Night Gyr getting a new camo that is just Russ's face overlayed repeatedly on it at random.

I'd buy it if it had the option to replace his face with Nicholas Cage.

Player made unit decals! Must be approved by PGI of course.

This might seriously be what it is, since in another thread, Tina and Paul were working on getting the logos of the WC teams to be used as decals.
I wouldn't be surprised if they plan on expanding the functionality to the entire game. Would be another source of income for PGI since units would have to spend MC to submit their logos.

I'll bet its a gold urban mech deputy dog cockpit item complete with flashing lights and a police siren war horn free to any one who bought a mech pack that costs $70. ohhh yeeaahh!

Clan mastery packs, like the IS mastery packs? Why did they never do this one anyway?

The same reason they aren't smart enough to offer 3-packs of every mech chassis type in the game for $20 each. No idea why. Some chassis you can get that way. Others can only be purchased as part of expensive packages that usually contain mechs you don't want. Still others can only be bought as part of mastery packs that may or may not contain extra mechs you don't want.

This change - $20 for 3 mechs of any chassis - would help sales, but perhaps they aren't sure how to recode selling the old mechs that are stuck in complicated packages?

As for the announcement, I assume it is Energy Draw related, and it will probably somehow end up disappointing.

Singleplayer, small mission arc.

[Tibbnak]

Content announcement is that Russ switched to Jack Daniels and might accidentally solo drop a few times in tier 5.

[Nemesis Duck]

Paul's moving on?

[Tibbnak]

Maybe they're finally adding an 8vs8 que.

[Valkyrie73]

A proper assault mode with a base with walls and turrets and AI vehicles etc

[Boson Higgs]

Female Mechs with t*ts.

[BearFlag]

They've negotiated permission from Vanna White to use her likeness in spinning the Supply Cache wheel.

I've heard through the grapevine, they're also working with the owners of the gameshow Jepardy! to use the "Think" music for FW queues.

Bit late to the party, but I have the answer;

"PGI proudly announces that they have engaged into a partnership with IGP".

[Jingseng]

clan elementals! (actually just an even smaller ACH with only a streak srm2 and er sml laser).

Anyhoo, if it's a small content i'd toss out clan heroes, weapons, and anything involving adding new mechanics or features (like tanks, infantry, new game modes etc.). All that would require extensive testing.

More likely I think it would be a revamp of maps (or possibly moving FP maps into QP, or vice versa)... adding the daylight and weather cycle to more maps/FW.

Possibly the ability to buy random supply caches?

maybe previews of October loyalty rewards... or pre announcement of a large October event (Huntsman, patch, and loyalty rewards are all on the same day... I feel like there will be a large bounty event for that).

Revamp of event challenges in the future?

[cazidin]

...What if the big announcement is Transverse 2?

[MechaBattler]

knock downs sound like it could fit the bill. Small content. Unanticipated.

Or just hit collision.

[RestosIII]

All jokes aside, the best thing I could see coming out of this is rear view cameras/HTAL. Please PGI, give us the basic necessities.

[CycKath]
