I just noticed something. Know how in the in-game mechlab, the number on the wall behind your mechs is a '4'?
Look on the wall behind the Urbie there. It's a '5'.

THE URBANMECH HAS BEEN IN THE GAME THIS WHOLE TIME.

We just need to figure out how to rotate the mechlab camera to the right to see the next mechbay.

You know, haven't posted in this thread yet so I'll say this...

...PGI releases a bunch of other DOA mechs, why not give us what we want and make some cash?

[Draven Darkshadow]

it'd be interesting to use the urban mech as a secondary mech as your primary mech goes down in a fight. something like the new factory map where you see a couple mechs in the back ground. if the head or cockpit isn't destroyed the player can have a second smaller mech choice 20 tons or less to continue playing the match at the friendly base.

maybe introduce tanks/hovercraft or even helicopters in to the game all under 20 tons.

To unlock that, simply press up up down down left right left right B A while connecting.

Huh, I thought you had to input IDDQD on your 'mech's keypad during the startup sequence?

Sorry, I was not specific enough. Mine was for unlocking Hangar 5. Yours is to unlock "god mode", which changes your current mech into an Urbanmech for the remainder of the match. Only difficult part is timing, as you have to enter it while below 10% health...

You know the Urbie is a 30 tonner right?

Also, yes. I think you should have a vehicle.

Tanks and Aircraft (VTOLs and Helicopters).
You get one of each class 'free' as a trial, then can buy numerous variants.
Then when dropping you choose a 'mech and a support vehicle, then when dropping you choose which you deploy in first, and if you hit the Eject button in time when killed (1-3 second time frame or something), then you get to deploy from an entrance point at a map edge as 'reinforcements'

Have paint colours work across everything, the support vehicles could have their own camo schemes and 'hero' variants

Think of all the extra sales they'd make selling that stuff!

The problem is that the map would rapidly be obliterated by sheer Urbie power.

There'd soon be no place for anything else. Or indeed,anything.

Except Urbies.

if nothing then just making engine code work for all size types, I hope someone is working on this. 46 pages now, they must agree that adding the Trash Can-o-Doom^tm is worth the cost of putting a model out. Keep the model as basic as needed if they must.

Well, there's occasionally a new person adding to the convo, but a lot of us are just replying over and over. Still...

They'd be like Critterball in Critters 2, only with Urbies.

even with the horrible joke on the front page, this is still my fave thread!

[Sir Crazy]

When will Urban Mechs be added to the game? Based on this thread alone it seems it would be very popular.

[Tank]

I think Urb would be a great indicator if a pilot is true Mechwarrior and not just come to be OP meta, LRM, or other boat thing.

Sir, you don't understand full magnitude of an Urbanmech - it's already legendary.

[Dawnstealer]

It needs 3 AMS and ECM.

nahhhhhhhh no need, it would just cut into my ammo reserves.

But then people would consider it viable and not call it DOA, leading the non-hardcore/non-true fans to consider piloting it, how dare you suggest such insanity!?

I know right?

However, in all honesty. The Urbanmech is one of those that are decidedly going to be inferior to most of their counterparts, however, they are going to be in high demand by us crazies that play the game for fun.
