So I guess the standard camo spec of the Hunchback looked too good (I liked it), doesn't it?

PGI removed it and added a very simple and bleak replacement, so that players are more likely to BUY a new camo spec. They even were so lazy as to retain the old camo spec in the mech picture shown in the mechbay.

This is very very cheap, PGI. :)

Oh and in the process they also ruined the Founders Hunchback texture. :) Why do obvious bugs like that slip through? A simple look at all the founder mechs (and I bet many if not all PGI employees got all Founder mechs in their garage) would've revealed the broken cockpit texture.

I got three Hunchbacks and one Centurion. That's why. :)

well, look at it this way... on the plus side you can now re-colour your mechs how you want, instead of being stuck with 1 default scheme and pattern... there are more "free" colours and patterns coming both as promotional items and for Loyalty Points when you join a faction... the current system is just the first step on a path to many various and wonderful things

Well, I guess I can get over it. It's just a bit odd, because not only did they remove the (imho) good looking camo I used to know and like, but this also came with a general degredation of texture quality. This thing was high quality before the patch. Now its blurry and low-res as hell. Whether one liked the old texture or not, but technically it's worse.

Plus...I'm having a hard time getting over the Founder Hunchback texture glitch. It's my only Founder mech and I almost know they wont fix it over christmas. It will greet me every time I log into MWO until next year. This is a major oversight, not in terms of severity but in terms of "how the hell did they miss this???". :)

You were expecting something besides Olive Drab?
