mechwarrior 2

I don't think it was directly called that since Mechwarrior 2 was played from the Clans perspective since they don't use the IIC prefix. it was part of the hidden mechs you had to unlock..

It's either a IIC or C

If I remember correctly, it was just a normal BattleMaster, albeit used by the Clanners.

I was hoping we'd get a Lore Based `Mech, or something akin to a variant.

I was hoping for more of a Light, or even a Medium. Hell, the Clan Lights need some serious love.

There is 3 clan variants of the Battlemaster but no IIC upgrade it was a mektek creation for mw4 from what I recall. But generally most clan variants of Inner Sphere mechs just get the C designation followed by a number if there is more than one.

Hope we get the Red Corsair when it's the Battlemaster's turn to get a Legendary variant.

There is mention of a battlemaster IIC if you look on google besides we have now the bullshark, sunspider roughtneck as non-cannon mechs in mwo I don't see why we can't have a battlemaster IIC, also BY THE BLOOD OF KERNESKY GIVE ME A LOCUST IIC ALREADY OR A FIREMOTH! Let alone a woodsman or other clan mech we're missing i think the woodsman among a few other older designs would be good for evening out the clan to is mech count.

Google can offer you any nonsense somebody puts on the web.

There are some reasons ...

1) If I remember correctly, HBS published the BattleTech PC game because it sublicensed the needed rights from PGI.

2) There has been some game assets exchange between HBS and PGI since HBS began their work on their BattleTech game.

So the roots of cooperation between HBS and PGI go deep. And if we are talking about it, people from HBS, PGI and CGL are old acquaintances.

Meh. Turkina would've been much more fun.

[andy5689]

After ten years of playing MWO, you should know the PGI's pricing policy.

I suppose…

Firemoth, Locust IIC or Fire Falcon. Any would be awesome.

[Far Reach]

Neat.
Good.

[Duskwing]

Interesting choice for a new mech.

Remembering the Thumper Cannon from Battletech, maybe give one variant a quirk that drops double artillery strikes when it uses them? Or just boosts damage, accuracy, duration/number of shots, etc.

I do kinda like how that is available for both IS and Clan, though I wish we could at some point mix clan and IS tech. Not likely in MWO, but... Came to my mind instantly after seeing this thing. : )



Now let's see next the first quadmech released as the next new chassis! ); ) Something like the Tarantula or Scorpion. ^^

I suggest sticking to sarna for lore accurate battlemechs but on the topic of non canon mechs it's true they can pop one out but it's kinda hard to justify when we can just use the C C2 and C3 will pretty much fill out anything the a hypothetical Battlemaster IIC, and I think it be better to bring in designs from Mek Tek if possible there is alot of intresting non canonical designs to bring, hell bring the Ragnarok in with a lava cannon snd just say it's a experimental heavy plasma rifle, shouldn't be to hard.

And I agree to add some new clan mech designs personally I want to finish off the reseen IIC's from griffin to the phawk, and then maybe the grendal,grizzly, and Mad Cat Mk III(I really want more timberwolves in my collection)

[Ormstarr the Splitter]

Whoa, this is my baby! Like, I designed and modeled this bad boy for the Heavy Metal expansion when I was at HBS, haha


I'm so pumped to see it here! I know our models work very differently, so big respect to whoever had to remodel this thing to make it MWO worthy.
