Oh, btw:
War Thunder ST-1 Walking Tank Gameplay (2015 April Fool's Event)

Mechwarrior 2: how to unlock 2 new mech!
-> for the new mechs (including Tarantula) jump to 45 seconds.
No gameplay shown, unfortunately, as the uploader thought the Battlemaster IIC was more interesting.

No need for the e&xtended um. Especially when you're wrong.

They produce more than one game. One of which is "Duke Nukem Forever" which is far more popular than you were in Highschool, or could ever have hoped to be. That, along with their other titles, of which they have eight all on multiple platforms with better income than what MWOnline generates. That's not even half the story, the other half goes with sponsorships, promotions, tournaments, etc.

So no you do not pay his salary, be lucky he updates the game at all for all the crap this community talks.


PGI making DNF makes a lot of sense. To paraphrase a review, "The shooting is fun, everything else is terrible ". You call me derisive, but you're the one reminding everyone that PGI made a legendary **** of a game. That's pretty low man. Just let it go. :)

I'i didn't realize they have 8 current income creating titles. Guess no more "small company" excuses.

Why quads?

Beasts like the Scorpion have incredibly high engine caps for a 55 tonner, giving them tremendous agility on top of the already superior quad stability bonuses. They're low to the ground, capable of circling any target with ease, and make more of given cover than any biped will, and of course are capable of high-speed lateral (strafing) movement bipeds cannot achieve.

PGI didn't make most of DNF. just helped with a couple of ports and multiplayer alongside Gearbox. Smith and Tinker's people did most of the core work on MWO, for that matter- part of why the coding is mostly lostech to PGI.

Wouldn't mind armor and VTOLs, but you're never going to see aerospace fighters in MWO. It can't handle high-speed units as it stands, and won't even be able to handle faster hover units and VTOLs as a result.

If people can't see the obvious advatanges a fast, strafing, hull down quad mech would have, you're either terrible at the game, or simply blind to the truth. I'm not really that much of a quad fan, but if you think they would suck, you're deluding yourselves.

Plus, a quad mech would actual be fresh and new game content.

I have 3 UrbanMechs and they have been a chore to level.


I regularly pull 500+ damage in my urbanmechs, with a few 900+ games and they have been a blast. Perhaps you are building / playing them wrong?

I don't remember it, even though I played MW2 to death over many years.

We need those AND quads.

Actually I am kidding. I think quads would be great down the road when a lot of other way more important stuff is already in.

Undoubtedly. Which UbranMech and with what loadout do you recommend? I've been using dual Large Pulse for the most part.

Well, those few arguing in favor of Quad'Mechs might probably not be enough to justify pouring resources into it. Same with legacy servers.

There is no way you can say "Well someone made something different so you can't critique this."

PIG didn't actually make DNE, though. It's a testament to the companies that hired them as to what kind of quality they expected- and got.

UM-R60L

The cheesiest of Urbie builds, 300-400 damage is a breeze to get in this mech. Dont forget Coolshot, LPL range & cooldown modules. Although something more aesthetically pleasing and true to lore like UM-R63 is also fun to run, but getting high numbers with it can be more difficult simply due to the nature of ballistics.
