It's screenshot time, it's screenshot time! This particular one comes from a playtest I was in recently. Yes, I am the Hunchback pilot. I'm just minding my own business, turn, and see that. As you can imagine, I (and my armour) was not impressed. Guess I should stick to cover better, eh?

Think I made it? Did I survive the onslaught and continue on? The answer may surprise you! (yes).  Oh and hey - give us more ideas for screenshots. Something you want to see? Tell us!

 

Thanks for tuning in everyone, and see you next week!

Cheers, The MechWarrior Online Team

Yea, though I walk through the valley of missiles...

[Viper69]

I will fear no PPC for though are within 90m

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of missiles, I will fear no Cat: for Raven are with me; thy Guardian ECM and thy Beagle they comfort me.

@Viper, until you run into ER PPCs, they DON'T have a minimum range, that ER does more than lengthen effect ranges seriously, check Sarna if you don't believe me

The path of the MechWarrior is beset on all sides by the inabilities of the cowardly, and the numbers of Inner Sphere men.
Blessed is he, who in the name of honour and valour, shepherds the support through the valley of missiles, for his is truly his star-mates keeper and the finder of lost newbies.

And I will strike down upon thee with great gauss rifles and ER PPCs those who would attempt to damage and destroy my battle comrades.

And you will know my title is Community Manager, when I lay my banhammer upon thee!

hmm

how did you fit 8 energy weapons on an HBK-4J?

last i checked it only had 6 energy hardpoints and 2 missle

i can see it's a HBK-4J on the bottom left, I can see it has 8 energy weapons due to 8 infinity symbols for ammo on the weapons list to the right... though i cant tell exactly what weapons they are because of the glare of the missles

We all should be careful, not beta forums and all.

[Dracol]

Since it was said the pic is from a play test, I'm thinking infinite ammo maybe in play?

Someone has watched a bit of pulp fiction.

A beautiful sight if you are in the launching mech, not on the recieving end.

Look at the time... I guess respawns were on and that's the reason you continued?

[Grey Weasel]

8 Medium Lasers. Bet overheating sucks on that.

Who hasn't?

[Namwons]

Screen Shot Idea: I want to see Gauss round fly past someone's cockpit in a near miss head shot.

[Lord Rip]

The screenshots have been kinda blah.

I would much rather the screenshot Ayane tried to submit that the Browncoats Mercenary Company posed for. I mean who wouldn't love a team posing with an AFK Atlas next to the enemy base complete with a Jenner perched on his shoulder.

[Solis Obscuri]

I would expect a HBK-4J to have fewer beam weapons and more missiles... but there's a lot of infinity loops on the right side of that HUD...

[von Mannschaft]

I see a problem here. If those are flamers hitting you, which is what it looks like. Why is your heat at 1%?
