Well, I'm just gonna look at the bright side, gonna be another mediocre medium for me to score easy kills on until people realize it sucks and it goes the way of the Trebbie. Especially since we can figure it to be at least as large as my Victor.

Belorion, in one of those, you will either need to channel the spirit of Chuck Norris AND Kai Allard Liao, or I'm gonna have to be REAL drunk. And it ain't even because I'm that good, it's because as a design, the RoboChimp sucks THAT bad.

Now if you were driving Johnny Paddlehands, I would maybe have to work some. Stupid bloody thing doesn't even have JJs.

So it looks STOOPID, has inferior hardpoints to the Dervish, and inferior mobility. What purpose doe sit serve again? Heck it doesn't even fill the role of Liao Punching Bag for us to beat up on like a Vindicator would......

Whats your beverage of choice and where do I send it?

*continues rant*

Hell one of it's "Missile" hardpoints is a NARC so you get to use it as a "missile machine gun" if you wan't a decent weapon there, or one of it's energy hardpoints is in the CT, so no PPC for you! And because you are stuck with a beamer, have fun torso twisting!

KIntaro

or



Gimme a steaming double pile of the poo, please!

Yeah, haters gonna hate...



PS: I don't get why we need the Kintaro in MWO either. Maybe the devs are feeling the Japanese community needs a nod (as they did with the Russian when releasing the Ilya Muromets). This Kintaro-thing is monkey business, I say.

Hasn't each 'Mech put into MWO since the implementation of the Highlander had its appearance change to reflect the loadout?

As such, why wouldn't the KTO-18 or KTO-19 launcher mount change (or be expected to change) its appearance to reflect the appropriate number of missile tubes as the launcher placed there changes?

not 100% so. Elseways my VTW-9S would be packing 45 missile tubes instead of 10 when I try to carry LRMS?

Was also unaware of any dedicated NARC carriers stock post Highlander.

So it's the Kintaro. Well if it looks like this, I will be very pleased...

I ran into this cool picture of the Flashman and wanted to share...

[Joachim Viltry]

Ahhh, the Flashman. She was always my nemesis in MW2 mercs. anyone else remember that mission with the ice pillars/henge where you had to deal with a Flashman? then that was followed up with a Stalker trundling down the hill, if my memory serves...

Time to fire up the win98 laptop, and break out a copy of Mercs!

It is tricky, but it is possible to run MW2M in WinXP and Win7. (heck, there isn't a year I don't replay this game since its launch)

Ah, the "Mad Panda" Flashman.


Yup, the artists handle on MW:O is Sommer Strauss. Coo person, really good artist. Not a "Technical" style, but Sommer and SirDubDub both have a very vivid art style. I would suggest to ANYONE on here that is not familiar with it to check this also:

exactly. SOmmer did great work on it.

And it looks cool because it basically looks NOTHING like the TRO version. Which is the ONLY way one will succeed in doing so, IMO.

[Belorion]

Not unlike some of the other radically altered designs the frame is generally the same with different exterior. The Quickdraw, Spider, The Project Phoenix mechs, the Flea all kind of fit that pattern.

[Adridos]

Well, I "think" that Kintaro's height will be quite good now and definitely not in the Quickdraw fiasco category. In "my mind", it is just a little smaller than the Cataphract, but being a design that, like Centurion, is characterised by midsection that looks like a Miss in corset and places the upper toros a bit above it's 55 ton peers, the height is justified. I can't wait to get my hands on the model and see how close my "prediction" was.

Also guys, behave, it's against forum rules to post details about unanounced content you've found in the gamefiles.
