You know, it just hit me the reason MWO has not taken off the way PGI wants it to is simple. The first trailer they made had a sorry War-hammer Pilot. He has no chance of defeating the Atlas since he apparently forgot about the minimum range of 90 meters on his twin PPC's. Sheesh back pedal man!!!!

Sorry could not resist.

He was so happy too when he blew out the Atlas' AC/20.

[MadaO]

Don't blame him, he's just so used to having ECM cover.

[J4ckInthebox]

2 MG's....poor guy.

[GODzillaGSPB]

Maybe he upgraded, maybe he had ER-PPCs. ^^

After becoming lostech during the Succession Wars, the ER PPC was first reintroduced to the Inner Sphere in 3037 by the Draconis Combine.

I don't think they had it back in 3015.

To top it all he goes and ejects before he dies! I hope the Atlas reported him for that.

Smith and Tinker are the people who developed one of the fangames. I think they were part of the team that worked on MekMatch but I can't say for sure.

I wouldn't object if they came to work on MWO. A lot of their original art direction is still visible in the current maps and models.

It was a Davion pilot, what would you expect?

I have a feeling they would be much better devs than the current lot.

if only the game looked like that christ i would hand them my yearly pay

[Thirdstar]

I wonder what effect it would have on MWO if mechs randomly had a reactor failure during death and created a short range explosion like that.

Signed.

Totally Rookie Pilot.
And you are wrong he backpedaled, but it went on 180 Meters... which allowed to fire lockon LRM.
If he had stayed at 120 Meters he would only have had 3 M-Laser and one KSR6 against his 2 SLasers 2Mlasers SRM6
and 2 PPC's and 2 MG's. Btw why did he drive a WHM-6r and not a WHM-6D then he would have had lot more Armor. But i think the Ballistic Hardpoints sucked him in, and he forgot to Uparmor Warhammer.

Btw the Atlas Pilot is even worse. A Warhammer with MG (Whm-6r) only has 30(15 TT) Points Armor per Leg...

You Shortcombat volley at the Legs and the Warhammer would have been legged..

[Bromineberry]

I want that Warhammer in the game. Now.

[Rhent]

the HUD looked about 2X's better than the existing HUD. Having the graphic display of the mech when you target on the HUD is a sweet effect. Having mechs visibly stagger when you hit them with a solid blast, like a PPC blow or AC blow would be a nice effect as well.

Kinda a sad state when you can say "Oh ok an assault mech, not bad" but when two light mechs make an appearance you know your ****** xD

Hilariously spot on. also, check out all the cool building destruction that we don't have (...yet?)! Man was I psyched when I saw that trailer...
