What if MWLL was ONLY mechs...

[Zakatak]

Of course we aren't going to change anything now, but how many of you think that if MWLL was ONLY mechs like every other MW, would it be better? Worse? Equal?

completely agree.I despise air units and long tom.Mechs,tanks,and BA....and even to a lesser extent long tom (blech).are all playing the same game and fit pretty well together.aero's however,have never felt like they "fit" to me,or added anything to the battlefield other than my own e-rage.and probably never will.

Durrr i r haet air plaens

I wouldn't go as far as hate, but I certainly don't like facing air assets.  I can't say I believe they are OP, because I have almost no success with piloting them.  I like all the mechs, tanks and BA... but every time I have ever been really frustrated in a match, I was on the receiving end of a beat-down by an Aero I couldn't even track before it was out of range or a VTOL circling right above me.

Trying to take a neutral pov.... the mod would probably be more popular, with higher player retention..... but it just wouldn't be the same. It'd just feel like mw4 on the crysis engine. If it's not a mech, it takes 2 hits tops.

If MWLL was 'Mech only, I wouldn't be playing it anymore, I'd play MW4 instead.
After all, without the combined arms aspect, it'd be MW4 with shinier graphics but less choice in 'Mechs and, so far, no customization.
So why play an unfinished MW4 when the real one is free?

I won't lie, I like flying, especially dropping some bombs on the head of an LRM/Gauss/LBL/LT camper is really satisfying.
I still pilot 'Mechs most of the time, but without the option to do something different from time to time, MWLL just wouldn't be the same.

lol @ sanny. I love dropping fire bombs on you. Anyway, if it werent for the combined arms aspect of this game I feel like it wouldnt stand out very much. And we have maps like the marshes and such to display what the game would be like, and to be honest it tends to get boring for me on those maps because everytime i play them someone always gets an LT and just keeps the shells falling. If theres no LT, then its LRMs. I'm not saying they're OP, but they tend to make the match slow and repetitive. I love blasting a LT or LRM-boat with LBX just as much as the next guy, but i would really love to have another player bring a brawler mech for us to do a circle of death. The aeros add that always-gotta-be-moving element to the game which keeps things exciting. I <3 my mechs too, but i will always be thankful that the devs have added the whole BT universe to this game.

P.S. This is also why i cant wait for an urban map that disallows aeros/vtols. Would be great to see beatsticks and maulers going toe-to-toe without annoying long range assets getting in the way.

As long as the urban map has long corridors of fire (main street) and a park or side area that goes out in the countryside, LRMs will still have their place. Brawlers duke it out in the city, everyone else lends fire down the streets, (on/in the buildings, oh my!) or disrupts troop movements on the outside. This, I'd be keen on.

Strafing runs or bombing runs in an aero along main street in an urban area.
Now theres something fun.

To rooftops where you can't hit them from ground level?
