Asked Russ on Twitter, got a response:




Guys, PGI is communicating. You just have to ask.

[TheCaptainJZ]

That's not an answer....

[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

Based on that, I like to think of them like the horns the Reapers use in Mass Effect, or like the Siege Horns on 40k Imperial Titans. In other words, a loud, deep, ominous horn employed for psychological effects.

[Rashhaverak]

I envisioned that the clan warhorn would be more akin to the horns used by the Martian invaders in the movie "War of the Worlds", than car horns.

Clans would sound the horn to inspire terror in their opponents (also similar to how the Martian's used them).

I'm praying.... HOPING..... its just a music melody or horn tooting only when you get a Kill... like the Heavy Metal does already...

This game does not need Honking Mechs... please god do not give the kiddies a freakin horn...

I swear to god I will pay hackers to find the files and pay for a website on how to uninstall the War Horn Files for EACH PATCH if this is implemented.... This is the kind of crrap we do not need in the game

Its most likely a way they're going to monetize in game communication by restricting peoples access to certain chat channels. It's done in other games, and the warhorn icon looks like a radio signal transmitting. Not a great way of doin things in my opinion.

I imagine it's some kind of Electronic Warfare Suit, likely tied to CW. And I believe Paul was speaking in jest.

[HellJumper]

lol so basically none of them know what it is?? and they will give an answer when they are available?? which is like...ummmm no idea.

ya thats communicating.

its like:

User: Hey Helljumper where did you took your name from..
Helljumper: IDK ask Halo fan
Halo Fan: IDK where he took it from, ask an ODTS fan
ODST fan: IDK what Helljumper means..sorry.

The only thing they are communicating is that they don't have a clue about what is going on with their game and not even what they are actually selling you for your money.
When not even the president and the lead designer of a gaming company can give you a hint about the basic functionality of an item they are already selling for real money, and the president doesn't even know who is responsible for the item's functionality, then you know you should take your money and run.

when asked why no videos of clan mechs,Russ tweeted that they had not started to build them yet. So maybe they really do not know what a war horn is because they have no thought about it yet. PGI at its finest.

Atlas

Spider


And a train horn for the pre-nerf Dragon dozer. (think Wile E Coyote)

Naturally this means that the Gold mech exclusive war horns will be continuous:



I, for one, look forward to all of that.

Lowest ranking member of a gang.


As for the rest of this thread, much ado about nothing.

[Iacov]

i guess paul was just joking?!

[MeiSooHaityu]

I figured it out, here is your War Horns!




Picture those on the front of your Dragon!

[Arctourus]

Maybe it's the clan weaponry sound effect. PPCs can be a car horn, lrms a fart, etc.
