It will not be amazing, but the latest Intel GPUs can run this game probably OK on lowest settings.
That poor Surface is gonna get HOT though. So chances are it will throttle. Worst case... it mya even damage the thing after an extended period :S You'll want to figure out some way to help keep it cool.

Use the mechlab, probably, actually be able to play a match with it. More then likely not...
If it is like other Surface tablets it only has 4 GB of RAM and uses Integrated Intel graphics which is very sub par for running a game like this. Most games now a days ask for 6-8GB of RAM and a real GPU with 2GB of Video Buffer or more.
You might get 5-10FPS using that thing...maybe. But i could be way wrong...only way to know for sure is to GIVE IT A SHOT!

It'll run Remote Desktop which will allow you to remotely access a PC that can actually run it worth a damn

Unless the pro4 is a lot more powerful and has much better cooling im in doubt.

I guess Microsoft upgraded the v3 to v4 with double heat sinks and a bigger engine for better performance and less overheating

Performance is playable. Clearly you don't buy this for the best frame rates and high settings, but it was a perfectly playable 45ish fps consistently during battles etc. Fine for a bit of MWO while on a work trip!
I used low settings and a resolution of 1024x768.
