How have we only gotten 1/3 of the needed pre-orders for this thing to be green-lighted?

Because it's a joke mech and people don't want to waste real money on it? ****, if you've got $40 to burn send it my way, I'm flat ******* broke.

I remember watching a 1 v 1 between a Wolfhound and an UrbanMech in MW4. The guy in the Wolfhound claimed he couldn't get clean shots on the CT of the UrbanMech because he didn't know which way it was facing. That's got to be worth something in a brawl? Perhaps not.

I notice the maximum engine size is down as 60. That's like a whole new engine size just for him.

The STOCK engine size is 60. Especially coded for Urbie. The max is undecided. Since it's a 30 ton mech, they have the potential to make it go as fast as a spider.

[Myray]

will the urby come out faster than 7. April when we hit the 100%?

Check twitter, Russ say we are over 50% after 24 hours. Come on guys, let's push it in to overdrive!

WHY HAS EVERYONE NOT BOUGHT AN URBIE YET? SELL KIDNEYS - BUY URBIE

[FireDog]

This would be a great mech for PGI to introduce when they add AI controlled mechs into the missions games. Give the forts a half dozen Urbies to help defend with a turret grid and watch the chaos begin! Just remember to put the Forts near the middle of the maps so the attackers have more avenues of approach (and much less boring games).


I still would like a skirmish game mode where the CBill value of the mechs is the limiting factor.

I'm totally going to pull that STD60 and put it in my Atlas.

I hate to break it to you guys, but if it can't already take a 100, it definately can't have a 60~ xD

What's wrong with you people?

I'm legitimately asking here.

This is something we want, and we have asked for.
And when we actually get it, you deliberately come to a thread of something you obviously don't care for to insult our choice.

There's a guy in one of these (might be this thread), who prefered to spend it on sushi and strip clubs.
That's his choice, if that makes him happy, cool, all the power to him.
Our choice makes us happy (and lasts longer), but he feels the need to come in here and rag on the Urbs...

Are your lives really that sad and twisted, that you actively seek things you don't like to complain about, rather than going and finding stuff you do like?

I honestly feel a mix of irration and disgusted pity.

If you're going to join in, bring something to the conversation, or be fun / happy / interesting.
If you insist on being negative, do it constructively, form a counter argument, give reasons and debate, not just 'it sucks, you suck'

Remember it comes with 2 months of premium time, which is about 75% of those $40 right there.
So by that logic, it's actually 1/2 the price you think it should be!

Edit: 60 days PT, not three months...

Not an issue with you buying the Collectors edition, I did too.

But 2 things -
1 - If it's double what you feel it should be, there is a $20 pack.

2 - To make you feel better:
Urbanmech Collectors Pack: US$40 (est GB£28)
3x Urbanmech (Inc 1 Hero) est 5,000MC
3 Mechbays 900MC
12x Premium Cockpit Item est 9,750MC
60 Days Premium Time 5,000MC
Premium Camo 1,250MC
2 Modules (9,000,000C-Bills) 3,600MC
Total Value - est 25,500MC
Probably call it 25,000MC for ease.
Equivalent Value - US$99.95 (GB£67)

Yeah, but Harmony Gold is a sore spot, especially due to the circumstances, and that FASA had licensed the rights directly.

HGs claim was incredibly sketchy and tennuous at best, being they only had/have distribution rights, not to the image or name.
But they strongarmed their way through, and it's how they've been staying afloat in the last 5-10 years, by making tenuous lawsuits and cashing royalties based on their existing license and payouts from legal action.
A thoroughly reprehensible company, but one with good lawyers.

not true the company DID NOT LICENSE THE RIGHT DIRECTLY THE COMPANY THEY LICENSED FROM DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHTS TO THE IMAGERY THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED FROM THE MACROSS SIDE OF THE WORLD

HELP HELP HELP HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Metafox]

So the urbanmech is already pretty slow with a std 60, but what's the smallest engine that it can take? The urbanmech's slowness is one of its defining traits and I'm curious exactly how slow we will be able to make it go.

Sadly this. As for Karma Koin, send a ticket and they'll probably get back to you shortly.

[o0cipher0o]

As per Russ's tweets:
"I am leaning towards 215 - same top speed as the upcoming slowest IS light the Panther - top speed 116 kph before speed tweak"

And
"I am leaning towards 215 - same top speed as the upcoming slowest IS light the Panther - top speed 116 kph before speed tweak"

I think it could be okay this way.
