Anyone else getting a big one thinking about this weapon? I love the LBXs and am excited to see more. Now if you add the Medium Range Missile Launcher (MRM), 20 or 40 I will have to upgrade my Clan package to the next level.

MRM is a House Kurita weapon system, not clan.

In fact, the Clans tend to feel they are a half witted step BACKWARD in weapons tech, not forward. Now ATM systems... THAT is a different ball of wax.

Yeah MRMs are IS tech. Clans get ATMs which are a single missile launcher that can basically switch between firing SRMs, MRMs, and LRMs, and has built-in Artemis.

I never said it was clan or I.S. regarding the MRMs. I can see why you assume that as my phrasing wasn't the best. I was simply stating another weapon system(in general) I want besides the new LBX. The Clan pack comment was in regards to supporting the current promotion.

Just waiting for the river of tears over UAC20. Also, Light killing is going to be cake with LB20X.

^^ And even if they`re nerfed to hell the dimwitted spheroids will be whining that they want to switch their LBXs between shot and slugs, too, so hard that new oceans will be created. :angry:

Pssh. All LB-X are supposed to have alt-fire solid/cluster modes, and the lack of such is only a sign that the PGI version is only half-finished.

What's going to amuse is the burst-fire UAC/20. Just enough spray to guarantee you'll at least gouge a few big pieces out of fast targets, while the double-tap option remains for cutting into less agile opponents.
