Well, I bought the collectors pack as I have bought every other top pack before... lol... I don't mind supporting a company that in recent months has pulled out the stops to make things right. Plus, playing this keeps me out of trouble with the wife bawhahaha...
My only real question is what is the point of the Urbanmech in MWO other than "look what I got"... haha Now, don't go pulling out your 12 flamer Nova's on me just yet. It is a valid question.. hehe The armor, firepower, and speed alone tell me that this will have no place in a standard match against the current line up. Understand that while I love the MW games and love me some rockem sockem robot action I'm not a lore hound so go easy on me here... lol...
Talking stock, Urbanmech is the grunt. Your footsoldier. Very simple weapon loadout, main and secondary, easy focus less to worry about.
CW is evolving and townhalls hinted at possibilities of troops/tanks. In situations where your capped by money limits or tonnage limits it might be in your best interest to field 6 urbanmechs instead of one atlas.
Or like the tonnage limit of 240, that's 8 urbanmechs.
If his size is like previous games he is SMALLER then a Commando and a commando here in MWO is fricken small.
Urbie is the 2nd cheapest mech you'll see in game 1,471,925 C-bills. The cheapest being hornet 1,441,600 C-bills which is like a urban recon cousin of urbie I'm hoping we see later. The difference cheaper then a UAV/arty strike.
Its one of those things you got to see for yourself. Make a wannabe stock urbie out of a spider thin rear armor, heavy front (like a WWII tank) and go toe to toe with anything bigger then you are, get in their face point blank.
Then when you win realize this thing is going to have more armor, 360 rotation, might even shoot twice as fast, and they are giving you a ac/10 cooldown module too.
If he's accurate size, I think folks might be in a shock with urbie comes out, Could end up getting nerfed.
Its better to think of urbie as an assault, you rather fight heavies and assaults instead of lights.
