Who else see's this being a neat idea?

I mean being able to step, kick and shoot moving cars would be awesome.

And it'd make the cities feel even more alive.

This is already not going to happen. The developers have stated that the game takes place in a post apocalyptic world, so I doubt there will be many cars to drive, let alone people to drive them.

Maybe in a map where a mecha battle is breaking out in a busy city. On all the maps though? Naw. Even though we're seen what looks to be only an urban map, I'm hoping for rural maps as well in forests, mountains, even islands with underground submarine bases! Mech games are great, but the clash of realism and fantasy must be right to make this game great.

As previously stated, the game is post apocalyptic. I don't see this happening, I'm not saying there won't be stuff in the background (there are birds in one or more of the screenshots I believe, not to mention the wallpaper with all its crazy shenanigans), but it probably won't affect the gameplay other than being this beautiful, wonderfully rendered, attention getter. Besides, we have mechs that go boom, who needs cars that go honk?

I don't care about the cars. I just don't want ONLY urban maps, but rural maps as well! The Unreal 3 engine can do a lot of things!

Sorry, misread. Although I'm not sure about the rural part. It's a possibility, but with the way this games going, putting in something like, low, sloping hills just doesn't make sense :/

Imagine forests where you cannot see past 3 or 4 trees in any direction. How great would that gameplay be if the second you saw incoming fire, you gotta turn that direction and start shooting! I'm not saying to have completely open areas... but closed in forests that have very low visibility, islands that either force you to the beaches or hide in the trees for your enemies, or canyons where enemies can come at you from level ground or surprise attack from above.

All we can say is that there will be a few vehicles around certain maps for you to abuse =)

Well, not specifically cars, but other vehicles to destroy could be a cool addition.

Maybe NPC-controlled attack drones/choppers?

I'd add something if you do not mind. Imagine players can kick containers to slightly move them around, and for example, in order to make a container to fall down from a higher height on the map.

( Imagine a container well placed on the edge of a bridge... ). Would be something extremelly fun to catch by surprise one clumpsy mecha down there.

Can you see it?. :D

Messing up vehicles? I can dig it. There's just something about ruining someone else's car to the point where their insurance could never cover it that feels incredibly empowering :twisted:.

You just haven't played maps like this yet. Instead of thinking flat, think rolling. Not huge hills, but enough cover from elevation change to flank opponents. Imagine having teamates calling out enemy movements, then popping over a small rise to ambush from a flank.

Used correctly, cover doesn't have to be a skyscaper for your mech to be hidden. :D

I thought this was generally supposed to be a barren world we're fighting in. If cars are just randomly driving around the maps, I think it would harm any immersion in the game just because seriously, why would civilians be randomly driving around in the middle of a warzone?

What if there was an attack/defend convoy game type? One team defends a line of large armored vehicles of some sort. Maybe moving a small colony/base, moving precious materials? I have no idea. And the other team has to destroy it. I think it would be cool. Like a Mad Max scenario... but with mechs. :P

Interesting idea but no. It's warzone. Sivilians have nothing to do there.
