PRE-ORDER MW5 MERCS

[Scout Derek]

[Tesunie]

Q: If you already preordered (with the Marauder II), do you also qualify for these bonuses as well?

Edit: Yes. Apparently you do. Revisit the MW5 site and log back in. You will find it as one of the redeem codes.

The Catapult would've been better with 4B + 2M rather than 2B + 4M.

Or honestly just go all the way to eight hardpoints instead of just six, because not having any energy hardpoints is quite a weakness to have and the Catapult in general has been usurped by many power creep mechs. 6B + 2M would've allowed you to take MRM60 with 6 MGs.

A side note is that I referenced this Cat variant in a thread speculating about what the 2019 loyalty mechs would be. Funny how that one came true, though not in the way I expected.

Nice, can already see what builds i'll be running on these.

[Steel Raven]

I really dig the Camo pattern

Agreed, what we needed:

[Pain G0D]

3 of those four mechs are my favorites.....

That and everything else you guys offered ...

I guess I am sold .

[Yllirion]

Cataput C2 - Dark age, after Jihad
Warhammer 9D - 3067 (Jihad)
Marauder 9M - 3068 (Jihad)
Hmmm...

[Chiasson Brinker]

I’m never going to thumb my nose at another Marauder, and I’ve always wanted a King Crab.

This is cool, thank you for this.

[SuperMCDad]

I'd love it if they could at least give us a best guess of what the minimum PC specs will look like for Mercs. Would like to support them, but I'm not going to throw money at it when I don't know whether my PC will even run it.

Weapon hardpoints only get added to locations that contain weapons in stock form. The CPLT-C2 does not contain any CT weaponry, therefore it would not have any ballistic hardpoints in the CT. They would be all in the side torsos.

[Alcom Isst]

Gosh I love the way these mechs were rendered. I wish the rest of MWO looked like this and not polygonal vomit we have now. C^ryengine?

I'm pretty sure he's trying to suggest that PGI might be relaxing the timeline restrictions a little bit.

[pacifica812]

So... you get the Marauder 2 plus these new mechs, or just the new mechs?

Pretty sure you get all of it.
