1. new item

 

Sabot Rifle Turret

 

 

 

2. pilot view

 

highlighted detailed view of pilot inside Mech cockpit for some Mechs like berserker, infiltrator, reaper, crt-recruit, raider, sharpshooter, and rocketeer.

 

choose your pilots skin color for hands and face in the cosmetics menu.

 

maybe even take a pic of yer own face and upload it to your pilot in the cosmetics menu.

Except for the CRT, none of those has a proper front window.

Good idea, though.

 

Maybe even an animation of your pilot climbing into the mech when you spawn?

Come on Crafty, you have been officially called out on your lies. Your online reputation is at stake here, this is just like an old school street race running for pink slips. Its run what you brung and hope its enough. Put up or shut the fuzzy bunny up.

imagine a regular tank with a windshield

 

no point in having windows on mechs :) its probably all small cameras on outside shell and on the inside pilot just wears vr gear or some wires connected to their head implants  :ninja:

 

but that sniper turret sounds cool and op

cool.  and yep all the Mechs are pretty much covered all over with armour.  but dagnabbit to be able to see the pilots in the Mechs you were fighting would be pretty dam cool.

 

'(KDR)  Bergwien' from what i see in those list of Mechs it looks like windows could go there but instead they are covered with armour.

 

'dorobo'  maybe, like in star trek 4, the windows could be made out of some type of alien transparent aluminum armour type of stuff.

They actually tried having visible pilots when they first started to develop the game. That's why some of the mechs look like they should have glass in them. I think they found it too resource heavy though, so they chose not to do it.

 

The turret idea sound fun :smile:  :tongue:

'SandSpider2'  cool.  and kind of a bummer at the same time haha, the resource heavy thing i mean.

 

but wow it would be awesome if we could see videos of the early tests with the visible pilots.

 

the Sabot Rifle turret would be freakin killer!  your on your last bit of health runnin from a battle you just won then all of a sudden a far away well placed Sabot turret takes you out.  :wallbash:

ye i thought about that it could be some kind of sci-fi glass that dont break.. but regular folk will still relate more to something that looks like a tank on legs.It's just more believable and much easier to implement..

Hey they could open up mechs in one of the menu screens to just show whats inside how pilot sits all the wires extending to diagnostic panels and so on. I guess that still would be alot of work for little gain :)

'dorobo'  very true.  i keep forgetting that it takes a lot to create an awesome video game and how the dev team cant just whip up something overnight.

 

seeing the workings for how the pilot sits inside the Mech for a menu screen would Rock!

 

maybe at the end of a death match or team death match when you see all the Mechs lined up, instead of showing a hologram taunt you can press a certain key and all of a sudden the cockpits armored door opens up and you see the pilot sitting inside waving or giving the good ol' thumbs up.

Why are there even humans inside our mechs anyway if the the vision is indirect and based on VR? Why aren't we remotely controlling bipedal drones instead of dying needlessly? Where's my immersion?

Because mechs are cooler than drones. Sure controlling an RC car or something is fun, but how much more fun is it if your ever lucky enough to get an opportunity to actually drive like that? Think of how fuzzing fun it would be to pilot a mech (risk of almost certain harm/death aside)

Also you think prosk, sentium, or even crion gives a fuzzy bunny? Pilots are replaceable

yeah but wouldn't it be even more immersive and realistic if we rolled back the changes that literally made Hawken into CoD and also got to kill civilian bystanders with unmanned mechs?? Devs pls relaunch as Drone Collateral Damage Simulator 2100: Reloaded

1,  LOL, that would be hilarious.  I'd use it.

 

2.  Probably won't happen.  I think WoT refused to model in a visible crew on their tanks because they were worried that it would mess with their ESRB rating which is also TEEN and for "mild violence".  May not be exactly the same thing, but you'd be depicting a pilot, in a mech, that tends to blow up and rag doll in battle.

'ATX22'  cool.  haha.  seeing fiery limbs explode every whicher-way would be pretty hardcore.  something a warrior like me wouldn't mind seein' but not for the general public.  gotta obey them governmental threat-to-shut-you-down ESRB ratin's i gess.   :rolleyes:

Eh, there are a lot of games out there where the players and NPCs produce stupid amounts of blood and gibs when dying from anything ranging from a paper-clip cut to a BFG9000 round to the face.  They'd just slap a mature rating on it.  Mostly, people who wouldn't be able to "handle" it would be the squeamish and those who can't discern real life from imaginary.  Neither group of said people should be playing these games anyway.

 

.. probably the best you could hope for is to have a droid as the pilot in Hawken... screaming "goodness gracious me... we're doomed!" every time your health drops below 100.

Except for the CRT, none of those has a proper front window.

 

Infiltrator kind of does. The signature struts of the a-class cockpit can be seen on the front of the Boot chassis, even though the viewscreen/windshield/viewing thing is covered over externally with white
