fake 1080p , not really sharp, looks like it's upscaled a lot

[SMDMadCow]

That is a sexy Leopard.

[ScrewCityChris]

Oh man, thanks for the 1080 video and the Leopard pics!! I am so, so, exited for the game.

cant help but wonder if hot drops are automated or are people going to error themselves into a crater

Loving it. That Leopard looks as sexy as the mechs.

Never thought I'd want to be the main man on a dropship before, but with that beauty...!!!

Edit: thought I'd add my butchered edit of the trailer, along with bad acting, and my thoughts on all systems nominal.

I bet it depends on the commander

I wonder what the fourth mech is. Leopards are pretty small and carry only 4 mechs. That was a scout lance (with an atlas - must be a steiner scout lance lol). So what is lucky number 4? Could that be what the stay tuned for more announcements comment was about?

That being said - if hot drops are in the game - it could bring a really exciting dynamic to MWO matches. Imagine certain game modes where one side is attacking and hot drops in - and the other side is on the ground. The defenders wouldn't know where the attackers were coming in, and would have to find them. On the other hand, the attackers have a good chance of getting split up and picked apart by the defenders. Could add a random aspect to matches, prevent maps from being played the same way over and over, avoid choke points, and spawn camping. Thoughts?

Soo where's the change in voice actor the write up says "Nominal" the vid says "Online" Paul be trolling again.

[Grotonomus]

Anyone know the unit that Dropship emblem is associated with?

[guardian wolf]

Wow, I can't believe that we are seriously implementing it at launch. This is amazing. Well, that means that my hopes have been realized, and that I will be able to relive memory's of long ago, though my lance won't be the same, and one pilot short, this is for you Blake, I will make you proud.

Love to see someone yard sale their Assault into a building on the urban maps...

"Ohhhh, was that a leg that just flew by me?"

I like the fact that the dropship has both side and floor doors. Not something that has really been touched on from what I have seen.

That finished, she checked her lance:

“Jeff?”

“Watching buttons flash. Sometimes I push them. Alright, Check.”

Holy crap, I'm still rolling, here! That's funny.

Also, my inner nerd is just screaming like Gabriel Iglesias getting chocolate cake. Holy smokes.

You had me at 1080

1) The dropship in the picture has Marik Colours, I do believe.
2) I wrote Nominal, because as Paul mentions in another thread we couldn't get it in time for the video. Complicated.
3) You guys made me lose a bet it took you so long to figure out the Hunchback was a Swayback
4) We still <3 all of you. Except people who say 'first'

[SilentWolff]

Dropships OMG!

Yep for easy loading and off loading. Makes sense.

I didn't like in the MW4 video where they show mechs jumping out the side of the Leopard. It's just not right! *shakes fist*

It's the little details like that which give me faith in this dev team. That and Garth's love of metal.
