No more modules as part of the bundle? /sob Not sure that's a grand idea, PGI. Those modules were a major influencer for pre-orders from my standpoint.

*** Having said that, all the Mechs in the bundle come with an XL 275 engine and double heat-sinks already as upgrades. Half of them have endo-steel and the other half have ferro... so that may have factored into the bundle offer. ***

Just being fair and open-minded.

Going to buy this.

You know why?

Because I like having fun and buying stuff I like as opposed to whining or complaining or being "triggered" anymore.

It'll be fun, looks like a fun LRM boat, or brawler.

Right. Marauder IIC gets a fourth Mech with preorder and this one not even a module. No need for decals...

[John Stryker]

Tbh the main reason I bought the previous mechs was for the 6,500,000 cbills, modules, prem time and camo set that came along with the early adopt. Without them, I can wait.

[TercieI]

Wow. That's a whole lot of meh.

It's like a Crab, but with ballistics and missiles?

Sold!

[SilentWolff]

Man those pre order rewards are trash. Mech hardpoints are underwhelming as well and with no quirk info, I'll pass. What a disappointment.

nice, a couple of plain jane decals, that's the reward? an XL engine it better have tiny torsi.
good hunting

[jper4]

might get the standard pack.

maybe reinforcement since that + std pack is 1 more mech for $5 less than collectors pack alone.

nice to see a non mostly energy only medium though- it's the anti-crab.

I guess nostalgia sells itself. Man talk about brash. Not a credit not a module just cheep camo and a Dekkel.

I also would prefer one of the top-level modules like Seismic Sensor or Radar Deprivation over a decal or two, though I'm still considering buying the pack.

... "brash," for seeing if we want decals as much as we like modules? Get over yourself.

Irony is misspelling "cheap" in the same sentence you poke fun at a typo for "decal" (and misspell the typo, too.)

PS: I don't know what you mean by "credit," but you still get the 6.5million c-bills the other packs offered - except for the Marauder IIC, which offered a brace of decals instead. I must have missed your clever saltiness on the announcement tread for that one.

[Nick Flurry]

so on a Pre-Order I'm losing 4 modules for 2 decals...that seems pretty backward to me. I'm thinking that's going to kill some serious incentive to pre-order unless modules are on the way out and the jokes on us.

Atleast you get 275 XL engine on all variants

Glad that the Bushwhacker is finally here. Now can I have my Devastator?

I was considering purchasing the Bushwhacker, but then saw that PGI nerfed the pre-order rewards down to C-bills and "deckles." I don't really feel like paying for something useless like a "deckle," or something I can grind out in a handful of matches like C-bills. I miss the cool stuff like modules.

Nice looking Mech though. I'll drop C-bills on it once it's out for free, but PGI can't get me to open my purse strings this time around. I doubt I'll be opening them again anyways until I see some better in-game content for CW and ED.

Honestly, the decals that are in the early adopter rewards should already be included in the Collector Edition 'Mech pack. They just fit with its name.
IMO it needs better early adopter rewards. But, regardless, I still like the look of the 'mech.

A better proverb for one less full of themselves would be "one man's trash is another man's treasure." Being snide to someone who likes something you think is bad doesn't reveal your intellect - it demonstrates your narcissism.

[Chimera_]

Looks like good value, all come with XL engines and DHS. Not bad on the hardpoints either, though it's not really breaking new ground. Dual 10s, dual ML might be fun on the X2.

BSW was a favorite mech of mine from MW4 (and MW3, though it kinda sucked there) so I'm probably going to pre-order this at some point.
