I'm mega hyped, but will I be able to use a timber wolf?

This is the gold standard for battletech. Doubly so for mercs.

Die Clanner.

This game takes place before the arrival of the clans so no Timby.

Does anybody know the total number of mechs in the game?

If PGI did one thing right it's the mech designs. They look pretty great.

Was looking for this since Cohn's first Battletech video, looks very cool.

MWO isn't the greatest game ever or anything, but these days it's actually pretty cool.

Noice. I wonder if we might see the unseen mechs in a DLC update? Not having the Warhammer and Marauder available in a Battletech game feels so wrong.

I kinda wish there were a few extra lostech star league mechs, I always thought the Lancelot was pretty neat whenever it made an appearance.

In the meantime, we're down to single-digit days until Battletech. Please keep being excited.

I am extremely hype. I have even resorted to buying Far Cry 5 to pass the time which I'm not entirely sure was worth my money even with a 20% discount.

For context this was generally because the Clans quickly realized the spheroids had no actual warships left so it became pretty boring and not glorious at all

I thought the Lyrans had one left or something but it was some rusted junk barely working.

Yeah I hate to break it to you guys but 16 is the new 8 when it comes to memory these days and has been for a hot minute. Luckily sticks are pretty drat cheap.

E: Or at least I thought it was, checking Newegg whats with those inflated prices. Christ. I could have sworn when I built my PC about 18 months ago my 2 8gb sticks were like 80 bucks.

E2: 600 loving dollars for a 1070 I paid 300 for mine what is going on :psyduck:

Good lord I didn't know prices had gone haywire. Thank god I built my PC when prices were sane. I just checked my rig cost on PCpartpicker and it's gone from 1100 when I bought it to 1700 now :stare:. That's nuts.

So if I know literally nothing about Battletech will I be able to enjoy this game? I've just been looking at as another strategy game I could enjoy but am totally lost when it comes to the setting and story.

I dont see why not. The game from what I've seen does explain to you whats going on.

Yo clownshoes log back into your MWO accounts and stomp some robutts. You losers have nothing else to lose until Tuesday so might as well ride the mech nostalgia train straight to hell until then. Probably won't hurt that the game is actually pretty good these days.

Great, now people are going to know that if you unite all the lost legendary King Crabs at the long forgotten shipyard, Pride of Butte Hold, you'll open a castle brian that ushers in a new golden age for mankind and you be declare Grand Duke-Khan of the new reformed Star League.

The best part about the lore was when the Lyrans combined with the Federated Suns. I know it only lasted for a short time but that poo poo that was some Goku x Vegeta Fusion levels of awesome.

E: gently caress the combine. eh Gogeta is more appropriate.

Not yet. They will get hilariously owned in due time though. On Wolcott, and Luthien, and Tukyyaid. Oh and on their own world of Huntress as well.

Who owns Earth in all of this?

Comstar. They are a neutral power that maintains interstellar communications for the rest of the factions. HPGs are Lostech that only Comstar can maintain so the rest of the major powers defer to them when it comes to interstellar communications. They are very trustworthy and certainly have no ulterior motivations whatsoever! It's a very good idea to sign on with these paragons of honesty if you are a Merc outfit, what could go wrong! Also everyone should trust them, after all they are neutral!
