since people seem to not get the point. NO CLAN MECHS. NO MECHS PRODUCED AFTER 3050 AT LAUNCH

[phelanjkell]

Mediums!

[Derick Cruisaire]

Most likely a medium for me. they have the best balance of speed, armor and firepower, in my oppinion.

[Der BruzZzler von Wiesndoof]

I don't vote, cause i have my fav. mechs in all weightclasses, but i prefer light and assault mechs.

[Wraith Shadowbane]

Madcat, Madcat MKII, and Daishi are my favorites. Though I love the Mauler. Heavy armor with nice speed and good weapon loadout.

[Strum Wealh]

Marauders

MAD-1MDb
MAD-1Rb
MAD-3BC
MAD-5F

[Nik Van Rhijn]

Depends on the role : Raven or Wolfhound, Hunchback, Warhammer. Catapult

[Canned_Dman]

Fast jumping light mechs!

[AShinySword]

Raven, Light. I don't even know why, I don't scout. I just pile in and rely on my size and speed to keep me from harm. Maybe it's just the thrill of knowing your two heavy weapon hits away from destruction. And once I get tired of being floored I'll clamber up into a rifleman. The two playstyles compliment each other well for a rounded gameplay experience based on the older MW titles.

For those of you wanting to know whats available by 3049 a list was made by Stormwolf,( kudos to you sir!) see through the link below:

Unfortunatly, we've got years and years befor we see an Uzi.......3067 for the start of production.

[Hairlok]

Will depend on game play .....
in BF I played as a support role, laying waste from med to long range then getting in there and to res my team mates but
In DoD I loved running around with my shovel, Seeing the dismay on my enemies face as they were cut down in melee (you kind know what Mech I am hoping for there )


If there is a mech size dark hole you may want to check for me

The Mauler is a good choice it's design is good for sharing damage to each part of the mech. A good brawler mech is a mech that can force players to hit multiple hit boxes, not just a single location.

Your choice of the daishi, mad cat and mad cat mk2 Are not brawler type mechs. There center torso is too easy to maintain a shot on. Those mechs will need more center armor added to live longer and should be kept at med to long ranges or there center torso will still be an easy target.

Me I Love medium mechs but I've grown to like lights because they get into and out of the action so fast. The heavy's can be close to the speed and agility of medium mechs though and are more forgiving when hit by assaults. I like assaults too but only because of the Overpowered damage they can do. I don't like the slow walking and the fact that they will eventually die because of it.

[God of War]

If it´s not Assault i´m not gonna fit in.

This is a multi-choice poll

[Dragorath]

Mostlikely all. An account per class. I love diversity, but also want to have my best specialized pilot.
And no I am not unemployed to be able to get all in the best way ;-)

Which came to my mind just now... it will also depend on the game engine. If LRM are completeley locked. Light Mechs would be no fun at all, dead with the first salvo. And if the speed is kept to slow compared to the torso twist I would go for Assault, if non of this issues is within the game... all classes :-D

[John Clavell]

I don't want to say which weight class or mech type I will pilot until all the options are on the table and I can make the most informed choice for me. The big question is just how specialised will your pilot become. Dose this restrict you to being good in a single weight class? A single mech? Or a single 'role' across all weight classes? In MW4 I always tended to lean towards mobility and electronics.

[Semyon Drakon]

Heavies for me, Marauder for preference as i love that thing, unseen, reseen, pheomix, flying debris..doesn't matter. Just bring the MAD loving.
Semyon

[Jurtim Tarmikos]

probably an even mix of mediums and heavies, depending on the situation

[ehmag005]

i voted heavy.
perhaps something like an Axman-1N
