    Hello Everyone,

    Just some updates I thought I would bring forward to generate some discussion and excitement in the community here at mechspecs. First I would like to direct everyone over to a post made by ISN [here] which states that tomorrow (May 14th) there will be a bug fix finally for the HUD bug which has plagued the game for quite some time... hopefully no more interruptions by-WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

    Well that was weird. It seems ComStar still has some problems to deal with, hopefully that will all get fixed soon. Anyways the second post I would like to bring to attention is by Omid Kiarostami [Here] which says that the problem with the hunchbacks reticle is going to be fixed which is good... I don't know how many times I have accidently messed the paint up on an enemies CT when I was aiming for the LT...

    Finally we have some great images of some upcoming content:
    First - its Bryan Ekman with some more UI 2.0 update concepts

    Secondly - We have Bryan on Twitter sending out two sweet images.

    Thats the Blackjack using the new Cobra paint pattern. Might I say that the Blackjack looks awesome... but that paint scheme looks even better! Apparently according to Bryan - the Cobra paint also has an "awesome pearlescent effect like this."

    Well that is everything of interest this week so far that I have noticed, what are you guys most excited for? Is it the patch with the Blackjack, the new map Canyon, and a new camo that looks to be a pretty kickin' (thats what all the cool Spheroids are saying right guys?), or are you guys looking forward to something entirely else?

    Remember to buckle up before dropping,

    H-hello, Is this thing still on? It is? Good! Breaking News everyone!
    Bryan Ekman VIA Twitter "Missile host state rewind comes out next week. More to follow." This is very interesting indeed - definitely something to look forward too.

    Have been waiting for the Blackjack and am ready to give them a run. The WWWW bug seems awfully minor to warrant a patch tomorrow seeing how it has been relatively ignored since the beginning. One would think they would have just waited for the big patch next week. Can't wait for these texture bugs to be addressed. Building textures and rock textures on snow maps have always vanished but I recently had a 24 hour period where mech textures vanished. Nothing changed. No drivers updated no game updates. It never happened before and hasn't happened since. I can understand why some of these are still here as they seem fairly tricky.

    I think the HUD changes are for more than just the WWWW bug but rather a good number of HUD bugs - I just thought it would make a good joke.
