That's right, in under three weeks Mechassault will have what everyone has been waiting for:
The two new mechs, the Loki and its variant the Hellbringer, are powerful beasts that can stand toe-to-toe with the Atlas and possibly even the Ragnarok. And the Hellbringer comes with extra goodness in the Flamer gun, which offers some major burn damage.
The newest MechAssault downloads, available in three weeks time, will include some upgrades to the overall MA online experience. Now when a game is finished, instead of being kicked to the general lobby, all players will be brought back into a game lobby. This way you can keep playing with the same people, but change up the game modes and options any way you like. Also, whenever someone talks, their name will now flash onscreen, so you can see if it's actually your own teammate crying for an assist. Good job.
Till now, voice seemed an option in MechAssault as many battles online are dead silent. But everyone became quite vocal during CTF and I'm pretty sure this game mode will open up the lines of communication and smack talk a bit more.
In the end, Capture the Flag is looking damn fine. The new mechs are cool and the game upgrades are greatly appreciated. Anyone who owns MechAssault will want to look for the new content (scheduled to release in about three weeks). After all, it's free. Anyone who doesn't have MA yet, may want to change their tune thanks to the added gameplay options. And best of all, there's still more downloadable content to come.
TWO new maps for CTF will also be available with this D/L.
