MechWarrior Online: Civil War Game Update Details!

[Wronka]

First, BALLIN! Now to go back to read the post, LOL.

Edit:
Okay, read it.
Well now it all makes sense. I felt like PGI had been completely ignoring IS mechs and their short-comings. Then they said they were removing all specific weapon quirks with the new skill tree system which completely stumped me. But now I get it... this new tech should help so much. The light FF, and Light Engine alone is a huge help. We'll see how it all actually plays out.

Looking forward to it and the new mechs!

definitely worthwhile to take time to account for these weapons in the skill tree. just the light fusion engine alone will revolutionize the IS side of the game.. and MRM 40.... God, thank you for the missile shenanigans this is going to cause...

[Sixpack]

Needs more HAG.

[W31rdWarrior]

That tech <3
IS LB-X and Ultra, LAMS, Heavy Lasers and the most important one Light Fusion Engine (my Atlases are ready)! Soo good
But I miss the Machine Gun array and the X-Pulse Lasers

great news MWO this is the best update on years in my opinion, exept for those clan players firing tears, this will help to balance the battlefield

Good, glad to see the new tech. Light FF and Light engines will relieve much of what IS players have complained about Clans being OP in comparison.

As someone who plays both, I thought the balance was pretty decent, but maybe this will let them unnerf the Clan DHS some without breaking balance.

Too bad the ECM Cougar is behind the reinforcements paywall.

Still waiting to see more progress on the skill trees before putting in any more cash into the game right now though. Please don't be dead.

So the IS gets all the normal, cooler lasers and now ALL the ER variants. Leaving the clans with just the new heavy variety which are too hot regardless(ER PPCs will laugh at the Heavy Larges heat). The IS gets all the good AC's and now all the Ultra variants and Rotary. Clans get same ****** UAC's... There is too much PPC/Guass boating so guess what THREE new PPCs and TWO new guass. Yeah, that'll fix the meta. Oh yeah, ALL IS weapons. Clans get the ATM, good thing PGI learned how to code multipe ammo types.. oh wait no. They didnt. So are they streaks, lrms, srms?? Probably just SRMS with more dmg... But that's alright, the clans get new armour types... nope wait... IS.... Oh i forgot, game is now balanced 'cause both sides get the same machine guns....

Outside of Mech 2 Mercs, this was the only 3050 game and it was neat to have some asymmetry. Guess not anymore.

[littlebulb1]

I am so HYPED up for this!

EDIT: Just saw the MAD CAT MKII ! First pre-order i'm getting just for this mech. I was shocked seeing the beauty.

I came running to the forum to see the Clan Salt Mines. Innersphere basically will get the Technology the clans have been using this whole time and people are complaining that the field is being leveled ?
