The new map frozen city looks awesome!
After watching the footage and reading the interview the heat mechanics discussion gave me some ideas. Extreme cold temperatures incentivizes the use of energy weapons because of greater heat dissipation (obviously).

SUGGESTIONS:
when a mech shuts down manually (not because of heat buildup) there should be a slight time penalty for starting up (having to warm up the reactor before starting it up). Also when shut down ice/frost should rapidly cover the cockpit window (maybe only during the blizzard).
If you run your mech hot while traversing through the caves/mountain side, you should run the risk of having ice chunks falling on your mech/other mechs around you or losing your balance because of the rapidly melting snow/ice below your feet (fall down a cliff as it breaks apart etc.)

yes the manual shutdown is a nice way to hide from dection also when a mech is standing in water any heatsinks in the legs should give doubble output as all heat sinks should do in icy ereas thats how it is in the battletech game anywaym, desert fights and other hot "spots" do however also add heat buildup as i recall heatinks only work half as well there

heat sinks in the legs when in water should def speed up cool down at least to a certain point maybe such as from 90% stand in water and it races down to 70% at tripple speed 70 to 60 at double 60 to 50 at one and a half and then normal even thou your standing in water
