No noob is going to grab an urbanmech. If you find yourself fighting a company of urbanmechs you already know they got more braver pilots then you do. And if they are disciplined they will make every choke point a nightmare, they could also be the best tactical breach mech to initiate assualts.


The choke points are everywhere just not so obvious to the unskilled eye. You can have a lance of assaults try to march through something like frozen city or forest colony tunnel, The urbanmechs will wipe them out......every urbanmech is going to have a clean shot.....and that's without pop tarting.


And we are talking STOCK urbanmechs. On the one on one level every fight urbanmech has ever known is a boss fight. The under estimation is also a weapon. I think against a seasoned company of urbanmechs your up against another level of confidence.

The Mechlab is my sandbox, and the battlefield is my playground.

Let the UrbanMech play in the sandbox, and then let us make the other children cry.

Truer words where never spoken.

We're excited to announce the UrbanMech UM-R60! This little guy packs quite the little punch with 1 AC/10 and 1 Small Laser for popping off those Mechs you know are hiding in an urban area. With a top speed of 32.4 kph, you won't be expected to chase down those pesky Jenners. Finally!

The UrbanMech UM-R60 will be available from April 1st with a Premium Skin. This unique Mech is available to only the most loyal MechWarriors, including 2 variants and the additional Hero variant.

A new Hero Mech arrives on the battlefield! The UM-CUB "Urbie Curby" comes hot from the manufacturer with two rear mounted AC/20s for pummeling at close range. Grab a partner pilot to join the glory, this Mech has no need for an engine! Ask a lancemate to tow you around (Attach hitch with "E") or stay put at your base like a defensive turret.

I didn't even saw that mech in the lab

Serious note now - does anyone expect this 'Mech to live up to its hype if Piranha does release it? Even people who know it's horrible will likely be surprised by just how horrible it is in the environment of MWO. Really...just let the poor little guy play in his TT sandbox in peace.

God no, no one is hyping it for it's effectiveness. There's a reason it's not gonna compete well with the other mechs out there. However, we just want it, because we love it. I can tell you right now, I will probably end up dead more times than I want, possibly every match. However, I will have crazy amounts of fun in it. That's what I will pay for.

I wish I could find the old one with the Urbie and the Naval PPC....like DBZ with a trashcan.

Shouldn't that be AC/10 ammo instead of LRM ammo?

AC 10 ammo has less damage.
tbh, SSRM Ammo would be the biggets Boom. but LRMS would make a better AoE damage.

We know it's not the best mech. We don't care. We want it for the fun factor.

EDIT: Also, of course it's gonna keep happening. When geniuses like you keep bringing it up.

Oh now don't go trying to pin the cause of the stupid on me. Stupid doesn't need any help to pop up anywhere and everywhere, continually. For example, in the post right above yours. ...annnd the ones you replied to on the next page. And so on and so on. I have nothing to do with it. One can only point it out when one sees it.

To paraphrase that quote about evil: "Stupid need only one thing to flourish: for good men to do nothing"

We must all continue to make it clear why we love the Urbie, ANNNNND continue to point out the fallacies in the non-believers meanderings about viability and capability.

...Which will continue to happen whether you or I am posting in this thread or not.
