Wow a rare mechbay prize . Those are always welcome .

[BrunoSSace]

Shame I couldn't pre order this. I really want the Warhammer. Just $70 in one hit is a lot to ask. Oh well I have heaps of mechs anyways.

5 UAV Kills? That's always the most irritating part of these events - so many players, so little UAVs.

They're like mosquitos at the moment. I got 4 in a single match, after getting the event in 2 matches already. Having a BAP helps, but it's fairly predictable where people will drop them. Any map with a tight NASCAR spot will tend to have a fairly constant stream of them. Domination tends to get a lot as well.

So how many more MW5 countdown events?
Let’s see, 4 more months before MW5 gets released in Pre Alpha Gamma Beta Zinga stage.. so that means a non arbitrary 19 (at least) more events to drive home to the player base that they should totally throw real money at PGI.

Upcoming possible events
1. Landscape Floaty Madness Time!
2. Stock Mode 30XX Ultra Mode Super
3. All your paper mache base buildings is ours
4. LrmMW5ageddon
5. RTX Bandwagon Race

Potential rewards:
A bloody sock
half eaten banana
expired Canadian beer
a 1/10’ scale resin cast of Paul Inuoye’s knocked-down Dragon
Anthem the game
pocket lint
pocket change
Ticket to Fyre festival
Axe body spray ‘Cocoa Mandingus Mint’

Better be careful of what you wish for. They may throw you a bass fishing game as a prize.

I don't know how other players do UAV kills "easy"... Tried everything but still got 0 of those... Run into and pop up UAV? Tested. 0 kills. Hide and try to scout? Tested. UAV locked damage - yes, UAV kills - no...

The event requires shooting down ENEMY uavs. Which is rather easy if you have medium range energy or ballistic weapons (noot LBX though). 1 standard gauss shot f.e. is enough.

Still not pre ordering...

I think at this point they are no longer trying to gain more pre-orders but rather trying to maintain morale of those that have pre-ordered. Boredom leads to frustration in the video game world. To me it makes sense. The people that have not pre-ordered are not going to because whats the point? We lost out on all those preorder rewards. The plan is now to keep the people who are going to play the alpha and on day 1 happy and they will be more likely to leave positive reviews and bring in the cautious people.

I did a tiny amount of searching and didn't find the answer to my question - is it possible to gift a mw5 preorder to someone else?

From what I was reading on the FAQ your just getting a steam key to redeem , so you would just need to give the someone else that, the better question is if you can redeem more than one copy per account here (and thus get more steam keys for such usage.) Dosnt really help with any pre order content on MWO side but....small detail if your just wanting to co-op MW5 with a friend.

That's right, that's a much better explanation of my question. Thanks!

funny you mention that, given most people have an easier time hitting UAVs with LBXs (they were meant as an AA weapon, after all)

We have seen the first game that is full of bugs, has awful UI and totally ignored fun-base (who paid money btw).
Why the second game should be different?

That is 100% correct.

[Steel Raven]

Been fun event so far, may actually be able to finish it with my stupid work schedual.

Strange luck is I only been able to shoot down one UAV, they always pop right above my mech during the fight.

same reason LBXs work... quantity has a quality all its own when firing at small targets
