I'm assuming/hoping that they are referring to the special (S) versions that have special camo and 30% C-Bills boost. I don't think even they'd be stupid enough to not ever release C-Bill versions of these mechs.

No amount of stupidity would surprise me anymore.

Thank you for the MWO content guys!

Although, I'm REALLY hoping to see more MW5 pre-order bonuses pop up for my ultimate pre-order. Honestly, this story driven co-op experience is what my friends and I have been waiting for since MW4, and adding some MW5 content to the pre-order is what would actually sway them into pre-ordering it as well (they don't play MWO, so they didn't see the point).

I could go one, but I think it is fairly obvious that it is perfectly normal at this point to include 'future' variants. It means nothing. Never did.

Either that or they intend to shutdown the MWO servers and push people to MW5 before the CBill versions would normally be released.

ECM Marauder mjam Wut jj Whammy?
edit:

yea also wish there was a gog preorder instead of steam. Battletech was also avaible on gog. Now i need to mak a steam acount only for mw5 preorder. Not a fan of steam

At this point we have to be glad they don't go to that cancer that is the Epic Games Store. I would prefer a GoG version as well.

I like all of the Mechs. My favourite 3 chickenwalkers in interesting variants, one of them with a unique ECM... can't complain.

But even more gifts in addition to the already generous community thingy MW5 edition make me worry about MWO.

[PAQUERA]

wow PGI, ur making the preorder even better!!!!

TY!!!

[Monkey Lover]

Show us more of the game and i might buy it. Looks to me if i wait until few weeks i might as well just keep waiting until it hits a 75% off steam price.

PGI's only putting energy into hyping up people who've already paid for the game for some reason.

I interpret the situation as PGI announcing things like this to try to beef up the number of pre-orders.

Tin Foil Hats are only 54% effective. Tin Foil Suppositories are 72%. I'm not taking any chances.

[C337Skymaster]

Weird. I'm not seeing some of the quoted posts.

However, there isn't a 'mech in the game that's not eventually available in the in-game store for either MC or CBills. Special variants are released without any of their "specialness", but the hardpoints and stock configurations are released for CBills with the generic green pattern.

I can veritably guarantee that 4 months after in-game release, the 'mechs will be released for CBills. (Might be available for MC after 3 months).

Ditto. For C-Bills though

Now, is that just the (S) version? We all know clear communication isn't PGI's strong point.

From the FAQ

[Peter2k]

Moved on from MWO

Any idea on putting in some things into MW5 as an incentive to pre order?

Also frankly I'd be way more interested in the physical box you guys mocked up and love to show in the pics. (Not that I would be hopeful of receiving anything physical thanks to the licensing)

You don't need to have a steam account to pre-order mechwarrior 5.

While true, delivery of MW5 is with a steam key

So you can pre order it, but don't actually use it without Steam, at least for now.
Who knows for later, like after release, but for the "community edition" it's steam key only, at least according to the FAQ.

Also I fail to see how that matters really, Steam, GOG, Epic, shrugs
