So the warhorns, i bet they are used to make the merc units. Since it has to be an item baught by MC in the store. It makes sense that they would give them away in a package... i.e. CW pack.

And its a way to get the items out to more people, and put it in a package deal.

Other ideas and discussion welcome.

Something that blats out when you kill an enemy Mech.

I wonder if the Warhorns are supposed to be similar to Phoenix Medallions somehow?

Nothing visible right now, but they are supposed to give a 2.5% bonus to Loyalty points earned.

Oh, I know all about the FAQ.

I'm just not very confident they can drop CW if they can't even find a use for a piece of equipment that comes standard on some mechs (ie: Command Console).

Or Elite skills that do nothing.

Or Role Warfare that doesn't exist.

And so on and so forth...

Yeah, it's frustrating having to wait.

And I have no idea how giving Command Console any sort of use, can be held up by anything else or at least posting a Command Chair of what they have planned for it.

The other lacking features, I could at least understand why the devs would not want to say anything about, until UI 2.0 is out.

But on the Mech!

The icon for them looks like a transmitter of some kind.

Perhaps as augment to information warfare; my guess is that it transmits enemy target info faster or something like that.

[Belorion]

No offense, but the Clans have nothing to do with forming Merc corps. I doubt that is the reason for them.

[pbiggz]

Considering the icon is an antenna transmitting a signal, I would imagine it is some kind of information/electronic warfare module.

My other speculation though, was that it would permanently turn 1 c-bill mech into a "command mech" with a 30% cbill bonus. I.E. Hero whatever mech you want. If this is the case, then each warhorn is worth about 25 dollars, so even at the lowest clan bundle that comes with them (adder comes with 5) you're getting a massive increase in value.

I want this for a war horn:

[Mcgral18]

I'm with Joseph on this one, likely a similar thing to the Heavy Metal, when you kill a mech it emits a warhorn noise.

My point on the Command Console that if they can't even program in a use for a 3 ton or whatever standard piece of equipment that comes standard on certain mechs, how can we expect them to program in more complex things?

Like a pilot tree where picking choices matter? Well, that doesn't matter since they've said that the "placeholder" system we have in place is just going to be how it is now...same as their Role Warfare thoughts from earlier. Well, that was their position at the time...

One can always hope but you'll either be waiting a long time or get your hopes dashed eventually.
