Been playing since November now and just wanted to show my support to Piranha for keeping MechWarrior alive. Although i know most of us would love to see a singleplayer more than anything, this is still great. I'm 18 and grew up on my fathers Battletech books, along with all the Mechwarrior titles. This game has come along way, i remember not being able to even follow a light mech, let alone be able to land a shot on it. This community is amazing, and the free online format is the best. Not like planetside 2, or the warface beta key i just got. So a HUGE thanks to you guys, and i hope the game doesn't take a turn for what we all fear, but i understand the studio all have familes to feed and roofs to put over heads. Great work guys. Anyway, for anyone who actually sat threw and read this, if you could choose one mech from each weight class to put in the game, what would it be??

My opinon:
Light: Firefly
Medium: Bushwacker!!!
Heavy: Thor
Assault: Annihilator to go up against those damn Atlas face to face:p

I would trade my Atlas D-DC for this. Annihilator also sounds nice, but realistically with the hardpoint system we have we'd be able to mount 4 Gauss rifles which is considered OP (60 point Alpha, no heat).

Imagine the chain reaction explosions once you get past the armor though~ it's like automatically having 20 less internals in 4 locations.

Pop goes the Assault mech.

Firefly, Another mech i liked but its just a touch smaller then the Jenner really
Bushwacker, I want it as well but too early, comes in at 3053
Thor, clan mech I'd say we will see it eventually
Annihilator, Not fussed but its a classic, as is the rest of them from MW3

As long as the Daishi comes first. Clanner tears are soo soo sweet ...
And thumbs up to your thread overall. Althought the current MM has frustrated me to the point where I have stopped playing, I'd say everything else is pretty good, or coming along nicely.

My opinon:
Medium: Bushwacker!!!

Never liked the Bushwacker when I first picked up a mechwarrior game, don't know why (perhaps it's the Roman nose, or short man syndrome, who knows...) Instantly I realised the error of my ways.
Then again (shameful truth coming) I never liked the Urbanmech. Then I picked up Battletech TT, and.. and...

So yeah, list time: (excluding unseen/reseen and clans... ******** I miss the warhammer)
Light: Urbanmech
Medium: Hollander II
Heavy: Archer (retrofit that sucker into a ghetto Vulture, get that clan salvage feel)
Assault: King Crab

Why King Crab?


THAT'S why, female dog!

While that is indeed awesome, I would prefer the KRAKEN!

I approve your taste in battlemechs, but it is still not the King.

True, true, and the artist impressions of the King above... just wow. But, speaking as a scientist, the Kraken has an abnormally high dakka/tonnage ratio. It's above 9000 or some such.

Proof of new mechs to be released confirmed (also half life 3)

[TygerLily]

What up Frye!

Well if unseen aren't off the table (pun intended):

Light: Wasp or Panther
Medium: Phoenix Hawk

SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE THE OCTOPUS!

[Robert Graham]

Completely IS no Clan:

Light; Wolfhound or Urbie.. come on while I'd love a few other, the walking Bin is an Icon.. and the Wolfhound is an icon of THIS time set.. given who piloted it and the fact it lead to the Clans creating an entire OMNIMECH around it.

Medium: I'll go with the O.P Bushwacker

Heavy: Hrrmmm hard one there is sooo many nice heavies.. but I'd say the Axeman, along with bringing in Physical attacks at the same time, why? Because the Axe is another Icon of battletech.

Assault: The DVS-1 Devistator, only problem here is there are only 2 known Variants of it unless you pull from the Novels.
