I finished the Turnament and got my new Champion Victor. Considering the intense grind, I was really hoping to get that cool Camo shown in the Turnament Advertisement.

No, it's not false advertising in the least. It said "you get Victor 9S(C) and a mechbay to go with it", that's what we got.

what does it looks like?

[The Great Unwashed]

I was also disappointed when I received my new car.



It came without the extras.

come on the "adv" never is true - especaly for MWO.
When they brought the Champion Stalker - it looked great with the flame pattern - after some complaints they did add the hint that the camo is not part of the deal.

but with the anoucement of the Thunderbolt Champion - they over trumped themselfes - not only the camo pattern was another - nope it was a TDR-5S that was used to anounce the TDR-9SE (C) - i can understand it - the rocket pods on the TDR-9SE are ugly as hell.

Well - and if you look closer - the Ultra AC Arm of this "challenge" victor looks better as the arm of the Mech ingame.

A free Victor and mechbay was stated as the gift. You got what was promised.

I do admit that I feel that image is a bit misleading. They should have posted the plain olive camo version for the promotion photo.

Still it is a nice gift.

Best forum post ever!!!!!! lol'd so hard, along with all my working colleagues... (don't tell my boss)

[Foxwalker]

Considering the new Atlas and Cent AH came with nifty camos I was hoping the picture for the Victor was accurate and included the shown Camo. I failed to see the disclaimer: " Shown Camo not included."

Sometimes I think some of you guys that regularly post, will disagree just to be contrary. By the way, the sky is blue....

even without the girls in the add, the car would still be disappointing, also most of these blondies, if not all are fake too, so double false advertising

sharp knees would not bang 2/10

i don't mind not getting the camo really, aside from mechlabbing it's not like you ever actually see it. wouldn't have minded different geometry though.

Gamers need to learn what "false advertising" actually means. A skin in the photograph that goes unmentioned is not false advertising, and neither is a ****** ending to the Mass Effect trilogy. There are actual instances of false advertising, such as when Battlefield 3 pre-orders for the PS3 promised a download of Battlefield 1943 but didn't deliever, resulting in an actual lawsuit that actually did something because it was actually promised because false advertising requires an actual promise.

If you would like to see more actual examples of false advertising, I suggest paying attention to the news regarding the Black Friday sales, because every year a bunch of people try to start a media-backed protest of a store because they couldn't read what was and what wasn't advertised, like "while supplies last" and "no rainchecks" and people have to go onto the news and explain stuff that I understood as an seven-year old.

all the sales show mechs in various camos, none come with. Ditto for tourney stuff. And nowhere does it say it does.
