Sort of on topic: Have they made an announcement about all the Classic IS Collection mechs that are coming out, or are they announcing them as they go? It's great to see them back in action, and I'm curious as to just how many of the Unseen are coming back.

Pretty sure they might be saving a four-set for a full mech pack, maybe. i do know people've been clamoring for the Phoenix Hawk, Crusader, Stinger, Wasp and Valkyrie.

prob is that you've gotta tip-toe gently there, since you're starting to edge into Veritech-bsed mech territory. Harmony Gold would LOVE a reason to sue.

I think we can safely say the Longbow shouldn't be too long in coming though (possibly as the assault for a four-mech pack too)

Alright now that this mech is out of the way, time to wait and see what the II-C wave 2 mechs are. I'll be happy if the JM6-IIC is up next... because you know... content before quality.

The Archer signals the end of 3050 era content that I really want right now. I care not for mechs that transform into F15s, but I like getting all these unseens with links to Wolf's Dragoons just in time for decals

Anyway, it'll let me close up the wallet for a while after spending a lot this year.

@M A S E: got a feeling we might actually not see a mech pack for a few months, just simply for the fact we've got all the classics coming out, and CW Phase 3 in the spring.

also, honestly, i'd say it's more likely we'd see Classic IIcs, like the Marauder IIc first. lot of clanners i've seen want that mech.

that 5W....MUST....RESIST....NEED...NEW...GRAPH...CARD...

Having just purchased and installed a new GTX 960, I can commiserate. My old GTX 550ti was turning into a puddle in the bottom of the case. In fact, I now believe it was the culprit behind MWO crashing to desktop every third match.

But, now that I can play again, and will soon have money, the Archer I may have to purchase!

[Lyoto Machida]

Ahh...yes. A previously Unseen LRM IS heavy. Definitely picking this one up...

Yeah, I'm in the camp that really wants to see the Veritch/Valkyrie types, but I know they're definitely the most difficult ones to come to any sort of agreement. I wouldn't even mind a heavy redesign that removes pretty much all fighter-jet aspects of them (and we can just assume those aspects were added for the LAM versions that will remain unseen for gameplay reasons as much as anything else), and just keep the humanoid light mech that either carries its weapon or has hardpoints that retain a similar look. Here's hoping we get some of them in the future, but I'm also pretty happy with the ones we've managed to get.

An Archer what sports exactly the cockpit what a Marauder should have (instead of the classic Archer cockpit on the top of CT)? Weird.

Anyways, as much as I still brake down in tears anytime I think about how cruel they ***** my fav Mech (Marauder) by any means with that terrible design, I have to say that I definietly appreciate this Archer. It's just simply cool. I need one I guess.

The 750ti will allow you to run most settings on high if you are looking for a budget card, they go for about $115?
I just got a GTX 970... It is godly. I don't have any games that even stress it.
The GTX 960 is a good option too, don't get the 2GB version though it's been discontinued. Get the 4GB version.

What's so terrible about it?

Seriously PGI? :-D "*******" is a inappropiate word? What if I try to talk about *******.seed (this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapeseed) ?

This unreasonably strict moderation sound like some girls' school from the 19th century.
Anyway.. funny :-)

I am looking at R9 270x or R7 370 nitro OC 4GB DDR5(probably this one tho) or any NVidia graph card in same price tag...dicisions decisions

About the Marauder? Like everything.

But mainly:
Silly cockpit. The closed cockpit on the front of CT (something what Archer has now) was the trademark of Marauder.
The build supposed to be more slim and not like some baby-King Crab.
The hip supposed to join at the back of CT so it shouldn't have some weird "hump" on its back.
And the animation is terrible. It supposed to move much like an EBJ or TBR and not like some hip-shot hen.

I know it has to differ and I have nothing wrong with redesigns (TDRs and CATs are very good) but this is..

Like watch this (original MDR):

I believe the 960 hovers around the $200 - $240 price range. I don't really look at AMD stuff so I don't know what your price range is; I've always used nvidia and intel. They just work.

File not found. And it is slim from the front which makes it a great sniper. It's actually easier to hit than an awesome from the side though...
