howabout a few mobile suit types?

[ZeroMasters]

this sounds good, howabout a few mobile suits, sorta like patlabor. that would spice things up. *grins* i just love big guns.

what you all think

[ABRAXAAS]

I was thinking mechs kinda like from Battlezone 3 or 2 I cant remember but mechs are deffinatley needed

[Sputty]

They won't have Mechs in for release, that's for sure. And there's an even less chance to have a mobile suit type thing

[FuLLxCLiP]

yea im pretty sure it would be too powerful

[SandTrout]

I don't understand the deal with "mobile-suits" being so damn powerful. can someone explain what makes them so much more effective than a tank?

[Sturm]

Im thinking NO. Why would they put a bigger version of a max into the game? Why would anyone even play a max anymore if you could use a mech to run around in?(forgetting inside combat)
Secondly if you added ameter tall mech to the game that seems a little too much; its doesnt fit in with a first person shooter game that well. The people on the ground in their puny armor wouldn't stand a chance.
Everyone would want to be mechs for outdoor combat because of their armor and weapons.

[Sputty]

Well, if anyhting a more Mech like thing would be in but it's basically a huge walking tank with added maneuverability and huge firepwoer, also strong armor. It's jsut too strong...

[Sturm]

Sandtrout think of them as "vertical tanks" like they did for the simulator for the xbox w/ the 200$ controller...
They basically offer more versatility in combat because of their mobility.
Tanks still have some advantages over vertical tanks though...Lower to the ground obviously, some tanks are practically just a box built around a big gun,etc.
I don't think these vertical tanks would fit well into the game with MAX's already being there.
I like mechwarrior just as much as the next fella, but I don't want mechs running around....


P.S. Ahh when a mmog of Mech Warrior comes out...that's going to be a fine day

[Airlift]

I'm against any mecha in games where they aren't the central theme. The reason isn't because they are so powerful, it is because giant robots are ridiculous weapons.

It really depends on what mobile-suit or mech your compairing to. There's thousands of them out there either in games or in anime. The whole "Gundam Series", "Robotech Series", "Metal Gear Series", "Heavy Gear Series", "Mechwarrior Series", etc . . . . just to name a few out of the many. Sturm your talking about SteelBatalion for the Xbox right?

[Ouroboros]

Maybe add some multipurpose vehicles?

Like a buggy that can transform and hover for a short period of time(hovering = faster/avoiding ground obsticles).

[Zatrais]

They better not turn this game into some anime replica whit 30 feet tall robots running around flying whit jetmotors in their asses.

I like the semi future thing they got going here, it's into the future but not so far out that you can't reconise the weapons and vehicles.

[Hamma]

This was talked about in the very early days on the official forums. I dont think you willl ever see mechs in PS
