MWLL Advent Calendar - Door 06

We're closing in on the end of the first December week and so far, you've already seen 6 screenshots showing MWLL's current progress. Here is number seven.

As yesterday's comparison seemed to receive quite some appreciation, here is another one: the pride of the Inner Sphere, the Atlas assault 'Mech compared to a Clan light 'Mech, the Puma respectively Adder. Even though there is no gunfire visible, it seems quite unlikely that rumors of the Atlas pilot broadcasting Here's looking at you, kid through the radio are true. . .. .

First!

The Atlas head is growing on me.  I love that landscape, looks like it would be fun to maneuver through there!

Is the Puma too large or are my eyes tricking me?  Perhaps I overestimate the size of the Atlas.

Edit: lol, just got that.  "Play it again Sam."

That is one incredibly brave puma.
Natural, for a trueborn, of course.

Wow. This looks like a father-son scene, the little guy looking up at the big guy.

Puma: "Hi Daddy!"
Atlas: "SHUT THE **** UP YOU LITTLE BRAT!"

I think maybe you underestimate the size of the Adder.

In Battletech, there isn't as massive a difference in size between Lights, Mediums, Heavies and Assaults that previous MechWarrior games have led many people to believe.

Make something idiot-proof and they'll make a better idiot.

True. It never really was JUST the size, it was also the thickness of the armor, the armor type, etc.

Looks awesome! :D

So when is this actually out? Or has it not been disclosed yet?
Quote from: Ravir
In a groundbreaking new feature, MWLL will include a new gametype: MechRockerBandHeroKersplosion.  Pilots will smash the throttle to classic 80's speed metal using custom ethernet plugin to real guitars.  PPC's will be triggered by power chords, and LRM ammo is selected by playing one of 17 distinctive hammer-on rifts.  Get a teammate elemental to hop up on your mech's shoulder and throw up the horns, and with a hot duel you can deflect enemy fire BY THE POWER OF YOUR ROCK!

The screenie does really give a feeling of the Adder looking up to the Atlas... and I don't meen physicly. I mean in the sence of "I wish I will be as big as you one day!" kind of a way. :D

Or they had a "moment" as their eyes meet on the battle field. :D

So you're suggesting the quote in my announcement didn't ring any bells? ;)

For those of you who haven't figured it out, its from Casablanca.  If you haven't seen Casablanca you FAIL.
