In classic battletech, mechs could have rear mounted weapons (Archers, Battlemasters in particular mounted medium lasers facing backwards). Could we not have that ability also ? And a reverse camera view in the HUD.

I do wonder how they would implement rear weapons in the game, but I have indeed found it hilarious that in the 21st century we have rear mounted cameras on every van and SUV and you can buy one for maybe $50 in an auto parts store for ANY car, but this is LostTech 1000 years later. With the number of small rocks capable of stopping 100 ton robots which lack the technology to raise their legs, it would be nice to be able to see what you are stuck on and if there is someone blocking you from behind.

Personally I like taking advantage of this, particularly with lights. I'll get behind people and try and block them from retreating as I chew their backside with lasers or whatever. I am sure it annoys the heck out of them and that is what lights are supposed to do.
