Seriously, Urbie is going to kick you in the nuts for falling in love with another mech. :)

Well, since we don't have an Urbie in game bro, I am referring to what we got. Plus, I doubt if we ever get it, that Alex will style it the way I want.


Cuz lets face it

my guess? No ballistic. Ballistic ands their low heat allow my 2D2 to outperform my 3M in the same basic role. Not by a huge margin, but the heat control capabilities of the UAC over my ER PPC makes a pretty big impact. Instead of moving right in now, I tend to hold back and harass with the ER PPC as long as viable, then move into SSRM range.


Yeah...I think the problem is once I'm brawling the ER PPC just doesn't do as well as the UAC.

I didn't care for Griffin at 1st, but it's growing on me. I'm just grinding out C-bills with one variant now before I buy the other 2.

As far as the looks go, it is a fine looking mech,

But my fav is still the Quickdraw!

Founder's Cat and K2 (only with PPCs), Griffin, Locust (so cute!!), and the concept art for the Stormcrow. Orions when they've got a large AC and are bristling with missiles, especially if they're arm mounted missiles.

Best Orion Ever.

None of the assault mechs do it for me.

Griffin is probably the best looking mech in the game, but for whatever reason I cannot seem to do as well in it as I do with my Shadow Hawk.


I agree and I"m the same.... (do better in ShadowHawk)

Bishop Steiner already beat me to it... its the Ballistics (current Meta) just plain Rule this game... I actually hate all medium mechs in this game except for the ShadowHawk... and when I"m piloting a ShadowHawk the only other Medium Mech I fear is the Griffin.... it can mess you up

FYI... only reason I hate Medium Mechs in the game is because of how there is no Role Warfare so Mediums are just plain weaker when compared to the fast heavies or the fast torso twisting Assaults in this game... blame PGI... Every Medium Mech Pilot should get 25 percent compensation in C Bills and XP just for piloting them

I want that 'mech in the game more than any other. x1000000000000000000000000 if the siren and lights are toggle-able, as opposed to just getting a kill or something.

OK, Urbie is awesome, especially the DD you have there, but those jenner sketches are a crime against humanity. Pretty sure this violated the Geneva convention in more than one way.

Well, I must admit I am fond of the Griffin both in MWO and in the original Tabletop Game (Battletech) for its look, love the classic aviator style cockpit, and may get one eventually, however due to selling my only other mech so I could buy that nice shiny AS7-D DC (and being flat broke so can't buy MC) I have, Umm.. 1 Mech. Did "Try" a Griffin and did enjoy piloting one though.

And AUSwarrior24, I agree, its a little useless, but always rather liked the locust myself. In Battletech I did have a pilot that used a heavily modified Locust named the "Jackrabbit" (It carried a Meduim Laser and 4 Flamers) and though I made it as a joke, that mech was responsible for many deaths in Battletech, Including an Atlas. My buddy hated that spindly legged pain in his backside.

But I love them all the same.

I'm with you. It has always been my favourite, and I love it in MWO.

I'd love to see a modelling pass on it, not only to strategically pare some fat from its love handles, but to add some detail to it and bring it in line with some of the magnificent new creations rolling off the MWO assembly line here.
