Good defensive quirks. Meh on weapons quirks.

You have got to be kidding me, why would you add the Hatchetman and not melee? It's like adding tanks without guns or smoke screen dispensors without smoke. Pull your heads out of your....oh you didn't add that either?

PGI simply offered the Hatchetman in MWO because they had the 'Mech model prepared for MW5:Mercs. But since there is no physical combat in MWO, the hatchet is just a cosmetic bolt-on here.

Totally didn't realise it was coming out this month, that's practically pre-Clan levels of announce ahead of release.

I'm glad to see a new mech, and the price is okay, $40 for the whole kit-and-kaboodle including the Hero mech, is right on the outside edge of what I would pay (and why I skipped the Crusader). Pretty sure I'm buying this.

Not having melee; I knew would be the case, not sure why guys are acting all surprised at this, they've been 100% clear forever, no melee. Get over it.

See y'all on the battlefield.

'Cutting Corners' Bro, they legit don't have a mech designer, due to their main one leaving, At least they are still giving us content and not letting this game burn in a damn dumpster. If you don't like it, fine, but if you don't know the struggles, then quiet.

ive done game development. theres getting **** done, and there is this. they have let the game burn in a dumpster and charged you admission for the privilege of watching it burn. its a slow burn, and it was lit pretty early in development. buy it, dont buy it, i dont care. idk what this mech brings that the other 900 dont.

You try finding people who know how to do things in the engine mwo runs.

As predicted that's some serious armor quirk bloat there I guess it needs in the current sniper meta.. Without it poor dude would tip over at a strong sneeze..

Not much on weapon quirks though.

[KrocodockleTheBooBoxLoader-GetIn]

Cool might get it

[Gas Guzzler]

IS Omnis, Stone Rhino, Turkina, when?

I'm still desperately looking for that sniper meta that people keep complaining about right after we had others complain about the snub meta and now people complain about the MG spam and red laser meta. Maybe all y'all should get together and find some consensus whether it is short range or long range you are upset about.

It's whatever happens to be shooting someone at a given time. Are you new here??

people make doom and quake mods to this day on even deader engines. there are a couple cauldron members i know of who would love to dig into that mutant cryengine that supposedly nobody knows how to use. even if they were to join pgi, they would be quickly scurried away to other projects. lack of a serious dedicated dev team is this games major problem. even if its only 3 people and the company fish.

[Lifeblight]

Why give a brand new mech quirks to armor? Just give them more armor.

I didn't think I'd see him here! It's a pity that without melee - his chips - but it doesn't look bad! Pre-order is unequivocal.

I love that Hatchetman hero paintjob... is that a tomato paste splash effect?

I've been asking and advocating for the Hatchetman since I've joined MWO over 7 years ago and have peen hashtagging #MakeTheHatchetman wherever I could and even tried to create a proposal on how it would maybe be possible to integrate the Hatchetman by cheating a Melee system into MWO without any additional game mechanism ( https://mwomercs.com...-3f-hatchetman/ ). I was glad the Hatchetman coming to Battletech and even more happy to have it in MW5 but thought that's it for a MWO version. Glad I was wrong in the end, even without it having the "Melee" feature.

Duane Looses drawing in TRO2025 and the subsequent RAL Parta miniature was the thing that really hooked me into the whole Mech aestetic and to this day is my "taking-it-to-the-island" picture of any Mech ever.

So, seeing it walk over the MWO battlefields tonight, I can die in peace now. Thanks @PiranhaGames for #MakingTheHatchetman

I'm scratching my head over this one. We got the Crusader as the last mech and now we are getting another IS mech that is melee oriented....that doesn't do melee. Hope you guys can make up for it with a decent clan mech whenever that gets released.

41 Clan Mechs

Any questions ?

Took the HCT out for a test drive and OH BOY! that hatchet is very, um....visibly there. It kind of reminds me of the piranha tunnel vision cockpit. Does anyone know if a bolt-on can block incoming fire? if so, the hatchet/battle axe is going to be an OP shield. It would be hilarious if a bunch of HCT were running around free looking and swatting missiles out of the air with a hatchet.

After the first Matches I can say this chasis ist bugged like hell. Hitreg is a mess, jumpjets are inconsistent, I fell through terrain at least 6 times, got stuck on s*** on the ground. I got Hit, no reaction, suddenly my ct goes Red and Betty screams that my left arm, which was fine was about too fall off. Shooting is a game of chance. Sometimes you Hit the Center of your crosshair, sometimes shots Go into the wild and If you Hit IT Happens that your Shot Passes straight through your enemy doing nothing.
Back to QC I would suggest.
