OMG NO SCREENSHOTS! THE GAME IS OVER AND WE'LL NEVER GET ANYTHING AGAIN!

[Vassago Rain]

The last time they didn't hype a new release was when the raven got delayed forever, because NARC and placeholder ECM item.

I sense great evil ahead.

Wouldnt' worry about it. We either get it tomorrow, (as expected) or we don't, and we get it later.

Personally, I'm more excited about a truly new map being available than a new mech.

The Treb should be a fun new ride, but likely not game changing.

I expect it will be here tomorrow about this time however. Would be interesting if there's an ECM carrying variant.

I hope that this new, larger map makes the need to quickly get into position more important for LRM carriers. MAybe this would make smaller, faster LRM carriers more useful. Mechs like the Trebuchet or the Hunchback 4J. Maybe we'd even see more Catapults used as LRM boats?

Hey, I can dream......

I get the feeling that the person/people who make the preview videos and screenshots is getting more and more overwhelmed with work because the schedule for these things has been coming out later and later. Either that, or the mechs aren't being finished until right before patch day.

I don't think the Pretty Baby preview came out until a day or two after it released.

Pretty sure they always do that with Hero Mechs, since, when you get down to it, a lot of them are just re-skinned mechs with slight retooling.

I've noticed this too. I was under the impression, when the Trebuchet was announced before the spider, that it was going to be released in January. They said in their February statement that they would be having bi-weekly patches, and it makes me a little upset when that's all the information we get. I'd like to see a little better communication with the gaming audience, even if it is news about a delay. My guess is that at this point, they still don't know if the Trebuchet is coming out tomorrow, which REALLY makes me nervous.

I don't think anyone cares about hero mechs, but people do care about the real, actual mechs. Another raven delay would be terrible.

Idk. Been asking for days and ive been a good kid lately

[Rina Fujimoto]

I've pretty much given up hope, Garth said that the Treb would be previewed some time tomorrow "soon".

They don't seem to understand that it's not a preview if its being released moments after.

Unless of course they were just stalling for time, or legit not even finished with the Treb which wouldn't surprise me since when the Stalker was previewed the model itself in the screenshot had unfinished textures 3 days from release.

Weren't you responsible for the Trebuchet in MW4?

My favorite ride in that game...looked awesome, limted engine and all.

Blood from a stone, that one. Drool-worthy and so many, many screen shots. Made a dream come true!

Always felt it should've been able to carry some/one electronic device(s), but meh, I did just fine on some of the tech restricted servers/campaigns...annoyingly so to my friends/enemies.

Very cool to see Warhammers, Marauders (my other fav...glorious), Shadow Hawks and other "original 3025" designs blazing away. Nicely done.

At this point, I know we have the final release art for older mechs but why not let Alex show us some more concept art for mechs beyond the first 4?
