Hey PGI just wondering here.
How hard would it be to add these to the game.
I think you're sitting on a virtual gold mine.
And not bothering to mine it.

If the A.I. was ready they would have already added them seeing as they are much simpler to model and animate than mechs. Maybe by 2019.

Ai stompables would be a welcome addition to any game mode, in my opinion.

I'd rather we added Quadrupeds first.

Followed by melee combat.

Do you think that MWO will exist in 2019?

They can add tanks after they add Elementals first

I'm thinking more of player driven than AI dumbots

Woosh!

No, they won't add player driven tanks I don't think. They've got a core competency and game here, it's extremely unlikely they'd do that. MWO is a Mechwarrior game.

AI tanks and planes, sure, but that won't happen until such a time as there's a competent, reasonable AI for them, and who knows when that'll happen.

But player controlled? Not going to happen.

PGI PLZ give us the Nova Cat and the ability to have Elementals jump off of its hand holds. Thanks.

I'd love VTOLs. MW:LL had them, so they are certainly doable with the current game engine.

Think about how awesome planetside style battletech game would be? It's astounding that there's no btech game with infantry, it's like we only got WW2 games with tanks only. One other thing that bugs me is that there's no real live action tv-series for franchise, or even a movie.

Any of those would print money, hopefully I'll be seeing some before I die of old age.

There were plenty of cool looking tanks, VTOLs, artillery units and even infantry units when I was playing Mechwarrior Dark Age. The Liao Peasant is probably the most overpowered unit in the game and commanded a good price in Ebay.

i believe i did that once with a manpack ppc in mwll.

of course it was a lucky headshot while camping a cliff and he couldnt see me. and scoring a headshot in mwll is an order of magnitude easier than in this game.

Would need the Bane/Kraken for it to feel like a proper monster rising out of the sea though.
