Until I can get a WVR-8K I'll take a Grand Dragon... I probably won't live long anyway so I may as well go for something with tissue paper armor and an XLFE right?

I see a number of clan mechs but I think they won't be in the game (yet) when it launches as I've read that its set in a short period before the clan invasion.

I'm a fan of medium and heavy battlemechs as well and would happily pilot mechs like the Argus, Dragon, Avatar etc or mediums like Centurion or Assassin.

I'm a fan of some of the mediums and lighter heavies, myself. Shadowcat is a favorite in the pods, I'll have to see what we have to work with here in MW:O
I wouldn't mind one of the broken Firestorm beta Cougar loadouts... Rear mounted gauss cannon makes for a nice surprise

And for any MechCorps pilots here: GO TEAM SHADOWCAT!

I always tended to stick in the 60-85t range, no doubt I will find myself there in this game too. Dragons, Orions, Warhawks and such.

Cougar, if/when it ever becomes available.

[teran]

It sounds like this game will have a lot in common with World of Tanks... if this is the case, then there is plenty of reason to cruise around in something other than an assault mech.

[pbiggz]

I generally use heavies (summoner mech pilot myself), they have more mobility than assaults, but still have the firepower.

[CobraFive]

If they get the weight balance as good as they say they will (And I have faith) I really am going to be torn between piloting a speedy scout 'mech trying to stay alive and relay info, or an Atlas breaking things.

I wonder how they'll differentiate mediums and heavies though. It seems to me the best idea would be go all the way or go home.

I like the maneuverability of the smaller (under 50 ton) mechs. Medium mechs have the best mix of weapons/armor and speed.

Gimme my beloved Warhammer any day. Failing that, a Hunchie, Enforcer or Griffin will do. Failing that, gimme a Wolfhound or a Panther. Or the comedy option: Urbie.

The only Mech above the Wammy in weight that I could get behind using regularily would be either an Awesome (I like Zombie-Mechs.) or, more likely, a Victor. (Because how could you say no to 80 tons of jump-capable Mech with an AC/20?)

[rag tag]

I remember in MW2 I would pilot a Nova / Blackhawk as often as possible. Loaded it with lasers and heatsinks and let the lasers fly non-stop. In MW3 I liked my Mad Cat loaded with lasers and heatsinks with a couple PPCs for good measure I like the maneuverability of the lighter mechs.

[roshambo]

Depending on the balances, back in the day I was an evil, evil man in the Jenner. We will see if it still holds.

[SilentWolff]

Ehhh, assaults are too slow. Give me a heavy anyday of the week.

[Damocles]

Fast medium or Heavy for me.
Griffin 1N!

[easy0n]

I longrange varient of the Vulture focused on rearline defence is more my speed.

[mbt201188]

I love my Catapult or my dragon. I like going up to the enemy in my Catty and saying how do you like my giant racks lol

[Lord Harlock]

I actually prefer a fast medium to an assualt mech anyday. I remember this one time in Mechwarrior 4: Mercs that I accidentally selected a cougar in a Solaris VII bout, and well I won by running and gunning like ****. Probably the most fun that I ever had in a Battletech video game.

[mbt201188]

Oh yes and i've missed the Jenner so much im glad its back!

[dradiin]

i would love to either pilot a Hollander or a Bushwhacker, the Hollander for its HOLYS**T factor and the Bushwhacker for its versatility.

[saber15]

I spent most of my time in MW4 piloting mechs under ~75 tuns, and in MWLL I'm usually in a medium unless I'm in a Warhammer or jet fighter. Probably going to stick with mediums or light heavies in MWO.
