[Nevar]

What do you think?

[trycksh0t]

Went for the Catapult, I can't say no to those missile hardpoints.

[Radec]

catapult, although i may upgrade to legendary soon enough

[rhilir]

i did all them. I work enough long hour shifts this wont make that big of a deal.

[Dalen]

I believe I will go with the Jenner in order to get a jump on the competition.

[Jolin Ires]

All of them ofc! I'm just that good

[Name48928]

I would have picked the Jenner, completing the circle with MW1.

Just isn't worth it to me yet though, without knowing more about the games business model.

[Dragonsbane]

I had a very hard time deciding which mech to get, since we had no gameplay or clarification on the trees and I will want to play scout and attack/defense... so the Legendary was a no brainer...

[Dark Fact]

Catapult, because I like the design the most.

[FrAvatar]

Atlas, only temporary as extra funds needed are on slow transfer ( hardly ever use paypal) in approx 8 days I'll upgrade to legendary, if only I could have known ahaid of time that a third option was going to be available I could have managed the logistics accordingly.

imo the only option is the Atlas. if its anything like the first couple of weeks of WoT everyone will rush to the high tier tanks using the fiercest machine and everything else will be fodder.

WoT is a nice game if you like arcade tank shooter. MWO is more of a sim and brings a whole lot different game play than say and arcade game would. In addition MW games have different play style. I use Hotas Warthog with rudders that give me unbelievable control over my mech. Not that you have to, just so you know that piloting mech is somewhat different than driving a tank. With some mechs like Jenner you can actually jump jet to certain place to stay out of reach or at least try to.

I just hate to compare MWO to WoT no contest. It's like comparing Ferrari to Ford Escort. Ferrari been MWO of course

In mech games and especially with MWO your load out can change your mech almost completely. Overheating, shutting down, terrain, speed, damage like losing weapon systems, info on the battlefield that is changing from minute to minute, etc. Lots of variables to consider in MWO before and during the battle.

This is why well piloted scout mech with custom load out can actually beat much heavier mech using speed and maneuverability. Even in open terrain I can still keep out of reach then hit and run repeat frustrate your opponent and so on even tell him something he won't like psychological warfare.

In WoT it is not so light tanks just die and are outclassed by heavy tanks not in MWO. Light mechs are just as useful as any and you can use them from day 1 to the very end of your game play. If I was in heavy mech I would love to have 1 scout with me as my eyes and ears on the battlefield and more.

In MWO you MUST use your head and fast too if you want to win or at least survive.

In MWO you can't just hide and sit in 1 place and shoot you just die fast. You have to move and there is almost no place to hide at least not for long. You have to be constantly changing strategy, tactics and work with your team. I think teamwork is the biggest strength playing any MW multiplayer game or any game for that matter.

Often new players go for assault or heavies thinking more firepower more damage and survivability but that's not so in MW games. In multiplayer when you find yourself surrounded by scouts in a heavy mech you're dead before you can say oh !@@$@$.

Judging from the info that is available about MWO looks to me like a classic MW sim many of us been waiting for so long.

Sorry for all this writing but I couldn't resist.

PS. Can't wait for MWO...

All and none.

Love this game, but I'm a Clanner by heart. Ask me again next year LOL

[Burya Zheleza]

Decisions, decisions...... <<insert Jeopardy theme>> "All 4!", you say? Yes, please.

[SideSt3p]

I haven't purchesed my Elite pack yet (I want to make sure the errors and issues are done) but I've already decided that I'll be taking an Atlas.

The reason being it has a GREAT selection of hardpoints which I can use to make the 'Mech perfect. I'm thinking....Gauss Rifle, 2 ER PPCs, 2 Medium Lasers, 1 LRM 20....provided I can get some Endo Steel in there.

Also I don't think I'm going to be very good at piloting in the beginning. SO being able to hang back and pound something sounds good to me!

[Cataphract]

I wasnt expecting the legendary package as an option but given how most companies have done similar stuff in the past I really should have seen it coming. For me though my favorite for sure would have to be the Catapult even though I'll be getting all four.

[Monsoon]

Was a hard decision, between all of them or only one.

Then I was torn between the Altas and the Hunchback.

Ultimately I'm a sucker for the Atlas.


Though personally if the options were there, I'd have loved the Vuture, Mad Cat and Masakari.

[crazyjdog]

If I wouldn't have went Legendary I would have probably went either Atlas or Hunchback.

Can't chose cata or hunch and buy all ((%
