AC is good don’t get me wrong, but there are just too human looking, I will not rant on about battlemech’s and so forth, but well to put it all in so few words.

A battlemech should be big boxy, loud, and devastating on the other hand powerarmor should be more sleek

I agree with you 100%, except for th epower armor bit. Those should also be boxy too. Not very intimidating being a power armor in a match against Assault mechs, so you might as well try and get some coolness factor in...


That fight sucked.

why not have mechs like the Vs's from lost planet?

Those were in my mind too

Big, Scary, Not streamlined, just like the Quake4 one is the way to go!

Yep, exactly what I'm thinking.

The way to make everyone have fun:

1. Vote
2. Multiple Vehicles

Hyuh...?

Mech Warrior.. i liked those games.. especially MW Vengenace..

Mechs, BattleSuits, or whatever they called, are awesome, and we should definetly make some eventually

I like MW Vengenace lots, but I prefer Mercenaries, its whats required to play with the MekTek packs. And that makes all the difference.

Mechs are fun, although I don't know how well they'd fit in PA, but I guess you guys are the ones designing it.
PowerArmor/BattleSuits/BattleArmor would be what I'd be using mainly, methinks. At least if it means I can still use my chainsaw and a shotgun against nigh endless hordes of enemies.

imagine this:
You and your large robot suit, wich is fitted with a chainsaw and a minigun, stand in an large destroyed city.
Suddenly, massive hords of Krao swarm towards you, coming from every corner all around you.
Well, just shoot ur minigun around and hack em in pieces with your huge chainsaw.

Beh... I'm not too crazy about that idea...

I'm thinking more of the idea of bulky armor that just kind of augments one's strength and stability and takes a hell of a beating. But it'd leave the hands unencumbered so you'd be able to use regular weapons like infantry.

Although a built-in light machine gun used for an Anti-Missile System would be nice for a more assault oriented variant...

How about having a variable parts system, just like in the Armored Core series, so that it tailors to our individual tastes?

Of course this can't be done in UT2004, so we'll just have to wait for UT3.

UT3? Or UT2007?

I hope UT2007.
But this idea in this topic here, I think it as the things in Lost Planet and Quake 4.

Some other people see it as a very big armor suit.
Wich one is it gonna be guys?

we'll have Mechs in PA.. no doubt

also, we have ideas for anti-Krao UTC infantry.. essentially big, versatile armour suit, tons of ammo in the form of belts, auto-shotguns, and various melee attachments.. think like those thing in The Matrix: Revolutions, only the robots are the human

Cool.

But drats...

I was hoping for something like some of the lighter battle armor in the BattleTech universe, or the Mjolnir armor from Halo, only slightly bulkier and stuff...

Maybe something like that could work as an advanced armor type, where it offers huge amounts of protection and stabilizes aim more than unarmored, but really slows you down lots.

Anyways, I loved those power armor suits from the Matrix. In fact, it was the only thing I liked from those movies.

SOmething similar to the lifter suit from the movie Aliens would also be cool too.

The closest thing that ever got mechs working in UT2k3/2k4 was Systemic. They function as a powerup that upgrades you to a larger player model, so the walking movement works. I've seen several other half completed UT2k3 mech mods, which never really worked very well. Real vehicle mechs have so far seemed to be coded as hovercrafts with moving leg bits. There was a very promising in progress mod for an APU out of the matrix with independent arm targeting, but it unfortunately never went anywhere.

If anyone has heard of a good mech mod for 2k4 that works, please let me know.

The updated version of Systemic for 2k4 is below, the updater combined it with the Sentinel turret mod.

The ut200xhq has it as well, but their servers are down right now.

Cool! I saw this for UT03 but was disappointed to see it wouldn't work for UT04. This is pretty cool.

Thank you, I have been looking for this

Its awesome, except after seeing the BW2.0 Minigun and using the G5 plenty enough already, the weapons just don't seem to cut it...

But, if you [RS] guys plan one making power armor sometime, I recommend looking into this, as it is simple enough that it is fairly glitch free, but complex enough to funtcion as power is expected to function, mostly.

Ugh. The Quake4 thing look good, but pretty pathetic next to mechwarrior awesomeness.

Oh, and whe brigand is pretty good. . .But for a straight light mech match-up, I've never been beat with my puma. 2xCERPPC, and a heck of a lot of foot speed and heat sinks. Weak on the armor, though, but anything lightweight gets killed in an instant and anything heavy is slow enough for me to land a pair of cockpit-shots in easy.

Yeah, the Quake4 thing does look a bit wimpy in comparison.

I love the Brigand, but no matter what mech I use other than heavy or assault, I can't fight by myself and win...

I have to have my bro fighting along side me in his uller in order for me to be a serious threat.

Puma is good, but I prefer Inner Sphere tech overall, and I generally prefer to go straight IS. But if I'm doing mixed mechs, clan has some pretty good light mechs, like the puma, uller, and cougar.

I actually stand a better chance against heavier mechs with outrageous fire power rather than light mechs. At least if I'm playing in a light mech.

Now, is it just me, or does the Brigand seem to take an unusually large beating compared to most other light mechs before it starts to break down?

If there would a mech for BW it would have to be:

-Non aerial
-Heavy weaponry (Chainguns and rockets mostly. A powerful autocannon or a gausscannon or an artillery cannon could go well.)
-Slow moving
-Heavy armored
-A very mechwarrior like ground only combat mech.

I'd say AC and Gundams are a bit too fast paced and too smooth for BW.

I agree, and the AC and Gundams just look silly. And stupid. And impractical. And wimpy. And...

You son of BITCH!
You have just hurt my feeling the worst possible way.

PREPARE TO DIE MORTAL!!!1 >: E



No srsly, I like and im obsessed with gundams and AC way more than mechwarrior ones.
As I said, it would be totally unfair to give such a devastating and fast at the same time to a random dood.
Ballistic wars is more tactical and VERY NICELY BALANCED so itl have to be a mechwarrior type.
Its just the balancing issues.
Otherwise if BW was something fast paced, super radical, weapons have their realistic capabilities (Super devastating I mean) and lots of air space to fly in at super high speeds... THEN I would have been spamming the thread with OMFG MAEK E GUNDAM ARMORED CORE FLYING SUPA COOL OMFGROFLCOPTER MUSTHAVELOL.

But its just for the sake of balance.

[size=8px]And btw, burn in hell you FOOL! Gundams and AC shall rule your world! MWHahahahaaaa[/size]

Right rule my world, ACs and Gundams... gotcha...

Well, first off, you need to calm down a bit...

And it might be a good idea to not be obsessed with such things, makes for an odd social life...


Plus, face it. Japenese "mechs" are just too pretty to really fit into the PA universe.

My thoughts:

What would be cool is to have two classes: Power armor & Mechs (Like suggested previously). Power armor would be the smaller, super-human sized stuff (Maybe make the Quake 4 mech sized down to "human" proportions, and toss in some other armor), and have some actual 'Mechs (Atlas, MadCat, BattleMaster, Behemoth/Stone Rhino = orgasm explosion if they were tossed into BW, or any UT mod...) that would be much larger, but [/i]much[/i] slower, than their armor counterparts, and could put out/take on a lot more fire as well...

Anywho, since MekTek isn't making MekPaks anymore ( ), if the team (Or remnants willing still willing to work with mechs) were to decide to help out in making mechs for BW, I think we could all agree that it would be the greatest thing to happen to the UT modding community since... BW

Xyx got some biped stuff to work like it should

Meh... I agree that Japanese mechas are just too fanciful to be made in real-life.

But methinks ACs are possible... they're like the cars you soup-up in Gran Turismo... They start out bulky and impossible to work with, until you buy the necessary parts to make 'em manageable, fuel-efficient, light and easy to maneuver, and sleek-looking (without looking too much like an anime mecha).

But I also love 'em Mechwarrior mechs... especially in Vengeance...

Let's just say I'm easy to please...

Anime makes baby Jesus cry . Gundam and such should stay in their own territory. Let's face it, they just wouldn't work in BW. Mechwarrior mech and battle armor on the other hand would be very awesome. I imagine it would be difficult to program though...
