I assume you mean the clan invasion or the $500 gold mechs? That no one required you to buy. You can get any of those mechs now for C-Bills.

"How dare they provide themselves a steadier form of income to pay the people working on the game!"
"How dare they reward their supporters by allowing early access to new mechs!"
"How dare they actually try to make money!"
"I don't want to spend money but I demand features dammit!"
"QQ"

That's what people who cry cash grab sound like. If you don't like it, don't buy it. You act like they aren't actively working on features/improvements all the time.

You must have missed the post that said I really dont have a problem with the game and that I'm simply just keeping the hate alive. In all actuality I bought pretty much every pack. All top tier clan, resistance, and the like. I do this so everyone doesnt get too happy and complacent with all this.

YAY. Actual Lore. *gasp* and they even made mention of an Axeman! Good show and thanks for the great read! We could always use more of both.

I think it was a defunct chassis that was given new life based on stolen Clan info. But I don't believe it is a true omni, IS or otherwise.

Wasn't a fan of the mech back then and still not a fan. I guess the engines were low on whale milk again. Fix CW and quit throwing darts at a balance board blindfolded and we will talk money again.

It's one thing to pay $60-$90 for games that average $60-$90 in stores like EB Games and Small private stores, and where games on steam go for the same average or for half of what I mentioned on steam or GOG. I am alright paying for premium things that are practical and help speed the grind along or touch on my nostalgia(that' why I play the Orion and I might get the Bushwacker-because I haven't maxed out on that $90 spent on the game). Unlike this game I pay for 30-60$ things in War Thunder that speed the horrible grind these games have that don't have too much end reward(not really practical).
>>Poor people can't spend too much and can't spend on aesthetics.

But I play other games too I play for story and I wont put the money I will spend on a variety of games over the course of the 4 years into this limited arena shooter. It's a good game don't get me wrong and I keep coming back to it (and defended it as the original 'hero' MOBA on the Overwatch board on IGN) but it has issues in Faction Warfare that stem from the 2013 years. True I won my first 2 faction battles but the rest of the games I got beaten by clans daily. Was it that you paid $120 you insta-won? No, but it felt that way. You clanners I'm sure remember the forums on the Clan OP saga. The truth is that teamwork won the day but most people saying this were clanners. Until they were buyable via MC or C-bills it did not benefit the ordinary player. The Most Dogged Fans bought the packs, the Most Dogged Fans became clanners first and went to Terra and back again before Tukyyid and before newbies figured out the fundamentals of Faction play ie. get in a Unit to beat the clanners who are more unified into a Winner Clique in their purchase of said packs. But FW Faction Warfare is still not fixed, even though now there are now good IS units.

If you wanted to pay $500 for golden skins that is your decision, if you have the wads for it. If you are poor and did so I hope you managed your other money wiser because $500 for golden coats and other Aesthetic things does not elevate your situation in the real world. The US is the practical society and touts it to the world and most of the world follows. If it has practical benefit to pay PGI to pay for the little things and government oks it then if you want you can do it because it gives you some practical benefit (let's say even gratification) then a big thumbs up to you. It sounds like a scam and someone should've whistleblowed it the way people are ripping on No Man's Sky's $60 for an indie game.

For now back to the Orion.

[Initium Thoth]

I've been waiting for this one for some time. Thank you!
I kept it in as many NBT drop declarations as possible in various stages of MW4 play.

I just hope the BW comes with the option of the Light Engine

[MauttyKoray]

I got all excited and went to the Store to pre-order it...oh its not up for pre-order yet...sad.

Might have to jump ship and stow away back into the IS for this mech. Been one of my favorites and I still get one any time I play through MW4:Mercs.

I forgot about that cartoon. Having re watched the opening, I'd like to push for the creation of Elementals in MWO (insert evil laugh)

My suggestion is to set Elementals as a consumable... having them dismount and attack would certainly change up how the saddle fights go... 5 ersls and 20 rounds of SRMs per point...

Sounds fun. You could make the Elementals go in first to draw fire and then push right after.

Regarding the Bushwacker: Looks good from the side and true to the original, but the width... Really, make it wider and give it torso quirks. Or make it wider, but smaller overall. It was wide in all games before as well as in all of the art.

[Commander A9]

Okay...I may be a huge critic of PGI...but now they have my attention!

The Battletech TV show is what got me into Mechwarrior in the first place. I even use clips from the show as part of my soundboard. Anyone who drops with me can expect Nicolai Malthus to come onto comms and declare "Now switching to enhanced imaging!"

I've been hoping for this mech for awhile now, and I'm glad it's coming.

It stands a little too high though. Much like the Linebacker, its legs should be bent at a more sharp angle so it hugs the ground tighter.

Still...this is a good first notice. I am looking forward to this mech!

Especially if it comes with the fist starburst logo of the 1st Somerset Strikers...

And a warhorn that takes clips from the TV show...

Sarna says 'production year 3053'. Definatly i dont like it. But... now I can dream about MW4 Thanatos with 360 torso turn range, ecm and JJ

P.S. Will I like it? Definitely "No" because it's symbol of broken timeline. Will I buy it? Most likely "yes". Sad thing...

The Night Gyr is also released early... PGI has been playing things a bit loose with the release years... not that I mind, I'll take the Fire Falcon, Black Lanner, and Turkina A.S.A.P.

The Bushwacker is not an Omni, however there is a Omnimech version of the Bushwacker in the lore... the Gauntlet... circa 3128... we will have to wait a bit before this one gets a nod unless we get a 75 year bump in the timeline...

[Agent Cooper]

I loved playing this mech in MW4, it was so tough and could take tons of punishment. If that feature ends up in the game Im in.
