Rather than spend money, I will happily spend ammo. Blowing this blasphemous sin to pieces.

As a fan who grew up playing MW3 and MW4, I am seriously hyped for the Bushwhacker!

Up until now, I have only bought MC and waited patiently for 'mechs to reach c-bill release.


Not this time.

Hmm...when you "save page as," it saves the completed picture...

Hmm...well...Bushwacker. Good mech. This should be interesting.

NO BAD. We need Light mechs, not more derpy Mediums who can't decide on whether or not they are a Medium or a Heavy.

Meh, actually a very overrated mech, driven by nostalgia. But nostalgia sells mech packs, so GG, PGI, GG.

That said, "save page as"...on which post?

Don't hold your breath. Despite PGI trying to Paper/Rock/Scissors our Gundams, perceived value of Lights simply are not high enough (especially among Tryhards, post re-scale) to justify their continued addition. This lack of value is further reinforced by the MC and Cbill pricing of mechs in MWO which put ascribe a minimal value to Lights.

One "obvious" solution would be to "package" Lights together, like the "Stinger/Wasp Wondertwins Pack" many have promoted. This overlooks the reality though that whether Light Mech or Assault, it takes PGIs artists and Modelers the same amount of time to bring any class of Mech to life... and as such they would be reaping half profits to do a Multi-Pack, unless 90% or so of art assets were shared. Thus, also, a non starter.

Light Mechs, in the current market, are about as viable as Faction Warfare.

Well my wallet s closed for another month.


If you guys that are supposed to be fans of it, can't see a Bushwhacker then you ain't that big a fan of it

You must be a fun individual at parties.

I'm HAVING FUN!!!

[dervishx5]

I played 5 games for the first time since the Kodiak came out on my ****** laptop that can only get 15-20 FPS on the lowest customizable settings.

And I came in 1st-3rd on my team every time.

I... don't really miss this game. But I would miss these forums.

[Juodas Varnas]

It's ugly, probably going to have a massive CT and has a wide spread of Jack of all trades hardpoints.

I would've rather had a Vulcan.
But you know...

Getting a Bushwacker is a one step closer to getting the Barghest, which being a quadruped, is one step closer to getting a Scorpion!

I would be happy with a Wasp, Stinger, Valkrie and Crusader jumbo pack. Heck resize and modify some geometry and I am good. Show me the person that is taking the money and I'm in. Rather have a Spector but as long as they shoehorn a light or two in there I got some money waiting to find a good home.

Bushtastic Fanwackstic is gonna suck, probably be completely underwhelming and mediocre at heart ... but it's an IS chicken-walker, so I'll have it.

Also, I really enjoy playing my Wolfhounds even though they're the very definition of mediocrity. Regularly score 600-700+ on the WLF-2. But then again my favourite MAD is the 5D which a lot of people say is the worst, and yet I pull 1k+ games in it, whereas I can't succumb to the boring-a*s PPC/AC thingamajig so my opinion can probably be safely ignored.

Also here's a Bushie (I guess that's what we'll call it) that Shunuke drew a while ago.
I would expect something like this considering the art and orthos.

Here's a link to his DA page.

The Griffin already exists.

You mean the mech that's disarmed completely (on most variants) by a single alpha to the RT or particularly the right arm?
