There should be more than mechs. Tanks,infantry, aircraft, elementals, and anything else on both sides of (a large) battle would be great. Although I think most players would only want to pilot mechs so the other things should be AI.

Changed the topic from a question to a full blow petition. We need them.......want them....close enough.

Soooo when the clans invade can we get them? ....please :3

Battle armor FTW c'mon .

Edit: OK ppl I have read the topic up and down and am luving how most want elementals.

But let me remind you that this is a petition to have Elementals put in the game EVENTUALLY. I am not expecting anything like this anytime soon after the game release.

(IMO) I am sure many things will be put in-game eventually such as tanks, LAV's, MRL trucks, even scout copters, but I am also more than certain the first year at least will only have 'Mechs.

This petition is just to make sure Elementals get put in, whether it's a year or even 5 years after the release, it doesn't matter just so long as they get put in.

I won't pilot one, but someone else may. Plus, it would be kinda cool if there was an elemantal only server

I voted for the eventual inclusion of Elementals and other BA units, PROVIDED:

1.) They show up at the canonically-appropriate times.
2.) They are NOT player-piloted units - they (along with AeroSpace assets and Combat Vehicles) should be NPCs that operate in squads that can be directed by the Company Commanders, with players being MechWarriors only.

The poll, IMO, should be expanded and elaborated to show the distinction between those who would prefer that BA units be included only as Commander-controlled NPCs and those who want to actually pilot BA units...

I think this would be great after the clans come and the IS can build some units as well. I would say have a star for the clans and 4 armored troops for the IS. one being the player while the others be computer controled, with attack,defend, attack part etc and also the pilot can upgrade unit with what is used to upgrade stuff.

I would welcome this as you would have 10 mechs and two points of elementals etc...

MWO is a Mech game. Let PGI focus on mechs please. It's not like there is a shortage of mechs for them to add to the game. There are a **** ton of mechs. If PGI is going to devote the time into the programming I'd like to see ALL OF THEM.*

*With the possible exception of the melee and quadraped mechs which complicate gameplay/balance simply by existing.

I'm inclined to agree here. While the inclusion of Elementals sounds like an interesting idea, I don't think the game will be any less fun without them, so I say let them stay focused on the 'Mechs.

[A11eycat]

I would love using my tag and watching 3 MadCats launching lrm20s at the unsuspecting foe! GO Elementals!

[Dragorath]

I voted for yes. Anyhow, for all who wants to play elementals, please don't whine when your get blown away within seconds!!!

[Morashtak]

Let's get the MVP out and running first.

BA; Maybe in 18-24 months after all the bugs are worked out and balance has been tuned between all the weapons and such.

Would love to see full up combined arms but willing to let it be much Later™. Much, much later™. Like 2-3 years from now.

[Long Draw]

I think the phrase "Taking a bath" is going to become very common if elementals are introduced. Lets see how elementals survive under water when I submerge my mech completely lol!

[Adridos]

[AlanEsh]

As long as I can kick elementals like a football, bring 'em!

[Long Draw]

Maybe we could get a flubber gun so we could play basketball with the elementals lol!

[LegendSlayer]

I couldn't care less about tanks and infantry, but I would like to see elementals and aerotech.

Given that there is a limit to the number of players that can connect to a server, would you really want to have someone on your team that was in battle armor rather than a Mech?

Yah it would suck to be the only player on a team of 12 in a mech facing a full 12 player team all in mechs. That would not end well.

[corpse256]

I'm going with NO. In MW2 Mercenaries they were annoying and useless. find your little tiny weak mechs else were and keep them big so you can see them.

[Das Grab]

the elementals shopuld be allowed in as they came with the clans mechs in the invasion, then latter on have the IS have their own. Yes if the enough players get enough of them then the houses can add them into their forces first then the mecs next. the better battlesuits should go to the houses first and the nexts best one the the mercs.

[PANZERBUNNY]

You really wanna run around in a unit that I can 1 shot and you're out of the match?

[ManDaisy]

Also anyone who thinks they should be able to move anything above 25 kmph should have their legs ripped off.
