I'm very much in favor to the idea of a mech. And since simply dropping anything into the game is gonna mess it up then the same goes for a mech introduction. Thus you introduce something like a Mech along with a bunch of things that balance it out as well.
A Mech for example could be something that could require all your certs in one area thus not everyone would be willing to sacrifice every other position just to use a mech. Mechs, like all things would have there draw backs to say the least. One of the best things about adding a mech would be the immense size and scale it would add to everything. a lone foot soldior would likly indeed choose to hide when he sees a mech on the horizon but that hardly makes the mech elite against all. A couple MAXs coming up behind a mech could do serious damage if the system is balanced out. Not to mention the tanks and other things.
A Foot soldior to a tank right now would be a buggy to a mech in commparison perhaps. Anyways. Point being games like Mechwarrior don't give you the since of size like a lumbering, 3 story mech would to a player standing beside it in PS.
