In urban settings , a click and grab kinda thing should be implimented to move, car/ debry/ rubble/ etc into some sort of stackable wall. You could have a units muck like in mine craft running around grabbing materials from all over the place and making forts for the fighters. Bigger units can move bigger objects. etc.

I don'....

Actually, check that knee-jerk reaction, this could be fun if implemented. I'd give it about .01% of a chance to make it in, but I see possibilities.

no, the time involved to build a fortification that would come up to the waist or higher on a mech is the equivalent of building a three story building. That takes weeks or months not seconds or minutes.

Just stand behind a bigger Mech. If you're the Biggest mech, expect to have Team mates lined up behind you for cover. Saves time. lol ;)

Which raises an interesting question. How much ambient life or vehicles will we see in an urban setting? Any? I'm guessing they are cities or sections of cities that have been evac'd and somehow everyone got their Hyundai out.




Cheers.

Yea, though maybe mechs with arm/grabbers could carry opbjects like walls/ blown up mech parts/statues/ and e.t.c.
Would be interesting, but as said by wwiiogre, could take some time dependent on the materials.
Thanks,

All I can picture now is picking up a light post or a girder with a mech's hand and using it to jab another mech in the eye/cockpit. Looking at you Atlas...

Bleah, real mechwarriors do not hide behind buildings, they break them and dance on the people trapped inside.


So we're going to have them add hit boxes to all the elements in the environment that could possibly be used as shields for mechs to carry around?

Looks like I'm getting that Radeon 7970 x2 after all then.
