I absolutely hate them. My intent isn't to go on a rage fest; I do understand that this was done to support a visual reflection of armorment. Instead, I just want to explain why I have this opinion.

Let's start with what is, for me, the elephant in the room: The right arm. That big rounded cannon arm was, in my opinion, one of the iconic parts of what gave this mech it's charm, it's silhouette. To see it replaced by a rectangular box with a tiny barrel jutting out is upsetting.

This is already turning into a novel, so i'll try to tie this up. While i'm sure the higher tube capacity will be appreciated on the left shoulder, the tiny little flaps were a neat visual I am surprised to see gone. As well, the bulkier nature of it's new design further detracts from what was another highlight of the mech: the asymmetrical design. I don't really have anything to say on the center torso emitters.

This has been my medium of choice since I started playing, and frankly my favorite ride. It really stinks to have part of the visual that grabbed me taken away.

imho, there is no way to acept this crap of Moddeling a all. it totaly breaks all Lines and destroys the complete Design Concept of the Cent at all.

And changing the Camo. Well i payed for another Camostyle and i want to keep what i payed for.

Why was the camo changed for all the centurians?? I loved the paint scheme i had on mine, now from torso down its all black and from torso up all red. This looks terrible! I almost dont want to pilot my centurion just because it is so ugly. I know cosmetics are not everything in this game but I am one of those guys that likes to "fly with style" so to speak. I dont mind the new cannon arm in fact i kinda like it, but give me my paint back man! come on.


This is what my centurion looks like now...terrible. Just terrible

I don't like the right arm mod either. I think they could have gone a different way to show the weapon barrel but I assume they now have a system in place to handle these visual mods and what we got was what the system allowed when keeping the relative weapon sizes in mind. ( It still looks like "box" with gun barrels sticking out. One could say it has an omnipod quality... sadly completely out of place on a Centurion )

I honestly fear the day, the Dragon gets this treatment. One of the very few redeeming features on the !C are the two high energy hardpoints. But I fear, they will be converted into 2 single hardpoints, and the second one will be much lower then the first...like how it was done with the Hunchback H/G. :(
