PGI, I hear from tons of people they would rather have this game closer to TT rules than the current version. I've come up with a game solution that can easily be implimented to satisfy the passionate fan base.

The rules NEED to be...

1. 1 team move at time (have timer) they can position mech anywhere they want within predetermined distances. teams take turns

2. 1 team shoot at time same as above ish

Now this one is important.

3. In TT random rolls affected hits. So what I SUGGEST is a combination of FPS and TT rules. You get to AIM where you want to hit. On screen there will be a visible cone. Assuming you roll best, the shot goes exactly where you want it. The worst roll will hit outside of cone. THis way you can risk HS if you want or to hit center of mass.

This will keep the game closer to a turn based strategy combined with FPS that people like, and encourage command based, strategic gameplay.

OH #4: Can have fuzzy dice in cockpit to do rolls haha maybe buy with MC! lolz


Add anythign you can think of

EDIT: Replaced the first image with a different one, changed the text "THIS IS BATTLETECH" to "THIS IS TT." Makes it more appropriate.

How about you go play tabletop or megamek, and leave my Call of Gundam: Gundam Warfare alone.

If it's a bad troll, it's bad.

If he means to talk about MWT, I actually agree with most of that. :rolleyes:

So what you are saying is to scrap this game and come up with an entirely different game based on another medium of game as a simulator of a table top game that is trying to simulate futuristic combat. Not only is this the worst idea ever, part live action only on your turn, but i also feel worse about the human race now :rolleyes: .

Also, when I roll a bad die, I should be able to call it 'cocked' at least 8 times in a 24 hour period.

Interesting Trolling. Not original, but the effort was there. I give it 4/10.

the OP obviously never heard of mechwarrior tactics, also sponsored by infinity games publishing, the same publisher that sponsor PGI.
