Yes. It's a 'Mech with a proud tradition that goes back to MPBT 3025. If it's the squat little gun turret we know and love, it'll work just fine.

Hints from an old pro.Thats anything i need to know. Bring tha Urby Curby PGI!!

[wanderer]

One of the things about a 'Mech that can mount an AC/20.

It can always, somehow, get a kill. Two shots to the head. A 20-point armor-piercer that hits ammo or punches through a weak spot. Or, given MWO, mounting a Gauss and sniping with minimal exposure due to an extremely small profile and an arm that can poke around corners.

That is if you aren't alphad in the back by a random Timber Wolf (may or may not have happened to me in MW2 Mercs and MPBT).

i did kinda feel bad a couple days ago on tourmaline when a Locust ran past me and stopped with it's back to me at point blank range. my mere medium dual MPL 3ASRM4 cent saw it crumple into several pieces. i felt that pilot's pain.

Pretty sure that one's a 100 ton Imp:

Would ALSO be a cool mech.

So what you're saying, is that it's a 100 ton wannabe Urbie. I see.

What the hell do u guys want with an URBAN Mech in Mechwarrior 5? What the hell should this Mech's role be? Would u play such a Mech for real???

Yes.

Sex warfare. The hidden design pillar.

I may have laughed a bit too much on that one.

Yeah, i see. But would u Guys take another Round in this Mech? Who wants to be tha killing target for the 'Kill loving Public'? And i'm askin' for lots of Drops. Not for a single one!

Oh I would master the suckers, EVERY. LAST. ONE. OF. THEM. and then keep running them afterwards. No jokes.

elzock, on 21 August 2014 - 10:59 AM, said:

Exactly. U need a lot of Drops. It is a too hard Mech to master it faster than a 'Metha' mech. Will u play such a Mech again after u ve Mastered it? Do not misunderstood, i would buy this Mech for sure, and master it (try to) up also. But i would never ever use it in any launch any more.

Oh I would keep on using it long after it's mastered. Sure, there will be breaks here and there if I like one of the new chassis, and try to master them, but trust me, you will see me running it a lot.

i mastered all 5 Locusts and still play them. Urbie will be easy mode in comparison

Same, except I still need to master the last 2.

He broke the most important law of Locust piloting. He stopped. I do it every now and then too, and I die like a chump for it.

[The Gruntmaster 6000]

Well I was never one for Locusts (more of a Jenner and Troll Spider myself) but Urbie... I'd play it just for the sake of driving a walking trash can. I could paint it green and name it Grouch and go around being a nasty Urbanmech spammer using its sheer awesomeness to overpower the mightiest Atlas in the name of URBANMECHS!

[YaKillinMeSmalls]

The Urbanspider does quite well on the new Industrial map on test.

With the heat penalty removed and the level up to 5, the small laser range module is actually worth it.
It's only a little bit, but so often, people were juuuust out of range before. Now, I can hit them.

[Dawnstealer]

Huh - you know something? The next map is a very dense, "urban-style" map.

I'M JUST SAYING....

[Wintersdark]

Even if it sucked (this is not certain: quirks, and MWOcs customization allow substantial improvements) I'd play the ***k out of an urbanmech. I'd (completely seriously here) sell every light I own, and buy all the urbanmechs the moment they were released, even if I had to buy MC to do it.

An Urbanmech hero, well... (Bishop Steiner's Deputy Dawg plz) I'd be all over that like nobodies business.


And I'm an Assault pilot.

[wolf74]

Ok Lets Talk about What Quirks & modules slots should the UrbanMechs get?

Max of:
2 Weapon Modules on UM-R60 & UM-R60L
3 Weapon Modules on UM-R63

Quirks Base:
+32% Torso Twist Speed
312 deg total Torso Twist Range
-3% Heat On Ballistics
+10% Leg Internals
-20% Radar Range Sensor
+15% Seismic Sensor Range (if Module installed)

you still see locusts and it would be more effective then they are at this time.

+500% on sexiness..

I don't even need that other stuff (not saying I'd not take it though!) Anyone driving an Urbie is playing the game for fun, not being tied up with numbers

Realistically, yeah, it probably wouldn't be the best mech in the game. you know what.

Don't give a ***k. It's a freakin' god amongst the culture of battletech, It belongs in the game, even if PGI needs to make it more expensive the thing is a CHEAP mech normally) i woudl love to play in an Urbie only unit.

Shouldn't these be on sale right now? They are manufactured in Capellan space, after all...

This April fool’s joke is expanding at an exponential rate!

Only one hero can save the universe!

And that Hero is Urbie!
