Currently, we appear magically in our 'Mechs in place on the spawn.

Instead, we should be punched out of a dropship. As players are loading... instead of seeing stationary positions... we should see clouds rushing by our drop pods... the map below getting bigger and bigger. Then... as we are all loaded... the 'Mechs hit the spawn/drop point, the drop pods open and the startup sequence begins.

Much better immersion.

agreed, BUT that requires more than a little bit of work. i suppose they could just do a short movie sequence for each level that is just recorded and is not actually rendered in game.

I like this idea. Gives us the visual effect of dropping into combat without killing the developers with something more complicated.

This would be cool, like in the game Section 8 - you literally drop in...
