That's a great IDEA! First few guys killed can elect to switch into a turret for the rest of the game! I dig it!

that is a brilliant idea.

I like the idea, but what do we do if the last 2 guys left on each team are turrets? Or do we make it so turrets surviving doesn't count?

just count them as still being dead (since it's just keeping track of mechs for win/loss) so when it's one mech vs manned turrets the one mech team wins. and if you live too long and all the turrets are taken then it's spectator mode for you.

"Bump for Urbie" sounds like a lovely slogan for a bumper sticker.
Maybe with a url with a link to this thread?

YES!

Why is there not an urbanmech yet? Three minutes of 3D modeling, another three for quirks and attachments, there you go.

as someone in a video gaming company on south park might say

"how can you kill that which has no Urbie?"

That's underselling the art and animation department a little bit.

Otherwise, blame the clans.

[General Pete]

I believe that House Liao maintained and fielded the largest number of urbanmechs (or at least their mechforces had the highest percentage of them.) And the clans invaded from the far end of the inner Sphere, never reaching Liao territory. If they had been forced to enter Liao space, I think we all can agree the urbanmechs would have proved to be an impenetrable wall the clans could not hope to crack.

My point? PGI will release the Urbie after all the clan mechs are introduced for c-bills, as the great equalizer!

I mean, that only seems fair. a quad AMS urbie with ECM is a nigh unstoppable force on the field, that needs to be balanced by 2 stars of mechs, and 4 trinaries of elementals.

Ah, so I should be bumping the UrbanMech thread? Okay.

[xeromynd]

With all my being, I want this to be the longest thread on the MWO forums.

Make it so #1

PGI guy 2: <checks the boards and gasps> sir. it's OVER 9000!
PGI guy 1: WHAT????
<pause>
PGI guy 1: hey that means they loved the joke so we're going to do this every year from now on!!
PGI guy 3: sir someone in the art department came up with this <holds up a picture of an Urbanmech> and the programmers figured out how to get around the engine cap problem. we just need an ok and we're good to go.
PGI guy 1: WHAT? and ruin our annual april fool's joke thread? be serious <grabs the artwork, crumples it up and throws it in the trash>
PGI guy 4: but numbers indicate MC urbanmechs could make the founder's money look like chump change.
