilling in the FAQ section, don't know if anyone else noticed it and posted it yet. It does mention Artemis though, so different ammunition types confirmed atleast?

Be afraid, be very afraid. This came from Herb Beas' FB page, you know, the Line Developer for Battletech...

You're looking at the first 100+ ton premium `Mech.


Clearly, that post was from Herb's CATS. They are cruel and mysterious masters.

The new image has pieces added/removed, the piece-resolution is higher, and it seems like the Commando arms and the fuzzy backgorund Atlas Mech are no longer...

... it might have to be assembled from multiple day's images cut up and spliced together...
