ya know, if i had a mech, i'd put LOTS of big lights on it. Not saying I'd fight with them on, or travel through a dark city, necessarily, with them on, but perhaps.

just seems a pretty primitive thing, ya know, lights. i mean sure we have night vision, but wouldn't some bright lights jack up your opponents night vision? and yours as well, it'd have to be an either or thing for yourself, it would also fight someone your fighting to make the decision to switch from night vision to lamps.

maybe lights would be too annoying and graphically heavy? lore masters? did these mechs not have lights? big arse fog lights or somethin? or did they always use only thermal and nightvision?

PGI said it is not on the radar, but a possibility in the future.

off the table... sorry dude.

Too bad Warhammer ain't here. That thing got a massive headlight.

[Straften]

I like the idea.

[LordDante]

thats what u Need! a stravag christmastree on ur mechs head, so everybody knows where u are

Would love to have lights on my mech, adds a whole new dynamic to the night matches. People would complain, but well not my problem if your blind and I'm unloading on you. If I get blinded, well I guess I should learn to not run straight into my opponent.

as long as you can turn it on and off people in battlefield 3 like the flashlight. even if its not bright and wide enough to blind a pilot, it could make it difficult to target specific components and weapons, which wouldn't take a lot with all the visuals going on during battle

I think this is a very cool idea. Shouldn't lasers light up the areas a lot more than they do now anyway. Just put a wider focus lense on a small laser and theres your flashlight

I would like light flare launchers. This would probably be graphically easier for the game to handle, plus be a generally more usable tactic.

While we're at it, also smoke cannister launchers, and probably heat field launchers.

Lasers are my flashlight.

Tactically efficient for seeing that ally in front of you.

While we're on the subject of things modern vehicles have and mechs don't, when will the IS rediscover rear and side view mirrors?

Or camera's, I get that they could be destroyed in combat...but come on. Your telling me that a piece of equipment that expensive doesn't have a backup cam? I had a rear-mounted thermal cam on the MRAP I drove in 2011, 1500 years in the future...CAMERAS ARE TOO ADVANCED!!!
