so iv been told that in the future of dust we maybe looking at mech play? regardless of how true this is id like to know what people think, would you want big mechs (bigger then tanks) small ones (heavy on steroids basically but ya know a mech)
Do you think they should have jump jets?
Shoulder mounted weapons or carry guns like infantry?
how fast should they be?
personal as some one who played ALOT of lost planet two id like to see at least 3 different kinds, the small mech for extra Armour but less speed, a medium with jump jets and alots of speed with shoulder weapons say Gatling-guns, with a melee alt attack & finaly a heavy mech massive in size with shoulder mounted direct energy weapons not as much speed but make it a BEAST when it comes to Armour. in dust's current state obviously any mech would be OP more then any thing, how ever in eve online there are different planet classes lets say a storm planet for example where a drop suit may not be enough to survive the weather (i assume you would be on a storm planet for some form of resources or what ever the eve pilots want you there for) but what i am implying is instead of fighting on these extreme worlds in drop suits you would use mech's to fight with getting out of them as ither a last resort of to enter a facility or some thing along those lines.
also if any one here played lp2 you know a good mech pilot can really screw you over even if your are on a equil playing feild gear wise.

dude your aware mech in differnt games arnt carbine copy's of each other right, two games can have mehcs and be great in there own right. also dont count on it being on ps4 i can also guarantee Microsoft throwing trucks of money at them to stop that from happening. |

I get what your saying I just can't see a balanced way of it working with out reapeating the battle frame robotics mess of planet side. I'm not saying it's a bad idea I just think it won't work in dust unless the player count is upped and vercs go though a huge overhaul |

The pictures are already out there.
Think of them as the same as when Ripley fights the Queen alien. they look smaller than the ones from matrix and avatar.
I think they need a proper mech variant not just exoskeleton style, don't ever expect these though |

You mean that Call of Duty clone? Also: Mechs are kinda already confirmed, if you read Templar One. |

How in any shape or form is titanfall a cod clone???
And I know about mtacs but the dropsuit kinda replaces them given the heavysuit and stock clone do the same job and are more effective |

When you think about it, mtacs precede Titanfall by almost 10 years. |

Forget these dreams of mechs. They haven't even released all the racial variants of the dropsuits yet. |

my intent was to start a discussion about mechs in dust, not about when why or how, but a hypothetical situation where the idea could be talked about. |

well seeing as its a down the line thing i figured why put in suggestions and feedback when its just a general discussion topic, iv herd things about how "stuff" gets on the fourms but iv never posted to much out side the feedback & suggestions thread any ways. regardless id like to see some people make thee effort to use general discussion thread as intended. |

You have to be careful, if we are going to have mechs, they need to be serious, no jumping around and what have!
The only kind of mech I would endorse is like the ones from AVATAR
see here https://www.google.co.uk/search?redir_esc=&client=tablet-android-samsung&hl=en-GB&safe=images&q=avatar%20mech%20suit&source=android-browser-suggest&qsubts=1380284672932#hl=en-GB&q=avatar+power+suit&revid=462593214&biv=i%7C10%3Bd%7CoNcqvZ1VcB5mIM%3A
Anything more than that and they will be to silly! This game hinges on suspended belief, tanks are still tanks!
Soilders are still soilders
And the warfare is largely similar, if you start getting mechs hop skip and jumping around the show then its thrown out the window, you might as well give everyone jetpack and bullets that bounce of walls! |

Old MTAC thread (locked) is at https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=440577
Have a look at

for a glimpse of what CCP were thinking of. |

MTAC's I hope will come under all vehicle types, so light ones come under LAV, and heavy ones under HAV ect but obviously role specific ones will have to be branched out in. |

Just so that everyone understands, CCP did specifically state during that Fanfest Keynote that not everything is set in stone for a particular timetable. What this means is that you shouldn't be surprised if CCP delays the MTACs a little more than what they said originally. |

lol
Nothing the Dust devs tell us is ever set in stone, even when they actually state a release number or date. I'm starting to suspect they've lost control of their codebase, and most of their time is spent trying to tame it again. Probably a result of trying to do too much, too quickly and building up a mountain of technical debt. |
