Just wondering if MWO will be the first of all MechWarrior (battletech), computer games to implement four legged mechs like the scorpion, goliath, and others. Just the though of Scorpions running around capping, scouting, along with goliaths behind them. Are they in the plans, or just a dream?

[TheGreatNoNo]

Just a dream, you crazy crazy person.

Unfortunately MW:O will not have four legged mechs.

PGI has answered it in one of their "Ask the Devs" topics, the answer was a short but clear: "no"

I feel this sentiment too....

BUT on the other hand the also gave a clear "NO" to Coolant as well, so i wouldn't write it off completely....

I just won't hold my breath on it happening soon... Or even in the forseeable future for that matter... Much as I'd like to see them in-game as well...

Maybe in three or for years time...

Give me scorpionok pls

I thought they said Not at this time.

If it happens, it won't be happening for a long, long time.

[DrSecretStache]

Man. I'd love to see the Tarantula. Probably isn't going to happen though.

[TungstenWall]

As people have already said, it is very unlikely

I dont think they said "No, there will never be quads", but they did say that it is VERY unlikely and not to hold your breath. Not to expect quads to ever be added.

There is the possibility, but not anytime soon. Maybe a few years down the road, they will have quads added with some major patch (expansion).

Weren't there 4 legged mechs in the mods for MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries?

[MoonUnitBeta]

Really wish there would be the tarantula..... *leans back and lets out a long hopeful sigh*

[Commander Kobold]

They'd be cool, but wouldn't a 4 legged mech be rather slow? like AT-AT/atlas slow?

Tarantula can go at a mind blowing 130kph (172.8 kph with MASC), and it could have jumpjets equipped.
just think of that...
THINK OF IT.

OHHHH I WANT IT.

But:
This is basically the Spider 5V:
ZPH-3A - A variant that looks to increase the Tarantulas life span in an engagement, the 3A removed the Medium Lasers and the Streak SRM-2 launcher, as well as one jump jet. The weapons are replaced with a pair of Medium Pulse Lasers. The 'Mech uses the additional free weight to add two tons of armor, increasing its protection to six and a half tons of armor. BV (1.0) = 631, BV (2.0) = 702^[4]

http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Tarantula

lol, but it'd still be awesome to be creepy crawling around... I'd peel off those jump jets, throw in something faster, throw in masc, DHS, endo, ferro, more lasers, bap, ecm, command console, artemis w/e it doesn't matter it needs everything.

It's all right. They also answered, with definite and permanent resolution, that Coolant Flush would never, "EVER" be in the game. A couple months later and they're introduced! Ask the Devs really isn't a reliable information source for any kind of permanent design decisions.

[ShadowDarter]

anyways the way PGI has stated it, time line wise that its a 1 for 1 deal so the Goliath wont be out until 2023 at the earliest im not sure about other quad mechs but my guess is that only after 3060,s that they are used if in only a minor way.

[Pariah Devalis]

I would love to eventually pilot a Stalking Spider but I fear PGI will not include QuadMechs. It would be an interesting alternative mech type to take, however. No torso twist, but the ability to side step.

[jakucha]

Devs have said they don't plan on adding any. If they do, it won't be any time soon.
