While browsing around the mwo site I noticed something cool on my profile. It gives you a scrollable icon list of your mechs with their names. It also uses the really old models for a lot of mechs. Looking at the founder hbk and other hbks i remember my mechs looking like that in the game.

They have been redone with the new(er) textures and I kind of miss the older ones. The cockpit statue of the catapult very closely resembles the closed beta look and screen shots. Having an mc option to go back to the old textures and paint option would be nice. Now all I can do is get paint and kind-of-paint my mech to the way it use to look.

What do you think of that icons list of your mechs? If you could use the old textures and paint as a swappable option would you? Maybe a saved camo option one and saved camo option two for a different look. With the coming soon tm decals system such a paint option would be great.

Yeah, I want the old textures back, they looked pretty rad, but I believe they opted for the customizable colour channels which resulted in needing to redo/scrap the old camos.

If they brought back the old ones, I would suspect that we would lose that option for those patterns. I doubt we would even have an option to even change the overall colour of them.

And it never seems to look the same when they add those channels. For example the Clan patterns... You just can't get them to look the same. And also the founders patterns, although they've gone through about 3 changes, they had to scrap the old ones... Do you remember that all we could change were the yellow stripes? Ugh.
Something changes that makes them look... flat when they change them to 3 colour channels...

The old camos certainly had a lot of depth to them it seemed like.
