Man, how big are the bills? Bigger than any video game in the history of um.....video games?....lol

The gaudy gold Timber Wolf will be rare indeed and although I have no opinion about those who choose to spend their money on one, they definitely will not be my Khan, unless they have earned that distinction. One can not buy their way to Khan in Clan Jade Falcon.

Hmmm...is it just me, or does the Timber Wolf in the picture have its arms pointing in separate directions?

I'd wager that the "only 50 left" is extensible to hundreds, with always just 1 more left for the milking.

pretty much. they extended the founders deadline twice. theres no reason they cant just add more gold mechs.

this is just a marketing ploy to entice stupid people to buy into gold mechs by making them believe theyre scarce.

I think I finally got my answer on gold mechs. They appear to be a different variant than the prime. Note the missing CT machine gun, RT machine gun, and LT laser.

If i had 500 bucks,and would be crazy,drunken or diehard enough to spend it to support that game,i wouldn´t pilot that Mech,cause with that Goldskin it looks pretty chawy.

Just my 2 cents.

Gold Mechs had to get rid of some of the weapons because the gold paint is too heavy!

Not "Pay to Win", "Pay to be exclusive"!

[4L1]

To be fair with PGI all those marketing decision are taken by IGP not PGI.

[LiGhtningFF13]

I just wouldn't reconcile that with my conscience, buying 500$ for some "imaginary things" things. Someone could point a finger at me and start doubing my sanity or would believe that I'm insane!

Really? I think it looks pretty snazzy. If you want to see gold paint done bad, go look at the gold M60 from... geez, I don't even remember which CoD it was. I just remember that it looked poop colored on certain maps.

I'd really like to know what the loadouts and hardpoint layouts are.

It's obviously a tribute to the man with a golden gun.(James bond reference)

[Sephlock]

No wait. Wait a second. If you can mix and match parts, does that mean that it is possible that certain Khan mech parts would essentially be unavailable for us mere mortals (assuming they were not identical to the same parts for any variants)? Also, is it possible to end up with a frankenmech that has a gold left arm or something ?

[Swinebeast]

Is PGI an external developer for IGP? If so PGI is off the hook for the crazy pricing, but that means IGP is holding all the cards, which is worse....lol.
Also fair call on the marketing (50 left ect.), will be with the publisher.

Exactly. That's dropping current-gen game console money into something with no actual value other than in-game exclusivity (if even that), and then as has been historically consistent with PGI, a nerfing within 2 months to disable any advantage you thought you bought. All on a game that's already on shaky ground with both it's main fanbase, even more so with the general public that they are trying to get hooked into its P2P ecosystem.

Really. As i say,just my opinion. Different people,different taste,and the Goldskin just isn´t my favour.

One reason more to be happy,not to play CoD.

Aye,that would be interessting. Propably we will see that kind of stuff when the Clans arrive.

How crazy is it that we are sitting here trying to piece together exactly what they're selling for $500?
