Heavy and Assault mechs - long/mid range line mech

[GrizzlyViking]

I think I'll wait to see what Mechs are available before I choose a starting role. Over time I will develop all 4 roles to fill in on missions as needed, but will likely focus on Assault and Scout as roles initially.

I can't see a Griffin fan trading down to a weaker, smaller, slower mech.

That's cool.

The Griffin, however, is not. Compared to the VND-1R, the GRF-1N is under-sinked.

While it may run hot, it's faster and looks cooler than a Vindicator. At least the unseen Griffin did, and i have a bunch of mini's for it.

Each to their own. That's the beauty of our hobby!

ok, I'll just need a Crusader. Heavy Gauss, 2x LRM 10's 2x Med Las. Put me in that thing and let me get in close.

Its one hell of a brawler. I much prefer getting close to the target.

I'm going for assualt in a Mad Cat Mk II.

Gah, overheating, cumbersome, fragile, useless for anything 'cept taking out light-medium lances. If you want an assault mech, go for a Diashi

[Dagar]

Scouting should be fun. Not in an Atlas though. After all, we're from FWL here! That's why I'll be scouting in Awesome

Well, it highly depends on what mechs will be avaible at the begining, but I think I will go with Assault. BTW, you guys should be ashamed of yourselfs! Clan technology? What happened to your patriotic feelings?!

Fire support, through and through, so long as I have eyes on target, making sure my rounds land where they need to. Though with the available terrain able to block LoS, supposedly, I might be able to pull off a hit/hide brawler/harasser. We'll have to see when the game goes live. =3

[-Ramrod-]

I'd probably enjoy a Fire support role. Or maybe even front lines. Scouting is just kind of boring in my opinion.

[Logan W]

want to be in an assault or medium

[Major Bill Curtis]

I'll be scouting in a Cicada: fast as all get-out and an AC/5 for plinking.

I will feed you targets and kill the opposing scout

[Nevoeiro]

I'd be in a medium, or heavy. Light is too fast for me, Assault is too slow I like balanced mechs.

[Heron]

Scouting and defense roles using light and heavy mechs, respectively, with a main focus on fire support. I will ensure battlefield awareness and keep my lance mates' backs covered.

[Dalemart]

I was hoping to suit up in a Medium mech, preferably a Wolverine,. and going with an attacker/scout style setup... however, with no word on the unseens, I may have to switch this up some.

[Drakewolff Kerensky]

for me give me the assault unit

[Lord Mortak]

I would like to be able to fill different roles dependent on the gameplay mode and the maps. Urban maps might be more fun for brawling. Where say a jungle map might be better for scouting. Maps with serious changes in elevation (like in the sample game play) would give a better vantage point to be a commander type. Also the size of maps would come into play as well, larger more complex maps may have both urban and changes in elevation and mean you need a balance of say commander and a brawler.

As for gameplay modes, using command type features to soften up enemy defenses in capture the objective games may be more interesting than commdaning in team deathmatch style, where I might want to be in on the shootin'. Although if I had to be pinned down for the start, brawling in a Hunchback pursuant to my chain of command's orders.
