I kinda want it to be a Linebacker but even if it is by some miracle the perfect mech for me (Firebee) i will still not be excited enough to come back to actually play MWO like a maniac as i used to.
Nowadays i just look for something like news about Solaris or that mechanic that Russ said would stop us from constantly firing Alpha's.

It's extremely unlikely but unless this is some kind of announcement for Solaris in the next patch i won't even twitch an eyebrow in excitement.
That's me anyways. Good luck guys. Hope your prayers for your favorite mech comes true.

maybe the omen?

Guys...... guys........ We all hate PGI's financial strategy and their willingness presnt the most bare, minimum viable product and act as Battle Tech's slumlord style landlord. We get it.

Can we put that aside for a bit so that we can focus on putting the pieces together?

A gold name was logged in here and was maybe going to post but some troll with no self respect has to post this. I got a few choice words for this kind of thing and if this wasn't a polite forum on the computer, you would hear them.

Yes, there is. There are previous games that explicitly did content just like that (Age of Empires Online), where the main content was effectively similar in what is being sold here.

When you have Founders literally saying that we're playing the same game "more or less" than what we did in Beta, it's not just a random statement. Sure there are more maps, mechs, and "gamemodes" (including metas) since then, but we're coming back to the same thing - what is there to really do in this game beyond killing mechs?

In CW/FW Phase 2, Clan Wolf Mercstar won every space around Terra. Great, what next? Uh? I don't think the IS cared as much as the victors. What was the point of all this fighting again?

I mean, sure, the money can continue rolling in (I don't have the #s, so I can't pretend to know), but there's a certain point where eventually it's not going to "just work". You don't need a public outcry like the Minimap disaster to see how fragile things can be. If you truly think this is sustainable like the alternatives that at least attempt to show they are trying AND not resting on their laurel... then I don't know what to tell you.

If you think trying to convince other people to come play this game is easy... you must be the greatest marketer ever. I can easily see why other games are popular (with their warts and all), but trying to sell FW to the masses... with a FW promo that is not even remotely accurate to what we actually deal with?

I dunno... the people will decide. Not you, not me... it's everyone that decides to actually play this game and in the end, PGI is still ultimately responsible for what went right... just as much as what went wrong.

I didn't say you didn't have a reason. heh.

And of course PGI decide, but for what reasons we complain for should be reasonable. you and TK displayed so after explaining your points.

Whatever guys, keep on arguing about business strategies or whatever you're talking about.

I'm off to get some sleep.

[Moonlight Grimoire]

Yeah that looks like the Linebacker, hopefully it gets a bit more squat since it is more or less an overgrown nova which means it needs all the frontal profile love it can get. I honestly expected the Linebacker as the Nova Cat was too much like the Night Gyr to be put out with the Night Gyr. But, hey, it is basically a 65 ton storm crow with less torso to shoot that goes 97kph before speed tweak. But, I guess not being a brick (Hellbringer) or all side torso (Mad dog) is a bad thing? Whatever the case, more options for clans to drop with, gives them a speedy missile-laser spam machine to work with to go with their slow Night Gyr.

[Felicitatem Parco]

What are you talking about? Russ pic is 2 linebacker feet.

Yup it's the feet... My mistake, well I guess I was just too hopeful again.

I really do need to unfollow all of mechwarrior and not come back. I'm tired of this.

Hey, don't get so down on yourself, you just need a breather.

That's not an Overlord dropship is it. I was wrong again.

Just to play devil's advocate?

Could also be the Black Python battlemech. CT looks like it might have a bubble canopy

Just saying. Also the end of the arm looks more like funky finger than weapon pods.



not saying it is, but Russ never specifically stated we would be getting 4 Omnimechs, either.

Sadly we know it is to be another Clan Heavy Omnimech, which the Linebacker fits perfectly for (and that silhouette matches) and unlike the Nova Cat isn't visually and role wise an exact match of the Night Gyr. Though a Black Python battlemech would be fun to me.

[Max Von Lakes]

the legs to torso looks a little..odd..
I mean, Torso appears to be facing left, rear to the right, but....
the legs, feet especially, look (to me at least) to be facing right, with the "heel" to the left.

Balance, as the silhouette stands would be pretty difficult, as it looks like the longer "toes" are behind it...idk, guess we'll find out soon enough

Thing is...we don't.

That is two separate conversations that the forums have combined. He said he had 4 Omnimechs in timeline still worth doing..but that they wouldn't fit a package.

It could very well be the Linebacker. But it's "not a guarantee" that we are lookign at an Omni.

So the hands are kinda remind me of a Dire Wolf's but at a 45 degree angle....

maybe it has special "scatter laser" fists that fire in 5 directions at once!

[cazidin]

What if we have it upside down?

[DAYLEET]

We really dont need new mech being teased. New mech is all you do, theres nothing surprising or exciting about new mech. They are not content. Just tell us already what will be the next 500battlemech already.

Procurator Derek, on 06 July 2016 - 12:20 PM, said:

Once people stop paying regularly for those, where does the money come from, where?

Unless you want this to be another CoD or Halo game where DLC like maps you have to pay for.

They will finaly have to make a game? Maybe id pay for a complete Battletech Mechwarrior game that uses the mech i already have, maybe.
