Title: What's your favourite 'mech?
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on March 16, 2003, 09:41:15 am
I've just been playing MechWarrior 4, and I want to know, what's everyone's favourite 'mech? From any of the 'mech games.

Mine has to be the MadCat MkII, as it has so many Omni weapon banks that you can fill it with nothing but machine gun arrays, and try to take down an Atlas!

definition of insanity: a assault 'mech armed with two heavy gauss going up against a small lance of cougars or other light mechs.. been play mechwarrior 4 mercs

as for a little off topic madness:

mechs? why have one when you could have Hundreds

Any mech game produced by MS is utter ****e as far as mechs go. I'll admit it, I'm a mega purist as far as that goes :D. I must say, the dashi is a good mech, but it is hard to pick one mech...as a lance of lighter mechs has no problems overcoming a dashi with little damage. (hell...I took down an atlas in a 50 ton superfast hovertank with a PPC...)

My favorite mech would probably have to be my nova cat.  3 ERPPC's, 2 ERLarge lasers, and a MED X-pulse fo small targets.

Mech 4 is ok, they REALLY REALLY NEEEEEED to put in the old mech lab again.

In Mech 3, my favorite mech was the Vulture, same with Mech 4, but without a fast engine and some jump jets, it's easy meat.
I want my Mech lab back...:(


BTW, I heard that they announced Mechwarrior 5:yes:


EDIT: Oh, this includes other mecha, too? Then Turnsky, leave my Macross alone! :D

I'd take a Super VF-1S anyday!

I like the Timberwolf, probably my favourite mech I guess.

Didn't like any Mechwarrior past 2, the 3dfx version was really good. They seem too arcadey now, which is why i'm looking forward to this (http://www.capcom.com/SB/). I got it pre-ordered, though it's £130.

Don't forget to buy some metal like titanium or stainless steel at least to make a realistic cock pit. Then put in that chair and soem controls that light up and a good force feedback joystick. Ultimate!!!:D

I like the MadCat Mark 2. Lots of space for pure firepower and a little more space to fit in jump jets.:yes:

if ur doing that get a 24inch flatscreen for all the gauges n stuff to fit on and get 3d glasses+card thats supports that
then get some clima things arround you then program something wich regulates the temp arround you according to the heat in the mech (your going to want to shut down promise :D ) and of course a 7.1 THX certified sound system
i think that should be all :D

i dunno, the 31  inch (83 cm) tv i currently have my xbox hooked up to should do the trick :D

Btech= BattleMaster
Mech2 (series)= Mauler
Mech3 = Shadowcat.  6 ERMed linked 4 and 2, 5 ams, clan targetting comp, jump jets of course.

Mech 4 = no favorite.  As a purist i found that the best use for mechbore is a pair of coasters for my cofee cups.
