The free update is overall far more appealing than the DLC.Īlso. I can't believe resources were wasted on an animated skin. Hell, we can't even get a BLaser (available in timeline and you'd just use a PPC or LL model for it) in MW5 and a MAD-4X or any other 3040s 'early advancement' variants, or proper Claws and a proper Crael. A few variants that will only be adding 'melee weapon hardpoints' I assume isn't that impressive of an addition, either. which some mods have already added in more 'true-to-rules' form. we can't have 'Swords 1-5' like we have 'MASC 1-5'?). Melee weapons restricted by weight class (all melee weapons have rules for any tonnage application. The only things really nice are the weapon models (probably to be added to other weight classes by modders), and the new biomes. Otherwise this seems like a pretty anemic DLC, considering the free update slated to release alongside it.

Personally I was looking forward to the Crusader even more than the Hatchetman, as there's already an excellent mod that added the Hatchetman to MW5 some time ago. :-DĮdited by Trystan Thorne, 14 April 2022 - 05:00 PM.Įxtremely disappointed to see that the Crusader isn't listed on what's being added to MW5 in this DLC, unless you're going to announce that you've got a plan to add more/future chassis to the game as mini dlcs. That's so NOT BattleTech, but I just don't have to equip it. The only thing I don't like is that animated paintjob. Would be a shame IMHO if this would be the last DLC for MW5. If the smaller sized DLC's mean we are to keep getting regular enough updates for MW5 in the future, then I am okay with that. Either way I will get it as more MW5 and more BattleTech is always welcome. Though DLC3 does feel a little bit smaller in size. I am a bit less hyped than for the Kestrel Lancers DLC, but it's hard to compete with the 4th Succession War vibe. Questline for Hatchetman sounds interesting too. Keen to see what the upgraded Starmap & Contract Screens look like. I wonder if this means that the DLC is actually out before the Crusader for MWO. I was hopin the Crusader would make it into the game DLC too, but oh well. HA, it certainly is a bit confusing to see a Black Knight and not the Hatchetman as the cover Mech.īut I guess PGI wants to show us that other Mechs can have melee weapons too.
