Recently an article over at GamesRadar (Found HERE, offsite link) recently posted an article about MWO. Along with this article we get some new in-game screen shots which show's off the Catapult in game model, any might I add that it looks lovely.



I would also recommend giving the article a good read.
Also; for those who are familiar with Battletech we also got a little surprise!
The Catapult K-2 (or what I am assuming to be the CPLT-K2 variant of the Catapult) which trades off the LRM's for two PPC's!



We also get the first look at the jumpjets being use in-game. I love the dust that is being kicked up behind the Catapult as it propels itself into the air.



More Screen's are available over at GamesRadar!

They look great!!!

Can we get the Hi-Res versions of these in the media section please...I feel a repaint coming on!

**** in me pants

NICE!

I am thinking/hoping - CPLT-K3 - Though this design never reached full production, it was prototyped during the War of 3039. It upgraded the PPCs of the K2 to ER PPCs. Twenty double heat sinks kept heat to a minimum

Topics Merged.


Nice find Cattra Kell and chewie !


The Catapult was my "first 'mech" , and she looks beautiful. Interesting that the LRM "pods" are closed in some screenshots and open in others. Very cool.


Someone make sure to tell Aegis there's something to get excited about?

Everyone give Gamesradar a little love and make sure to click on the previously posted link to their story. The more Page Views they get on their MWO story the better!!




Cheers.

Its a variant of the Catapult which switches the LRM hardpoints for PPC hardpoints. If you have TRO's its the Catapult-K2 variant, In the opening post I linked to Sarna which houses all the variants and descriptions.

Interesting...seems the missile bay doors are going to actually open and close when firing.

noted, I cut&paste the er version,, it just struck me about the big brew-haha over hard points and all . . . .

Freaking amazing, she looks gorgeous both in original and K2. Can't wait to actually pilot this beauty!

[Storm McIntyre]

Too sweet. An original Catapult AND a variant!! Gotta thank Gamesradar and the Devs for showing the love!

[Night Hawk]

From the look of it the LRM's are billbords. Which actually is a good thing. Or that is one hella motionblur. Either way man this game looks awesome. Wow it even got me to post.

[neodym]

I wonder if you can put other energy weapon in that K2 and if yes if it will stop looking like big PPC cannon
