I just don't understand how a Jagermech is going to work when Future Perfect has already removed AC/2's from the game.
Maybe he will soon announce a new weapon-type?Hail to the "Future Perfect"!

I just wanted to say thank you for this thread! lol

I'm really new to all this MechWarrior info, and I've been trying to do a good amount of reading up on it, what was really annoying at first is seeing the mech reveals, and having now idea what type of mech class, or well anything in fact about the mech, they just have the little story piece in their post and that's it. This thread helped me at least identify the class types, along with the wiki is helping me understand things. I'm sure this looks like a dumb post to you more well informed members but it's helped me a lot, thanks ^^

That´s kind of a big deal information. All those MW4 fans should sit back and relax ´cause they favorite mechs are going to take a looong time to show up.

Another of these threads? Sigh, it is probably going to be a heavy or light assault close range brawler.

That's Mr. Thread for you.

It's going to be an Assault (Cyclops or Banshee) or Light (Firestarter or Hussar). And it will be announced in 18 July.

There aren't many fitting medium or heavy mechs left to add.

I think PGI will stop this first batch of IS mechs in 4 or 5 mechs for each class.

Soon!

Clan mechs will be announced either in August/September of this year (Periphery strike) or, most likely, in March/April of 2013 (proper IS invasion).

And I can say exactly what clan mechs it will be:

Light:
  • Dasher
  • Koshi
  • Puma
  • Uller
Medium:
  • Black Hawk
  • Dragonfly
  • Fenris
  • Ryoken
Heavy:
  • Loki
  • Mad Cat
  • Thor
  • Vulture
Assault
  • Daishi
  • Gladiator
  • Man o'War
  • Masakari
That's one more reason for the devs to stop in 4 mechs for each class IS mechs in 2012.

I love how many of the people asking for clan mechs don't even seem to know the clan names. It's really reassuring that should the clans be available to players rather than bot driven that they're going to they're going to be piloted by so many 'dedicated clanners' who will stick to all that Zellbrigen crap that made them such sitting ducks at Tukayyid, rather than just turned into instant munchkin boats.

I'm going to say it'll be a light this time, and I think it's going to be the panther. Perhaps the wolfhound, but I think the panthers JJ give it the edge.
