while i give the Death´s Knell a pass...

the start up sequence is just a great thing to have, thanks for this... watching a frozen image while counting down was getting old fast... now add weapon grouping to the mechlab and i´m a very very happy panda :D

Ignore the negative comments. Looks great, and good job on netcode. Suffice it to say not all developers do the same thing, and I'm sure that resources were not taken off net code (or other good features) for this cool (but still cosmetic) update.

I expect weapon balancing will be handled when rear torso/damage transfer but, and netcode issues are ironed out. So you can see what you will really be dealing with. Still hoping to see a bit of an ecm nerf.

Its starting to get personality,

great Job, though i agree with some comments that ist could have been a more "Spheroid" like startup sequence.

Nevertheless great job!

Yeah. Looks realy nice.
Next they need to take away that Mechwarrior-combatsuit. As an option.
Isnt it that most Mechwarriors are fighting almost naked in there Mechs?
Cause of the heat and sweat.
Not important, but would nice feature.

I bet it is not going to be cool 50 drops from now, it will seem boring, repetitive and one more thing to reduce my actual play time.

Yes, an animation that plays during the countdown where you couldn't actually play totally takes away from your playtime :D

very useless, could use there time better like fixing the net code
implanting the new promised score board , new map, weapon balance, who dose actually care about a powering up/down sequence that you will see each match and get board really fast
what a wast of dev time

Yea, because animators make netcode. Oh no, wait, those are programmers.

Fist encounter with the startup animation for most of our members was like

"What the hell?" "OMG!" "Cool." "Great!"

You did a fine job there, Devs. Great for immersion. Thank you!

Forcing this will alienate certain crowds. Its better to allow users to select in video options whether or not this is a desired effect in the game.
