Nice! Talk about a classic silhouette!

Looks alot more like a Timber Wolf should too, Mw4\3 gave it a really fat cockpit, made it look kinda like a loaf, it looks real mean now though!

If there was hills the Catapult might win but since his jump jets are useless out in the open i think this one goes to the clan.

That was my first impression, showdown at sunset.

Pretty cool shot

I agree, classic showdown, question is, it high noon at the OK Corral, or 20 paces, turn and fire?  

One question for the Devs, any chance if two Mechs were to square off like this and agree to one shot each that one or the other could be taken out with a single head shot?

As much as I have experimented in game with head shots there are so many variety's of Mechs it is hard to tell that sweet spot for a head shot. I know I have shot an Atlas in the head several times for instance and seen the face blackened from the blast but to little effect. I would love to see a technical diagram of each Mech and the head shot and other critical areas, on each Mech.

I do remember a classic moment burned into my memory from playing MW back in the day of being online in a Summoner which was kicking butt with every mech I took on and I found myself in a showdown position like this from just out of my weapons range. A little overconfident, and with a completely damage free mech  I waited for a moment for the other mech to move into range as I lined up my shot, then I saw a little green laser flicker, my windshield cracked, and I was history. He got a single clean head shot probably from an extended range laser and completely took out my mech. It didnt matter that I lost, I had to give him credit as he obviously had this shot down and was owning the field with it. I have always wanted to be able to duplicate that moment, of course being on the winning side...

poor catapult......support mechs aren't good up close with a front line machine....though one time in cbt i  lured an enemy mech over a hill with only my one catapult left and when he bridged the crest i blasted him with everything i had left. i actually won that round. ah, good times. ;D

Heh!! more clanner propaganda by the looks of it!!  >:(

An Atlas would be a fair fight, that little Catapult has about half the fire power of that Timby.

Seriously though, a great atmos shot :)

In MW4, facing the Atlas, I believe the cockpit was on the right eye (or from the Atlas's perspective, the left).

In MWLL I don't think a single shot from anything can take you down even if right in the head (2 lbx 20 close range tho...). In MW4 me and this guy just agreed to stand and take turns shooting at the face of each others Atlas's. I am not 100% but I think there were no instant kills there either. It always seemed to go blinking red and 0 armor on the damage indicator. Don't remember the version though.

Very nice! Just you and me, a flat plain, and pistols at sunset. May the best shooter win.
