I am normally supportive of PGI, both verbally and financially.

When my existing catapults Missile Ears are repaired, I will buy a jester as I originally planned. No sooner.

That said, I like the changes to the K2. But whoever decided it was a good idea to strap lightbars to the missile launchers of Alex` beautiful catapults nees to be..... hmmm.... put in a dark room without food until he or she realizes their mistake

If it was Alex hiimself, he needs to be sent to rehab and then put in the same dark room when he gets back

well..... that looks hideous

[focuspark]

Epic fail PGI. Revert your change. Undo this {Scrap}. Just suck it up and admit your ****** up with the Catapult redesign. FIX IT

[Deathlike]

I would consider the "missile tube add-on" to the Catapult's ears as an "ear infection" or a "massive earwax buildup".

QQ-tip anyone?

Now that's good reasoning. Thank you for this inspiring discussion.

Actually, that's EXACTLY why they did it the way they did. You may not like it, but it is what it is.

You want more, it's the way it is because they had to attach points where a weapon could go for a hardpoint, and they are doing the same weapon designs for weapons across most of the mechs, they don't have the manpower to make it more reasonable like you and many other are suggesting, You don't like it? Then drive something like the "factory release" mechs.

Could it be better with different size catapult standard missile pod? Yes of course, they have their 3d artists working on clan mechs right now, and the guys that set these ones up are mostly programmers. I'm DREAMING of something like this happening with the MadCat when it comes out and people getting all QQ'd about that also

I'm sure there will be something else in 2 weeks for people to get PO'd off though. This community is nothing if not consistent.

[Hoboshank]

annnnnnnd... they're still using the old design without the "VCRs" to preview the A1©. Becasue false advertising is the only way they're gona sell this piece of ****!

Incorrect. They changed LRM15 pod on the A1/C1 to the larger LRM20 pod from the C4. You can't drive the factory design anymore either, you MUST drive a Catapult with bigger launcher pods. Even if you mount a pair of Streaks on the C1, you get an LRM20 box. Stock LRM15? You get an LRM20 box. Pair of SRM6s? You get an LRM20 box and a free VCR.

Oh, you liked these 'mechs?

You can't have them anymore. We now have improved versions that are worse.

Alistair: Please, please, can I have a Catapult Hero mech that looks kind of like a cross between the Founder's mech and the K2? I would literally buy two of those.
PGI: No! We will give you this!
Alistair: What the hell is that!? Oh well, at least I have my regular-
PGI: Also, we made your regular Catapults uglier.
Alistair: DOH!

[Agent 0 Fortune]

so if I elect not to mount any missile weapons on my CPLT-C1 does that mean it doens't have ears at all, like the Thunderbolts missile rack?

Basic, they don't have enough guys working on it, but have set times when stuff must be done is still the same.

Honestly, I agree with you and others complaining about it, but i don't think it will change, so I'm just going to enjoy it the way it is, life's too short to get PO'd about stuff like this.

I would also buy two pointy-nosed K2 heroes so long as they didn't have obnoxious paintwork.

But they could've at least left my C1 alone. It didn't do anything wrong.

Life's too short NOT to get upset about things that can become a trend ruining the things you DO enjoy in your short life.

There's a thread going. May as well chime in.

[Airborne Thunder]

My main complaint is that the new ears just look bad. It doesn't look as sleek and sexy as it used to. Now it looks comical. This sucks because my Cat A1 was one of my favorites. Now it just looks like a C4. Thanks again PGI.


Edit: PGI please find the people responsible for this decision and fire them. Seriously. I think they work for World of Tanks and are purposely sabotaging what has the potential to be a great game with stupid decisions.

[Ngamok]

Why is everyone complaining? According to all you forum goers, the ears aren't the problem. You are going to die through the cockpit anyways because that's all gets hit apparently.

[Scott Decoy Stone]

not happy. not happy at all...

With this world that seems like you would spend most of it upset with that attitude. Also get off my lawn.

[Roosterfish]

I'm gonna have my mech repair guys weld some patio furniture and a grill on one ear with a hot tub or pool on the other.

that and the PPC arm barrel have been replaced with twigs.





i'm glad i don't play this game anymore. would have been much worse to see them destroy these beautiful mechs with poor craftsmanship and shortcut mentality if i was still playing

This makes me very, very sad..

The K2 was one of the coolest mechs in the game with the PPC barrels (IMO).
