Title says it all. A few weapons wanted by the community, and that can be added to the game as of now:

Binary Cannon: Basically 2 Large Lasers in one. Weighs less than 2 Large Lasers also. Better Range and damage, and more heat...

Long Tom Cannon: Fires like a catapult. Does 20 Dmg like a AC/20. Creates a lot of heat but has range like a LRM. Travels the speed of an AC/10(I think).

Weapons that should be added(at a more appropriate time. EDIT: That means LATER, like in 3058!):

IS Ultras: makes IS ultras 10 and 20s fire faster. It's make clan tech unnerfed, and make IS and Clan pilots happy.

X-Pulse Lasers: Basically IS pulses that do more damage and generate more heat.

RACs: Shoots faster than a Ultra AC but jams more. Both Clan and IS versions.

Bombast Laser: The Laser Version of the Gauss Rifle.

Heavy Lasers: Clan Versions only. Does more damage and generates more heat, and less range.

IS Streaks 4,6: IS version to be added. Longer cooldown than IS streaks, but faster than Clan Streaks. Would help IS battles during CW against Zerg rush + more.

I don't know if we'll skip years to get to this tech, but if we do, expect the game play weaponry to change up a lot. Anyone want these weapons? Anyone want to jump into the appropriate years to get these weapons once we have our mechs and maps?

EDIT: The weapons(Above) are later, you know, in parenthesis I stated it?
Also I know there are more weapons, such as the Heavy Gauss, the Hyper Autocannons, and Heavy machine guns, etc. They aren't added because the weapons above are the most iconic and possibly game changing weaponry. Also, some people are saying I'm skipping weapons. We already know the weapons that aren't here, plus who wants to read a long list of weapons? A newbie wouldn't.

Long Tom Cannon does Arty damage not Ballistic damage. So a small Arty strike or 12.

X-pulse lasers have greater range, not damage. IIRC they were supposed to match the range of Clan pulse lasers.

Binary Cannon: Basically 2 Large Lasers in one. Weighs less than 2 Large Lasers also. Better Range and damage, and more heat...

At this point, the prototypes are current sitting in a wearhoue some where, under a tarp. Along with the MAD-4X....

Long Tom Cannon: Fires like a catapult. Does 20 Dmg like a AC/20. Creates a lot of heat but has range like a LRM. Travels the speed of an AC/10(I think).

No, due to Crit-splitting issue. I'm cool with crit-splitting, but might be a problem in the codeing of the game for it.

Weapons that should be added(at a more appropriate time):

IS Ultras: makes IS ultras 10 and 20s fire faster. It's make clan tech unnerfed, and make IS and Clan pilots happy.

Coming, 3057/60 for the IS, currently 3051/52 in game

X-Pulse Lasers: Basically IS pulses that do more damage and generate more heat.

coming 3057....

RACs: Shoots faster than a Ultra AC but jams more. Both Clan and IS versions.

Coming, 3062

Bombast Laser: The Laser Version of the Gauss Rifle.

coming, 3064

Heavy Lasers: Clan Versions only. Does more damage and generates more heat, and less range.

Comingm, 3059

IS Streaks 4,6: IS version to be added. Longer cooldown than IS streaks, but faster than Clan Streaks. Would help IS battles during CW against Zerg rush + more.

coming 3058

that's now how a bombast laser works. it's just a continuous ongoing beam that does more damage the longer you hold it onto the target like a laser fire hose.

what i want is a hatchet anyways. where's mah mr. choppy?

Not as I remember from MW4: Vengence. It was a charge up laser and then did damage.

Was there any specific reason to not implement the Binary Laser Cannon? It would differentiate the IS forces for the Clans a bit more, and it would present some interesting loadout options for mechs with very few energy hardpoints.

As much as I'd like to see more variety, the game doesn't really need new weapons. It would just be more crap to try to balance.

Yet we have Gauss Rifle charges. We never had Gauss Rifle charges in any of the Mechwarrior games, ever. so what about it makes the bombast laser a bad thing? would you prefer the PPC and Gauss King Crab or would you prefer the ERPPC and Gauss Rifle Dire Wolf Meta?
