Of all things, they pick... that?

Wish they'd make IS Omnis. Want a Hauptman, Men Shen and Owens.

Doesn't matter. Every Mech on MWO is a essentially a Omni.  Just one just easier than another to change equipment out.

Hauptmann was announced, i'm sure there just getting ready to light that cigar of it's soon.

I don't care if MWO 'Mechs function like Omnis, that's no different from tabletop actually. Wasn't talking about that anyway.

Just specified i want Inner Sphere OmniMechs.

When was the Hauptmann announced anyway?


But Hellfire... man, it is really some bottom of the barrel stuff. Feels like that, anyway.
When it comes to Clan secondline 'Mechs, there are still missing IICs, like Warhammer IIC or Rifleman IIC, though i reckon that might because of the court case.
Or they could've added Stone Rhino or maybe Glass Spider. Or make a cross-faction 'Mech (when it comes to variants) with Ha Otoko.

Admittedly there aren't many interesting secondline Clan 'Mechs not already in the game, as i see them. Still, Hellfire is pretty low on the list IMO.

The Hauptmann has not had an announcement, neither have any of the other IS Omnis for that matter.  The latest IS Mechs to be announced have been the Flea and the Fafnir.

I thought they had while ago as a list of mechs coming out.  I guess i'm mistaken. Sorry guys.

The Hellfire announcement surprised me.  I'm also surprised that the other variants available aren't for the Lupus version.

Looks alright, like the Hellfire from TT, but meh...

Pass.

Guess I'm going to have to wait for the HG BS to be resolved to get anything I've been hoping for.
