I just preordered the Ultimate Crusader Pack.
I don't know anything about the Crusader, lore wise, but the images of it, with his lowish hanging mounts, and THICC body, makes me think it's gonna be a little 65 ton SRM bruiser.

I may or may not enjoy this mech, but that's not what matters, and not why I even purchased it.
I just wanted to say Thank You to the dev team, Francois, and the Cauldron, for all the work that's been put into this game over the past year or so.

I figure if we, as a community, want the corporate execs to justify putting resources into this game, then we - meaning I - need to get back to supporting it. I went to 5 Guys Burgers and Fries last night, and got a cheeseburger, fries, and soda, and it cost me $19.33. Ridiculous. INSANE!

And when you look at it through that lense, it really justifies putting some money down to support this great game that I enjoyed much more and much longer than I did that greasy burger.

So thanks again for all the work. Thanks for giving me this free game during the many months that I didn't pay anything to play it. Thanks for many new maps, the weapon balances, a new mech coming out, the Event Queue, and all the absolutely free giveaways this game does.

This is really one of the best pvp games available today, and I am grateful to still have it.

By lore, the Crusader is a good brawler with LRMs and a mix of shorter ranged stuff, then tons of variants from there. What I'd love to see on it is for a couple of the variants to have reduced minimum range on the lurms. That would make it unique while sticking to the original concept.

Can't wait!

Glad you are enjoying the development of the game, unfortunately as someone who plays FP there has been zero new content. Even the new maps were not added to the FP rotation. As a result, zero purchase or even much game time from me.

I buy the smallest mc pack once every few months as my bid to keep the servers running. I'd buy premium time but its not worth it after you have the mechs you want. I mean I have 130 million cbills and thousands of mc from events so even the mc purchases are kinda pointless but if you want the game to keep going then finding something to buy will go a long way to that goal. I just wish there were better options for what to buy for established players.

I think I've given up on FP.

I agree, here's how much I've spent on my new lover

Would have been a lot of mech packs but it was not meant to be.

Yep, no interest in the Crusader platform but ordered the big pack just to say thanks to the whole team.
MW is the only game I ever truly loved, 30+ years of love it seems (with some gaps here and there)!

I'll hop in the Crusader, remember that the design is not what I prefer, proceed to get my butt kicked and continue
to support MWO.

Out of all the variants only the Hero and the 6T have any appeal to me and/or bring something unique to the table that I can't already do in another heavy. The 7L having both ECM and JJ was almost intriguing enough for me to consider a purchase, but then I noticed the engine cap and that killed it. Just not inspired by the thing overall. Might pick up the hero sometime but the rest can wait for c-bill purchase.

I'm curious to see how tall it is..
It's a thicc boi, and it's only 65 tons.. hopefully it will be small and zippy enough to avoid attention.

Does the ultimate pack include all the extras you get buy buying the standard pack and then the two upgrades?

I have the Ultimate Mech Pack for Crusader, and you get:

[Collectors_Pack]
5x Standard Variant mechs (CRD-3R, 5K, 5M, 6T, 7L), & 30days Premium Time


[Collectors_Pack]>>[Ultimate_Pack]: You get additional:
CRD-3R(S) with +30% CBills Bonus
CRD-CR hero mech with +30% CBills Bonus (love this 10x machine gun boat!!)
2x CBills bonus cockpit hanging item
+200 GSP


Also: Pre-Order Bonus + Event for Crusader Ultimate Pack, you get additional below items:
5100 MC (ie: 3000MC + 2100 MC)

~~The Pre-Order and Event bonuses (time-limted) are worth it IMHO ;)
