Please vote! I would like to hear what other people would think of this.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by changing guns to different mechs_

So if I'm (Mech A) and I encounter teammate (Mech B ) we could swap loadouts_ I'm not sure I understand.

you can already customise your loadouts if thats what you're wondering

look at the videos that adhesive put up.

[BLADE_RUNNER_N6]

I'm slightly confused... But as other's have stated you are currently able to customize load-outs.

[BlackDeath]

You would be able to change your Primary, Primary Altunitive, and Secondary Weapons with the different weapons from A,B, and C Mechs. allowing you to place a sniper rifle onto a class C mech etc.

First off, did you mean "Primary Alternative_"

Secondly, I don't think there are three weapons. I think you have "Primary Alternate" confused with just alternate, or "Secondary."

Last, I was under the impression that your teammates were human players, not AI support units. I don't think a guy playing on the same server with you, happy with his Machine Gun/Laser Gun combo is going to be happy with random weapon swaps in the middle of the game, or being pestered with constant props to do so from an enthusiastic player with a sniper rifle he's just dyin' to give someone, omg someone take this from me.

And...Class C mech_ As opposed to Class A mechs, and...what are- what do you mean by tha- what do you mean by all of this_ EHRMEGERD MY BRAIN-STUFF.

[Symmenix]

he means that you would be able to use a light mechs sniper on a heavy mech and such.

why are you confused by this_
PS, YOU CAN ALREADY DO THIS.

[BlackDeath]

How I cannot use the sniper mech and the light one

If this is true i want Hellfire Missles on my Light Mech!!!

In my opinion each mech type should have there own set of primary weapons, but they share the secondary weapons, like in BF3. So you cloud have mech C running around with a TOW rather than a Hellfire. Otherwise it would be a bit unbalanced if mech A swoops in with mech C heavy weapons and blows you to pieces.

[EMEUTIER]

So if the OP's suggestion was used in-game ther would basically be no 'classes'. Hmmmm, no thank-you.

[EpicHam]

Different gun TYPES , but not switching guns DIRECTLY onto other mechs.
Since each mechs follow a certain role due to its weapon performance limitations , switching weapon TYPES must be done very carefully to maintain their role on the Battlefield while providing new play styles

agreed

[Dreizehn]

I thought what the OP meant was - the mech can change guns in the middle of battle. Like swap from my Flak to a Hawkins.

While I'd sorta like that, so I have a little more than a TOW to dislodge pesky Sharpshooters...

Though he clarified. And well, the classes exist for a reason.

[Quidius]

there would be no point for the different class mechs then. and no rolls. people might as well just pick a shell mech and build everything from the ground up.

[Maikeru]

There should be a variety of weapons that you can purchase. Some of them are for any class, while most would be mech specific. This would prevent the mechs from being wildly unbalanced. I don't see the problem with sharing utilitaring secondary weapons, though.

[ArnieF4440]

kinda like pre-alpha customization_


I kinda like it as it is with classes ...

[MIG_]

If there is a demand for this I think a mech of class a should be able to hold a sniper-system of class a and a mech of class B a sniper-system of class B ... otherwise you guys would probably destroy the balancing

[Northius]

i'd like to be able swap out the missile launcher for another gun.

And

I would like to be able to do weapon swaps and optomisations without leaving the server.

[wintersborn]

This lack of customization makes the whole game suck period. They need to put it back to the way it was before as shown in the video. They also need to allow you to spec ANY weapon on ANY arm so if you want 2 AR's or 2 TOW's etc. this fixed class/role fuzzy bunny is just that...fuzzy bunny. Since when is customization a bad thing EVER _
