Agreed, I bought it because... MARAUDER!!1one but still... 300 is a must have I think.

Sweet, more mech packs........those will be fun to play in the updated CW mod............err wait, never mind. Good job PGI, don't bother with content that actually improves the game, us lemmings will just keep buying every mech pack you throw at us.

So If I buy the top-tier marauder pack, AND the $15 extra for the bonus one, (Total of 55$) I still don't qualify for the Top-tier IS appreciation reward? (It was a Zeus).

That's messed up. I can understand the 20$ package not getting it, or maybe even the 40$ one, but not even if I pay 55$? That's messed up. I'm not buying the top-tier or the bonus hero 'Mech if I don't qualify for the reward. I'll just buy the 20$ one, or none at all.

Did you spend $80 like all the other top tier packages?
No?
There's your answer.

By the way, for $40 you get 60 days premium time, which is more time than what you get with paying $60 for a normal pack(double to be exact). You would have to spend the $80 for a normal pack to get 60 days premium time AND you get to sell the duplicate marauder for millions of c-bills without losing a chassis. The $40 Marauder pack is sick deal.
But, keep complaining. What ever.

Makes sense, look how much the top tier IS packs cost... $80

My ONLY concern, is that they will do something wonky with the ballistic barrel.... Please, please, PLEASE, do not make the barrel short if I stick a Gauss rifle in there. It HAS to have that big barrel, or it's just not a Marauder!

Yes, this. It's gatta be big. It's gotta be looooong. XD

Nice to see all the fans opening their wallets again. I myself don't mind paying the $55 for it - looks great. BUT when is the release date for Cbills and MC?

This is a repeat of the Urbie where the release date remains TBD

What is there To Be Determined??? JUST ANNOUNCE A DATE

I have bought every pack since I found this game including the Urbie. You can get away with it once. But this is going too far.

PLAY FOR FREE is a lie and it is being reinforced here. As I said I don't mind paying for the pack, but I do mind that other players cant buy it for CBills later.

REALITY CHECK:
There are 252 active mech variants at the moment and 32 pending delivery. Total of 284 for a game that is still not ready for release on Steam!

We have gone from buying a game that is fully working off the shelf to:
Buying a mech pack and waiting for release (incl $500 Gold mechs - remember those?), to
Buying a mech pack that is not available for Cbills (Urbie), to
Buying a mech pack when another mech pack is not delivered yet, to
Buying a mech pack that is not available for Cbills when other 2 other mech packs are not delivered yet.

And the game is STILL not fully functional because of limited resources at PGI??

Wake up people... This is greed and we are feeding it. TBD REALLY???

I'm sorry if I sound rude - but how long do you think we can still be fans? Announce a date for the rest of the community.

EDITED - OBSOLETE, TBD is still used, bu the mechs do eventually become available for in game purchase. I take back what I said.

Just a quick question, if i do not have the PPC and Target moduals unlocked do i still receive them when the mechs come out? Just wondering if it will bug or just sit greyed out in my inventory.

[Dunereaper]

yup

You'll just get that module. Not built in or anything.

[Reno Blade]

Is the hardpoint layout for the 5M correct?
It shows 3E on left arm and 2E on the right arm (plus 2B on the RT).
I would have thought that both arms get the same number of hardpoints...

[Tarogato]

"Wahhh why is the -BH2 is capped at a 275 engine while all the others are 360? It should be the same!"

Because there is a formula that PGI has used ever since ever that determines the max engine any mech can equip. For heavy mechs, it's 1.2 times the stock engine. In this case, 1.2 multiplied by the stock 225 gives us a maximum rating of 270. Be glad they actually gave us a 275 instead. =P


And yes, 1.2 times the stock 300 gives us 360.

My lights love it when a new target gets released for them.

Not personally interested in the design, as I'm probably not old enough to get on this nostalgic hype train anyway.

Stick Gauss in that side torso, everybody!

We won't target it like a hunchie. We swear.

[ChrystalNiNja88]

Quite the pleasant surprise when I got home. Never liked how it looked in MW2 (looked sorta goofy) and only recently warmed up to the TO look of the original, but this looks nice.

[Speedy Plysitkos]

marauder = dont care.

Gimmick Urbie hero... then ill show ya $$$$$

[Luscious Dan]

Hard point allocations are different and interesting (loadouts, jump jets, etc.). Should have different roles for the variants assuming they are all viable re: quirks. Really hope anything based on PPCs in the fluff gets a heat generation quirk... peeps are just too hot for 10 dmg and 7 tons. If not, the canon variants that swap for LLs to make the heat management easier will likely be repeated in MWO.

Rather likely purchase, would like more transparency on the outcome of the PTS balance pass first though. Don't want to spend the $$ though if the game is going to get less pleasant (for IS mechs especially) in the coming months. Some indication that the new balance system from the PTS will not be implemented without major updates will probably pull $55 out of my pocket pretty quickly.

[PFC Carsten]

MUST. RESIST. URGE. TO. BUY.

No, seriously. it's a good deal, but I want to see delivery of solid game mechanics (Balance, CW) instead of ever new geometry around non-proven hardpoint-assortments ('Mechs) before there's any more money out of my wallet PGI.
