Infinite Game Publishing and Piranha Games have has released a major update for MechWarrior Online which brings a new colossal map named Alpine Peaks. The new map offers rising majestic ragged mountains and hills to vertical and horizontal firefights and a chance to really put those long-range weapons to use.

The massive content update also includes five versions of the medium weight BattleMech Trebuchet now available in the MechLab, that offers a potent blend of both long and short-range fire support: Fifty tons, 86 km/h, dual LRM-15’s with three medium lasers in reserve, the Trebuchet will hurl a veritable torrent of devastation before an enemy can even get close.

Also making its debut in this update is Phase III of MatchMaking. The Match Maker will form the best balanced match in terms of both skills and Mech classes of all players involved, and new cosmetic items allow you to proudly display your favorite house faction with Faction Holograms for your cockpit. Dominating the battlefield has never looked so good.
