I may have missed the information on where we are supposedly doing our battles, could you link it if possible? On the other hand, seeing you are Draconis - I'd think that you would be more concerned for your brothers whose very planets are being taken from them as we speak. It shouldn't matter where a person fights, far end of inner sphere or not, crazy things are happening right now according to the time line.

I'm telling you guys right here, right now. We will be the LAST ones to learn about the clan invasion or mech 20. I almost guarantee that this will be a magazine exclusive.

They reserved the highlander of all mechs for the pcgamer article and honestly other than clans, assault mechs are the ones that really get people excited. I'm not saying that because I'm exclusively an assault pilot, it's just that few people get excited for the jenner or commando like they would with an atlas.

Now if I am wrong and the clan invasion is NOT a magazine timed release then I really would have no clue and I would assume that IGP is lacking one as well.

March: the least satisfying Clan Invasion month ever? Thanks PGI for making massive planetary invasion as disappointing as possible.

Inner Sphere planets are currently being battled over RIGHT NOW and yet there is no ISSN, there are no reports of anything, there is certainly no clan mechs to be seen nor a Clan faction to play. Not even the hint of the IS assault mech announced let alone the first 4 clan mechs.

How disappointing can Clan Invasion month be? Apparently as much as humanly possible. PGI has missed a GIANT opportunity for marketing and sales by letting this slip by, avoiding every possible chance they have to mention a full scale invasion taking place in the inner sphere right now. The only thing that can save us from bitter disappointment and regret is to see some Clan action this month. AT LEAST ANNOUNCE SOMETHING PGI.

A total of 35 planets are taken over during the first 2 months of invasion. FRR, Dracons Combine, and the Lyrans are currently being hit hard as we speak. They are at war and yet we hear nothing from PGI. What is the point of the time table if you do nothing with it? To disappoint Battletech fans? Why even bother?

At the very least, and I reiterate, please announce something. Announce how horribly behind you are and how clans are not something we should even be thinking about for another year, I don't care - but this silence is far far worse then anything you can do considering the current state of Clan Invasion during this timeline PGI is supposedly sticking to (which is not going well for them by the looks of this month).

Or you can show us some pretty pictures by Alex and make us all a little happier. You have less then 3 weeks. Technically you missed your deadline, you missed your best opportunities already to milk the Clans to increase the popularity of MWO drastically. Lets see how badly you handle the rest of Clan Invasion month.

We most likely wont be getting any ISN posts about the Clan Invasion due to the fact that the ISN is controlled by ComStar, and they'll be suppressing any information about it.

Or, if you listened to NGNG, it is because Garth is still on vacation.

Probably in the PC Gamer... :D

(luckily I'm a subscriber)

You know, PGI, you could show some future art in the magazine, planning ahead, not delaying an art that should be released a month ago...

With the exception of the CP-11-B (dual gauss), I find the Cyclops very meh.

PS: the CP-11-B won't be produced so soon.
