Dear Devs,
New to this forum, old fan of Mech2.

Please DON'T build a Quake 2 in Mech Warrior skins !!! Don't try to make it fast. Keep it slow and ponderous.
The greatest thing about Mech2 was that you FELT like you were IN a 65 - 100 TON MACHINE.
A 100 Ton mech-machine is not going to be springing around from platform to platform like some of the later "mech" games, or some transformer movie.

Plus, SOUND. Sound is very, very, very important. (3 veries) You have to have an immersive sound environment, with lots of small sounds from various parts of the machine and big sounds from weapons. Mech2 did a superb job of this for it's day. When your mech got hit, you got a big visual shake, your cab was jolted violently, and the sound of the hit was incredible !!!

Sorry if this has been posted a million times. It's just THAT important.

Matchmaking:
One thing that frustrates everyone in World of Tanks is that the matchmaker puts you in with much higher level tanks, so you don't have a prayer. If you have a matchmaker system, it's OK to wait for 30 - 60 seconds while an appropriate match is set up. I'm planning on devoting 15 minutes to each match in WoT. I would prefer it took 60 seconds to setup a good one rather than tossing me instantly into a bad one.

The Youtube videos look great, looking forward to the Beta.

Quake's speed with mechs? You mean HAWKEN? Can't wait for that one too.

As for the rest of what you're hoping for, you're like a rich kid hoping for gifts at christmas; there's no way in hell you won't get what you're hoping for.

uhm there are no ricochets and no dinging the armor without doing any damage here... any mech can damage anotherone provided he is in range and hits the other one...
