MechWarrior Online BattleMech Profile: Centurion

The CN9-A Centurion is the latest war machine to be profiled on the official MechWarrior Online website, and it serves as yet another reason to appreciate the arsenal carried by this medium class 'mech.
The CN9-A Centurion isn't about any one thing, it's about every thing. AC/10? Check. LRM-10? Check. Two Medium Lasers? Check. There's no area of weapons this baby is bad at you've got the LRM-10 to chew .m up at range - and believe me, ten long range missiles can ruin your day fast, am I right guys? then your AC/10 reaches out and slugs .m upside the head, then if they make it through that they get two medium lasers in the face at close range, with that AC/10 still kickin'. In short, there's pretty much no-where you can be that this baby can't and won't hit you. And just look at it. It's tall, but lean. It's like an ancient, armoured warrior. Sure it's a little slow, but wouldn't you be slow if you had that kinda weaponry? And it's got that awesome helmet, am I right here guys? That alone makes you want to strap in and kick some Jenner's around. There's a reason this thing even though it's a medium '˜Mech has always been a force in Solaris matches.

It's got heart guys, and that's not easy to see right away, is it? '˜It's just a machine, how could it have heart?' I hear you saying. But look at it. And look at its history. Yen-lo-wang, that famous of famous '˜Mechs, absolutely wrecked the circuit when Justin Xiang-Allard was at the helm. Good guy, great pilot! The Centurion though, it's just so. it's regal guys, it's a knight in gleaming armour waitin' to charge a dragon. Or a Mercenary, whatever. To sum up, the Centurion has a long and storied history not just here on Solaris VII, but all across the inner sphere. It's ancient, it's cool, and guys, I love it. And I think you will too.
