I still don't understand the hype about this thing. it's a slow as heck. DOA walking trash can, the thing wont see action in CW because it's soo SLOW! and I can already hear 'Friends don't let friends XL Garbage Can.' because LOOK AT IT! it's Torso's are the size of an Awesome. maybe it can pack a very large gun. But really that wont help it survive. though if you can get kills on assaults in this thing (WITHOUT HELP) then you should get like a major achievement, and bragging rights.

Torsos the size of an Awesome? O_o Did you SEE the screenshot on the front page? It's barely taller than a Centurian's waist!

It's a mascot, dood. It's the comic relief of the franchise. It's loved because it IS so hopelessly outclassed. Everybody likes an underdog

It also did some ridiculous things in TT, as I understand... As I understand, the game is based on Battle Values. So, teams are 'even' as long as the battle values match. But the Urbies BV is so low, that they can throw a ton of them at a single mech, and always win through attrition.

They are the Sherman Tank of battlemechs! Get 5 or 6 of them together, and they'll kill a Tiger II

On the 8th day of Urbmas, PGI gave to me ... A Warhorn and a new Map.

Nice post K.S.S. bravo! Well trolled! It's always fun addressing the urbanmech in the room!

[Virgil Greyson]

Not digging the warhorn at all, but everything else is great.

[FORGE88]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Everything about Urbie has been perfect so far but the warhorn is just as terrible as all the Innersphere warhorns.

Hey man that war horn is to cool. I got a laugh and its cool at the same time.

I can see the Warhorn being used in other mechs as well.

I am actually surprised how good it is. Who ever chose this way horn knows a thing or two.

I still dont like the Davion Warhorn if it makes anyone feel better.

After listing to all of them repeatedly, I find Steiner and Marik are the only ones above "Meh" by being really freaking cool and kinda decent respectively. As for the others, Kurita could have been really good, just to be ruined on the final Strech, Liao is just boring and Davion and FRR share a spot on being completely unremarkable.

good theme song.

This post contributes absolutely nothing to the conversation (it's been said already), but I feel strongly about these points ...
- I am disappointed in the war horn.
- 7/8 is not bad, though ... still no regrets buying the collectors pack (and I haven't even received it yet).
- the new map is what we wished forest colony looked like.

PGI, overall, good job, but man that war horn sucks.

[Taffer]

Aw man I didn't like the camo. I hoped the warhorn would be amazing, or at least funny.

Guys, that warhorn ...... I just don't know how you wound up with that. This is the Urbanmech, and that's the warhorn you came up with?

I'd much rather put the tired wub one on there.

These warhorns should only be used in Gold Clan Mechs.

[Eagle01]

I love the way the warhorn times very well with the pop-up Urbie. Although I'm still kinda sad we won't be getting the "They called me slow... once" pattern for the normal variants...

[Xaxius Colnier]

I was hoping for a Ba Dum Tsh possibly played on an overturned trashcan and its lid

Not everyone is here to play only meta builds. You know, some people want to have fun when playing games, and using something hilariously slow, small and outclassed is a way to have fun. Seriously, i din't get why so many people have to minmax everything...


BTW, the warhorn... Meh, i expected something more "trollish", maybe even a troll song cut.

[dr lao]

made my order I figure all the stuff i buy like prime time you get 60 days prime time and some cockpit stuff 3 mech bay Im only spending about $5 more on this set so why not

Edited by dr lao, 04 April 2015 - 07:06 AM.

[Cyrilis]

Did someone realize that the standing cockpit item and the warhorn are actually the same? In the standing cockpit item promo video the urbie pops out of the trash can in the very moment the kill is made... so I assume the video also shows the warhorn and not the standing item.

Did PGI mix something up there?
Are we up to a surprise on tuesday?

[General Pete]

All the other stuff is just fluff, nobody bought the Urbanmechs for the warhorn or even the cockpit items. We bought them because after the Clans are crushed, the martian Warpods are invading, and only one mech has the firepower to crack their forcefields.

[White Bear 84]

Wiill day 12 be an urbanmech only urban map for urban mechs?
