Maybe it's just me, but that post has a very ominous wording to it. I've read lots of corporate announcements over the years....thats the kind you see before everyone gets let go. Hope I am wrong.

I had absolutely the same impression. The wording is very disturbing.

On the bright side, i doubt PGI wants any bad news before MW5 launch, and right after the CW update for MWO.

UPD: From Russ' twitter:

Much more positive wording.

I think it will be an after patch hype, to return retired players.

Why the hell do people still want that crappy firemoth. Its worthless in the current state of the game, hell its worthless in TT as well. High mounted hardpoints are equally as worthless because the meta is useless. I say play how you want with what mech you want.

Also Crusader is a no-go without hardpoint relocation, and Stone Rhino won't have a single barrel for 2 Gauss Rifles, not only is that feasible its also not practical or realistic in or out of the game. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news there.

I'm aware of all of this.

Firemoth: not useless.
Crusader: reallocation is common in MWO.
Stone Rhino: yep, 2 barrels - no problem.

Well, lets attack this with what we know.

April - no mech announcement
May - since the Dev Announcement is after the patch, I'm going with no May mech announcement

It is likely the future of mech packs are on hold until after the MW5 launch, mostly so their art department can have all hands on MW5.

Mechcon, likely still happening, I'm thinking as an after launch party for MW5.

MWOWC, not happening at Mechcon, at least the finals won't be at Mechcon. The thought process here is all the cost of bringing in 3 teams to play for a day or two.

[Arkhangel]

I honestly think rather than monthly mechs, we're probably getting another four-pack soon.

that or they could actually be doing something crazy and go for a massive mech pack like the Clan one again.

Stone Rhino can include Matar addon?
