PGI's newest video is so old men, I can feel the neuro helmets poking through the internet.

I guess it would be pretty lame to show people just lasering it from the hill

WHY ARE THEY NOT ROCKET FISTS? WHY ARE THE PODS ON THE SHOULDER?

Can't wait for the "4 borderline unkillable large laser sniper locusts in every game" meta

ERPPC's and LRMS for maximum hit and fade potential.

Catapult legit smaller than a 45 ton medium.

My battlenet ID?

Harabec#1427

cata confirmed new meta

someone post a screenshots of new lights please thank you very much famalan

45 ton medium is bigger than an ASSAULT MECH

Ok I don't know why they decided to give the best quirks to the HGN-IIC C and less to the other variants, but I'm really liking the increased manouverability. It actually handles real smooth now.

where are my pictures you faggots

Great the locust is now 10x the cancer any other light ever was. Here comes the shit.

log in and do it yourself you doublenigger

fuck off pussy bitch you wanna fight me?

Good thing I love my Locusts, cos it's time to go be a dick to the new generation of fatties.
Locust swarm go time!

Comparison of Light Mechs. From left to right, Jenner, Jenner IIC, Firestarter, Panther, Owens, Wolfhound, Locust.

Whoa, man, I didn't even realize they'd added the owens! Is that new for this patch? Really detailed for a 2016 mech.

>clanners with laryngitis
>nuclear longtoms
>reusing transverse dropships

Sugoi PGI.

Holy shit the new frozen city is HORRIBLE

The other side has an enormous advantage with a whole map wide sniper perch with cover and shit.

Can anyone tell me

In all seriousness

What the fuck did they do to the minimap and why is this shit worse looking and more useless than the old one?

What was wrong with it?

What did they try to do there?

What is this shit?

One day, Russ sat down and played world of tanks, and then he instantly decided that his game should have the same kind of minimap.

This is a true story.

>We're changing the shitmap that is Frozen City
>THANK GOD
>HAHA YOU IDIOTS WE MADE IT EVEN WORSE

Both sides have sniper perches with cover, what

It's now the Whale Memorial, didn't you know that?

No but

no

I mean you can shit on everything else PGI has done

But they had one (1) working feature that is stompy robots shooting at each other with a (working) gameplay

And the change to the minimap is a pretty big deal to it.

It's shit, can't tell where the fuck are you going, can't tell the terrain layout, can't tell the allies facing, can't tell where they are with precision, and can't tell anyone with clear grasp what the enemy is doing anymore

It's the biggest fuckup i've ever seen in a single update. Because it didn't need a remake, and the remake IS WORSE IN ALL WAY SHAPE AND FORM.

Like I said, Russ was inspired by that one time he played world of tanks.

That's all there's to it.

Why do i have to see the half the planet on the fucking map i need while doing combat?

Strategy is for the big map.

wtf is wrong with those devs.

>Information Warfare
>Removes tons of Information

What did he mean by this?

...

So is the catapult good now that it's smaller?

Should I stick to saving up for a Mad Doge or just buy a Catapult?

alright that's it

That's it

Phase 3 was stupid bad but didn't made me unninstall

But the minimap crapping out is too much

I can't believe how very incompetent these canadians are. People told me and didn't listen

The
fucking
minimap

I'm out. I can't.

Submarine 1V reporting, can't see a shit.

Golden

I'm surprised you stayed this long. Move on.

>another well meaning suggestion ruined by being drowned out by CBT retards spamming Russ on twitter missing the whole fucking point of the change to begin with
>"M-MUH SCALING BY VALUE SO IT CAN MATCH TO TT! S-SO LORE FRIENDLY! THE WOLFHOUND IS SUPPOSED TO BE HUGE IN LORE! :^) 10/10 PATCH!"

THANKS RETARDS.

Just use your minimap ya dingus - oh...

Catapult from out of nowhere.

>Jenner literally the same size as the catapult
>Wolfhound, panther, and Fireshitter are all almost the size of the old hunchback
>somehow the locust is allowed to get even smaller and even more obnoxious

what the fuck

But now you have ALL the information at once.

The whole inner sphere inside your cockpit.

Every time I drive past a manlet on a Grom I laugh tbqh senpai

Also I just realized as of this patch all the assets in the game will be fucked due to the rescaling. I'm gonna have to back up the build of the game and then I'm going to have fun looking at how even more out of scale shit is now.

I sincerely doubt anyone can even fit in the Locust now.

Clearly, Information Warfare is a war on info.

This is very good at helping you know nothing, thus a Russ Success.

Boy I sure can't wait to play with these new models on top of a table because that's the only thing they're good for now.

That reminds me. You should be invincible while underwater. Be sure to abuse the hell out of it.

It's just a prank bro.

It's even spouting LRMs.

Personally i prefer the mad dog, it looks better, has a clan xl engine, and can carry good backup weapons with its missiles, but both mechs are good.

>implying your scooter is better
Groms are the best thing to happen ever

At this rate, they'll rename it the Guppy.

Dog is good in everything except armor.

Your side torsos explode the moment you see the enemy

It bitty titty commitee, also Tiny weenie nova

>That reminds me. You should be invincible while underwater. Be sure to abuse the hell out of it.
Oh god I forgot about that shit

>some retard on HPG posting screenshots of a bunch of single player game minimaps to "give everyone perspective" on the map changes
>one of them is a fucking screen shot of the Muv-Luv VN listed as "Armored Core 5"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>seismic now covers .02% of the minimap
>catapult is now miniscule
I don't know what to think
is my founder's cat semi-viable again?

From the looks of it you're better off with the Butterbee. How are they balancing the 4 missile, and 4 energy hard points?

Guys, i think my game broke

There's a Pac Man running on my HUD where the map used to be

Dev placeholder maybe? or is it an old april fools joke?

They gave it much shittier quirks than the others.

The Nova is actually fun to play now. Its so small and it feels like you're moving faster.

>They gave it much shittier quirks than the others.

That's all I saw from the release information.

>no quirks
>4875 MC
I just realized I also have a jester.

They really didn't, but since no one has bought MC in years, there aren't any butterbees running around yet.

Literally zero butterbees seen so far.

Haven't seen one in the wild yet but the other Cats do have somewhat better quirks

I've seen one BB

It has quirks. You only get missile velocity on the Butterbee. The other Catapults have a few more 5-10% ones for missile cooldown, energy cooldown, and energy range. It's a direct upgrade to the Catapult C1.

The problem with the Catapult isn't the missile velocity or the cooldown of the LRM racks. It was always the heat dissipation. The original Catapult C1 quirks had Energy Heat Generation quirks but they removed them in favor of lobbing more missiles down range and overheating the Mech faster.

It really pisses me off that the C1 doesn't have Missile Heat Generation on it. The Energy Heat Generation quirk was acceptable.

Forgot my picture.

wtf man

I expected Tetris. I guess Russ prefers Pac-Man.

this game would be improved drastically by this change

Tetris version please.

YOU DONT EVEN FUCKING PLAY THIS GAME

ALL THE PLAYERS HAVE TO FUCKING DO THIS SHIT THEMSELVES

THEY DONT MANAGE SHIT
WHAT DO THEY DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>in the coming months

Are those people fucking retarded?

WTF IS WRONG WITH THEM

Whatever, its the dev that needed 4 years to buff flamethrowers, machine guns and lbx and they still suck

>make mech
>sell mech for price of full game
>...
>profit
they are laughing at us

Atleast the Shitlander is a Decentlander now.

The Huelander eye eye c was also decent, just to slow to do anything.

...

WHAT DO THEY DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I played a few matches last year. It's amazing how the game doesn't change beyond "buy more Mech Packs."

>niggerknight size of a skyscraper
>all IS lights minus the locust are too
>nigger sphere assaults all got nerfed
>kodiak now has decent hitboxes
>warcuck and daishi are smaller

Freebirth scum got totally fucked this patch.

The added mobility and the health buffs make it like several times more durable than it was before. It's greased lightning and built like a brick shithouse compared to pre-patch.

I'm so fucking mad right now.

The minimap was your feet and eyes on the game. There's no reason for this to have been changed, and into such an ugly scheme of colors and icons and everything.

It's all fucked up. Everything's fucked up.

I keep running into level 18 zombies that kill me instantly.

Anyone know what grid to go to for the iron sword or some gold so I don't lose my level everytime I die?

WHAT IN GODS NAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

WHAT DO THEY DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Shit is literally unplayable right now. I know the maps by heart but I can't control my mech without the minimap telling me my orientation.

I guess I'll just go back to playing overwatch, since it was foolish of me to think PGI could ever do anything right.

kek

I gotta say, the Frozen City Redux looks amazing. They're using the game engine finally to its higher degree.
