And we just keep giving...

Factoid - I fought tooth and nail, whined and sniveled and even outright berated several staff/owners/strangers on the street to get this BattleMech into the game.

Well then what would it take to get a Marauder in? This sort of look (les curvy than previously), but a recognizable (though still not an unseen version).. PS thanks for the fight for the Catapult, it's a great choice.

Kidding aside, good stuff there.

"Ponyt Ale"? Now you guys are just trolling Paul and Alex, aren't you? Still, I laughed.

Also, the Catapult looks great. Has a very robust and sturdy feel compared to previous incarnations.

[Trogusaur]

Wow, I remember the MW4 days when that thing looked nothing more than a fat, no-armed Mad Cat. The Catapult is actually cool now!

I like the catapult mech ever since my first mech death from the training instructor in MW2:Mercs 'don't shoot me' pfft boom

But i think this ones skin looks a little robotechy/ed209

See! That's what I said too!

So I'm not going crazy...

[Azreall]

Nice! Looking good!

What's interesting is the dish and what seems to be a remotely operated imaging device on the top of the Catapult. It could be AMS, but I doubt it. It looks like an imaging array contained within a spherical housing unit.

[Aleksandr Miuri]

Well, damn. I didn't think the Cat could be made to look good, but that's amazing. I -really- can't wait to see the rest of the redesinged mechs now.

Yea John I saw that too, but was just storing it in my back brain until we get more "Info warfare" details It does look like the imaging ball off our current generation of UAVs


and the directional antenna next to it is a great touch also. Indirect fire from LRMs would be a great addition, even if they are more scattered than a directed fire salvo.

Catapult is one of my favourit mech after Mad Cat. NEED IT in real life !

[Marauder3D]

This is a great reimagining of the Catapult. Good job on the artwork team!

That said, I was really hoping for the Archer or Crusader as the main fire support mech of MWO. IIRC the Catapult caught traction after the whole unseen mess. I was hoping we could get back to the old school goodness for MWO.

Still hoping for a Warhammer or Marauder by Summer, but hope fades fast.

[Naughtyboy]

even though i am no fan of support mechs(me piloting one that is ), damn this mech looks very very.. did i say very? good cant wait till next pops out hehe .

[Armored Yokai]

enemies beware have a catapult on a field going against my team ill thank you for the salvage (headshot) and besides i have taken down so many of those mechs and because their cockpit was never covered so be careful around me with those things guys

What Paul does not know, we've flipped the throttle controls on his Catapult.
