Mounts looks super nice, but like the Nova Cat, this thing's been in the gym a bit. You even lift bruh?

I liked the MW4 variant, but it was just meh compared to other mechs like the argos.

Speaking of which... *boots MW4*

Looks like it will be easy to shield the CT however your going to lose those side torsos quickly I think. Going to be interesting to see how it does come the 14th. Hope it is at least decent enough to want to play fairly often.5

I am concerned it will be very susceptible to headshots.

How often do you headshot a Hellbringer or Summoner? Valid thought tho.

Okay so I haven't really been interested in the Thanatos, but that's beautiful looking.

The hitboxes might not be too bad if it's not too large/tall. The thing is basically a walking brick with rather thick legs, so hopfully the volume calculations worked in its favor.

The model and skin look really well done at the very least. I wish more mechs had textures that nice

Looks awesome, mounts look good. Gonna suffer from Archer issues on the STs, but at least it doesn't sit the pilot at crotch level.

the head hitboxes are all the same size. most of the time the mechs with a large spaces of cockpitglass make it harder to detect the actual hitbox and do a headshot.

Agreed, except the Marauder IIC which is actually quite prone to being headshot.

The lower set of ST energy mounts are a tad too low for my taste, but it can be worked into a decent jump capable snipe mech.

They are not the same. MAD-IIC for example, is very easy to headshot. Orion-IIC on the other hand, pretty much takes aimbot to headshot successfully, in combat.

Nova Cat legs. I think MWO can handle only 2 leg joints (Cataphract/ Warhammer). 3 is a problem (Uziel/ Nova Cat). But we will see...

So are those side torso energy mounts that are built into the model concept art not going to be used as side torso energy mounts, and have laser cubes tacked on higher instead while the original mounts are still visible?

Food for thought.
We are a full week before Than's release yet we get a teaser, akin to Bushies.
That hasn't been happening a whole lot as of late.
Sales?
