This control layout make me happy. I even like the dual reticles now that they have confirmed how they will work.

Adi is just focused on the key setup. He'll catch the rest in a bit.

Nah, I'm excited too.

Also, David Bredley. Who was driving the mech we see the picture from?

[Skwisgaar Skwigelf]

And I really like how the Atlas looks in-game - huge, wide-shouldered, even more threatening than previous iterations.

Ok. Now this deffinatly has thrown MA to the ropes and kicked it out of the ring. I am looking forwards to seeing how it is implemented.

[Barantor]

Awesome.

Torso-twist angles, on the horizontal plane, vary from BattleMech to BattleMech due to construction constraints and the speed, at which the torso can twist, also varies from BattleMech to BattleMech depending on their tonnage and engine capacity.

Does this mean it varies by engine and tonnage, not by mech? So a mech of equal tonnage and equal engine rating would have an identical twist speed, but not necessarily the same angle of rotation?

Either way, squee!

The arms of a BattleMech can be moved independently of the BattleMech torso. The amount of movement depends on the BattleMech’s construction. For example, a Centurion would be able to move further than a Jenner due to the way they are built.

Squee!

The MechWarrior (pilot) does have the ability to override critical heat shut-down but they do so at the risk of catastrophic failure and can result in internal ammunition detonations.

SQUEE!

InnerSphereNews, on 07 March 2012 - 11:03 AM, said:

With the exception of lasers and PPCs, all weapons require ammunition. Ammunition takes up weight and space on a BattleMech chassis and cannot exceed the chassis limits.

Does this mean flamers are not tapping into the reactor like in the tabletop, and are using/requiring critical space to store ammo/fuel like a vehicle flamer does?

InnerSphereNews, on 07 March 2012 - 11:03 AM, said:

Ammunition is also susceptible to enemy fire. If an enemy is able to breach the armor surrounding ammunition and starts to damage the ammunition housing, there is a chance that the ammunition will explode causing high amounts of internal damage.

SQUEE! Glad to hear this is making it in, weren't you on the fence about it?

Targeting
There are five different levels of targeting information that the player can receive about an enemy ’Mech.

I love this set up so much, this sounds like a blast.
