I find the animations a bit stiff. Shouldn't the pelvis area on that Hunchback move a bit with each stride? Also none of them are putting their forward foot in front of the other when taking a step like any biped would. It looks like the leg movement one would produce when riding a bicycle ( especially on the Jenner)

Keeping in mind that these aren't living bipeds, they're synthetic machines with gyro's. Turn A Gundam was even weirder looking in how the machines walked. I'd imagine they could balance in ways we can't due to programing etc...and of course it's early footage too. Either way looked pretty great to me. Really like the damage effects off the lasers.

Just asking, at about 1:45 into the vid, did he just said OUTSIDE the cockpit??? WHATEVER COULD THAT MEAN!?!?!??!?!

Probably about as much as the first trailer did? Get to see that you are indeed a pilot and people running around the mechs in mechbays etc. I would guess not much more then that but even that by itself would be an upgrade over MW1-4.

Mmmm, I don't know. The animation looked okay, but it actually looked less like massive walking robots and more like toys. There just wasn't that visceral feeling.

It's not a big deal, but I hope that the dev team continues to improve on animations and such rather than set a standard and then follow it for the rest of the game. They're probably working their butts off, and it definitely shows. Still, these kinds of things need to be said.

Great job guys, and thanks for all your hard work, and dedication This is the only game that has ever got me this excited.

Again, thank you from the botom of my heart

I can't believe I haven't found this yet.

While the game looks like it's coming along great, and god did that atlas go down to a head shot?? I wonder the thought behind the ability to customize a mech's loadout to the extent that's being discussed. I can see some minor changes in weapons, but if you can change armor/engines/complete loadouts, then what's the advantage of omnimechs? In fact what's the difference between one 55 tom mech and any other 55 ton mech, if you can change everything?

From a game play standpoint, It seems hard to imaging taking a linebacker and converting it over to laser weapons. Will it's appearance change? Will the AC 20 still appear on it's shoulder? It also kills a lot of intel, as normally you have an idea what mechs are deadly close up, and which ones are deadly @ long range and (should) adjust tactics accordingly. I guess I'll see how this turns out, as I can't wait for beta to start.

They'll likely implement a system simliar to MW4: 'Mechs had certain hard points for certain types of weapons. For example, a yellow hard point could only use autocannon/machine gun-type weapons, a green hard point could only use missiles, etc.

Dude, I hate to jump in on here about this but you need to relax a little bit. This is - and shouldn't be - not the time or place to talk about ........ I humbly ask you to get off of your high-'Mech and take a step back. As far as I know, 'Mechs are giant robots, thus they don't have genders so they really can't be...... in the first place.

I could be wrong, though...

It looks better then i thought possible. It is just awesome and beautiful. Only qualm i have is that the missiles don't look quite right. But aside from that it is just, jaw dropping!

...kleenex anyone?

[Draco Argentum]

Niiice, much less brown than I expected.

[Pvt Dancer]

I actually really dig the fact that the Atlas was able to shoot /over/ the Jenner, but the Hunchback was almost hit in the rear because it was bigger and upright.

Can't wait!
