It is a decent deal looking at the regular costs for the items offered. Now if you are patient and wait for deals and sales, then it is almost tied in costs...except for the titles and steins.

But the REAL thing is that regardless of whether or not you think the Urbanmech is a weak "joke" mech or an elite mech, the story is really about how this community has influenced the game, and that PGI does listen! It does take time (which is what you get with a F2P game), but it will happen.

This means eventually we may get the Thug, Hussar, Dervish, Flea, Champion, Black Knight and maybe....just maybe....the Unseen mechs one day. I would say if you want to help this continue, then just get the $20 version of this. Say thank you to the company. ENCOURAGE THEM TO LISTEN TO US.

We have reached the pinnacle of mech technology. Time to stop releasing mechs and make more maps. The time of the 12v12 all urbie match has come!

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.

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

The max is undecided.

The urbs has always come with a STD 60, and yes they had to specially code it in just for the Urbanmech.

Personally, I hope s few other things are able to take it (or even a STD80 if they grace us with it)

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.

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.

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 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'
