In response to Forumuserkiller, I am going to take the Swayback variant and make Devtrollkiller.

[Major Tom]

I finally got home and can view the entire IGN article.
I will say this first because it bears repeating. Awesome job on the mechlab

here is something that caught my eye: This screenshot

shows mg ammo at 2000/ton

ammo explosion for AC20 = 20x5 = 100
ammo explosion for LRM20 = 20x6x1 = 120
ammo explosion for SRM6 = 6x15x2 = 180
ammo explosion for mg = 2x200 = 400
ammo explostion for the mg ammo in the image = 2x2000 = 4000

I believe the critical transfer chart for 4000 damage chain-explodes all your teamates as well.

Aim for his arms man! It carries his Machine Gun ammo!

If you are looking out the left eye hole of the atlas... does that mean they are left hand drive?

Well, its not really any different in that case. Like you pointed out, even under the older amounts of ammo in Mechwarrior 2, you would get instantly killed by 200 rounds of machine gun ammunition exploding.

Although, at 4000 damage, I think the critical transfer chart destroys Alderaan.

I think the poor Forum User Killer is one of the most silliest poorly designed 'mechs ever for the sake of demonstration.. 1 MG, 3 tons of ammo baby!

I have really loved the videos I've seen so far. After watching the mech lab video I noticed that the weapons are missing their damage, range, recycle, and heat generated stats. Are these stats going to be added to each weapon later?

Well, we'e looking at a pre-beta build, so many things aren't in place yet.

You're far too trusting.

The Dragon looks like rough sex in an alley. I approve.

[I Kill Pigeons]

Feel the need to climb out of my lurking hole for this.

I Approve of this thread, IGN's article, more gameplay vids... all of it!

Wooo!

The MechLab screenshots demonstrate the Hunchback being customized from a stock variant.

After reviewing the videos more..

I have a question.. it looks MUCH like the TT version (BTW.. That is Fn' AWESOME)

Can we (like in TT) remove hand actuators and such for Crit spaces..?

So say I have an Awesome.. I want more heat sinks.. I can take out the hand from the Left side and replace with a heatsink..? Of course if I have tonnage available.. ?

So not only do you design lead, but you're the PGI custodian as well eh?

Somehow, I'm not surprised.

[Stalkerr]

I am extremely impressed by the visuals and especially by the flow of combat... it's very fluid. I compare this to MW4 and MWLL and there's just a sense that what MWO has is so *right*.

The MechLab looks great. Simple interface with a lot of depth. After decades playing Mech' games, it looks like someone has finally got the whole package right. Wonderful job, devs.

This is going to make me buy a new gaming laptop so I can run this at Crazy Maximum™ settings.

A laptop? Really?

I like my laptop and all, but I'm gonna need to build me a desktop soon
