improvised melee weapon in an Atlas's hand does same damage as an AC20

so it's got a thrustmaster setup

there's a window on the right side that shows you have a giant box on the robot's shoulder

and you sit so far back just so you can see a bunch of MFDs that tell you nothing important

omg so real

> equip mech pilots with augmented reality helmets fed by camera arrays from all around the mech's body
> change the cockpit's location to somewhere deep inside the mech
> gain 360° FOV, better situational awareness and increase pilot survivability

Every mech thing ever just uses monitors and not glass

I bet it's space glass

i think the Stalker just has a porthole in the front

If they didn't have glass canopies how would players know they are choppers with legs

well the glass cockpits in Dougram were kind of a stylistic choice that invoked walking choppahs

especially with them rocket pods

one of the early designs for the Dougram itself had the head detach as a little flying VTOL thing

it's great how they mutated the Destroids into having glass cockpits like when they turned the Tomahawk's obvious face into a canopy due to bad tracing

how many "original" humanoid designs just have generic black shades that i guess is supposed to be transparent

shitty printing technology in the 80's was not kind to shitty artists

everything has to be capable of being xeroxed because the TRO's don't give you enough info to make your own stat sheets by hand

to be honest I think the bleedin Lunar Module has a better field of view

hey Stark

check out these robots from Gungriffon

vintage 1996

Gungriffon Blaze is one of the first PS2 games I ever had and one of my favorite ever!

I liked the Saturn games more but I appreciated the silly robot viewing mode

A robot running around a house was apparently Gameart's first working demo for the original game

yay I beat MW4 Mercs

the biggest challenge in the last level was coaxing my lancemates into sticking together when attacking because the map fucks with their pathfinding

really guys

so the beta is up

some guys on /m/ are posting 'bout it

So I'm running a Jenner with 6 flamers. This shit is so ridiculous.

I 1v1'd a Atlas and two catapults and killed all three of them.

:troll:

Is the game as boring as expected, or is it actually worth looking in to?

I dunno we linked a bunch of trailers in the thread and articles and shit

looks like MW4 Mercs again

meh. If I want to play something like that for whatever reason, i'll just re-install Mercs.

i know. i just have this sick fascination with how long Battletech and MW are trying to hang onto novelty and keep up the blinders in their game design

that is high larious

The genre is defined by the franchise with the fewest games that made the fewest contributions

so i hear Gundam is like the FASA Battletech series now?

did you make that video

it's not my birthday

i didn't make it i just found it and wanted to share
