I must be honest here: I never liked the mauler, and never understand why people like it :)

And beside, I absolutely LOVE mech designs in fasa TRO, even when community write they are weird.
Maybe I'm a strange guy :P

We got enough mechs for now. Why are we missing cool features? That is the better question.

P.S Russ hates all OLD GUARD players that is why so many iconic mechs that were asked for 3 years ago he not put in game because old guard players ask for them he is aasshole and hates all of us old PC MechWarrior players.

PGI wanted to add the Marauder and Warhammer way back in 2012 but were stopped by the legal restrictions here. Do some research before accusing people.

I support the posting of the Mauler. It's the only mech I would pay real money for, and I don't even play assaults.

Is that the actual concept art for the Mauler in MWO?

Just posting this to remind me to pick apart everything wrong about the OP and his subsequent replies for when I get home.
Maybe he'll learn something.

Haruko used model parts from existing MWO mechs to make a frankenmech Mauler for MWO's art style. It's not official.

Welcome to the club. Most of us that have been around for awhile have a similar background with Battletech/Mechwarrior, Although I don't think many of us can claim to have met all the original programmers...

This kind of reminds of a thread someone posted maybe six months back. A self proclaimed Mechwarrior "expert" made a thread proudly proclaiming that MWO had named the mechs wrong... That the Timberwolf was supposed to be the Mad Cat, the Summoner was called the Thor and they had royally screwed the pooch by misnaming the mechs with made up names..... It ended up that the OP had no idea that the mechs actually had different clan names. :rolleyes:

I'm not saying you're like this guy, but I am confused.... If you have been involved in this franchise as long as you say you have, why would you even ask about the Unseen and proclaim PGI hates the "old guard?" What is wrong with the mechs we have so far? They are all true to the timeline and PGI has done an incredible job of updating the designs while keeping them true to the original concepts. What exactly are they doing wrong?

I'm with you on those points, love the old TRO artwork, as for the mauler I don't mind the mech but its a bad chassis, players think it will be good in MWO probably because of the 4 ballistic slots that come with it....sadly those will be low mounted like the AC20 on the atlas.

What exactly are they doing wrong?

I used this topic to start a dialog about MWO itself not just the mechs I will say The devs have done a good job mostly on maps & mech design some are strange and fugly but overall good mech designs.The legal problems with the unseen could have been eliminated before closed beta and those mechs could have been in MWO.

But the overall game to many that have been long time BattleTech/TT/MechWarrior players and fans is a joke and does not live up to the MechWarrior IP expectations of even a basic MechWarrior game like mechwarrio2 was.

Read my post in 8v8 im not going to duplicate threads RUSS is a person with one bottom line idealism about MechWarrior =minimal viable product and let it ride 3 years I have watched this game decline overall because of lack of vision and the commitment to make MWO a true MechWarrior game like its predecessors.

If you want me to make a laundry list of changes to make MWO into a true MechWarrior game just let me know russ is willing to change the core game design and many will help him but if not MWO will stay a backward boring game.

Come on Aniviron only time anyone used a locust was to pack it full of high explosives and go blowup on some poor bastardd.

And the trashcan was only good for jump jetting up and long-tom someone? which was a joke.

But ok I guess there are some nerds out there that might get off on all the weird mechs in MWO.



If you think the Locust is bad, then you need to learn how to pilot one... there is nothing like the rush I get using it in this game, as any one good hit will kill me....

Makes you a hell of a good pilot if you can master piloting it. And by master I don't mean skill tree.

He smells more like a Smurf who a Troll used to clean his arse with. He has a lot to say about a game he admittedly doesn't even play much.;)
