MechWarrior Online updates with Death's Knell, Bitching Betty
by Steve Watts, Jan 23, 2013 4:15pm PSTMechWarrior Online has updated with a familiar sound cue from the classic games, and a newly available Death's Knell mech in the MWO store. The "Bitching Betty" start-up sequence from the original games joins the female cockpit voice added to the game late last year to help replicate the experience for old-timers.
The Death's Knell mech, meanwhile, is a fast and agile machine with 176 armor and four medium lasers. It also serves as a money-making venture, and by "money" we mean "virtual MechWarrior currency." The Death's Knell gets a 30% C-Bill bonus, so you can use it to boost your cash a bit faster than you can in a standard mech.

MWO Dev's have said in the forums that the DX11 additions are coming soon. I would not pass judgement on the engine until they implement DX11. I think what they having going right now with DX9 is fantastic and once all those DX11 shaders are in place and SLI/Crossfire profiles are made the performance should be where a Crytek engine should perform.
