I realize Mechs are a hot topic, and I want you to know, up front, that I am pro-mechs due to my history, so no smoke and mirrors... I just have a friendly question... It should be on topic because the video brought it up... Again, no disrespect to anyone who does not like Mechs (I dislike BFRs myself, but I like "mechs"), so...

That said, what function, or niche, in a futuristic game does a "heavy tank" fill, that a mech, with similar power level, not fill? Again... this is a genuine attempt to understand this point of view, because I admittedly do not "get it"...

To me a properly implemented "mech" fits right in just as well as a "heavy tank" in a futuristic game. To be clear, I am not referencing BFRs, I did not like that implementation, so I "get it" on that subject, but to me a BFR does not a Mech make...

Can anyone help me understand this point of view?

I'm going to go ahead and second this. I need clarification as well.

PS2 will be drastically different than PS1, you cannot say that BFRs in ANY form will ruin the game. Anyone who would leave the game just because of BFRs(probably not many)... I have two words to say to them: GOOD RIDDANCE.

BFRs as they are now in PS1 are just fine.

Stop hating on BFRs, they're awesome.

...and if a bonehead greenslime can take it out solo, it sure isnt OP...

(One of my fav, all time, cinematics...)

No.

TR:

But although I think BFRs were cool and stuff, they simply cannot be re-implemented due to their history. People will rage too much.

[Grognard]

Negative on this for VS...

The Behemoth doesn't look like it can fucking walk.
In fact, in the lore, the one thing that kept it from going anywhere in production is because it took about 50 years before they could figure out how to get it to walk. And even then, it didn't quite work out.
If you want to go there, why not just this beautiful peace of sexy art?


Now that is damn sexy. Keep that for the TR, though. It has cuuurves.

Yes I know all that crap, for the purpose of this thread it got my point across because its just a type of "look" (w/Jade Falcon markings) similar to the marauder(IIC), which I was originally going to link to... and those are lasers/(ER)PPCs, so TR can suck it, its VS...

I definately like the Marauder/Behemoth look for VS though, the tri-laser/ERPPC array is "asthetically pleasing".

[AThreatToYou]

Well, yeah. The Marauder IIC is VS, I have no problems with that.
But Marauder's TR! It was even in PlanetSide 1... albiet terribly deformed...

Now that, I can accept ClanTech/LosTech for VS, of course!

Still better than the abominations VS had... Id rather have an Urbanmech...

[AThreatToYou]

Urbie is NC

i mean it totally fits them
slow, big gun, worthless

BFRs did not ruin PS1, all BFRs did was make a bunch of people angry for some reason and they refuse to come back because they're turbo butthurt that they can't pilot them well
