Mayeb the hardpoints for the K2 include extra hardpoints, which are then represented by empty hardpoint mountings which are empty on the K2.

Perhaps its not the stock variant and they added medium lasers onto it?

Regardless, the thing looks awesome. I'll echo what others were saying and say that the landscape is just tops. That tower also caught my attention. It really sits well with the landscape. Everything in the picture feels like it should be there.

Very Nice!

[Spooky]

On one of the screens shot, you can see lenses above the machine guns... or am I crazy?

No, the K2 mounts a MLas in the RT and LT, along with an MG at each location.

Maybe that's why the two CT locations are still appearing on the K2 (which has no CT-mounted weapons), but I could swear I still see lenses at those hardpoints.

The scenery is looking fantastic!

Duel PPCs?? Oh man I really wanna jump in one of these and get my snipe on!

[Insidious Johnson]

Not as uber as Mouse-a-pult. A close second though.

[Dirk Le Daring]

Very impressive images, good find.

Why choose? Buy a -C1, go quick and missile heavy for fast-fire support, then get a -K2 and go crazy on the heavy firepower.
.....

I'm gonna go fire up SSW and see how that works out now.

I just spec'd out a build for me.

CPLT-GRV-AA1 "Griever" (based on CPLT-C1 variant)
325XL (86KPH)
12T FF Armor (100% coverage)
10 DHS = 83% Heat Efficiency
2xLRM15 w/ 720 missiles w/ Artemis IV FCS
4xMedium Lasers
BAP

She gonna be a sweet ride!

when I frist saw the Catapult in 3050 tech readout I didn't want to fiy it but now with MWO I want to sooo badly

[GrimJim]

Any one notice the exhaust roundels on the right barrel of the K2? (little holes you find on machine guns for air cooling)

The left is clearly a PPC. Could the right be an Autocannon?

[Joe Davion 86]

yeah...if i ever need to go Heavy support (either direct or indirect) the CLPT will be my ride

YEa, very nice touch. I wonder if it will actually have eshaust or if that is just how the PPC looks since it is bigger(LL might not extend backwards in the same hardpoint)

If you look at the photo where the Catap is on the rock and almost looking at you, you can see that the weapon is a mirror of itself from one side to the other, so chances are they are dual PPCs.

Still, I had thought the K2 dual PPC variant wasn't available in 3049. This might mean that PGI is giving us access to later year variants (just not the weapons that those variants might have been carrying)

This should allow for a lot more customization of the chassis, though I expect some chassis to have many variants and others to have next to none (variety!)

[redreaper]

i reckon the custom variants will be what we will be paying for eg swapping out the missile hard points for energy and im perfectly fine with tht

[DirePhoenix]

I don't care if I'm in the FedSuns... I *WILL* find a way of getting my hands on that K2 variant

(at least until I can get into a Marauder)
