They've already tested the waters with made up variants and no one has really seemed to mind that, so this would be a logical next step.

not the lobbies but the water is full of hidden sharks with lasers

TIR that they could be talking about releasing the hero variant of the Summoner with the leg mounted lasers.

Weapons in the legs are such a bad idea.....

Now imagine if one of the announcements in the MechCon is a melee pack? Berserker, Axman, Hatchetman and Scarabus... it would sell a lot! (specially if they announce that are working in Solaris game mode)

12 v 12 turns into 23 vs 1 oh yes I see so much success there with wonky hit detection of melee due to NO WORKING COLLISION CODE.

I will invest stock in NaCl if this is announced.

Solaris would not be 24 players in a match, I could see maybe up to like 4! 6 Maybe....but no more. 1v1 honestly would be alot better. Plus its Solaris, all the Esports can finally have a place to play and let CW be able to be more...hopefully...

If they refuse to go back to 8 v 8 to help fix ttk and say because of server slots... what makes you think... do you see where I'm going with that?

I could see 1v1, 4v4, 8v8 & free for all in a Solaris mode. I am being slightly optimistic though but it'd make sense and it'd draw more ppl in.

Russ confirmed on Twitter that the Mechcon mech is not the Mad Cat MkII.

I think it'll be an IS omni but melee would be my choice. (Although, the Nightstar does have a JJ variant so it could be a "jumping 95 tonner")

No offense, but that would be a REALLY lame "technically never done before" cop-out.

Knowing PGI, it might actually be the case, though.

Shouldn't be IS dec is slated as a clan mech, but hey the mech guy is good at picking bad mechs. So you could be right.

Expect the kinda overhype like we got out of the clan heroes announcement.

I hope you get a quad mech... however my low expectations are telling me it's something so mediocre they will have to point out why it's never been done before. Clown mechs that was a pretty harsh response. Not really trying to fight it's never smart to say things like that to your customers. Look how the cockpit item contest ended up.

I'm not offended, I was kidding about the Nightstar being the mech. At the least it should be an IS omni but it is the Clan's turn so idk.

A special never done before mech for MechCon for dec (should be a clan mech, but I wouldn't be surprised if they lied). It's supposed to have something none of the other mechs have had.

I say think small like heavy metal had the first warhorn. It will be like that.

When exactly did they say it is a Clan Mech?
