Look at all the whining and even people threatening to turncoat. So this is how the Clan side acts when the shoe is on the other foot?

We don't even know the specifics yet for any of this equipment. After all the damn time the IS had to eat shet for the IS XL being flatout inferior to the Clan XL. The LFE is still inferior at that! But go ahead, throw your tantrums because you only get a few shinies.

I'm just gonna sit back and imagine the possibilities.

All I am seeing are typical Clan Wolf badder tears. Git gud scrub. You've had it so easy for so long you don't know what to do with yourselves.

So I state that the IS gets 5 PPCs and 3 guass and that it won't help the balance.. and your response is "get gud scrub". Huh, you must write for Russ then. Did you tell him to make the whales to stop crying as well?

Nope - Mechwarrior 2 Mercs - I have it sitting right in front of me as I type

I own both, the Uziel and Thanatos were NOT in Mechwarrior 2 anything, trust me. I still play the MW 2 games on my old comp every couple of years.

Very excited for this. Its going to bring a whole new dimension to the game. As well as the skill tree.

If you play the Annilator you just know your gonna get the big maps with long sightlines every time. A lot of firepower but not much speed and armour. An ambusher, the only other ambusher Mech in the game is the Urbie. Would be nice to see the stats for the weapons as they are going to be in MWO. If Heavy PPC does 15 damage then I suggest they no longer nerf the Clan ER-PPC and have it do 15 damage.
Now just get rid of ghost heat and set the heat limit to 30 and we have a good game.

Now I understand why they want to push new skill tree before this is released... no need to create new modules for all tis new material.

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.

Javelin + Rocket Launchers = free hugs!

They could Just make a Range module and a Cooldown module and make them generic so they work on anything. o.O

Okay but...what are you going to do to the map.

There's no Federated Commonwealth to have a civil war with.

[Cervantes88]

I don't get why people are crying so much over faction bias. Since when has faction warfare been relevant in this game ?

[Itachi The Prodigy]

And with all the Good IS tech clan will still be op ...... with exception of dem rotary Ac2's and Ac5's
and MRM 40's......... dam russ u COULD have thrown in dem streak LRM 20's ITS IN THE CIVIL WAR TIMELINE!!! PREJUDICE!!!

You already HAVE most of what the IS is getting.

Not to mention the tech IS is getting is still inferior to the Clans'...

[MechaBattler]

Whoa whoa! Where are the LACs? You're gonna give us RACs, Heavy Gauss, heavy PPC madness? But you draw the line on light ACs!? It's not like we can boat the AC5s any harder than we already are! Especially considering what the other added weapons are capable. LACs seem like they would have made the most down to earth additions. And they pay for their weight reduction in shorter range.

I can see it now: Annies and Maulers with: 1 or 2 AC/5, 1 RAC/5 and 1 UAC/5, or mixture of both RAC and UAC/5's

You mean MW4 Mercs. MW2 Mercs had none of that.

The Mechs are not my cup of tea, but they were requested by many, so it is good we got them.

Most of the new tech is meh, so I do not care too much about the Spheroides getting the new toys. Maybe LFE stops the whining about Clan XL. But I am still curious to see if the IS Ultras become burst weapons now and MRMs fire in lines like Clan LRMs.

MW2:M had the Annihilator.

Uziel, Cougar and Mad Cat MKII were "invented" for MW4.

[Redwo1f]

While its great to see new weapons , I am a little nervous of all the balancing required and PGI's track record hasn't been wonderful...maybe fewer might have been the way to go?
