SOOOOOOOOO.................................. If a Highlander manages to headshot and kill another Highlander will there be a big surge of lightning, the winning Highlander jump jetting into the air with it's arms raised high and the pilot yelling "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!"?

Taken from BattleTechwiki:


Armament
[color=#000000]
The Highlander carries a weapons mix that is more at home when fighting a ranged battle, but when the ranges close the Highlander has the right equipment for the job. The primary weapon is a M-7 Gauss Rifle that is capable of stripping armor off of an enemy a ton at a time. The Gauss is backed up at long ranges by a Holly-20 LRM-20 launcher. For close range work, it carries two Harmon Starclass Medium Lasers and a Holly-6 SRM-6 launcher. Two tons of ammo for the gauss rifle, LRM and SRM launchers each provide good endurance while the use of CASE grants added production. Low heat buildup from the weapons allows for a nearly continuous barrage without taxing the twelve heat sinks, though pilots must still exhibit caution. [/color]

There is nothing such as low heat build-up in MW:O.

For instance, Vindicator can fire its PPC endlessly in the TT and lore, but when I recreated the mech in MW:O, the heat build-up was really steep.

How many variants will the Highlander have? I mean I have heard that there can only be one.

Sorry I had to

[Pharcyde]

This best looking mech by far besides the wang

Never anger a Scot.

Finally the Highlander. Also, why does the gauss barrel look completely like a PPC?

Dont you mean never anger a clet? Weither he be scottish or IRISH!!!

[GBscientist]

I am glad that the Highlander has finally been announced, since it appeared weeks ago in PC Gamer.

I'm more impressed, though, that the story included mention of 'The Maple Leaf Forever', which is, in my opinion, a far superior national anthem for Canada than 'O Canada'. Are there Canadian descendants on Northwind? I know there are some on Glengarry.

The MacDougall in me is dying to hop behind the wheel of one of these bad boys. I'd also like to second the Single Malt dispenser. Make mine Oban or Balvenie please.

[carl kerensky]

Ahh my new ride. Finally a battlemech fit for a scot. Would be real cool to put my tartan colors somewhere on this beast. Hint Pgi...

[Slater01]

The only problem is your mwo name is polish

[Slater01]

A last name ending in "-sky" or "-ski" is of polish descent.

In the real world anyway, not sure about Battletech lore.
