Heavy class here.

IS: Maurader
Clan :Timberwolf

Medium:
IS: Bushwacker
Clan :Vulture

There's just something about the Tibby (as I so call it) chasing down scout mechs who think they are faster. or batting around assault pilots who think they own the field. Thus was the world in MW3/4.

It's all about the 50 ton CRB-27 CRAB!!!
Pew Pew!

I have always prefered either heavies or mediums (even lights occasionaly) to Assaults. I rely a lot more on manoeuvrability than sheer power.

[zodiac]

Definitely a medium, all the way. If the Cicada makes it in, she's mine.

Agree with the 'Hopper or would drive a modded Dragon.

I hope the Catapult is in the game. Me and a couple friends would absolutely own anything with them.. would be the 3 of us vs 3, 4 or more enemies and win

[Stormwolf]

I love how most people here pick mediums and heavies, but i bet that there's going to be tons of guys in assaults after the game launches.

I hope it's in too, but I'd think that it's not going to be as strong as you think without good support, at least going in with 4 Catapults is probably a bad idea.

Agreed. But personally, I just really can't stand piloting assaults. They're waaaaaayyyyy too clunky for me.

[RogueMae13]

Well, as the Mad Cat is only a heavy, and it's my second favourite 'Mech (first is the Mad Cat MKII), I'd pilot that as one of my options, no problem. I also have a soft spot for medium 'Mechs, so as long as there is a good variety, hopefully including the Shadow Cat at some point (not gonna happen for a little while though, I'm guessing...), then I'm happy.

Depends on how the game is setup. We seriously use to annihilate our competition. 2-3 ERLarge and some LRM 15's and 20's. Divide and conquer.

[UncleKulikov]

All depends on the balance. Hopefully equivalent tonnage will be balanced.

[Vincent Vascaul]

Medium for me, it's just such a diverse class and its affordable to run.

For those of you not reading, I guess posting this is pointless because you're already not reading. But still:

The era is 3048. There really isn't much "full tech" and certainly not Bushwackers and Shadowcats. Frustrating to read posts from people who don't know the universe and its history (especially from "real" battletech -- the board game).

Perhaps it's you who isn't reading.
"Q. What year is MechWarrior® Online™ taking place?

A. MechWarrior® Online™ is running an offset timeline of the BattleTech® Universe. As of this writing it is 2011 and the year is 3048 within the game. In 2012, when the game is launched, it will be 3049."

It's a pretty safe bet that the Clans will show up eventually...

Bushwacker was a favorite of mine.
