The myomer muscles I can understand would be a little unrealistic. Lasers aren't unrealistic. In 2013 The Marines will be outfitting Hummers with lasers that can shoot down artillery shells. Don't believe me? reseach is Most of the technology on mechs though isn't that far fetched though. The gauss rifle is pretty mus\ch the same thing as the gauss gun except that the munition is a solid slug 200 times bigger.
One thing they should do, is come out with an editor like they have in Morrowind. There's guys coming out with new stuff all the time. A few days ago someone released an airship. Then the staff on ps wouldn't have to spend their precous greenbacks paying guys to come up with additions and charge us for them. They might make a few here and there, but most of em would be made by fans. People can make More wepons or vehicles. Then if the verteran mechwarriors really want them in ps (If they own it) they can make em and maybe release a few if they want to into the game community.

I hate to disagree with you there but I must. I don't think we will ever have an effective MECH like thing in the US army. Why? Bi-pedal movement. Walking on 2 legs is very unstable, in fact, it is pretty much just controlled falling. Maybe a 4 legged walker (ala Star Wars) but in my opinion, never a 2 legged combat robot. I just don't see the benifets of a 2 legged robot. But, hey, maybe we will all get to see the day when they have lasers and giant fighting robots.
