Thought I would see if the Hatchetman may makes it way to MWO. Love that mech. And great job on the game. It's a ton of fun and love the mechs

[MeiSooHaityu]

It is a cool mech. I like the Axman myself. Very similar, but prefer the Axman because I want an Adam Steiner hero mech . It has to be black w/ yellow tiger style stripes too (and a red axe).

[Gallowglas]

I think they have said that mechs like this would be considered when and if melee mechanics are introduced, which may happen when they put in Solaris.

[Buckminster]

I love the Hatchetman, but until melee damage is allowed it'll only ever be so useful.

LOL! How come? I didn't see the Warhammer either. So many sweet mechs. Glad these guys are on it.

I think my Yen-Lo Wang has been de-clawed long enough.
If they decide not to include melee attacks then Yen-LO needs a buff.

Uhhh, the Yen Lo Wang carried melee weapons in a lot of it's Solaris battles. If melee gets put in, it'd be stupid for the Yen not to get these. If they do add melee the Yen Lo becomes a whole new beast.

Any Mech with hands becomes a whole new beast... If it has a hand actuator, it can equip any hand weapon or just use its fists.

Atlai 1st rule of thumb grab nearest Commando, now use your new bludgeoning weapon to defeat the enemy.. Glorious i hope it will be glorious!!

Melee is to Battletech as Water is to ships.

Right now all we are doing is motor boat'n around in the dirt.

Melee is a must.

[Sephlock]

At the very least they could re-implement collisions (with collision damage revamped along with the inclusion of knockdown) and give mechs with melee capable arms a damage bonus.

Need axe, must have cockpits for the cockpit throne!

I hope melee is like this:

[oldradagast]

While I'm hesitant to introduce melee mechanics out of fear they will somehow be too powerful - don't ask how, but those things happen - they do belong in the game. Mechs with full hands have them for a reason other than preventing people from putting in more weapons.

I also hope mechs with better articulated arms (both actuators, hands, etc.) have an easier time getting up if knocked over. It just makes sense - try getting up off the floor without using your hands and you see what I mean.

[TheMadPoet]

I am also a fan of the Hatchetman. Make it so.

I'm digging this out of the mega-Urban Thread, someone's melee Urban they made in TT



Would pay MC for Urban Hero "Pointy" Mech.

And if they ever add the Hatamoto-Chi, and then add melee. I'll equip with two Katana's and call it the Miyamoto Musashi.
