Put down the drink, it's time you learned to English.

Shame on you all.

I think the BT universe lends itself to a good first person shooter as a grunt. Avoid mechs. Help bust up tanks. Clear buildings. Watch as the building you're in collapses because a Firestarter fell into it. Would be fun.

>Put down the drink, it's time you learned to English.
Ok, as someone with an English degree who spent far too many years learning how to write correctly, you're both wrong. MechWarrior as a word is a compound word, It takes both words as its primary meaning by combining them. It is neither about solely Mechs nor Warriors, instead being about the combo MechWarrior. The definition of a MechWarrior, as provided by the BT rulebooks, is someone who pilots a BattleMech. By deduction, we can infer that the MechWarrior RPG should, on its face, be about the people who pilot Mechs and the adventures they get up to. It has an implied focus on the BattleMechs, as those define the MechWarriors in question, while also clearly being about the pilots themselves.

Stop arguing about stupid shit, the both of you. Now, go back to arguing about SJWs or Randall or Palladium or something else. This argument is too stupid to continue.

The insane infantry weapons would make very memorable stuff too. Imagine picking up a one shot inferno and having it be the BFG of the game or all the laser rifles and gyrojets and manpack PPC's on top of the more vanilla autorifles. Then the mechanized infantry small vehicles and the infantry support tanks and all that other stuff.

Battletech is very good at making a man outside a mech feel small. Play in the days before battle armor and it gets even more insane. The gear is crappier, the mechs are even rarer and more like walking gods who you hop to never meet and so on.

ok mom

Holy hell, could you imagine the scene where you're going down an alley, run into a Sentinel or a Wasp armed with inferno SRMs. The mech unloads on a nearby allied platoon and the horror. THAT would lend itself to a significant threat. I would totally play that. If only Pandemic was still operating.

Now do your homework.

Is that why the game is 99% female, black, and mixed race pilots
