They give away Stormcrows right before the Urbanmech release. How much would you like to bet that tomorrow they give away a CSSRM6 launcher to every pilot with a match score of over 50?



...Come April 7th I know what I'm going to be doing!

Chasing a light mech around the battlefield while it's heavier buddies rip your team apart?

As a light pilot, I call that "Mission Accomplished".

Sure, you can SSRM6 me, but how will you deal with the Atlas I'll be riding into battle?

I'll simply hug his poor arms and he'll weep that he lacks the turning speed to catch a mere stormcrow!

There will be so much rabbit (urbie) chasing. I can't wait. I'm reminded of the days after the Death Knell released. I had so many people chasing me, I could occupy half the enemy team without even trying.Then they would brag about killing me (while their team got pummeled). One can only hope for such glory come the 7th.

No longer will we yell "Squirrel!". We shall hence forth yell "Urbie!"

[SaltBeef]

You will feel like an adder pilot in this mech.

DRIVE ME CLOSER, I WANT TO HIT THEM WITH MY SMALL LASER!

Who the hell needs Streaks to take out a light mech moving at <100 kph? If anything, the Urbening will mean that you don't really have to worry about Firestarters for a week, because 99% of the light mechs you encounter will be cute little R2D2's waddling around the map. So load up on the big guns!

I hope one of the Urbanmech countdown rewards is an anti-gauss rifle shield, because those little guys are going to need it.

...

I think we already know the answer to that question.

[FupDup]

Just you try to Streakcrow this:



SHAZAM!


The one downside to that video: Laser vomit Urbie...they already know that the Urbie's best builds might not be ballistic based.

The tears of joy... If the Urbie package turns out to be my last for some reason I will blame my bank for then I can die a happy person.

TEARS OF JOY I TELL YOU!

[Tom Sawyer]

Ok FupDup that had me laughing me so hard I think my grad student thinks I have gone nuts.

Such mental image.

Day is made.

All the win.

Getting sig'd.

If the Urbie is that strong I will be surprised. The Adder is OP. 30 Point alpha at 800 meters like the adder would be great.

It cant mount streak 6's so it wont do as well as the Adder vrs lights.

I doubt it can mount 2 LRM 20's so it wont be as an effective lrm boat, and definately wont have as much ammo. LRM 40 adders are surprisingly effective when it comes to LRM's no minimum range and all.

In fact the Adder, Kitfox, Storm Crow will be the Urbies worste nightmare. But then someone already mentioned streak 6's.

It should have been 6 DireWolves though. Urbie spanks the Clans baby! LOL! A classic MWO video for the ages.

2 LPL Puma > 2 ERPPC Puma, by a long shot. Way better heat management, easier aiming (hitscan), and more potential for pinpointed damage (ERPPC only does 10 to the location you hit and 2.5 to other hitboxes, whereas CLPL can be up to 13 if you hold it the full duration).

That aside, the Puma isn't exactly an OP mech. It's essentially a medium trapped in a light's body that wishes it could be a light as well as a light could be or a medium as well as a medium could be.

Its nearly a heavy trapped in a lights body maybe. I have piloted one and its only downside is cooling. I would laugh when players complain about the Adder but its been going on for to long.

.2 cooldown ERPPC, 0.1 heat?


Sounds like adequate quirks to me.



Also PGI, it's Atlai....not Atlas'.
