Within the current timeline MWo is using we have the Crab (50 tons),But with a very minor redesign the Sentinel (40 tons) and Hoplite (55 tons) can easily become "chicken walkers".

The 85 ton Stalker was given this treatment in it's Battletech design it has more humanoid knees yet in MWo it's knees were reversed.

Well, t technically I did that first in MekTek's mods for MW4. Also did the first K2 Cat visuals AFAIK as I knew the ppc arms would look cool and I felt it had been overlooked for too long, it's a great mech in the boardgame also.

The Mauler might give the Awesome a bit of competition in the "barn door" race. It will still totally dominate the Awesome in every other way thanks to the ballistics hardpoints. Between that and the ballistic-heavy Banshee, the only thing keeping the Atlas on life support will be the ECM variant.

Well, to be fair, this has been the case for a long time with the Atlas. The ECM D-DC has been the only real reason to run one for a variety of reasons for as long as we've had Highlanders, after all.

Even when we JUST had Atlases, the D-DC was so much better due to ECM that it was pretty much a given.

That is the case with EVERY mech that has an ECM variant, which is a great example of how unbalanced the item is to begin with.

Yeah, I grabbed some MC because of the sale, despite not having anything to spend it on... But a dual ballistic arm Quickdraw? That's pretty intriguing. Sure, as a quickdraw, it won't be terrifically competitive, but Quickdraws ARE fun to play.

[cSand]

Quickdraw is my favourite mech orhter than my Orions. So, best news ever

[Durandal]

New Mech, Mittens. I don't care if it's not canon, I just want to see someone do 1000+ damage in a mech that walks like this:

What happened to the Vindicator? Wasn't it confirmed at one point?

It was confirmed by Russ on Twitter, but no date was set.

I'm tired of all the humanoid mechs, time for some "chicken walkers"! Come on Bushwacker! The timeline is already a little warped anyway, make the Bushwacker happen.

P.S. I am glad the clan mechs will be out soon. The clans run a lot of "chicken walker" style mechs that are cool.

yeah cause that's really what we need right now another 55 ton mech!!!!!

[Ovion]

We need more Lights right now:

Spoiler

2 lights, then an assault and a heavy, then you could consider another Medium I think.

[SgtMagor]

a few peeps including me mentioned a Hero Quickdraw would be the way to go, now it actually might happen very kewl. a light heavy mech with dual ballistics and jump jets is something to get excited about.

Sure, better than another 90 ton High Alpha jump sniping Assault

We need maps, not Mechs.

This. This game's maps are getting very stale, and I'm saying that as an ardent supporter of this game - that's not a good sign.

Mech-wise? Zeus, King Crab, Hatchetman, Cyclops.

[Ovion]

Yeah, a couple of new maps would be nice.

But then so would a system that ensured any map you drop in, will be different to the last 2 maps you played on, so you'll play 3 different maps before seeing a repeat.
I can't help but feel this would help against the monotony.

(You could also apply the same logic to game modes when you go 'choose any', in that it'll prioritise a different game mode to the last you played).




I also want the King Crab...

Hero Quickdraw

[Dawnstealer]

So a Hero Quickdraw is the hero for this month - sounds legit. What about the new mech? Are we getting one? Or is it just going to be the Clan mechs?

[General Taskeen]

Its a 'meh' build that Ivy Upsalom would never have used.
