I post the challenge in my unit (from my other MWO account) facebook page. Maybe some of them will come join us in this challenge.


Sounds good. We have a decent amount of Challengers now, but not many on when I am on. At least some of you will be able to group up.

Pretty happy...damage is nice, but 6 out of 7 kills solo, is what I like to see.

Did a couple group games with Anders, I have to admit, they were pretty rough and I have really gotten used to the ECM crutch on my COM-2D, mastering the other Commandos will be rough.

Sorry, you couldn't pay me enough to grind Centurians again.

I got Panther ... which happens to be the Mech I least enjoyed levelling out of all of my 150 Mechs.

So much for that survey.

My only fear is not being able to afford an atlas after cadet bonus is done.

You start out with 5 million from training and then cadet bonus. If you do not have enough and there is no Atlas trial mech, then use whichever IS trial Assault until you have enough for your first Atlas, it would still be in the spirit of the challenge.

That is the core of the challenge, using a mech that was not your first choice.

Should have my first atlas in three games.

Got the first one DDC.

I think I will join the rest of you in the challange once I get my gaming computer back on Monday. I got a Victor just like many other people. Don't really need to make a alt because I've never piloted a Victor before but in the spirit of the challange I will anyway.

Remember the Centurion used to have broken CT hitboxs and were almost impossible to core before the hitboxes were fixed.

I just circled around to this challenge again after seeing the post on the Battletechgame forums. I had gotten Atlas long ago, so restarted my alt account, Sativarg (clever I know) and just finished up the tutorial. Probably starting with the -S, as that was a fav, and it'll be interesting to see how the 'fresh' account does.

Good hunting all. <o

Welcome to the Challenge! I will friend your alt account next time I am in-game. Also, if your alt account is not already in a unit / faction, I will be able to invite you to the What Mech Challengers unit, which is a unit exclusively for What Mech Challenge accounts.

Figured, "Why not!". Created alt: cabusha2

Mech from the survey: Atlas

Loved Atlas in CB and open beta. Since the Direwolf have pretty much left it parked. This is going to be painful. :-] I'll be running whatever trial assaults are there until I get enough cash to buy an Atlas.

Let's do this! *rips off shirt and begins oiling up*
