I would love this. It would certainly make things interesting. Though the trial mechs only thing would suck with just 4 mech types

The final game now also got Subtitles!

Point of view from the 331st Royal Battlemech Division




As comparison, the same game from the point of view of our enemies

I think their video should also soon have subtitles

stock mechs with weapon and electronics locked = House Factions.
(able to confige heat sinks ammo and whether or not to have AMS)
(Elite units granted rights to upgrade structure armor with severe limits)

+

Unlimited customizations = Merc Corps

+

Clans = both somehow

=

Community warfare



not trying to derail thread, just wondering how people feel about this.

Really? Stock mechs in House Vs House sounds like a blast. In particular in light of Project Phoenix.
Don't get me wrong, playing Clan Omnis with all the variables is something to dream about, but I like the edea of Stock Mechs too.
But tell me what EXACTLY is a Stock Mech? Can't change anything but the paint and Decals? Or is there some wiggle room with some of the mech loadout? Especially considering the different map environments?

i would imagine that stock means you don't get to change any functional aspect of the mech. so it is exactly the same as when you bought it.

In the tournament we played in the german community, there was a list of mechs, which were already equipped, you had to use.
This list is exact the same compared to the loadout of the mechs you buy ingame, without modifying them.

You were not allowed to change anything but the Paint or the Moduleslots! Everything had to stay the same.
So you clouldn't change the weaponry, armor engines or anything else. So everyone had the same chances, and there was no boating at all!

In Seasson 2 it will give again a list of mechs. Like that one :)

Spoiler


That one contain all stock mechs we have right now. It will reduce in the 3025 Tournament to mechs that contain only Level 1 Tech.

it rocks cause all Mechs are at the same level. No Cheesy-Alpha-Builds. No Mechs with High-Point-Damage (execept Hunch-P... but he pays for the extrem heat). Every Shoot counts.

As is mentioned before: It feels like a Real Mechwarrior Game should feel.

...you feel scared when an Atlas comes around the Corner!...

We have trialmechs already.


And how exactly do you force everyone to use trial mechs in a particular match? Not relevant to the thread.
