This isn't too wild, but here goes:

First, I want A good character creator! Even if It'll basically just be your avatar. Or maybe they can actually make areas where you can walk around as your avatar/character, like your quarters on a dropship, a bar on a planet, etc, etc. What if they also made some missions/maps where you have to be an infantry or BattleArmor? Then you can fight it out with each other on foot. Okay, maybe the infantry AND battlearmor shouldn't fight on the same map. Also, there shouldn't be too many of these maps. Just enough to provide some variation.

Next, I think to get the unseen back, Piranha can make a pact with Harmony Gold. This pact would involve Harmony Gold sharing the rights to the unseen if Piranha shares some of the other mech designs, like the Atlas and Mad Cat. It should be called the Warhammer Pact or the Marauder Pact, after the mechs that will be brought back!

Coming Soon! LAMW™* - Live Action MechWarrior.

• Do not use real weapons, low powered slingshots and blowguns with blunt darts will work just fine. Suction cup type dart guns are Clan tech. If you can find a water gun these days with enough force to pop a balloon then this is considered a Mech portable Long Tom.
  
• Tape balloons to your body, one each on your legs, arms, chest (x3), back (x3) and head. Arrange as per a standard Mech sheet.
  
• Your natural run speed is your Mech's top speed.
  
• Your natural body strength is your max Mech tonnage. You are free to carry as much ammo as you can but it will affect your top speed.
  
• Let the neighbors know ahead of time that you will be invading their planetary neighborhood and that that their back lawn is the Brians Cache. Don't attempt to explain it to them.
  
• DFA and ramming will abide by the house rule. If you are under the age of 26 ask your parents if their insurance policy covers physical attacks.
  
• Should a leg balloon get popped you may hop around on the remaining good leg. If the "destroyed" leg is used, even accidentally, the Mech is considered destroyed.
  
• A Mech is considered destroyed should; both leg balloons, or all chest (both front and rear), or the head balloon be popped.
  
• Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), including full face and eye protection, is highly encouraged. If worn, balloons are to be taped on the outside - A Mech caught using PPE to shield a balloon is considered to have suffered a catastrophic engine failure. Stomping on the offending Mech's chest, while highly discouraged, will most likely be the first effort to put out aforementioned failure.
  
• The local constabulary may become aware of your activities. If so, at the first sight of them yell "Jihad!" and run. This will let them know that you are not a threat.
  
• Most importantly - neither IGP, PGI or any investors endorse this game. They are indemnified from any legal action arising from playing it. Their counter suit will consist of Nerf™ bats and making you cluck loudly while running up and down your street. Also, the use of cats may or may not be part of the counter suit - It depends on Paul's mood that day.

The First premium mech will be a 200 ton quad called "Shiva" it will have 6 warhammer-esque PPC arms and a death-from-above attack capable of hitting 2 mechs at once.

[ak12546]

the Atlas will be able to harvest trees to make paper and create cbill's

[AtomicArmadillo]

The Highlander will be immortal (can't be destroyed unless hit by a headshot) and the onboard computer voice will have a scottish accent.

Right before the Clan Invasion, it will be found out that Comstar has the blueprints for, and has been secretly constructing Orcas. Being the fine folks that we are, the BHD will, of course, 'liberate' this blueprint and share it with the Inner Sphere.

I heard from my best friend, who heard it from a guy who said he was the cousin of one of the devs that there would be Kinect support which would include certain peripherals which you could fit to yourself in order to feel like you were actually a mech, allowing you to stomp around your living room & fire your PPCs by saying "PEW PEW".

You forgot to add the electric shock and 2nd degree burns when your mech gets destroyed. ).

In order to play MW:O, players will have to go through a complete recruitment process where they are lied to, then have to sign a document releasing all their rights as human beings and therefore becoming an ethical zombie for which PGI and IGP do do with as they please. much akin to the real military

[Solis Obscuri]

In a shattering P2W blow to the community, MWO launches with cash-shop only 'mechs with extra limbs and side torso segments, which, once destroyed, make it impervious to destruction from any facing due to the lack of a "damage transfer" mechanic.

HBK-4Ps reconfigured as flamer boats are discovered to be the only available countermeasure, and become the predominant 'mech seen on the battlefield in any type of match or map.

And different sound effects for different weapons, quiaff? With unprecedented amounts of bonus xp for those who can actually beatbox out a rhythm with their weapons fire.

Anybody who Signed up for Beta access gave their system info to PGI will now be hacked and assimilated into the super brain computer thing that ComStar is going to use to take over the world...

We are one... We are one....

The number of new threads will drop by about 2000% once people realise that they aren't in closed Beta, and all the forum trolls are.

Forum Trolls will drop by 2000% when all the people realize this and commit suicide and the trolls turn on each other. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!

[Critical Fumble]

Because, this thread is too good to be this far down:

The reason there are no beta keys yet is that the devs made a bet with our e-mail providers that they could increase the number of e-mail checking actions by 9000%.

All the people who've asked, "Whar's ma BETA!!??!!!!1!!" will get their keys first; but they will be for World of Warplanes.

To minimize confusion, melee weapons such as the Axman's ax will be replaced with brightly colored plastic squeaky mallets.

If one team does not fire on or ram the other team, and the other team does, then regardless of results the match the passive team is granted a "Passive Resistance Win". PRWs drive the other team's faction off the contested planet and send them into a socioeconomic collapse while immortalizing the PRWing team as faction heroes.

Clans will be playable factions; but in an attempt to attract a wider fan base, the traditional clan names will be replaced with “I Can Haz Cheezburger?” character names. Clan Socially Awkward Penguin, Clan Long Cat, and Clan Insanity Wolf are expected to be real crowd pleasers.

More inception ‘mechs will be added, including:
M4-R10:

• Class: Light
  
• Armament: Flamers, only flamers
  
• Jump jets: Yes

Special notes:

• Turns into a medium ‘mech after touching mushrooms, but shrinks back after being shot.
  
• If it lands on top of another ‘mech after firing its jump jets, it gets another jump for no extra heat.
  
• Landing on another ‘mech forces the other mech into a powered down state.
  
• Landing on a powered down ‘mech causes the powered down ‘mech to shoot off at high speed.
  
• May have combo abilities with the planned Y0-SH1 ‘mech.

G0RDN-FR33MN:

• Class: Assault
  
• Armament: Anything and everything.
  
• Jump jets: Yes

Special notes:

• Disables voice chat while being played.
  
• May carry as more weapons than would seem possible.
  
• Weapon weight has no effect on its move speed.
  
• After winning a match, it may take a very long time before returning to the ‘mech bay.

Paul announces that due to "unforseen difficulties" ie excessive numbers of PMs to devs closed Beta has been delayed(while they try and hire a work experience trainee to workthrough them all)
