All this needs now is a tartan skin and bagpipes blaring via speakers on the hull and were set :P

It will pick up when there is alot less initial work going on to create the game.


Lol it's still going to be ages. We get the cataphract in November, the stalker in December. That still leaves roughly 6 more mechs for 2012. While all of this is going on, community warfare has to be built - and then come the clans.

I don't doubt that things will pick up, and I can't wait. I'm just trying to be realistic and not get my hopes up.

(To be clear, I am aware the Scottish do not actually talk like this. It is a charicature meant to make a more 'larger than life' and interesting character.)


Lets be honest. You just wrote the Demoman into the cockpit of a highlander, didnt you?

Dear, PGI:

When someone kills a Highlander with a headshot, instead of an explosion have a huge burst of lightning.

You know you want to.

Does this mean the Highlander is being released ingame today? Or soon?


God no

It takes months after announcement before a mech appears in-game, we still don't have the Cicada and Cataphract in game yet

OK, Highlanders are now primary targets in all engagements. Their pilots are too irritating to leave alive.

I want to be happy, but I can't because this means I am gonna have to wait about half a year or more.

And by that time I'll probably have moved on from MWO.

Gotta love the writing on the leg, BTW. It's the little touches that make the concept artwork so fun to look at.

For some reason I read the Highlander pilot's speech with the demoman's voice.

Something good at last. Reminds me of the time when I wasn't in Beta yet, never knew what a disaster awaits in fututre and just waited for next 'mech to be announced. Hope the MWO would stay afloat long enough to see this one in the field, and if not - at least I'll end up with a folder of decent artwork.
