Honestly I'm indifferently. Until I get a feel for how the game flows I won't be able to make any decision.

Its like what happened with Brink, I was stoked about using the Light body class with all its wall-running and sliding while still being able to hip fire. Game time comes and all Mediums and Heavies can shrug off the five or six SMG bullets I spray on them while putting me down like a monkey on drugs with assault rifles and chainguns.

Depending upon the game situation and match-type; I am also indifferent upon choosing a preferred mechanized choice.

If I am defending something I will go with a Medium/Heavy. If I'm set out to destroy or scout out a hostile area I'll go with a Light build.

It all comes down to circumstances and situational aspects of the game. Until then, my choice remains unclear.

Well, most of time I will deffend, but sometimes when required I will also atack. So I think I will choose medium class.

Heavy baby, because when I tromp around the corner I want people to back the fuck up in fear.  Just like rolling around the corner in an E-100 in World of Tanks.  Taking a shell from that thing ain't nuthin' to play with.

My mech was going to be medium. I would've given it backwards chicken legs a long cockpit and a blue paintjob. I would've named him Catapult after one of my favorite Mechs or Chesty La Rue.

RIP Catapult/ChestyLaRue you will live in my heart forever.

Haha, yeahhhh. Hope we have the opportunity to name our light mechs, I have a few choice ones from Watership Down in mind.

Mainly I want every movement choice available to me, especially sidashing, the 180 turns they described in a couple of the vids, and some heavy jump jet use. For game balance I would place a fair bet these will not be available on the heavies.

Speed is life!  :mrgreen:

most games I pick the tiniest mech then weigh it down with all the weapons, unless there is equip limits to weapons, in that case I'd pick Heavy with artillery flair.

I'll probably go for the compromise and go for medium. I can't stand a heavy, slow-moving mech but I won't settle for pea shooters as weapons. So yeah.

Hoovy. Always the hoovy. With as many explosives mechanically possible on it.

There needs to be a medic mech, so I can roll all opposition with it's assistance.

I think the medium should look like a mobile artillery walker. Like the thor from starcraft 2.

Lights. Because they're like Minmatar. And Minmatar is going down a staircase ducktaped to an office chair and dual wielding Uzis.

If I'm to be playing on a team, probably a heavy or medium, but rolling alone, I'd dig the light all the way. Of course, I haven't seen for myself anything about a heavy, so we'll see how it goes.

so far light and medium seem best to me just because the heavies dont have the best direct fire weapons
id love to be able to customize both weapons so i could have a two direct fire weapons would be nice because while the missles are viable its just that i dont like them
