MechWarrior Online
I think this is the patch that gets me into Mechwarrior Online. First up, it looks like proper joystick support is finally in. Throttle support, analog turning, and more have been added so now it's time to bust out those flight setups and try it out.
A new mech enters the fray as the Jagermech has been added for Mechwarriors to use. Tourmaline Deset is a new map that's been added. It's a large map that should challenge players in the game.
?Customizations get a little boost with some new skins and some statues.
?This patch sounds like it adds some really cool stuff so expect me to be in the game soon. At last, I should be able to pilot a mech like it was meant to be.

New User Controls and Joystick Improvements
Think Different! For both novice and veteran MechWarrior pilots, we’ve added some fantastic new optional control options designed to get you racking up BIG scores and rewards. Several new control systems and improvements have been added, including Throttle Decay (gas pedal vs set throttle), Arm Lock to Torso, Joystick Analog turning and more!
Players will also be able to fully customize their key bindings via the Pause Menu during matches. We think this will make a MAJOR difference, especially for new players still finding their ‘Mech feet’. For more details click here!
The Jagermech Has Been Unleashed!
The award for `Mech of the Month’ goes to the JagerMech! Similar to the beverage with the same name, the JagerMech will cause irreversible damage... to your enemies. Ballistics fans, THIS is your BattleMech! BOOM! BOOM! DAKKA! DAKKA! It’s seriously fun so pick one up in the MechLab today and enjoy delivering the carnage! Read more here.
New Map: Enter the Tourmaline Desert
One of MechWarrior Onlines’ largest maps yet! This hostile alien world will test the skills of the best MechWarrior pilots, with it’s incredible canyons and scorching temperatures. Like Alpine Peaks, players will need to change their overall strategies, focusing on offense and defense along with bringing in a balanced BattleMech build. Quite easily our most visually striking map we’ve yet made. Enjoy!!
