It was a Raven. Kanajashi got it! Post edited, links updated and highscore also updated.
Thanks for participating, this round was fun. :D

It's weekend... so give me some time to get some new footprints. See you next week.

EDIT: BTW... all 5th Hessian Nagelring Brigade members are excluded from participation. Sorry, Mean Ron.
I know you like games. But you are a cheater! :P

Does thermal imaging show these things in the snow? If not, definitely something on the improvement wish list then for snow maps and thermal maps too if the mech is cooler than the ambient.

As far as I know, I don't think so.

...and here is the new footprint. What mech is it?

An ATLAS! Little feet for this kind of giant, right? ;)
It was this one, thanks Devon Golem for the screenshots.

Does anyone know if the *speed* of a mech affects the stride length? If it does, you could not only deduce which way someone went, you could also get a good idea what kind of engine he's packing based on the distance between footprints.

I think so, as with my Catapult, it sorta looked like the one here, so maybe. Maybe if I was going slower, it would have a different look.

Umm...Centurion?

Edit: I'll be editing my suggestions thread. Hope you all had a merry Christmas, I was out for a bit, so couldn't update the poll. (It's the one with the long long title.)

Like the stalker I recognize that footprint.... but cannot think of what it is at this time.... :rolleyes:

Edit: just saw that in match, only two mechs nearby were a Wolverine and a Battlemaster

I doubt it was the BM, so I vote Wolverine

It was a Blackjack... my new mech. I love it.

Links updated, pic added, highscore updated wasn't necessary, nobody got a point today. :ph34r:

In my defense it was a very similar footprint (reuse of the foot-piece maybe?) :P

You should send me your picture. :P

To be honest, I'm afraid of the fact that some footprints look like others. If you know about this, let me know...

Wish I could, I wasn't recording that match :ph34r:
(I shoulda, it was a very good match 8-12 and the remaining four were under 30% health)

Will take my Wolverines out next time I play and take some pics of their footsteps for you though
(should I remember ;) will try my best though)

As for the reuse of parts, that is a standard part of the industry - take a look at the Griffin and Summoner/Thor's heads for an example.
Raven and Locust feet are also very similar, but just different enough to leave different footprints, so there is probably a little bit in it that I misread. ;)
