I have always been a clan guy. Particularly favoring the medium and heavy mechs. Timberwolf, Stormcrow, the Nova, aaand I would be remiss if I neglected to mention the Warhawk. But it looks like this game is going to be mostly Inner Sphere stuff... If that is the case... I am fairly confident that I will be in a Catapult most of the time. You have got to love those Long range missile racks.

Fastest 'Mech there is! So far it looks like I'll be riding a Jenner unless the Oscout somehow shows up.

[Anvil Dragon]

Doubting my custom Marauder would ever be available sadly.

Out of the 6 mentioned elsewhere, I would start with the Catapult, hopefully the K2 variant (two PPCs) is possible.

I hate that the game is set so close to the clan invasion. I miss the old days of 3025 where you had to really think about your mech and tactics to win instead of ridiculous firepower and speed.
I would like to stick to the old school mechs whenever possible.

Vindicator, Centurion, Urbanmech, Rifleman, Blackjack, Archer, Catapult, and my baby, the Ostroc.
I'll be stunned if they put the unseen mechs in the game but I would dearly love to have my Ostroc to stomp around in.

Jenner, Panther, Blackjack, Assassin, Vindi, Bucket, Hunchback, Rifleman, Pult, Hammer, BM, Stalker, or Atlus... oh heck I'd take a Commando right now:)

I'd love to get into a Banshee on the assault side. My tendencies otherwise lean to fire support and I've always been a fan of the Archer. Moving down the scale, I'd be looking for a Trebuchet. On the light side, you can't go wrong with a Panther.

BNC-3E or BNC-3S? Two incredibly different mechs built on the same chassis and sharing a name. One is, in my honest opinion, a piece of overpriced junk alla the CGR-1A1 Charger (the BNC-3E) and the other actually holds it's own decently.

The Centurion! Since we can actually use our Mech's hands in this game, unlike all the other MW games i'll be able to have a solid mix of laser, ballastic and missile weapons...and a hand that i can use to beat other mechs to death with their own limbs. What more can you ask for? WOOT

Physical combat has not been confirmed yet to my knowledge, so hands on mechs seem to be more aesthetic than anything right now.

I liked the Timberwolf and the Thor

Tree-bucket. Trebuchet.

And I'll take a Vindicator or a Raven, please.

All I'll ever pilot is a Raven if it exists in MWO!

Trebuchet

from the 3025 mech manual...

Quote

Description
[color=#000000]
The Trebuchet is a medium weight long-range fire support 'Mech. The model's top speed of 86.4 km/h allows the Trebuchet to provide fire support for most light and medium 'Mechs. The main drawback of the design is the limited number of reloads for its LRM launchers, with only enough ammunition for a sustained barrage of eighty seconds. Because of this limited amount of munitions, once the ammunition bins have run dry the 'Mech must defend itself with only its laser weapons.[/color]

[edit]Armament

[color=#000000]The primary weapons on the [/color]Trebuchet[color=#000000] are a pair of Zeus [/color]LRM-15[color=#000000] launchers. These missile launchers allow the [/color]'Mech[color=#000000] to act in its role of fire support very effectively. Backing these up for close range work is a trio of Magna Mk II [/color]Medium Lasers[color=#000000], which provide the [/color]Trebuchet[color=#000000]with weapons when the LRM ammunition has been depleted and also discourages lighter 'Mechs from attempting to intercept it.[/color]^[3]

Buchet...Bucket


Nobody said anything about the BM or the Pult

I'm planning on first taking out the Centurion in the medium class range.

JagerMech in the heavy if they include it [I hope they do ]

Commando/Firestarter/Raven in the light weight class.

[Seabear]

My ride of choice would be an Exterminator. That's not going to happen though as there are plenty of more numerous mechs that deserve to be in the game before it.

Realistically, Archer, Thug, Centurion, or anyone of the classic trio mediums, Shadow Hawk, Griffin or Wolverine. Being a FWLer, I prefer the "laser enhanced" versions of the last three.

[GI Journalist]

The Cataphract seems likely to be included in the game. It is on the MWO 70 tonner Facebook poll, and the numbers are evenly split.
