When you have giant megaton Mechs stomping around a field of battle in MechWarrior Online you need equally large maps. The team over at Piranha Games know this and they have created Alpine Peaks with majestic mountains, snow capped peaks and grand valleys to plan your most epic of flanking maneuvers. There’s a few more updates as well to the game like five variants of the Trebuchet Mech, at fifty tons it’s sure to be a hit, and there’s also Phase III of Match Making debuting where players are matched based on skill and Mech class. Be sure to head on over and check out the mountain ranges before they have giant laser scars and burned out Mech carcasses littered through out them.
