Ugh...the wave 3 mechs look like utter crap too me compared to the concept art...super glad I refunded these...cbill version are only way I will get these fugly mechs. First wave so far the best clan mechs to date and likely ever will.

That's you're opinion, and you're entitled to it.

That said.
The Cauldron Born is amazing, and I will stride into battle looking like a sleek metal god!

So does this mean we will get the faction patterns in 2 days together with the executioner and ebon jaguar, or do we have to wait another month to get them?

1st part.

We're not sure yet... The mechs will be COMPATIBLE with faction camo from release, but so far, our faction selections are still jot until July 21st. So, unless they've made different announcements, if you want the camo for your mechs before the 21st, you'd have to buy it...

I will disagree. Both EJ and Executioner are really well done imo. You will never get a true from paper to models things always will come up. I think it was a job well done.

Personally I am going to have so much fun with the Executioner!

[The Great Unwashed]

I think the 3D models follow the concept art really well; you know exactly what you are going to get.

[dragnier1]

I've largely decided on the camo for the executioner

[Dawnstealer]

Nice walk cycle on the Executioner, by the way.

From C3 I like only the E-Jag (specialy Exe is ***** to me = koala face + turtle back + tiny legs), but for example from C1 I hate Timberlakes aka timberwolfs, and DWs. Extremely ugly both mechs in my eyes. But hey, we have tons of mech now, everyone can select indeed his personal best, and play with it. (the mech choices are perfect. Now we need more plaayabiliy with them, ie game-mods)

[SgtMagor]

did they tweak the jump jets, because even though the Ex had Masc engaged that looked like a far jump for an assault mech in the Video?

It is removable.

However some clan mechs have it hard wired... that includes the Executioner (Gladiator) and Shadowcat.
However Cataphract 3L, Flea, Wolverine 7D, etc can add and remove it if they have... "MASC ability", kind of like jumpjets, they put one of the appropiate weight and size and can place it anywhere valid but not literally anywhere.

however on large mechs that would be size torsoes only. as they can't fit a 4 or 6 slot MASC in the CT.

I am pretty sure that is not 100% correct. A better comparison would be ECM, not JJs. I think MASC will actually be fixed equipment, like jump jets are on some pods, but IF it is not, it will be a hardpoint somewhere like ECM is.

I am pretty sure you are trolling, but thank you for your opinion regardless.

[JRR1285]

Can't wait for the new 'mechs and to try out MASC. I have always avoided the Gauss Rifle once they implemented the charge mechanic but have been practicing with it to prepare for the EXE. I am actually loving the GR and its round velocity. If you can keep your cross hairs on the target it's almost a guaranteed hit the moment you release the button.

[Arkmaus]

Did they raise the stance of the EJ, or is it just the angle?

Yeah, I avoided the Gauss right after the nerf... But it's always been my favorite weapon in Mechwarrior games... So a month or two later I started using it again, especially for CW. It's still quite good. And, I find I'm more accurate with it, since firing is on releasing the key rather than the clicking. Just wish the charge/discharge noises were a bit louder in a firefight.

Russ talked about raising it, but I hope it wasn't modified at all from the early release screenshots. It looked perfect in them... Almost too good.

That said, I think both the Executioner and Ebon Jag look great. I wasn't one of the haters on the old mechs however... I think the Gargy and Ice Ferret were kind of adorable in an ugly-mech way.

The Ebon Jag has so many possibilities, it makes me excited. It can efficiently do a 3xUAC5 with 3xERML, the first non-whale to do it without stripping armor significantly or compromising on ~2 tons ammo per weapon. It can even do some high mounted gauss/LPL builds which should make it a great mid weight clan sniper as well, perhaps giving the Hellbringer a run for the money. Maybe I will start using another mech other than just my baby Loki.

So, what does everyone think will be in the last countdown day? Specs/Quirks?

That second face looks pretty pissed.

Reminds me of the grasshopper aliens from Original Battlestar Galactica movie

[Arkmaus]

Agreed.

The stance of the EB really drew me to it. I think it looks perfect and HOPE Russ didn't decide to change it. If they did change it, it would be a real let down. IMO.

My first try will be Gauss+LPLs. Really hope that is as fun as I think it will be. May do Gauss+MPLs as an alternate build, depending on how the arms work out as far as movement and spread.

I am hoping they announce the quirks today, but they come out tomorrow, so not too worried about it at this point.
