Really the more I talk about this type of limitation the more people really want to see it atleast in some form in the game.

We really want to see Atlas' be omfg an Atlas when we play.

But the total weight of the team should be lower than 480 imo. Medium mechs should be the main force on the battlefield.

Taking lobbies as a given, I can see the weight limits as described here as a mainstay, however noone wants a situation where its a P.I.T.A. to get a game in with their AS7, or STK or whatever. So there needs to some tiered levels of play, wherein assaults are commonplace but not necasarrily a prerequisite. Same with lights, and mediums and heavies and so on. Perhaps Lights and Mediums in one tier, Heavies and Assaults in another, again these being the common class but not the only class.

I don't mind the idea of tonnage limits. Its what we used in MW4 during NBT. But don't think for a minute it won't result in new cookie cutter builds.

Yes please.

One of the "pillars of the game" is this whole Role Warfare concept. The devs have stated a desire to move away from previous Mechwarrior games, where bigger meant better. Your mileage may vary on whether they've accomplished that. When and if they do, weight-based drops will make absolutely no sense.
