Here you go :

sec 15. nice shot of all mechs. Stormcrow has ballistics in it's left arm. One of 'em has something like AC20, another one has ERPPC in it's right torso and some dual-barreled ballistic in left arm.

sec 29. Medium lasers are gonna have yellow light. Large lasers have some mild jade color going on.

sec 34. Some strange blue projectiles coming out of Timberwolf Prime's side torsos...

I'm hoping those are the pulse lasers.

Nevermind...yeah those are missiles.

Making them only available to people who pre-ordered is a bit redundant and certainly won't generate any new sales.

I beg to differ. Some people are on the fence, and just being able to see the clan mechs up close and personal will help solidify their decision.

They are also probably testing the mech injection process to make sure that goes smoothly next Tuesday as well.

Well for the ones who didnt preorder at least if you had signed up before you can still See them against You it may not be the same as piloting it but you can see how OP or UP they are against your IS mech D:

[Whaler]

Thank you PGI !

Wow. What a missed marketing opportunity. If you made the clan mechs available to test drive even for people who didn't pre-order, then you probably would scoop up a lot of new orders tomorrow.

There have been tons of missed marketing opportunities, but this is NOT one of them...

[Malcolm Vordermark]

I think it would serve you better to allow those that have yet to preorder a chance to try them out.

It might just generate some envy sales, especially since they are bound to be as op as they're gonna get (nerfs will be incoming) tomorrow .

Sadly, I'll be @ work for most of this. I might get the last 2 hours if I race home....So tempted.

I seem to remember making this suggestion a while ago.....

sucks to be you? Don't cry about it, NGNG will stream the whole thing so you can see it all, Phil said he will showcase ALL of the mechs too.

Oh noes how I am ever going to last until Tuesday!

Well, that's fine. They can test whatever they want to test. I'm all for it. I'm just saying, if you want me to buy a new car, the best way to do it is offer me a test drive. I'll stay with my clunky IS mechs for now and buy the clan mechs used (for c-bills).

It forces me to experience the Clan invasion the way an IS pilot should, anyway.

[Koniving]

If I were running something like this and excluded the non-pre-order guys from testing them out...
the only reasoning behind it is I would need some Inner Sphere people on the field to test and fight against them to see if it really is balanced (because testing can't possibly cover everything and often doesn't cover most common trends).

Vids will be up by tomorrow evening.

yeah, looks like it. Hope, they are not going to hit CT all the time, given that they're being shot out one by one.

[Rizzelbizzeg]

Maybe it's the angle, but that summoner looks way smaller than I imagine it to be. I do like the cyan lasers and yellow pulses, tho!

[Redshift2k5]

I'll be at work literally the entire time this PTS is running.

At least it gives Smurfy ample time to collect the raw data and begin setting up his 3rd party mechlab well in advance of the release on Tuesday

*HONK* *HONK* get out of the way inner sphere scum and make room for my terrible balanced and super hot Clan Mechs !!111!1eleven


Oh look, a kill!

The new mechs and weapon effects look incredible, especially the clan LRMs! Cant' wait to try them out (and will be working on the 17th for 24-hours), so thanks for the chance to test them early!
