Following on the heels of the 3PV you've all been clamouring for, PGI announces a range of new features to bring accessibility to a wider audience including:

New modules!


You know you've been missing it since your CS and CoD days, so wait no more!


With the Uber module, you can Teabag even harder. And it's not P2W! It might be OP though!


Upskill your regular old Teabag module with the Improved Teabag skill.


Make someone randomly disconnect at the start of the match. Might even be someone on your team, as if it was just the opposite side, that would be P2W. Not necessary in current meta because this module is currently equipped to all 'Mechs free of charge at the moment for testing.

Additional Bitching Betty voice cues!

Including old favourites such as:

• Headshot!*
  
• Double Kill!
  
• Multi-Kill!

A new and exciting map which "suits the current meta"!


Yes, it's your old favourite, CS_Dust!



New, exciting cockpit item!

We wouldn't want you bronnies feeling left out, so here is a great cockpit item for you!



In an MWO first, we now have our first external 'appearance item'.

Mech nuts! (Thanks BlackWiddow_NZ) Enjoy your view of then from third person!



Coming soon:

• Mechkini (Think bikini)
  
• Mech sunglasses

Screw it! I've just been informed by the art department that the Mankini is ready. We haven't tested it yet (So watch out for black screens, LRMapocalypse or the return of the HUD bug), but we anticipate overwhelming demand!



Lastly



For those concerned about things like HSR that used to work, don't worry! The people who work on the art assets aren't the same as the people fixing gameplay bugs!

Have fun everyone!

Wait! Surprise!

A new 'Mech is coming! via Bryan Ekman's Twitter account!:

You know how you kinda thought the Victor was coming? Well we've changed it to the clan Supernova! Don't ask why! It's a new 'Mech! Isn't that great! It REALLY suits the current meta!



...What? There's nothing wrong with six Clan ER PPCs. Heck, at least it doesn't have jumpjets**!

PS - Garth still likes whiskey. Or steak. Or both. I can't quite remember which.

* Someone has actually asked for this
** Please note the Hero Supernova will have jumpjets.

• PPS: Inspiration for Teabag modules based on people ACTUALLY asking for this.
  
• PPPS: Please note the above post is a parody. We do love the work you're doing on the game PGI, or we wouldn't be here, but some times some of us feel you'd rather we weren't.

I hope they introduce 4th person view with a MC only module...

To quote someone else from a while back...

"Screw 3VP. I want 2PV".

10/10. Would pay 2000 million dollars for this, sell my own soul, harvest 200 other people souls, and make a pact with the devil for this to be real.


Not.

Is this the thread where I suggest those lovely accessories for our mechs?

[Tekadept]

I just cant wait for the orbital Strike module. How MC would that cost?

This is how you accessorize

Soon, but it won't do much damage, so you can just ignore it. Either that or it will be OP. We haven't decided yet...

Our Hat coders are busy working on CW, so hats are due in January 2014. We do have an exclusive hat pre-order coming in December! (No MC sale though. That cost us too much!).

Whenever you get a 3 game winning streak, you get one of these which will insta-kill 4/8 of the other team, based purely on the highest alhpa.

GoGo Orbital Nuke!!!

2pv view from your mech statue on the dash ?

So it will translate to something like this?

No. That's the current artillery visual. More like this:

The introduction of melee with the Falcon punch module

[BlackWiddow NZ]

Mechkini you say?

[Tekadept]

For melee I want Ultramagnetic Top

Followed by Rocket Punch

With a Laser Sword to finish them off

How did you get access to this! Only a select few developers had access to those upcoming features! We have a leaker*!

* Or the NSA has access to our content. I knew we shouldn't have used Google Drive!

[-Cal-]

I hereby endorse all of the above. We need a Voltron mech too... a lance can turn into a uber robot for epic combos!

Here is a mech that would balance the current PPC meta.



Naval PPCs.

Nobody will use the regular PPCs again.

Oh, and plenty of room for Gauss rifles and AC20's

[Tekadept]

I want this mech so, its looks like its much more suitable for boating.


P.S I had this fella for realz. I was so dissapointed I didnt get a real transformer
