a refreshing idea for a mech


Good day to you all!

Now let me start by telling you that I am a mech fan. I love mechs and when they are done right I believe they can make most games that bit more exciting. I am aware of the concerns and fears about sticking a big hulking mech in the game and it just not fitting with the lore or being either too overpowered, or too weak for there to be any point in having one.
I do not think a "mech" is necessarily what is needed. What I will say is that whilst all the vehicles in this game are great, they are just effectively, a tank, a plane, a fancy quad bike and armored vehicle. Do we not need some new ideas seeing as it's a futuristic game. The max is the biggest " futuristic-like " vehicle we have here ( before anyone corrects me I know it's not a vehicle).

So, here's an idea for the developers and for anyone interested.
A mech is either too big or too powerful so meet in the middle and make something out of the ordinary and "futuristic". For example, why not have a one man mech that's in the shape of a tiger. Like a robotic leopard that's roughly the size of a 4x4 that can run fast with great maneuverability but light armor. Stick a big gun on it's back that does great damage but has a slow reload time. Why not make it a two man vehicle with 1 player controlling movement and the big gun whilst player 2 controlls the tail/machine gun. What I like about this idea is it's not just a vehicle but something different. I have many other ideas that you may be interested in that don't necessarily fall into animalistic categories but please send me your posts nand comments.

Thank you

Firstly I would like to say, I'm pretty sure this is the wrong area for this thread. You posted this in the "New Player Introductions" forum. This thread would probably fit best in the "Planetside 2 Idea Vault".

They already have something like this called "Harasser". It is a buggy/ATV with a drivers seat, a gun on top (several options for the gun, ranging from machine guns to rocket/grenade launchers), and a back seat.

You just described each faction specific tank: Prowler/Magrider/Vanguard
