surely i'm not the only one who wants to see a quadmech in MWO.

[jbone]

You are not alone...

Oh yeah, Mule kicking and lateral shifts

[Kal Radick]

Besides, they're really useful for scouting purposes

[nubnub]

What type? I've always wanted one like a cockroach - can hide anywhere but runs fast

[Kal Radick]

I've been thinking about the scorpion actually

[Bloody Moon]

While i would like to see them ingame aswell i doubt they should be among the first mechs to be released.
If they are released a bit later they could add a bit of a flavor to the game just after the constant two legged mechswarms get a bit boring.
Besides as far as i know there are only a few of them in BT.

You could look at http://mwomercs.com/...types-of-mechs/ and http://mwomercs.com/...mechs-and-lams/ there were a couple of other threads about this as well, but these were the main ones.

Would love to see the quads

Quads are fine, but I would miss my Torso Twisting.

Quads may not be able to torso twist, but they can do lateral movement, as in sidestepping, i think that would be advantageous in urban enviroments

I want me a Balius

Though I don't know if it's the right time period or not for it...

Quads are problematic for development as getting their legs to set right on non planar terrain is a huge PITA for animation purposes. This is the main reason they havn't been seen in recent games.

Why do you think I like the Balius so much

[Curon Hifor]

To be honest, if the Scorpion was available, I don't think I'd pilot much else. Very good speed for its weight class, decent fire support, and can competently fill any role in the game (scout, defender, attacker, commander), due to its presence on the high-end of the Medium Class.

quad mechs ftw!

True its hard to do but possible. If there will be no quad mechs when the game first launches that okay. but surely once its out you'll have plenty of time to get it all worked out.

[Watchit]

Another great thing about F2P model, plenty of time to work on awesome things like quad mechs!
...plz? ;D
