LRM's and L Lasers for long range, L Lasers and M Lasers for enclosing targets, M Lasers and SRM's for short range combat... A well balanced work horse. This thing defends well and spears an advance well...

Yes! The Killer Egg is back! Looks good, too! This would be my chosen assault ride.

YEA! I was hoping for this machine. Such beautiful destruction.

[Sinitron]

This is really cool, it is very nice and fancy but also easily recognizable as the Stalker. I'm glad it got in.

i know im going to get flak from this... but...

I HATE this mech. Let me say i love the work the devs are doing... but this mech looks like SOMEONE is trying to compensate if you know what i mean. Like most of you I also played pen and paper. mw3 mw4 and tesla with firestorm. I under stand The power the mech can wield and no doubt it is going to be fierce on the field But as a simulation... I hate the way it looks.

Just to clarify
Im a guy
no need to compensate
im married
I will be Buying the founders pack.

just hate the physical appearance of the stalker.

let me add It looks as good as possible largely thanks to the design team.

Excellent facelift of an old icon. More hardpoints than it knows what to do with. If I add an assault to my mechbay, this is a strong contender.

Open up the artwork for the Catapult, Raven & Stalker in separate windows & tab between them. Can you see it? The "Eggs on Legs" designs have a cohesive look which has never been there before. Companies of these three mechs together will look incredible.

Sweet. I do enjoy this ride.

The ***** of Doom was made for Penetrating heavy fortifications and to spread the love all over the place . .
It always had to worry about overheating and going off before it was time too . .

The 5M Variant is one of my all time favourites, i only change 2 things on that one.
First: kick out the NARC. At least the Ammo in the leg. That is just stupid.
Second: swap places of LRM and SRM. Arm-Flip with 2xMedium Laser and 1xSRM6 on each side will make short work of most anything fast enough to actually get behind the Mech . .

I'll take FD's over the old art any day of the week. There is no way in heck that the old design could actually stay stable with the way it's legs were set up.



Edit: For some goofball reason after another look at the Stalker I want to give it as big an engine as I can and M.A.S.C.. It would have to sacrifice firepower to do so, but that is one tauric mech configuration. CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice :-) an all time fav! nicely done!

[Diligent Gravy]

I remember this guy from MW2.... well the rework is great looking thats for sure!

Not sure what mech outside of the founders choice I want to take, this might be one of them who knows but its definately military functional looking

Well, your taste is yours, but frankly - at this point the Stalker doesn't look any more "compensating" than a Catapult or any other chicken walker. I'd say giant legs (making it worthy of its name, as it seems like it has a much higher vantage point than most CWs) are more of this redesign's defining feature rather than the... unimaginatively-shaped fuselage.

Yes. FD fixed them.
