Lol, 54 damage in lasers for 4.5 tons on a 150+ kph platform. Jesus.

Yup.... there is a reason why we know the Locust IIC is a death machine....

Hey I agree with your post! Now sarcasm aside,

The real reason why I want to see the remaining MW:2 mechs to get into the game (and so happen to have the RFL-IIC before the WHM-IIC since the clan bracket is flooded with assaults) is because I don't want PGI to simply overlook and favor newer chassis over the older mechs that should have been in the game already. Not that I'm trying to start a flame war and QQ about it because my favorite mech in battletech didn't get selected in another pack. I just want PGI to complete the series since we have the Marauder IIC now. That means only 3 mechs left to go and the entire classic MW:2 mech list will be complete.

I pointed out the bias simply because you forgot many mechs during the beginning of this poll. Have I not mentioned the Rifleman IIC someone else would have. It's in second place in the heavy bracket so that is more than enough reason to be happy and (hopefully) catch PGI's attention when Tina submits this list. Am I entitled to the mech being in MW:O as so many others feel about their favorite mechs? Nope. Do I think it would make a great addition to MW:O, drop decks in CW and would it be a decent sell for PGI? I believe so.

IF I CAN'T HAVE MY KINGFISHER THEN NO RIFLEMAN IIC FOR YOU!

Just kidding. Kinda, but not really.

I can agree with that, but if it safe to say the next two Clan Heavies we get will be the Nova Cat and Rifleman IIC, then I would prefer to get the Nova Cat first, for the sole reason that it it brings a LOT to the Clan 70 ton lineup, which currently only has the Summoner which, while good at its niche(s), is a lot different than what the Nova Cat would bring. We already have 3 pretty good Clan 65 tonners, not saying the Rifleman IIC won't add a fair bit to that lineup as well, but not as much as the Nova Cat since we only have 1 other 70 tonner. That's really my primary reasoning. PGI can do what they will with these results though.

I'm down for the Raptor. Might do 6 ER MLs instead of 8 MLs though.

I do agree that the Nova Cat should eventually make it into the game (since again, I have nothing against the mech nor the crowd that likes it since I did enjoy it in MW:LL) but I hope you do realize that the three 65 ton mechs that we have in game for the clans are all omnimechs. The Rifleman IIC offers the capabilities of a battlemech with high energy/ballistic/missile mounts. PGI awhile back tried to encourage more players to run clan standard engines.

Now I'm aware that the other alternative is the Grizzly, but is that to say that the Grizzly should be in the game before the Nova Cat for the weight bracket reason? It is a 70 clan battlemech after all. A very mediocre jack-of-all-trades mech if not plagued by problems by its design from the lore. I'm sure the irony of this statement is that PGI will make it a good 70 ton mech somehow.

Based on the hardpoints the Grizzly probably would be a pretty good mech. The Grizzly 2 can do right side peepers and Goose with JJs, and its a Battlemech so it can rock whatever engine is most ideal. I would rather have the Nova Cat first though, as would the playerbase it seems.

I don't know what to tell you, 3 65 tonners, 1 70 tonner is all I need. That's just what I prefer though, PGI is going to do whatever they think is best, probably depending on whats in the rest of the pack. I'll be honest though, I'd buy all 3 of these (Nova Cat, Grizzly, Rifleman IIC).

What will really get you is that I like the Grizzly more than the Rifleman IIC

-.-

We really need to keep the stock of Clan Omni mechs larger comped to battlemechs though...lore sake wise, also they need to figure out how to make the Omni mechs alot more flexible rather than just Lego mech! (Having multiple loadouts to choose from on a drop or something. QQ all you want Omni's need something to make them feel like the superior mech in terms of logistics ect.

Hey that's a good point. We have THREE 90 ton Battlemechs and ZERO 90 ton Omni-mechs. Sounds like we need to get the Kingfisher in game immediately.

Nope. Too soon/similar to the Mad Cat Mk. II. Kingfisher it is.

Indeed the IS needs another 95 tonner to accompany the Banshee like the Nightstar (just 2 votes behind the Sunder) or Sagitaire.

We have 3 65 ton Omnimechs, two of which are good and one of which would compete directly with the RFL-IICs role (the Hellbringer - both ranged peek traders. It has lower firepower, sure, but ECM, equally high mounts, no silly hat and much better mobility - RFL is going to need special love from PGI to not be godawful due to engine cap, though, like the annihilator, it might get it)

We have 1 70 ton Omnimech, which is filled with flaws and in no way competes with the role of the Nova Cat (though, the Night Gyr kinda does at 75 tons)
