Hey - I know that green and black raven...

Yep, haven't seen our colors fly in some time. Been looking pretty for the camera. Was that you, Fire?
Your Raven appears to be slow, what engine is in it?

DUDE. THAT. IS FRIGGIN' HILARIOUS.
A friend of mine rode my Catapult with a Raven once, but I had no idea it worked with the big 'Mech on top of the little one. XD DEFINITELY something to get looked at.

Actually, thank you. Way too many people forget to leave a like or some sort of appreciation on the videos themselves.

I love this Camo! It was really effective, I wouldn't have seen the Mech if i wouldn't have been on the same team as this guy.
If the dropship mode finally arrives, camo will have a new meaning, really looking forward to it!

We try to keep spoilers to make it easy to navigate since this is a super picture heavy and load-intensive thread. Thanks!

It looks like cbill (basic) orange, PC Gamer Gray, and one of the camo browns if you wanted to replicate it. Apparently if you have PC gamer colors you can do it with 500 cbills (or 250 during a sale) for the one MC paint and 750 (or 325 sale) woodland camo. If you don't have PC Gamer Gray, you can get something similar with one of the Premium Camo Grays found in Buccaneer or Phranken (just snag the color) or supplement it with a camo tan instead.

UI 2.0 is supposed to allow us to set a "per map" camo pattern scheme so we can have it auto change our camo with each map we go on, so that'll be pretty cool too.

This one?

First I can tell you that is not a PC Gamer Black (too much blue, no shine. That is either Midnight Blue or Modro. Could also be Phranken Black if it weren't for the blue tints.

The red is definitely Cadmium. And it isn't cheap.

(Edit: According to Lordred, it's firestarter. He doesn't buy paints. So it's PC Gamer red and black... so yeah, color filters on maps are iffy.)

One of my gripes with MWO is too much monochromatic haze and the lack of color and contrast. Your pics look sweet and I hope PGI sees them. It’s a shame that it takes tweaking enhancements to each pic to make them look this great. Not all systems can push that resolution of course but those colors and contrasts should be default in the game.

Very nice job guys. Makes the game look very very inviting. PGI needs to use yours pics on the sight and think about adjusting the default experience to be a little more colorful with deeper contrast.

There's been a bit of praise. Garth had twittered us with the statement that it helped him choose his camo. Vit's mentioned that some of the pics went up on the MWO facebook page.

These screenshots are great! We're going to share a few on our MechWarrior Online Facebook page and now that Print Screen functions by putting screenshots directly into your User folder.

It's a start, but since Lordred uses driver level hex settings to try and remove some of the grain filters that detract from MWO's beauty, well, it's pretty clear they can't really use these at the front page. Although, if they try to make the filters look less grainy and 'omg you're in yet another call of duty', then Lordred's shots might make it there.

Until then, enjoy the pretty colors. It's possible to get your game to look like that, including the color adjustments, but you'd have to start toying with your brightness, contrast, and saturation at the video card driver level. I used to do youtube vids like that, but some maps come out super dark on video for some reason.

You can achieve the same ends using SweetFX, though it takes some tweaking and understanding of the settings to get a good setup that works well on all the maps. Easier for some than playing with your drivers - and it's the only way to get custom AA with ATI cards (given how any AA settings at the driver level result in transparent textures).

True, though that's still frowned upon by PGI. Thing is, we shouldn't have to use an external plugin to make the game look good.
