Sol Tigh!


Oh... er. right. Well, I guessed Awesome last time, but we got the Centurion instead (which would have been my second guess). So I'm not going Awesome this time, though I wouldn't be surprised if it was another Assault 'mech (lighter end of the assaults, 80/85 tons), or a very "heavy" heavy (say, 75 tonner.) I think a light 'mech is also possible... but I think they'll want to release a fairly exciting light 'mech if they do, so it will probably be either a Raven (unless they're saving suspense on that) or a Wolfhound.

But I'm also thinking we've seen quite a few DCMS-associated designs, the Centurion is mostly a FedSuns design...

Here are my predictions, in order:

1) Zeus - popular Lyran assault 'mech design
2) Raven - highly advanced scout design, Capellan icon (though of course we've already seen the Catapult)
3) Marauder - widely used and popular 'mech, clear signal Unseen 'mechs are coming back (though redesigned by Alex)
4) Orion - popular design produced in FWL, good workhorse heavy design with armor and firepower that border on an assault 'mech
5) Wolfhound - a quick but tough light 'mech design, Lyran-produced, first energy-only config revealed

Wildcard: Stalker - it has been mentioned as a design Alex would potentially tune up to make it look more functional, which indicates it may make it in-game.

I wouldn't mind a 4/6 mech with a ppc and twin large lasers either.

[KillerWabbit]

I'd say:

Light - Commando (old, solid design; fun mixed-bag armament with several variants);
Medium - Wolverine would be nice, but I always liked the Enforcer.
Heavy - I'd say Marauder or Warhammer, but only the Unseen versions. Barring that, lets get a Orion on the board!
Assault - Awesome is a great choice. I also would like a Victor or Highlander. But my true desire? Battlemaster, all the way.

The Enforcer is actually a pretty cool mech, to be honest. I wouldn't mind seeing that come out before the game is released, but I don't expect it to be the very mech thats going to come out this Wednesday, since we already have enough medium mechs. I'll tell you what though, all of those mechs in that list I'd love to see happen. Great taste in mechs buddy!

[NeoDac]

HIghlander for the love of all that is holy Highlander i am pleasantly surprised to see some other requests for it in this thread its frankly my favorite mech and i feel that people tend to forget it exists. just please devs if you put it in don't use the mw4 mech pack version dear god that was ugly.

next on my list would be any of the unseens as them returning would be amazing.

after that i'd have to say i'd like to see the hermies or the Orion.. wouldn't mind a Charger as long as we have enough customization to make a Challenger out of it (for those that don't know drop the engine rating and replace most of the small lasers with large lasers spread throughout the chasis and i beleive it bit more armor)

[zorgoth]

i want the orion. it served me well in 3.

[osito]

I think we will see a light mech this time. I think it will be either a raven or a commando. i want it to be a wolfhound though. As for assault mechs i think a stalker or awesome. I want a pillager though.

[pursang]

I'm going to have to agree with those people who picked the Wolfhound/Awesome. Simply for the fact that they've already hinted that the Awesome may be in or being planned anyway. I'd also like to see how they redesign my favorite light - the Wolfhound. If it's anything like the Centurion redesign...

With the GDC just around the corner we won't see any big flashy mech this week it will probably be a Spector (isn story mention) or something like that from the polls they have done. The big monster awsome or iconic raven or reseen remakes so that they are that talk of the town. So think small think off the beatin path and try to come up with a mech that would be the last thing that we want to see now lol. Remember the GDC has to be big bold and flashy for it's releases

[MaddMaxx]

Commando

[MilitantMonk]

My money is on a light mech and an assault mech for our bonus next week. Probably Raven & Awesome!

[FEK315]

We Need some scouts and the Raven is such a traditional mech.
When I think of Mech warrior I think of:
The Thor
Argus
Mauler
MadCat
BushWacker
the Uziel
and THE RAVEN.
Mech Warrior with out the Raven is like Football with out the New York Jets or baseball with out the Dodgers.

You have to have a Raven besides we don't have any scouts yet
RAVEN


ps.vote for something on the list...like the Raven.
Fek315...OUT!

Marauder
NON HUMANOID MECHS PLEASE!

Oh golly gee!...Can I pilot the giant walking, nearly pornographic, mech design? Ppppbbbleeeease?

If you can't guess, that was sarcasm.

Decent combat design, ugly friggin' mech.
If they are going to re-do the stalker, lets make it less like a walking...you get the idea.
OK?

[FEK315]

LOL!
That is Awesome!

Raven and Marauder Please

Fek315...OUT!

You meant a walking Zeppelin right?
Everyone knows the new mech is going to be either a light or an assault.
Here are my predictions:
Light
Firestarter (there was a dev post mentioning flames which may hint at this)
Assault
Awesome (From hints in dev posts plus a pretty staple design)
Zeus (ZEU-9S Mentioned in an ISN newsflash Sat. Oct 15, 3048)
I could have mentioned more I would like to see but one of these 3 are the ones I think the devs will go for

[Jacob Davion]

Either the Raven, Commando, Awesome, Zeus, or possibly the BattleMaster.

[FolkenWintercraft]

Marauder
Rifleman
Locust
Awesome
Zeus

Edit: Also, the Vindicator. Can't believe I forgot one of my favorites.
