Heres hoping the hitboxes turn out like my crude drawing!

You just know that big ol' nose will be easy to hit from just about any direction, like on the Mad Dog, or the Timberwolf... so yeah..

But I will say this..

I will be heavily pushing that afer the Crab is out, we have a fun CW - animals only drop..

IS can show up first wave with 10 crabs and two "Mommy and Daddy" king crabs... and Clans can show up first drop with 10 Timberwolves and 2 "Mommy and Daddy" Direwolves...

And let nature take it's course...

(Yes I know Timerwolves are heavys and crabs are mediums.. but still would be fun)

P.S.

I also HOPE that they tuck that nose mounted laser under the nose (so it does not extend beyond the nose itself).. the way it sticks out in the concept art is sooo fugly..

250 ton IS dropdeck = 3x Crab + 1x King Crab

wont be effective, but would be funny if you could get a 12 man to drop only those.

Its tough to do well in the faction wars with a KC. So much ranged combat and the KC is best as a close range fighter I think. Thats unless a tunnel map is added and I really do hope they add a tunnel map some time. From previous topics about maps I think they will some time.

Lots of mining map topics and chat for a long time. I think the best topic on maps is no longer viewable because it may be used for upcoming maps, was one of the best topics ever with lots of great sci fi scenery. Many desktop worthy and took forever to load the page, maybe thats why no longer viewable.

Looks cool, will play, don't care if it's "DOA".

First thing, I'll hobble to the team's King Crab, and stick with him like a little puppy.

The Wolfhound I'm kinda underwhelmed about, with no JJ it looks like a bad excuse to not play a Panther. I'd gift them to a starting player if I could.

I never really liked this arbitrary system where buying a medium necessitates you to also buy a light, buying a heavy both a medium and a light, etc, I hope the individual mech packs a´la Marauder will be the new norm.

Thats something thats always annoyed me, why can't we choose which variant we want to have the CBill boost?

Because they cant have a situation where the best variant of an IS chassis has a C-Bill boost, or people will cry Pay to Win, despite the fact that getting extra cbills after a match has no bearing on winning the match. People are stupid.

IS NOBODY EXCITED ABOUT THE CRAB?

Nobody is ever excited about getting Crabs!

Shocked maybe but not excited.

Dual PPCs on a medium mech that isn't a stormcrow!

If that is your criteria, may I recommend the Vindicator 1AA. Dual PPC, fires all day, 40% velocity quirks to PPCs, runs at 116kph when speed tweak is unlocked, jumps pretty freaking high.

Only downside is you will have to play the Vindicator 1X to elite it. Possibly the worst medium in the game.

I cannot wait, it's gonna be a good mech.

I think the Crab was built by zeee Germans. Just say'n.

I'm thinking more over hyped, overpriced, over engineered, and over emissions (little VW stab there) .



Actually, I'm thinking the Crab will be pretty cool, I am looking forward to it. I do think I will name each mech after the name of a certain TV show cast of characters...

Over engineering it is the ONLY way to fly.

And as for VW. They are still damn fine cars. Just because the hippies aren't saving the environment AS GOOD as they thought they'd be......

I want a new VW bug and paint it yellow LIKE THE REAL BUMBLEBEE!
