Ovion. it's dead to me. I've spent the whole day swatting urbian's like they were flies. as cool as it looks. it cannot fill one important role for a Light mech. and that's the simple term. Speed is Life. I will give a nod though. I've seen some creative builds for it.

People haven't even had time to elite it yet and you're already DOAing it? Give it some time. It shouldn't be amazing on day one unless it's OP.
Also, a lot of people are mad that it's in the game are are going to extra lengths to kill them. I've never seen so many Streakcrows out lol.

Yeah, and i love how they focus on my urbie to get that urbie kill, and get obliterated by my team, as soon as i bring them where everyone was waoting them.

Urbie bait for the win!

I think it will have some merit in faction battles as a light defender option perhaps with a guess, or ac 20 if it hides amongst the rest of the team. but its hard to balance speed and maintain fire power, even at max speed you are still getting out run buy 55T mechs. but it was to be expected so Im not complaining.

[Nightshade24]

personally I am having a blast!

This thing is a kicker and plays simular to a hunchback before the quirkening. (as an a huge punch that can't take that much in return, uses assault mechs as shields and to make the hunchie look even worse in comparison with the scary atlas, thus having a low profile for peoples IFF's )

I actually had a game with 576 damage exact in the Urbanmech R60 in the same build I posted in the previous page.

This thing is less DAO then any Wave 2 clan mech or half the clan wave 1 mechs.

Urbanmech is quite an amazing little fella and I am already having issues buying a 2nd lot of Urbanmechs! Only thing in my way is that I do not want to blow my money before something like a hero urbanmech arrives to the battlefield.

And I do want the moneys to get it if it comes in a limited edition version like the grid iron did.

------------------------------------ Scared
If I make Timberwolfs turn into Mad↳Cats and run away and do enough damage to carry my weight and then some in a 30 tonner without elite skills yet and no modules.

I can see a bright future for this thing

I shot the timber wolf in the face with my AC/20 and it blew up sky high - i love the glorious artillery trashcan that is the urbanmech

Some person, who's clan name, team tag and user name wont be mentioned, dropped in CW with what appeared to be four Urbies? how do you get four? I thought there were only three variants..anyhow, even the Dires left him far behind, all the 360 no scope in the world can't save you from a couple of lights, lol

1) wait what? a clan team member is in a inner sphere mech?

2) Well you CAN buy doubles of a mech. For eg I have 3 Kingcrab 000's. So you can have 4 urbanmechs even though there are 3 variants (in fact the collectors pack gives you a total of 4 urbies)

[That Dawg]

clan... IS...meant "what flag or banner thing" he ran under.
I'm still not sure what those tags are really called...squad tags, team tags..

Any one else notice that the 3 tanks in the cockpit are Water, laughing gas, and caffeine?

[Win Ott]

The Urbie has been more fun to play than ANY of the Wave2 or Resistance mechs. I regret buying both those packages, but I'm glad I sprung for the deluxe Urbie pack. Suddenly, the game is fun again!

Now, if only we had some new maps (CW doesn't count)...

It's not laughing gas.... Well, I mean, it IS, but that's not why it's there... It's NOS! Like, what they shove in cars to make them go faster in spurts It's more slow jokes, lol

Yeah, Urbie is definitely better than any of the current Clan lights... (Arctic Cheetah will bury it though) It's a ton of fun n.n

My 60 with 4mg and 2mpls is a beast, got 4 kills, and 474 damage in one match.

My 93(S) has an Lb10x, ML, and XL180, And is a lot of fun, but will take some getting used to to get the most out of it.

My 60L keeps its AC/20, just with more ammo from endo/ferro. 32kph wouldn't be so bad, if the torso still turned like its faster compatriots, and if it didn't take 10 seconds to accelerate to it XD

I have my 60 fitted so that it runs at 90kph AND keeps the ac20

there was a post a couple days ago about how people who upgraded from the $20 to the 440 pack to get the special urbie would actually have 4 because the $20 pack came with a different version of the 63. so they decided to give everyone with the $40 pack both versions of the 63 so you'd get four (but only 3 of the special warhorms etc stuff)


only played one match in each so far with mixed results- no kills yet

stormurbie(63S w/xl 100, ac10 and 2SL)- has been the worst so far. go my only ever 0 dmg match in a match i was actually in. ran around trying to get lined up to shoot something and got gauss/lrmed. second match under 100 dmg- thx streakcrow- switched the SLs to ML

Turbo Urbie (63 w/xl120, 3SPL and UAC5)- semi-ok got about 150dmg, 6 or 7 assists and died to a teammate shooting me in the back as i tried to get the last enemy.

Darth Urbie (60L w/ std 100 4SPL and AC5) was the best of the bunch so far. 250ish dmg and 8 assists in my first urbie match ever. survived the match

BizzarroUrbie (60 w/xl125 LPL,ML and 4MG) did decently- 180ish dmg. survived at 90% or so.

the key seems to be having two urbies on your team- all 3 matches with two urbies were wins. lost with 3 urbies and lost as only urbie. also switching turbo urbie and stormurbie's loadouts since may was well get the one with the cbill bonus to have the more effective loadout so far for me

Calling a bit of BS, SmurfyPix or it didn't happen. Either that or you have like a half ton of ammo.

UM-R63

I'd guess something like that, but to run the Urbie as a serious mech, I think you have to run it with the main punch being energy (sacrilege, I know).
