No more money while gamemodes are mob-rule. I already passed on the Warhammer. Will be requesting $65 refund on Marauder and $80 Origins pack before they are released.

Nice addition... can't wait for the next Unseen, the Archer.

[xWiredx]

Pretty sweet that it's finally making its way into the game but... I have Jagermechs. I'm going to need one heck of a sales pitch.

[Juodas Varnas]

I'm still waiting for my Scorpion.
And I know. I'll be waiting forever.

Where is my Phoenix Hawk???

C-bill Rifleman for me

Legend Killer Custom Skin is extremely compelling.

Hard Points are not unexpected.

But similarity to Jager shall result in it being a niche acquisition, with no significant change in playstyle from the latter.

I am looking forward to the Crusader and Archer.

But in the balance of things. I dont think I want to have ANOTHER Heavy

I don't have any Jagers so...

Also likely to have better sensors (at least if they move ahead with PTS concepts) and different quirks. Could end up being better, who knows.

Also, you could make a similar argument with the Catapult and Archer. If the Archer keeps the waist level cockpit, I expect a lot of unhappiness on the forums. Might need an Archer due to my Wolf's Dragoons allegiance.

THAT HERO MECH IS AWESOME!!!! May we please have more designs like this, because this is exactly what we need for the steam release to keep the younger players (me and my friends can confirm this). It reminds me alot of some of the wicked designs you can find in first person shooters like CS:GO, BLR etc.

Good job guys, I'm about to order this thing right now!

[martian]

I bet that this new Rifleman is going to be added in HBS' BattleTech game eventually, as one of those "two classic BattleMechs".

[Varvar86]

Where is our new game content updates? There is nothing to do with those new mechs until as minimum - rebalance is done, CW is fixed properly and game modes fixed to not be skirmish only.
NOPE!

Just waiting on a certain LRMey 70 ton unseen mech...........

Copy/Pasting this post from the duplicate Rifleman thread that is out there:

Looks sweet. I almost perfectly called it, again, either that or they took my feedback post seriously. I love the variety we're seeing in these iconic returns.

They took the 5D instead of the 4D I recommended as a base variant . . . but the 5D was the 4th "extra" variant I suggested and the hardpoint suggestions are almost exactly the same. That's perfectly fine by me, as it's just a more updated version of the previous variant. Nothing wrong with having a 3050 variant in there; and I should have expected as much since there's just about always one 3050 variant in every chassis lineup.

Man, I want Flamers fixed so badly so I can throw money at this (even if it's only on the Rebalance Servers, so I know it's coming). The Rifleman is one of the classics I really wanted to see remade, and it looks great. I really want it badly.

These look so great. PGI is really challenging my convictions hard on this, but the Rebalance PTS Phases have been doing good things. I may purchase this on good faith because of what the Rebalance has been accomplishing so far. I'll have to think on it. I want my Flamer fixes, and convictions say no purchase until I know Flamers are going to be fixed. What a quandary.

EDIT: WOW! That is a FIRST! I just noticed the Rifleman LK Hero has energy hardpoints listed in the arms, but it has no stock energy weapons there. Is that a mistake, or are we really seeing the first chassis to come out with weapon hardpoints where there were no weapons before?!? EDIT of EDIT: Looks like the original loadout of the hero was modified and now has an LBX-10 and LL in each arm instead of a pair of AC/5s. I'm not complaining. I like that new loadout a lot. So, any chance we can get a second AMS hardpoint on one of them? Maybe the 3N? Please?

don't see myself buying any mech pack until they add unique geometry back.

There just isn't that value, uniqueness and collectability anymore. In fact, these spaced out packs cost more

I like it, but this is sadly going to be the first of the HG-Unseens that I'll have to pass on. The Archer I'll be forced to pick up, but the Rifleman just isn't quite enough to overcome my other financial obligations.

[DAYLEET]

Legend Killer is as cool a name as TopDog, i hope the next hero is called Redrum or something similarly unimaginative.

Legend-Killer is canon, Top Dog they just made up.

Nerf canon!

Excellent. Looking forward to the Archer, and then the lights and mediums of the old classics.

[Carchemish]

For those who won't buy until some game content conditions are met, I totally understand your position. Having said that...this is how they make money! Money used to pay their programmers' salaries! This is what gives them the resources to build new content, and I for one will throw a few bucks into the pool to see that happen.

All the best,
