@Omigir. ohh so it was *you* who single handedly showed all the assault jocks of MW4 the error of their ways and brought meds back into play. Must be nice to live in that fantasy world. lol Anyway, allowing modest changes to canon variants should be enough. MWLL allows *no* changes and its a very successful mod. In the end, we will get a balanced mechlab that reflects what the devs want for the game. They will listen to the fans, sure, but clearly they are going for a more canon approach which Im happy about. I'm not a hard line BT purist but I want the MW series to return to its sim roots based in BT and away from MW4 and MA arcade trend. Mechlab is a major point of contention for many people. The fact is that the more customization you have the more specialization wins the game which reduces the significance of skill, limits variations, and rules out 95% of the other mechs because of the "uber" configs they cant load.
I didnt see any other purple cougars out there, let alone anything lighter than 90 tons that wasnt a madcat. This was before I had mektek patch as well.
Ok, so big boast, but the point is, game play changes and there are trends.
Also! Mektek is a very succesfull patch nad it *did* have customization. More importently, fans made it tolerable. MechLeague is very good about it and I think we as fans have just as much power in balancing as devs do.
Also MA did *not* have a mechlab. Only variants aviable. And everybody Hates MA more then MW4. MW3 also had a mechlab and i have nevery heard it called 'arcadie' Why? Becuase mechlab does not make it arcade like, graphics and feel do. That comes down to how complex the machanics are and how the game looks. More or less.
As far as your Uber mechs go, they are all super flawed. They have to sacrifice everything that makes a mech battle worthy to have a pay load (not to mention NO HEAT AND UNLIMITED AMO) < something we wont see.
But all the above aside, Im not asking for free rane to go out and put the world into my mech, I just want to change wapons a little and maybe add or shave a little armor for speed. Its not hard to put on restrictions to adjust small things or swap weapons. No need to take a giant hammer and hit the whole MWO Comunity over the head becuase you are afraid of 'ubermechs'.
MaddMaxx: Those are the same guys who say "Gents, I want a movie style explosion for this exposition, use what the armorers have over at the cave and make it work."
