Raven has always been the poster child for sneaky kills, annoying mobility, and advanced electronics. Hoping the devs can pull off the latter ingame, because otherwise the Raven won't be the same.

That said, I have no issue with the new design direction. I am a little put off by how much of a doofus this vignette implies assault pilots are, especially with all the "whining" and such.

Whoohoo. Finally a decent target to waste some ammo for.

P.S. Great art!

Love the new look, nice to have this superb scout mech on hand. Not sure i will pilot it but I'll be happy to see members of my scout lance in it. What commander could say no to more and better info?

Anyone else notice the 500m range mention on the PPC's? Looks like there will be some sort of optimal range for the weapon, hopefully there is a hard and fast min range to go along with that too.

I love the Raven, but... I´m sry for that, but it looks terrible! Seriously, I you did good work on all other ´mechs, but you really messed up the poor Raven ...

So the Raven is apparently Davion and French. Interesting, (removed)

I like the direction this one took, both the inclusion of the raven as well as the artwork.

[Hayashi]

I think I know what will be my first 'Mech in the game though.

Even though I can't say it looks... birdly enough for my tastes.

[John Clavell]

+1 I like it

[Felicitatem Parco]

I do think it's more like a caimen, in fact that's excatly the species set I had in mind (not alligators, crocodiles, or lizzards... but spefically caimen for some reason).

[Thorn Hallis]

+2 for the mech, -1 for the art.

[Kcire]

Wooot!!

TAG you're it

But the Dav's must have done some posing to get one.

[Striker1980]

Yep, That's the mech for me.

I'll take one of those with all the added extras please.

:-D

To butcher a cliché:

That is AWESOME!!!!!

Raven looks great, second best version of the Raven ever. 1st being Mechcommander Raven.

What, you won't use "That's so Raven"? *Evil chuckle if people get flashbacks to that show*
The nose is more of a sad dog than a birdish beak, but other than that I don't have too many problems with it.
I'm also pleased it has Davion colors considering how it was a Cappie design mostly.

[Shadowsun Entridge]

FINALLY!
The only scout Battlemech I LOVE!

[DarkTreader]

I'm digging it. Not a light pilot myself, but I'm liking it.

If nothing else, with that huge beak, it'll have one hell of a CT hitbox... *powers up his PPCs...*

[Alan Grant]

I can't say I didn't think the Raven would be in the game at release. 3049, the Raven is top of its game. It just screams 3049 with it's black magic thingamajigs.

[Hangfire]

Thanx,, I'll take one in matt black

[Evgeny Bear]

Well not my taste of Raven, but I still wait for a redesing of those crappy 80's mechs not the newer style ones.

I mean when I look at a Clint or an Ostroc... it still hurt my eyes... those clunky square feets...


anyway... still waitin for more ._.

[Felicitatem Parco]

Introducing the Peugeot Raven, with it's 4-cylinder Diesel and softer-than-cheese suspension, this baby will get you from zero-to-60... if you're lucky.


(Just kidding, I love it! I'll probably alternate between this and the Jenner for my Assault-hunting trips)
