Hey, I think they upped the BH2s max engine, it says 300 now, wasn't it 275 before?

Also... It comes out December 1st! How awesome is that? :3 It will keep me running until the Origins collection drops... I'll be hard pressed to put it away, though.... Been waiting for the Marauder forever!

Now I just need that sweet Marauder II!

[Trystan Thorne]

Great design as always.

Not sure what to think of this yet though.
On one hand it's great to see the iconic Mech's return.
On the other hand, the game itself isn't really developing that fast. It's mainly Mech packs only really.
I can't rid the feeling that MWO is a pure cash grab these days. :-/

Uh. Is it just me, or is the standard marauder gold instead of green?

[Avenger762]

I've always loved the Marauder, but I really want to throw my money at the Warhammer and Rifleman. I use Jaegers because I really wanted a Rifleman. When can I expect to see them?

Balls still continues weak. The models released for PGI are all the same but for the player to read the files that models enters the story at different times with enough improvements at every point. Armor and weapons that what you want to sell and too weak. Since the "line time" is not respected or less respect in his pocket. I am disappointed as appear mech. Another note if ye have licenses because they do not MAKE the MW5 think it's time.

Completing the 3025 Technical Readout just took a big step forward.

I still have that book, and many others from my BattleTech/FASA days, most in mint condition. Sigh...the good'Ol days.

All my cardboard mech counters are worn out too, and the hex board has it's corners peeling up...

[Serpentbane]

Reminds me of a design I found online some years ago.



Not the worst choice of referance design. I kinda like it.

I think the special pattern Marauder is my favorite concept art to date... It's my new wallpaper on my computer and phone

I would have bought the IIC, I think this deal only appeals to IS players, and yes I am well aware that PGI is trying to increase IS activity in CW.

I'll say it before and I'll say it again, if you (PGI) contract a figure/statue out to somebody I will give you all my monies for one. I would probably buy the Marauder before anything else.

Wanna bet that's where our Artist pal at PGI got some inspiration for this one and his completed already Warhammer art?

When will we see elementals

Since PGI have decided to stand on their laurels and release this pack I have supported them all the way by purchasing the Collectors Edition with the Hero!

Not sure what you are saying here. The original idiom is: Rest on your Laurels

If someone rests on their laurels, they rely on their past achievements, rather than trying to achieve things now.

Are we assuming standing on your laurels is the opposite of resting on your laurels?

probably never. this is Mechwarrior.

that being said, it's entirely possible they'll show up in the online Battletech Game that's being kickstarted soon.

p.s. Elementals are Power Armor, not mechs. Same reason we don't have PAL suits, or Inner Sphere Standards, or Infiltrators, or Sloths, etc. etc. etc.

[K19]

This yes and true Marauder. I paid and so much more taste. But not what you say be Marauder.

the arms are not covering the ST from the sides thus wouldn't it make the ST a more valuable target and easier then say a mauler or centurions ST vs arm situation or the nova or mist lynx?

I find that I am often shooting at the arms off mechs with big guns on them because when those big things are pointed at you blowing off an arm is way faster than blowing the ST. That and often enough if the mech has big guns on both arms they have less effective weapons on the torso. so blow off the arms and pick it off at your lesure.

Standard or Collectors... You know it might help if you at the very least had some concept art to show for the "Classic" cockpit items to help nudge me in either direction. Plus posting the Warhorn sound would also be really swell.

Yeah Catalyst Game Labs Marauder re-imagining is pretty sweet. Quite close to the original, perhaps too close for PGI's comfort level?

[evil merlin]

UGH, it won't process my PAYMENT! I've been trying for an hour!

Yeaaahhh... I think they are gonna get screwed over by HG....

The PGI one looks completely different. Much sexier, IMO, than the original. I just hope it's got a very narrow profile from the front, like the original. Looks a lot like a King Crab to me... in a good way :3

holy quote spam batman.

Anyway the thing is the Marauder (especially BH2) can say mount the gauss rifle- heaviest IS weapon in the game and mount 3 Large pulse lasers/ 4 large lasers / 3 ppc's/ 2 ppc's + medium lasers/ 2 ppc's + 2 large lasers/ any combination like those (as an extreme case situation) The Marauder can easily have it's main hitter in the ST which would be an easier target due to said barrel and also get the arm off in the process... easier to aim for ST first and lose 75%+ of it's firepower then to aim at it's arms and then ST for more then double the effort.

No, stopped buying assault mechs... Least fav kind of mech I play.

Bought the hunchy IIC package though

it's an 85 tonner- just 10 tons heavier and very fast ^^;
What about the Locust IIC though?
