Let's hope they at least close this IS mechs circle with an Assault. (there are so many cool Assaults to be added)

I think they will take some time implementing the already announced mechs, but I actually believe they will starting feeding clan rumors in a few time...

That doesn't mean we will be playing with clans anytime soon. There would probably release of the game, with all 16 IS mechs, allowing us some months of nice only-IS playing and, in the middle of next year... who knows?

Good lord, this post is a zombie.... All it does is drool and smell bad, but it just... wont... DIE!

NECROPOST!

[Odanan]

It was pretty reasonable at first. But them people started to post things like:
1- "it will be the Marauder!", or
2- "it will be the Fafnir!", or
3- "it will be the Imp!", or
4- "it will be the Direwolf!".

1- No, it's an unseen;
2- No, it's a mech from another era;
3- No, it's a very rare mech, Wolf Dragoons exclusive;
4- No, it's a clan mech (come back next year).


This is a topic to discuss what mechs will show next, NOT what mechs do you want in the game.

Cool, I didn't know this mech. Except for the light armor, it is pretty good. (I would replace some lasers for more LRM ammo and armor though)

Makes sense, but some of these mechs have one or other issue:

- Slow small mechs (Panther, Vindicator, Whitworth.) = as MWO is, small mechs need to be fast to stand a chance;
- Mechs with few worthy variations (Enforcer, Assassin, Whitworth).

By adding the Cataphract and Raven, the devs showed they can choose mechs more fitting for the game, instead of only the classics.

whatever as a Mech comes next... the time is running out. In March 2013(March 3050), the Invasion begins. A lot of Mechs have to implemented until then.

With so many mechs - how is balancing going to work out?

The more they add the more balancing isues are going to occur.

[Saber Avalon]

I have a theory on the final mech and why we haven't seen it yet. If you recall the trailer, there was a Warhammer fighting an Atlas. My bet is the Warhammer was supposed to be the last mech (or sooner) but due to the legal issues that have supposedly ensued from that, they were not able to announce it. I don't think I've seen any official statement from a PGI staffer on it either, this leads me to believe they cannot say anything. So it's possible they're trying to sort it out yet or deciding if they want to replace it with something else. That's just a theory though, I could be wrong but it makes sense.

Adding more mechs doesn't really cause that many balance issues. The nice thing about Battletech is they all follow the same weight system and all use the same weapons. The only balance issue is the weapons themselves and glitches/bugs like that of the Dragon, where it doesn't fall down when ramming.
