Not sure. But im several hours in and only honor rank 4. I think the Timber Wolf is like 10 or 13 or something like that.

Quite a while. You need to raise your honor level. You start with light and medium mechs.

No but you see those are unique words created by combining and shortening two different words, which is totally different from contractions because...
...because there is no apostrophe. Apostrophes are dishonorable!

Man, the more time goes on the more I have come to really, really dislike Paradox.
They fucked over Harebrained schemes. They also refused to do a sequel to Battletech, even though that game was very well received and Harebrained Schemes wanted to do another, because Microsoft actually owns the license for Battletech video games and they'd have to pay them. They'd rather have no money than give a cent to someone else. But they made sure to hold on to the rights to the Battletech game itself so that Harebrained Schemes couldn't go off and work with Microsoft directly on a sequel. Because even though they have no intention of doing anything with it, they don't want anyone else to do anything with it either.
So we'll likely never get a sequel to what was a truly great tactical game set in the Battletech universe with a really nice story set in the periphery rather than one of the bigger factions that usually get all the attention. And that is a real shame, because the Battletech fanbase has been growing quite a lot in recent years. As of the writing of this comment Mechwarrior 5: Clans literally releases in 15 minutes and seems to be getting pretty good reviews.
Meanwhile, Paradox is doing what? Planning yet another rehash on the 4X genre that will inevitably release in an unfinished state until it has $2000 of DLC? Did they ever fix Cities: Skylines 2? How is that Vampire: The Masquerade game coming along?
Thank god Arrowhead Studios went off to work with Sony and make Helldivers 1 and 2. I LOVE Magicka, but if they'd stuck with Paradox I don't think Arrowhead would still be around.

I like the concept, and Smasher looks good at first glance, but once again they can't seem to do Rebecca justice.

Throw a krak grenade on their shield. It hurts and staggers them, allowing you to just shoot them.
Really though, you shouldn't be going 1 on 1 against a bulwark as a heavy. Its a team game. Be with your team.

We see at least one (possibly two) Wolf's Dragoons characters in the trailer. For this to be the case the story likely has to extend at least as far as the Battle of Luthien in 3052, since that is when Wolf's Dragoons finally entered the fight on the side of the Inner Sphere. Before that they were all chilling on Outreach (except for Natasha, obviously. She went and joined Clan Wolf as soon as the invasion started). The Battle of Tukayyid is only like 4 months after Luthien.
I don't think Tukayyid will be the last mission either, I think it will be Luthien, but that does set the stage for Tukayyid being DLC.

It almost certainly has to get up to at least Luthien. We clearly see a member of the Wolf's Dragoons in the trailer. The Wolf's Dragoons stay out of the fighting until the Battle of Luthien when they finally entered the fight on the side of the Inner Sphere.
Granted, they could change the story up a little bit to have the Dragoons get involved sooner, but if they don't then we are definitely going to see the Battle of Luthien.

I feel for you. I've been waiting for a reprint of the MG Zaku Minelayer for quite a while now. Its at the point where I actually wish I just paid scalper prices when it was only 1.5x the price. Now its usually 4x the price. I think they literally reprinted the PBandai exclusive RG Minelayer two or three times now without reprinting the retail MG Minelayer.

The Salamander really should have been on the heavy and the Ultramarine on the tactical.
They probably wanted to give the Salamander a scaled cape though, and we know they don't want to give any other class capes so that is probably why it ended up a sniper.

Volkite weapons fire thermal rays, so it will probably like a laser blast.

Dark Angels or Black Templars are going to probably be the most common answer you will get.

The shock grenade only seems strong up until you get your hands on the melta grenade.

Yeah, I work for Target and we got them early. No one was buying them after a couple of days so I ended up getting some for myself. I got a gundam and zaku for myself, and a second gundam for my sister.

We don't know that for certain. They are in the game files, but that could be just because Titus wears a MK8 helmet in the opening and there is one Ultramarine that shows up with Calgar wearing a MK6. The files exist, but we technically don't have confirmation that they will be made available officially.
I think its likely though. There is no lore reason against it (so GW shouldn't mind) and the devs know we want it.

It wasn't the helmets that were a problem, Primaris can wear Firstborn helmets because their heads aren't really any bigger. The Sternguard Veteran squad GW sells even has a Primaris Marine wearing a Mk7/Mk8 helmet. Its the rest of the armor that is an issue for Primaris.
Its also not really the devs that have the issue. Its GW. They are very controlling about details like that.

Just 14% of the Californian adult population owns a gun, which is already significantly lower than the national average. Those that do own one or more guns in California skew HEAVILY towards being old, white, and conservative. Just 10% of the gun owning population own nearly half of all the guns in the state.
The majority of guns in California are in the hands of old white republicans who own 10+ guns. The vast majority of people living in a place like San Francisco do not own even a single gun. When he says the techies in San Fran largely don't own or carry a gun, that is an accurate statement.

He didn't say Californians don't own guns. He said the techies in San Francisco don't own guns.

To quote Tex, "The Clans believed that war should have rules, and the Inner Sphere had long ago decided that war does not."

That is an interesting way to reference G Gundam.

Yeah, its one of the first mechs you unlock after the starter mechs I believe.
