Remember when the players of this game actually cared about Battletech and immersion?

Instead we get nationality flags, subwoofers, and other immersion breaking crap on top of lore breaking maps (COUGH HPG COUGH) and no one seems to care anymore as long as they get their shiny and/or "show those mean haters by supporting the devs!"

Sigh...

Can't wait for no one to care that the clan mechs have the same reused control panels that they reuse for every mech and the same reused pilot model...

Please include option to mute these things

Don't forget the same reused "No signal detected" monitors

It's a feature.

Yeah, they're pretty ugly looking. Nothing says "intimidating" like 70's style wood-paneled speakers.

Are you kidding I love this look. If i could I'd wood panel my entire mech.

Really if I could convert my Dragon into a 70's station wagon with autocannons attached that would be the best case scenario.

So this is all your fault? You're the target demographic? IS right? These are IS speakers, see? AHhh... problem solved.

I'm down with Retro... but more like:

Just have to say...

TURN DOWN FOR WHAT!

[ktKAPS]

I was having a drink while watching the dev blog and nearly chocked when I saw the screenshot odf the speakers and I also pray that's is simply a placeholder.

So a Warhorn is basically a fart machine in your cockpit

LOLZ @ people who paid for this

Seriously though, that picture isn't real, right?

[Rofl]

Clanners are into dub step. It's in the lore, you know.

I really don't get the whole HORN SOUND coming from some silly speakers.... who the hell thought that was a good idea!?

[Helmer]

I'm not opposed to the idea of the Warhorn. When I read that the Warhorns were packaged in with the Clan 'mechs I assumed it was something more in line with the lore . Perhaps recorded VO with Clan insults or challenges.

I'm honestly fine with sound effects as well, however, I don't see the need for in cockpit modelling of speakers and would prefer to not have them.


Cheers.

The guys who brought you UI 2.0, Ghost Heat, Gauss Charge, 3PV, ECM... do I have to go on?

But seriously, those things are ugly. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the video the first time. Not only are they really ugly regarding both design and implementation, but they are also just absurd. Why the heck should we install speakers in the cockpit? There are already speakers for radio transmission and external microphones, both in the cockpit and in the neuro helmet.

[Triordinant]

I actually thought the Warhorn sounded like the one in The General from Dukes of Hazard. Seriously, though, I would've preferred external horns that sounded like the one in the Martian tripods from the new version of War of the Worlds, announcing to all that you have once again claimed a foe's 'mech.

[Solahma]

Obviously this isn't only one, but they sure showed a doozie of a cockpit disaster...

Yepp.

I have yet to see a speaker that looks like this. My first thought was a sideways stove burner. Who needs to cook eggs sideways in a mech? Save that s**t for the mess hall.

[Zack Esseth]

Some MW3 Smoke Jaguar taunts anyone?
