Well okay here we go. A list of mechs available in this time frame. All of which could be interesting and awesome to see on the Battlefield. I suggest these 20 eventually make it into the game but if not all some. What do you guys think should be in the game? Above all of them please choose only 5 mechs.

Edit- Please make a vote, and do not flood the posts about not enough variants and such. PGI has made up variants on mechs before (90% of all the Hero mechs don't exist in canon) and they have released variants that don't exist by this time in the lore (like the Timber Wolf Alternate S).

Wow, you are missing a LOT of mechs from your list o.o

But, Annihilator ftw!

[Gunnerr]

we ever going to see the bushwhacker ?

[Twilight Fenrir]

Gosh I hate seeing "Where's the Bushwacker/Blood Asp/Fafnir/etc" XD MW4 was set 14 years in the future of where we are More than half the mechs in that game don't exist yet! MW3 was still 8 years in the future!

They'll come, when the time is here. PGI said they'd probably skip a few years at some point, so I doubt we'll ACTUALLY have to wait 6 years from whenever we stop being in 3050... But it will be a while yet.

Charger! And melee to go with it.

Unseen won't happen.

Which makes me sad... I was always a fan of the Archer

[TheArisen]

Technically we can do mechs from 3052. Russ also said that some mechs could be in prototype form. Wtb the Penetrator!

You could add the Hammerhands as a Warhammer stand in.

I wanna see just one mech... the STONE RHINO!

[AbsUserName]

And, of course, the mighty Hatchetman!

Seriously, PGI, give us melee... It's like everyone is a strange-honour-bound clanner who can't fist-fight.

All those hand actuators for naught...

[TinFoilHat]

Assassin, Kodiak and Thug hold some pleasant memories for me from MW2:Mercs. Would love to see them at some point

As I said above, I wanted to only include mechs that were in previous games so as to keep around mechs that are recognizable by people who haven't played the board games. Not only that but the Vulcan wasn't produced until 3050 and until the end of that year was rather rare still. Wasn't until 3052 that the mechs really became super popular again. Actually they biggest resurgence was in the Fed Com civil war so really it just isn't ready for the timeline yet. I really did consider including it but just didn't seem like the right time yet.

The fact that it wasn't in other MW games is just another reason to actually have it here!
And i'm pretty sure its production never stopped. At 3050 they just started to make new variants with Star League tech

[Tarogato]

My supreme vote goes to Penetrator. PGI is considering chassis up to 3052 now, and the PTR, being 3053, isn't a big stretch. This game needs more non-humanoid chassis.

[Chuanhao]

Lancelot
Exterminator
Dragoon

These I want.

List is a little limited

[IdolElite]

Following your stringent rules, I'd like to see the dervish, guillotine, and Charger. Plus the ones I voted for.

Edited by IdolElite, 15 May 2015 - 04:27 AM.

[AbsUserName]

Banshee with 400 engine: 75 kph
Charger with 400 engine: 89.1 kph

there, Charger keeps up with scouts, Banshee only keeps up with medium/heavy lance.

Thanks for the poll.

I forgot Charger but honestly the Banshee does the same job as it

Yes. In 2018.

EDIT: Not voting because I thought the choices only included 'mechs from 3050 or earlier.
