Hello to all.

IMO it would be nice that 'Mechs (say.. with arm actuators and claws as the Kodiak) could inflict some damage (if stripped away from weapons for example) as to "box" its way through battle (maybe torso twisting)... maybe... just an idea... Posted Image

Melee would be awesome, but it would likely break the game into nothing but suicidal melee scraps.

False fact. No observational data. Pure conjecture.

Have you played this game? With these people? If there was even a chance of punching a cockpit, do you think anything less than everyone would be doing it, constantly?

i do not see a problem in that, if anything it would be hilarious and fun for a change.
they would have to add melee animations tho, so not gonna happen.

Melee would be great, but you'd have to bring back DFA and knocking mechs over. I'd love to see these things come back and melee used....it would change the game completely.


Nothing would make me happier than to be able to punt light mechs

Edit: plus we've been begging for melee combat since day one...i really don't think it will happen
