Yeah, we do have 1 light, med and heavy as per hypers listing in the first post:
Light Mechas: 20-40 tons
Med Mechas: 40-70 tons
Heavy Mechas: 70-100 tons

Personally i'd of preferred weight classes as per Battletech:
Light: 20-39 tons
Medium: 40-59 tons
Heavy: 60-79 tons
Assault: 80-100 tons
This would leave us with lights and mediums in the same class and the heavies being bumped up to Assaults.
Having Weight classes as these would show the extreme weight differential between our heavies and the other mechs. I feel it is like this because people either want a fast light mech, or a heavy ♥♥♥♥ that can dish out Serious Pain. This leads to people choosing either ~100 ton or 20-50 ton mechs. From what I remember only 2 or so of the mechs submitted aren't in that range, and those would only just be scraping into the heavy class. just some food for thought.

Mechassault can go die in a fire for all I care (oh sure I have Mechassault 2, It's OK but not Good) Mechwarrior is where it's at.

Go go Hyper rolling gadget!

Yeah. Ever since MW4 went freeware, I've been all over that game. Talos is a epic mech, but you can only get it with the mektek pack.

That weight system is better. By quite a bit. It gives a large difference between Heavies and assaults, probably fleshing out the roles.

Rolling.

Vladimír Shurla [4]: You practically kick the door to the cockpit open, and stick your head out.
"Hey! Erroni! Or someone competent! My mech refuses to turn on, at all! Someone get your ass up here and help!"
Oh dammit, you can't even get down because someone took the lift. It looks like Erroni is dealing with someone on the ground over by Argus's mech. You resign yourself to wait until she is done, then you'll holler your head off at her.

Aark-han [2]: You do you best to maintain a formation with the rest of the team. Amazigh has the exact same idea, sadly. Your mechs lumber into each other, and his significantly heavier mech knocks you off balance. You go for a fall, but manage to catch yourself with the Van Han's left arm before you hit the ground. You breathe a sigh of relief.
Wow, that was terrible. Keep it together out there guys.

James Argus [10-3=7]: A silly dance would be a horrendously bad idea, considering the state your legs are in. You just hum to yourself while you wait, trying not to let the searing pain of your broken leg bones bother you. Soon, the promised medical team arrives. Erroni takes them off to the side for a second, and somehow convinces them to let you go fight. She's a damn miracle worker.
The team applies splints to both your legs, then lift your shirt and jab a tiny needle into your spine. It feels like a thousand burning needles in your legs for a moment, but then they go blissfully numb. You gingerly touch a leg to test it. You can't feel it at all.

You look around while the other two are handling their antics. The Blue Storm really hit Aussie hard. Nothing but windswept dust and rocks as far as the eye can see in most directions. Towards the south, along the coastline, you think you can make out some buildings about 2 km away.

"HEY ASSCLOWNS, SHUTUP!"
They shut up.
"Take turns speaking, dammit! I can't hear a goddamn thing on here! And someone get a lift over to Slot 1, I'm stuck in my mech's cockpit and it can't start up."

"Amazigh" [3]: You start walking southward, but you barely get 30 feet when your mech gives a lurch, and your left side sinks down for some reason. Switching cameras to the belly cam, it seems that your foot landed squarely on a manhole cover, one clearly not designed to hold up a mecha. Now that you look around, you can make out the faint imprint of a road around here, covered in dust. This... complicates things.

"Not unless you remove the needle. The drip you've got should last longer than any reasonably timed mission, and this is just a scavenging run. But just in case something does go wrong, we glued a hard plastic dome over the needle so that it can't get dislodged. Believe me, you'll be dead long before things get bumpy enough to make your legs feel any pain."

Game Events: Here you fellows are. Had to yoink it off an old backup we have of an online map database, so like it said, it isn't the greatest. But it shows the basic layout of the area, so it'll do. The Green X to the north is you idiots, the Blue X's are your targets. They're where we think the best chances for supplies are. The big red zone to the east is all dangerous. Stay out of it if possible. We aren't sure what is that way, but comm drones have picked up large heat signatures and movement out there. Something big enough to pose a threat. They've stayed away from this stretch of coast though, so outside the red is safe. It's your call whether or not to go after the targets in the danger zone.
