About MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries – Shadow of Kerensky

• The year is 3050, and the Inner Sphere is under siege. The Clans have returned.
• Take command of your battle-hardened Mercenary Company as you're hired by the Rasalhague Republic to hold the line against an overwhelming new enemy. What begins as a routine mission quickly escalates into a desperate fight for survival, uncovering secrets tied to your past—and to the origins of the Clans themselves.

Since you are negotiating with GOG about the release of this latest MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries expansion pack, could you try to offer MechWarrior 5: Clans on this platform too? Thanks.

Does this mean new IS assault coming to MWO as well?

Can't wait for that Atlas II to come to MWO!))

[MechWpnsTech]

better not be just be teasing just for hired steel only content, WMO better update a hell of lot more mechs in both innerspere and clan side, with that atlas 2 at the end of hired steels video...

Highly probable. PGI has been loathe to pass up a tie-in. Just speculation though.

Perhaps a AS7-D-H (IS version) and the AS7-D-H Kerensky (clan version) as a pairing, just like they did for the railgun Bullsharks? But they don't listen to me. They haven't even gotten me a MAD-9S, yet.

Atlas II is unfortunately not coming to MechWarrior Online, apparently it has like triple the polygons or what ever and would be super unoptimized. You don't want every map to turn into the first second of dropping into Solaris City, do you?

[Lepestok]

The models look good. Although it seems to me that Rayna needed to be made older, because she is already 50 years old at this moment. And I hope you've made more animations for them, or will they still stand almost motionless?

And why cant do they for MWO ? MWO has different engine so they need to do the Atlas 2 with the MWO engine and textures.
My only problem that the Atlas 2 has not much offer , the only difference from the original Atlas that the 2 variant move his ballistic hardpoint to the right arm and the rightarm lasers go to the left torso. So we have better shooting arc with the ballistic but because this is on the arm you can forget equip AC20,LBX 20 and heavy Gauss.
