Hodor!

(translation...nice sale!)

Don't sweat any ridicule Niko, it is a great honor to be a man of the nights watch.

November is still fall, so why have winter stuff already? Dec-Jan-Feb is winter.

This month should have been a turkey bobblehead and fall colors, such as orange, yellow and red. Snowman should have been next month, and you could have a Santas Elf and Reindeer for the other two months' bobbleheads!

Here in Canada, Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar and sometime April and Oct is winter. Plus our thanksgiving was last month And anyways, the sale says "Winter is Coming", not "Winter is here"

Ceiling Mech sees all as he guards the jumppoints between our worlds.
And in this case he doesn't mind as the image comes from an official release.

Indeed. This is just a blown-up image of the picture you can find in MWT's Media>Screenshots gallery.

As well as this one:



...actually, I might buy some Cobalt this weekend and see if I can make a 7th Kommando scheme

I'm from Michigan, and served in the Army for four years in Alaska, so I'm quite familiar with the three northern seasons: winter, construction and mosquito season.

What is Canadian Thanksgiving for, anyways?...

Good point about the coming/here difference.

It's for being Thankful that they live near - but not in - the United States.

Is that abomination supposed to be a mech?

Sadly yes, the seriously bellow par modelling for this day and age plus the number limits, caused me to drop MWT before closed beta ended

Giving a dark cloud a silver linning MWO will never be the worse battletech based game as long as MWT is out there..

manganese or hellblau, help me decide.

Manganese is more versatile because it is not as bright.

The colors that came with the Phoenix Package can be used on any of my mechs. Is this the same with colors I buy individually? Can someone clarify this?

Yes, colors are universal and a one-time unlock, you can use them on all your mechs.

A discount on a sale, eh?
*Goes to Walmart, finds a 50% off, asks for a discount. Gets denied.*
....Doesn't quite work that way, sadly.

When PGI has declared a sale to celebrate my personal ascendancy, I expect discounts, bundles and coupons!

[Koniving]

My one complaint here... is that I can't use this sale on Battlemaster, Thunderbolt or Shadowhawk.

Sadly, the 4 Mechassault games already hold that title.
On the otherhand, that would put MWT in contention for maybe 5th worst

[Koniving]

There were 4 mech assaults? I was only aware of 2.

There is one thing I will say about Tactics: They got the heat system right. 30 threshold. Mechs fire starting at 0 seconds. And you can put any type of weapon on any mech. AC/2 in my Jenner? Heck yeah!

I have a good friend who has (I am pretty sure) three (at the very least 2) of them for the Xbad system - and I have another for the DS.

You can use the colors on the SHD, TDR, and BLR just fine. I bought the Cobalt color and made a Wolf's Dragoons 7th Kommando scheme on mine.

I've got almost 60% of the colors in the game. I wanted patterns. I can't put patterns on my Shadowhawk, Thunderbolt, or Battlemaster, so I can't use this sale on patterns for them.
