After a rocky start when the Test Server hamster couldn't handle everyone trying to log in and redeem their Clan Mechs, the fun began. A lot of fun. Clan mechs are different and powerful, but they are not over powered as many people, including myself, feared they would be.
Of course, the real test is going to be on Tuesday, June 17 when everything goes live and a few weeks have passed. Even though most of the mechs I ran into yesterday were Clanners, the Inner Sphere mechs did not seem to be overwhelmed or lacking at all when fighting them.
PGI has done an excellent job modeling the mechs and the changes to the Clan weapons are great with the Clan machine guns probably taking the best sound effects award and the Clan missiles taking the visual effects award.Of course, the best thing is perhaps the way we can customize the Clan mechs via Omnipods. The possibilities are exciting.
I'm really looking forward to Tuesday when we can play and build the Clan mechs for real. If you would like to see some actual game footage, check out my five hour Twitch recording here.
