If i found myself in front of something like an Ares... my mech would just poop out its own core.

I think they've stated that they would like to add it, but it would be further down the road, kinda like adding melee :P


Except that melee is awesome and a some what common Mechwarrior phenomenon. (lol)

Not exactly my point. Though I disagree with you, I meant that they were related in that they are both something the devs would like to implement further down the road.

I tend to agree with the clans (paraphrasing). Melee is for baddies who can't aim.=P

Charging with an axe at an atlas, who has an AC20)....simply genius if youre suicidal

Edit: though melee sounds somewhat fun

Edit nr2: If i got to choose melee or quads to be in-game...id choose quads in a milisecond

Ha ha, figured I'd take more heat for that last one. Personally, the more Canon that makes it into the game, the better.

On this, i agree
Edit: Btw there will be charging and DFA'ing so thats pretty close to melee

Yes. Yes I would pilot a quad 'Mech. Why? Because it would be something totally different and pretty freakin' awesome!

does having extra legs mean it's harder to leg?

Yes. Losing a leg does have nasty effects on quads, but it doesn't cripple movement entirely. Multiple legs gone will.

And I'm in the "happily driving a quad" category. The low profile on a Scorpion that I can refit a bit (within it's hardpoint configuration) and easily lateral shift to skitter across roads while firing, or going mostly hull down to snipe with it's missiles or energy weapon?

Heck YES. Even the old Goliaths were good for terrain use- with all their weapons mounted high, you could find yourself a nice patch of elevation and go to work, but I'd look forward to a Scorpion more. Fast little fellas, good for a heavy recon that could drop down behind cover in no time if the MWO devs got all of the quad quirks right.

I wouldn't be upset if quad mechs are included... but I wouldn't pilot one if they were.

The Bishamon is also a good looking and interesting QuadMech.
It is fast and has a good armaments. I like the head (cockpit) design. Unfortunately we'll not see it until 3060.

I think it disappeared when a *third* quad-thread was merged into the other two. We need a fourth one, with a poll, maybe merging that one with this one will give us a new one! Also, 4 Quad threads just seems right, y'know?
