Now its:
Here's Heat Containment.
Here's Ghost Heat.
Here's more Heat Containment to counter Ghost Heat somewhat.

A valid concern, but it's possible that the end bonus will be the same as now, and they just split it up into 3-4 steps. I hope they don't go beyond the current values. For really none of the bonuses. (Imagine a 40 % movement bonus!)
The max value on some of these abilities is either fine or too high already. In Closed Beta they were much smaller and IMO too small (2.5 ? was it for most abilities, IIRC), but using the CB values as "step" and the current values as maximum possible seems a reasonable starting point. I would probably lower torso twist related bonuses and heat containment.

Actually the Tripod horn above from the War of the Worlds is probably what the Warhorn does. Not a call for help but an ominous "you are boned" signal at the start of the match.

And who will give me my money back if it is not this?

Normally I would toss around some theory crafting but I'm tired of doing that for PGI. It's stupid that we have to spend this much time and effort just to learn how new features will work. I've never seen another institution run like this except in alpha stages and government cover-ups

“On the forums? I eventually had to go down to the sub sub sub sub forums to find them.”
“That’s the developement forumt\.”
“With a google hotlink.”
“Ah, well, that makes accessability easier.”
“So an outside source makes it easier?.”
“But look, you found the plan, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display as a link in an admin signiture of a locked thread at the bottom of a cautionary post for mis-use of CoC with a trollastic gif saying ‘Beware of the Surat.”

Agree with the OP.

But again there are no information, hints, design ideas ... anything.

In general and particulary in the current situation I can not understand this method / business tactic.

If I had to guess, it might be either:
A. Fun item that makes sounds when you press a button or get a kill
B. Consumable that has some kind of "frenzy" effect, i.e. like the WAAAAAGH ability from Dawn of War for the Orks (faster movement and/or firing for a few moments)
C. Some kind of weird cockpit item

I'm holding out hope for a big silver bicycle horn-looking thing that plays "La Cucaracha"

That's what i was thinking along the lines of, like a Stuka bombers jericho siren.

I figured it out!!!!

If you have a war horn equipped when an enemy mech gets within sensor range and you have LoS on the enemy it let's out an audible warning
