Okay I have looked at Titanfall, and it looks pretty. Game play wise it looks like COD or BF with a Mech thrown in here and there.

But what really concerns me is the name of one of these "Mechs"is called an Atlas... I mean WTF!!!!

looking at It - MechWarrior Online's Atlas is clearly superior in looks an firepower... but how can they call it an Atlas? Is it a copyright Breach???

Just asking

The name Atlas is a pretty general name. I doubt anyone can copyright the name Atlas as It originally was a name for a greek titan, depicted as the one that is holding the world on his back. There are countless things that are named after Atlas, even other mechs in games. Mass Effect called their mech Atlas too.

call a suit of armor what ever you want but if it is not 100tons of ugly then it is not an atlas
