Congratulations, everyone!

To celebrate the 100,000^th post on the forums (which coincidentally was posted by Spot) we’d like to slip you a little something to thank you all for the support and enthusiasm that you’ve shown from the start.

Gotcha! ;D

The types of posts have ranged, from enthusiastically of loving to downright hating cynicism, but that’s something that really bolsters and solidifies a community. We truly appreciate the voices of the many who help us steer this great project in a forward and positive direction.

So in keeping with the spirit of our lively forums…

FLAME ON!
Imagine sneaking up behind the dude shooting large lasers non-stop and toasting him up; forcing him to shut down… then standing in front of him while eating a pizza. Mmmm, toasted 'Mech...

Keep up the debating, discussing, and wonderful lively conversations we've come to know and love. It is an honour and a priviledge being your Community Manager.

Woot!

Very nice, umm I got shivers. I see three flamers... different vendors? Different versions, if anything different looks. We may see some customization never seen since Pimp you mech aired in 2715 on the Terran Hegemony Music Holonetwork.

I can see the broken-down UrbanMech montage now...

Sort of like marshmellows, only different.

Most excellent!

I love seeing detailed weapon depictions, and these do not fail to deliver in the "ooooooooooh..." department!

Can we postulate that we might see some 'mechs included that utilize flamers by default? (Firestarter, anyone?)

Also, and this is just me spitballin' here, this is further proof that there will likely be a 'mech lab of some sort where some (perhaps limited, hopefully) weapon swapping may occur.

Me personally, I wouldn't mind swapping a couple of small lasers out for a good old flamer.

Thanks for the awesome surprise Garth! Looking forwards to seeing what's to come tomorrow! (Hoping for 'mech warfare!)

is it just me or did that flamer weapon look sexy. I want one

[CoffiNail]

See, I think it would be awesome to have some of those old MMORPG feel, with different levels of weapons of the same weapon. Your have you small laser. But you have the 5 houses model, maybe even a model per lore of each place that actually makes them. Periphery factions could have a model, rare rare Star League or even rarer, maybe not even properly working pre SL, some times they do more damage, other times less.

I know exactly what to do with this...

Just gonna leave this here...

Here Hayden




I love this artwork, the weapons make me think of the old MW manuals and guide, MechCommander, and of course TechReadouts... You want extra cash PGI, get permission to do a MWO TRO 3049, with this artwork and that of the mechs and sell it... You guys will be saying, Hail to the King Baby for sure!
hope it was alright i blew up thosei mages a bit to make them a bit more visible. Want to give us clearer ones?

I must say that today is a good day for multiple reasons, but this by far is up there.
(I also some interesting thoughts/observations on the flamer)

Aw, man, I thought you said 'UrbanMech warfare!' and I had the best mental image...

Can we have a bunch of 2nd Succession war skinned Urbanmechs fighting over battered urban terrain with dated flamers? Give us a screenshot of that for GDC

No no no, while I think the urbie is lovable in a 'Innit he Special!' sort of way, I personally wouldn't pilot one unless it was my last (and only) resort.

If I'm going to be in a light chassis it's going to be a Wolfhound, or Panther. That's just me though.

Glad I could provide a bit of unintentional mirth to ya though!

Can't wait to see what's coming next!

While this is awesome in and of itself, I am suddenly overcome by a thought: I am curious as to why concept art for an individual weapon system is needed...what does this imply?

Let the speculation begin--release the Kell Hounds!

You don't need much imagination.

An in-game technical manual. In-store weapon diagrams. Or are you just trying to start a FLAME war here?!

Eh? EH!? See what I did there? FLAME......W.....you know, forget it, I'm not using my 'A' material on you guys.
