Is it just me or is there no Mad Cat planned for Mwo? I'm not really that knowledgeable with the mech/battletech universe but i have played alot of the mech games and they all have one thig in common and that is the Mad Cat mech, which is pretty much a trade mark for most of the pc mech games.

Did i miss it and its coming? Is it on the "to be announced" list? Or is it not going to be in the game at all? In which case i would very much like to know why...

It will get into the game, but only once it's used to invade the Inner Sphere.

Before that, you have to use IS mechs (no Timber Wolves, Mad Dogs, etc.)

No, and if people keep asking for it I don't care if there ever is one.

The current day, relative to the BT universe, is 9/9/3049. The "Clan Invasion" started in August of '49, with the invasion of the outer reaches of the Inner Sphere. The actual invasion of the Inner Sphere began somewhere around early to mid 3050. No clan mechs for techs will be available until the clans invade with them.

Don't assume humanity is know all, see all. Of course thats both sides...you guys assuming they even bother to read when the clans are being released and the other dudes not even bother to use the search. You both are at fault.

Also, clans are Teh Sux! Why does everyone love the? The terrible Mad Cat, that is broken beyond any ability to comprehend and it was designed that way. Missile launchers that weight half as much and have zero minimum activation range. Energy weapons that do 50% more damage and are more compact. Mechs equiped with suped up add ons (Ferro, Endo, XL engine, Double HS) that are half the crit space of the IS while able to run 25% faster...why IS are just handicaped you wonder why they are even allowed their crappy version of the new tech. Of course everyone loves the clans, because they are so retreadedly easy to pack on several very powerful guns, up the speed, and carry enough heat sinks. I love a few mechs of the clans, but I prefer them to be the great enemy that everyone hates not the popular dude that all the fanbois giggle and blush over because they sport the latest in designer equipment.

I really hope they don't release any Mad cat any time soon. Its was so over done as a Battletech/Mechwarrior universe icon/avatar. Personally I feel the Atlas as an icon is quickly becoming over done right now.

The whole thing I love about this universe is its variety.

Even regular line military units have a huge variety of chassis and classes of mechs. I always believed Atlases, (Atlaei? Atlai? Moose? Meese?) were unit command mechs, for assaulting and leading companies or regiments and not exactly common on the battlefield, and because of that were feared. So I'm patiently waiting for more releases. ;)

Actually, the clan tech is what they had in the Star League with little advancement added. It was the destruction of most of the infrastructure within the IS that lost them the tech.

PGI said they would be "mad" not to sell MadCats to people. It's coming, but it's gonna be a bit.


On another note, the "search" function is really helpful, because I see about 4-5 MadCat threads every week.

They should skip to 3067. Then we can haz madcats, CW, and IS mechs that aren't crap compared to Clan mechs :)
