Mad cats to me had two PPC's (the ironic main weapon that is) while the Timber wolf has two Gauss rifles as well as other different weaponload outs.

Stop taking Mechassault to be canon, Mechassault is a Battletech game in name ONLY, there are several stupid things in it, EG: 90% of the weapons don't work how they Should, most notably PPCs.

MECH NAME FACTS:
The Mad Cat IS called the Timber Wolf, Inner Sphere guys called it the Mad Cat because it looks vaguely like a cross between the Marauder and Catapult Mechs.
The Vulture is Officially named the Mad Dog.
I'll admit i got Masakari wrong, it's actually called the Warhawk.
the Nova Cat is called the Nova Cat, End of Discussion.
Variants of Mechs simply have number or letter after them, some atlas variants: AS7-C, AS7-K, AS7-D-DC, AS8-D, you should get the idea from that.

On the subject of clan mechs, there is a high chance that they will be introduced post launch in an expansion pack.



Dude, they're names from Mechcommander, and Mechwarrior previously, not just mechassault which is a semi poor game. it's good but not battletech worthy.
They're variants and only Variants, You may believe what you want but i know what they want.

See: MechCommander is considered to be an apocryphal product.
Also see: The term apocrypha is used with various meanings, including "hidden", "esoteric", "spurious", "of questionable authenticity"

I'm only saying things in terms of Battletech canonicity, not hating or anything.

I want clan mechs introduced, but only so I can destroy them and show those clanner's why we dominate the inner sphere

My fear is that because of the complexity and the steep learning + skill curve, the entire game will be dominated by 2-3 elitist jerk clans. Anyone else joining will be unable to advance, or only at the cost of spending far more time doing whatever variant of meaningless tasks they've come up with for this variant of MMO.

Mechassault is a dumbed down version of Mechwarrior, Not to say it's bad it just too easy,

mechwarrior was more of a pilot in a mech simulator, Mechassault is just a third person Mech vs mech shooter type game

But my major issue with it is the lack of clan mainly cause it like star wars without the sith.

Although this could just be me Fanboyin,

I'm pretty sure clans are gonna arrive at some point during the game, causing a shotstorm of awesome violence. Personally, I've always preferred inner sphere mechs anyway.

FUNFACT: in the Battletech universe there's about 700 years of history with mech combat, the clans are only in 80 of those years and their invasion lasted a mere 10, so yeah, the clans are obviously the most important thing to have in a Mechwarrior game.

That and the fact that the inner sphere is not united, as indicated by the various powers such as the Draconis Combine, The Federated Suns, and depending on the games time setting, the Chaos March may also be included, along with other major powers.

MechAssault is so far removed from Mech Warrior it may as well be a different franchise. Assume nothing in MechAssault is even remotely close to canon in Mech Warrior.

That being said, I would like a new MechAssault, it made for a very good game.

I consider myself to be a complete nerd but honestly, I have no idea what you're talking about here.
I guess I'll have to check Mechwarrior stuff to figure it out.

in short if you enjoy warhammer you may enjoy Mechwarrior / Battletech is how i see it, Mech with high tech weapons blasting the ♥♥♥♥ out of each other (with epic results)
Even more so when you have the Clan army filled with assault mech's or heavy class just all over the place.

however i never considered it to be nerdy.
Then again i do enjoy warhammer series, D&D battletech and flames of war as well as other stuff like almost every star wars game to exist, (good ones that is) which a large sum of people call nerdy,


That said there's always something loads of people know yet you don't.

Also, if you like Mechwarrior, have a look at Heavy Gear. Its not got massive mechs, but more like exoskeletons. It also had two games. The second unfortunately, hates modern machines, but the first is most likely still functional.

Hell, the first has alot of depth on customization. I always had reinforced hydraulics on my suits legs. Slower, but lets my legs take a hell of a pounding before being damaged. But that extra weight means the wheels on the bottom of the feet go slower, and that my mech needs a more powerful power plant and engine.

So I skimped on weight by removing the ejection system.
