Maybe it's the wide angled screenshot, but the Enforcer looks unusually slim compared to Centurion and Hunchback......

XL friendly it seems.

Right now, the "slowest" of the Enforcers from a labrat POV is arguably going to the best variant (assuming things go well with scaling+hitboxes). If it is XL friendly, it will be everywhere. I seriously mean this. It might actually be the best 50 ton variant in the game... but that's just in my mind. I actually believe this will come to fruition (unlike my Vindicator predictions from last year).

Looking at that pic.... I fell that the Enforce will make obsolete the centurion and the Hunch: slim, it can jump, xl friendly. The head is a little too firestarter-ish.

About the Panter I like those slimmy legs; honestly I'm planning to poptart with it, so its speed or legging won't be an issue. Its shoulders seem a little too much large.
(ER PPC Velocity +40%
ER PPC Cooldown +12.5%
ER PPC Heat Generation -12.5%)

Cannot wait for 2/10 really. Hitboxes are to key to understand how good these mechs will be.

I feel that one ballistic hardpoint is a little restricted though. You either put one Gauss with M.lasers, or straight up go the laser vomit route. Maybe one or two PPCs with backup lasers, depending on the quirk it gets.

I actually like the odd heft to the LA of the Enforcer, but the RA just seems.... not right. Enforcers have long gun barrel arms..... it's actually very much a "signature" part of their look.

Yes, I can understand that a big gun is cooler, but also it has a bigger hitbox.
I prefer not to be hit in that right arm. Except for the 5P, the enforcer's dakka goes there.

[Sarlic]

Both look splendid. Although i wished that chestplate was a more of a 'eyecatcher' from the Enforcer. The other mech, the Panther has his head/jaws as a eyecatcher.

[Cat-in-Exile]

Panther looks so damn awesome.

"FAT FIRESTARTER"

Mildly disappointed with Panther quirks. Expected something like 30-40% PPC Type reduction.

[Hit the Deck]

Woohoo, at last we have in game screenies!

I really like the Panther but not so much with the Enforcer. Just like Bishop said, too much Firestarter DNA. Also, the head looks better on the concept art. The arms aren't that exciting either to look at like some have said.

PS: BTW, Vindicators still have the sexiest legs among others.

Respectfully disagree. The sexiest legs in MWO go to Cicadas.

I'm a fan of the locust legs myself. Only mech I sometimes go to 3rd person with just to watch its cool running animation.

[kapusta11]

Looks like PGI fired the old modeller (or he/she just left) after all, a shame.

Locust animation is what all light (and mediums to some extent) chicken legged walkers should have had IMO. Except for Cicadas of course.

[verybad]

*meh* They're both rather boring. I'm not going to buy any more stuff from PGI until it's released. They're not bad, they're just bland.

Yeah, I don't get it why people are upset because they think the model (or parts of it) are too small.

[Revorn]

I am glad i didnt bougth them, Panter looks halfway oki to me, but the Enforcer? Wurgs.

[generalazure]

Enforcer looks like a good way to vent my hate of firestarters... without having to deal with the lag shield of real firestarters

[Senor Cataclysmo]

I love the Panther. Not too fussed about the Enforcer, but I've never really been that into humanoid mechs. Has anyone else noticed the modellers seem to have gotten better at copying the concept art as time has gone on?

MW:O has a problem with Snubbing Barrels in my opinion. But the general look of the enforcer seems good to me.

[Wintersdark]

I like the Enforcer a lot. I had no preconceptions for it, but I'm digging the slender frame and no-nonsense appearance. Custom paint actually looks great, too - a nice step from the horribly drab phoenix pack.

The panther, though, the mech i wasn't interested it? Its *hawt*. That's one sleek, mean looking little machine. I like it a lot!

[Axeface]

I think the panther looks great, no complaints. Enforcer's cockpit needs tweaking imo.
