Perhaps instead of AI turrets protecting your base, you have stationary Urbies that can be taken out?

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have it in the game. Hell, I want the game's entire stable (well, almost). But given PGI's limited resources, and how long it takes to create a new mech, I'd rather see them make other things. Yes, ha ha you created an urbanmech, but it's only entertaining as long as people drive it. If it's released and then nobody ever takes it because it's not fun to get wrecked over and over, then it was a bad release.

Loving Megaman's buster on that right arm. I love the assassin's torso (in original art and even more so on your interpretation) it's just a shame the weapons loadout is such turdis (a flying **** that's even bigger on the inside). Dat speed, though... mmmmmmmmmmmmm...
I vote this mech to replace the blackjack.

So, PGI can spend our money and their time on something usefull (like bug fixes, balancing, etc.) or they can design pretty much useless, horrible and ugly mech.

TLDR: NO

Urbanmech would be very useful. It teaches pilot skill how to turn disadvantages to your advantage. Rather then rely on point and click missles or simple one weapon boats.

Anyone who can pilot an Urbanmech can pilot anything. In the long run this is more likely the endgame mech rather then some EASYMODE mech.

Anyone who hates urbie has alot of skill only urbie could teach. Alien concepts like......taking cover, are best taught by Urbanmech.

I could take a ATLAS pilot put him in a URBANMECH for a month, he's going to return a much more deadly atlas pilot then before.

Someone who lifts weights and wants to bulk up I suppose adds more weight rather then takes it off.

See URBANMECH comes with something. For one mech its bigger guns, for another its faster speed, better stealth, greater accuracy ect.

Urbanmech comes with something other mechs don't have...... DEADLY PILOTS. :(

Another poll revision? This is starting to feel like a Teralitha thread... ;)


PS - Next round of revisions ('cause at this point further revision is a foregone conclusion) could "Do you wan't Urbie in the Game?" be changed to "Do you want Urbie in the Game?"

y'know, as long we're updating things left and right anyway... :(

Sorry, none of those drawing look at all close enough to a trashcan.

But keep trying.

Bishop,

I'd trade every mech I got for any of those Urbanmechs. I like version 2 and cop urbie. :(

I suspect I know why there are so many against Urbie in the game...
It's simple, they complain it will be a liability for the team its in... But they are basically afraid that, just an average pilot in Urbie can smash their fancy stalkers and other great invincible machines to the dust... and it will be just to cheesy to come here and shout on forums that Urban Mech is OP ;) B) :D :D
