Wondering if the missing concept art could find its way into the media section?

I also had some feedback regarding the landing pad:

• Big Atlas - Good!
  
• CGI woman drawing more attention than Atlas - seems out of place

While I do find the CGI lady well drawn, it's a total headscratcher as to why she is there. There aren't any characters in the game, and new players certainly won't find any connection between her and the actual game. It might set up for confusion.


Just my 2cents

Greetings,

I posted this on another thread about this same landing page image, still applies here.

Considering that PGI lowered the 'target audience' for MWO I'd assume that having a cute young woman's face with those lips is demographically appealing to that age group.
- I say marketing was directly involved in that addition.

Having the face be the brightest item on the page, set next to "Free to Play", you start to see where the physiology is intended.

Just saying,

Greetings all,


Reference the face image,

If it was indeed an update of the Wolf's Dragoons premier Pilot Natasha, some reference would have been nice.
- Although during this timeline, clan invasion, she did go back to the Clans to fight with the Wolf's.

For those that don't know who this person was:
- Natasha Kerensky also known as The Black Widow, The Queen of Spades, and many other appellations, was a trueborn MechWarrior from Clan Wolf. Immensely successful and famous, she was widely regarded as the best and deadliest MechWarrior of the 31st century, with the possible exception of Kai Allard-Liao.
- In 3004 she joined Wolf's Dragoons during their long-term intelligence mission into the Inner Sphere, leaping at the opportunity to see combat duty even though it involved a de-facto demotion to Point Commander, serving under the command of the brothers Wolf. Natasha Kerensky quickly rose through the ranks of Wolf's Dragoons. Natasha Kerensky accepted command over a special Dragoon company composed of criminals, misfits and troublemakers. Promoted to Captain, she forged them into an effective fighting unit.
- Natasha Kerensky emerged as the self-styled "Black Widow" and had command over her own, semi-independent sub-unit of Wolf's Dragoons, the notorious Black Widow Company.
- From then on, the Black Widows were the Dragoon's most active raiding force, often operating independently from their parent unit. They were also typically spearheading assaults in the thick of any major Dragoon operation. As commander of this unit, the "Black Widow" became a living legend akin to the Bounty Hunter. During this time she usually piloted a jet black Warhammer that became as infamous as its pilot, the mere sight of which persuaded many foes to flee rather than face her.
- When the Clan Invasion into the Inner Sphere took place in 3049, she left the Dragoons to take her place amongst her fellow Bloodnamed Clan Warriors - notable the only member of the Clans in either the Dragoons or its offshot Snord's Irregulars to answer the Grand Councils official recall order.
