If they had clan mechs you would never find me outside of the shadowcat. I fracking loved that mech in 4. For now I'm gonna try the hunchback and maybe see if there is a lighter recon / harasser that is interesting.

Short of light mechs being woefully fragile, I'll probably play assault the least. I love the thought of lording over the battlefield but I am loath to be the focus of an entire enemy lance. I plan on running in a dedicated duo and running an assault mech rarely fits into our style.

I want to get away from the infinite circle of death so You won't see me in an assualt mech anytime soon. I do not mind CoD but if it is all you can do it gets a bit bla. I realy want to do some Long rang fire support with hit and run tactics. So I chose the Heavy/Light because I am so excited about the actual balance that we are told is there.

I am realy itching to try out a Light Chassy Long Range Support mech maby with some command moduels on it.

Heavies with a few lights spashed in, when I feel like being annoying and targeting others. Catapult has got to be one of my all time favs.

I expect to be using the Catapault a good amount. But once the game is really out, who knows.

mmm fafnir is one of my favorites. i just love the look of the thing in MW4.

probably will drive a well-armed light or fast medium in pubs, might drive an assault when I can rely on team support.

Lights for me, most likely the jenner, its got a nice set of lasers for harrasing and a nice thin frame. I plan on sticking close to the heavies/assaults so when the enemy is focused on them I can focus on taking out an arm or two ;)

I'm a more timid thinking Mechwarrior, so either light or meduim for me, I just want to be a benefit to the team.

Heavy with a healthy dose of Medium when I can. I tend to be the one coordinating my lance-mates and applying force where needed. Therefor, the tactical flexibility of being able to choose my targets and get where I need to be but remain survivable are what's important to me.

I think it's a really good sign that everything the developers have shown so far, really encourages true uses for all the different classes. Stupid arms races where everyone just ends up in an assault are the absolute worst. And there's no sign of that here, whatsoever.
