looks pretty easy to dismember.... just like I said she would be... It could be good, but with MWO's accuracy it's going to be running around as a stick in no-time....

Nothing yet? What's happening?

Probably a famous Solaris mech and they will announce with the drop of Solaris. I mean that’s how I’d advertise another mech pack.

Maybe

That's not the (battle)droid we were looking for...

Oh well, maybe because of the joke they will give the announcement a couple of days...

"Silence fills the empty grave, but my mind is not at rest, because questions linger on... which mech it will be next"

My gut feeling says it will be a Clan light, IS medium or IS heavy...

this would be the best (cheapest) option - one model minimal changes

FireFalcon and Stilletto
same for the Battle Cobra (IS and Clan)

I still think it's gonna be Urbie IIC.

I'm not saying that because i want it though.
I hate IIC mechs.
Buncha clan knock-offs.

But circus mechs are ok? Jkjk

I hope not I absolutely dispise the urbie. Basically free kills or considered down a teammate.

I am not a fan of it either, but this is a misjudgement. The UrbanMech is one of the better light Mechs thanks to its god tier quirks. Massive armour and favourable geometry on a small chassis make it extremely survivable. It also packs a punch. And the UrbanMech is not even slow. It may not be fast compared to traditional lights but it is fast enough for what it should do, i.e. support your heavy assets.

Quirks it never was to get. Not that I’m not in favor of bumping crap Tier mechs up.

My judgement is biased off my personal experience in group queue. The recent event shined more light on my judgement and I’ll stick with it.

I mean, I took out my K9 in the recent event for the corgi and to do the easter event I hadn't yet, and by the time I'd completed every other challenge, I literally could not die. Murdered everything before it could kill me.
I had to go to another mech to do it.

The Urbanmech, especially if you have even the vaguest inkling of what you're doing in terms of build, skills and play, is one of the best light mechs in the game.

The Urbanmech IIC is also an offshoot of the standard urbie passion - I'm sure we'll get it eventually, even if just so russ avoid another 2 years of being pestered for an urbanmech!

you can lead a horse to water, man, but you know the rest. Urbie is a great little mech... for people who don't play it like a traditional light. It's a "pocket" Medium. If I was to base my opinion of a mech's worth off how bad most people are at using it in this game, I'd pretty much conclude every mech was bad... because the majority of players do kinda suck... regardless of mech.

I'm perfectly content for folks to keep believing like our Diabetic Overlord does.... one it keep Urbie a hidden gem, diamond in the rough for those who do know and appreciate how to use it... and two... it makes it that much easier for me to kill folks who continually underestimate what it can do. The r68, especially is a nasty little beast.

Huh, Bandito is going to be happy.

-sigh- another decent to good Clan mech, sometimes I hate how the IS works against themselves...

Still looking at the blue print, I think it's going to be solid but easy to dismember.

yeah that one wasn't even on my radar of mebbes. Interesting choice, though the hitboxes will be worrisome.

Sucks that FD decided to drop the "pistols" on the design. They're not that essential but they definitely looked better than the random laser boxes/barrels stuck to the backside of the hand. It gives the design at least a tiny bit of personality instead of being Blood Kite's smaller brother.
