Linebacker has only one more ton podspace than the adder.

To be fair though, the Adder also craps over STD250 and above IS 50 tonners, all clan lights and IFR/SHC (NVA when you do not count the NVA's locked in 4 DHS)

So, does the Scorpion LAM remind anyone else of the old-school Cylon Raiders? Posted Image

Now the last predictable mech was announced, we can get back to topic; meaning: "What do you want to do today?" - same thing we do every day: try to guess the next mech!





Wasp?!


So, do we have reason to believe that the run of Clan 'Mechs will continue, or do we have reason to believe that PGI might switch back to IS 'Mechs for the next 'Mech? Posted Image

They will go IS because it's the opposite of what I want them to do.

Probably back to IS. Keep in mind they did a pretty substantial IS run what with all the reseens, so it is all fair play. I'd like to see some IS light and mediums, next, as well as a Clan light and medium intermixed with the IS set. So one IS, one Clan, one IS, one Clan, etc.

Yet since is had a year of mechs before clans I think they still outnumber clan options by a lot still but that's none of my business in these rose colored forums.

Meh. The IS always maintains a significant variety advantage. However, 50 shades of white is still white. IS has a lot more redundancy going around in their mech selection options as vs the Clans. At least most of the recent Clan additions have been mechs of good quality, which drives up the percentage of good robots vs the bad ones.

Pretty much. The IS has far more types of mechs then the clans but the clans have better options. for every new IS mech it somehow obsoletes another.

I understand the meme but you say it so much it just makes you look like a pre teen edgelord honestly. Great job jimmy you know memes heres a gold star.. people wanna talk about mechs but here you are all doom and gloom. I just think this game needs more quad mechs.

Imperius I do not understand your salt here...Russ before last town hall never gave us any real answers besides a little soon^TM, yea I admit maybe from his call out to you I had my hopes up as well for awhile on it, but after listening to what the man had to say and understanding what had to be done now....we just got 4 realitivly decent and unique mechs for Clans. All have a place imo and happy to see them in. Now go back to the last town hall....

Russ finally gave you the most complete answer to date on tte Mk II and when to expect it. He said a few months, not years months! That should have you jumping for joy honestly, they have thier agenda planned out almost 5 mechs or so (so 5 months? ) ahead of current drops so EVEN if Russ was thinking about it back then we would have it what next month? But considering we just got a bunch of Clan mechs probably not , assume we habe a few IS mechs next, cause it is thier turn now we could expect it maybe to minimum of 2 to 4 months. Imo better space 6 to 8 out. So before you get salty with us try going with the flow here, the water is nice and calm, things are going rather smoothly (beside the minimap hickup), it's a great time to grab a cold one and not stress so much over this stuff man. MK II is coming sooner then later, but if you continue to be salty and tie your self to it....could worsen the situation for the mech and ppl supporting it. LooK at Bishops thread it's in the lead tied with the Nova Cat, with out you needing to rant about the mech, ppl want it! It's coming...

Please man relax and go with the flow, it's far less stressful come mech release times :D

Back in February I was told a few months... I just leave it at that. I already said I won't believe a word out of that mans mouth until it's got concept art and a working buy page on the mwomercs site.

I'm not ranting about the mech either. First people still can't get my name out of their mouth even mods. Every time a carrot about the MK II is dropped out of Russ' mouth someone has to go where is Imperius. I just stated the obvious that we will go back to selling is mechs even though they still have more is mechs than clan so that justification that it's their turn still makes no sense.

As for me so called delaying the MK II I don't care either the longer they wait the less money they get from me. It's quite simple. It's of no consequence to me I have games to play.
