PSU Halo 2 night went splendifferously, so who'd be interested in one for MA2: Lone Wolf?
The game is tons of fun. Not only do you have tons of mechs that are divided into four classes, but a stealth tank, VTOL that can bring supplies to teammates, carry turrets, drop bombs, carry Battle Armors, and airlift the tank.
Finally, you've got battle armors, roughly infantry sized suits that can fire mortars, pulse lasers, hack into enemy Mechs and boot out the pilot, hitch rides with the VTOL and ride piggyback on friendly mechs, and cling to the sides of buildings for urban engagements.
Any interest?

We could totally just go around in battle armor and latch onto friendly mechs and sing to them. AWESOME!

UPDATE:
I bought Lone Wolf today. I haven't played it yet. Got to whore the forums first... :D

I've been playing with Inf and a few others on my friends list. I like it a whole lot. So Dhark, you better get it if you haven't already!

I've got it but my motherfucking live isn't working. :(
Holy shit. I am SO getting an Xbox, this game, Halo 2, and Xbox Live.
Jesus this game owns. So....is this nigh going to happen anytime soon?
I'm in. I own at this game. Just watch your back, I might be hacking you.
Nothing better then jumping around and neurohacking some guys mech... its cool, too, that the powerarmor is finally a viable weapon (YAY! The Elemental has finally been affirmed as useless!)

I played *all day* today with my clan. We lost one time, in the entire day.
I'm still waiting for a Planetside like mmo(although not in game physics, just the basic mechanics of the game with certs and stuff)
for Mechwarrior
Mechs are strong against mechs and armour, but weak to infantry with AT weapons and aircraft. Combat is somewhat realistic like you would expect, with it not taking 73 bullets to kill a single guy.

Why would mechs be strong against mechs, but weak against infantry with AT weapons? Most of the projectiles a mech fires are twice the size of an average man.
Because people are able to run around and hide, and ambush, as well as are harder to hit further away because of their size. Most the Mech weaponry is not explosive also. Since Mechs would have to come in close to infantry to kill them they'd become prey to AT weapons.

They'd only be able to get one shot off before they got their shit ripped, so unless they were shooting at a scout class mech, they'd be fucked, because nothing a human could carry would be able to bring down anything bigger in one shot.
WTF? Apparently you are ignoring modern AT weapons, and how you could assume that weapons would continue to be developed, and you assume it has to be one shot. Taking major damage from something you can just see the tail of isn't going to help when the infantry runs and moves into a totally new area.

Most of the huge weapons on mechs can't take down another mech in one shot, so I don't see how anything carried by a person could. And it'd have to be one shot because after that the mech would most likely find them and blow them apart.

Planetside has one hit one kill tank weapons, that doesn't immediately happen
In fact, Mechs would have a harder time as they're much long and designed for long range combat with their massive silhouette. And the missile weapons aren't that large, except the SRM and LRM 20s or another count. A HEAT missile could be created and easily explained as having high power again armour, but with low range.
My point was that weapon development has been one step ahead of armour development, always. So, one would assume that an anti mech infantry weapon would exist. Most AT weapons require 2 people anyway, so a good way to balance it would require a loader. Super teamplay? SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. A lone wolf player shouldn't be doing much other than joining raids and adding more meat or maybe infiltrating or sniping.

Yeah, but I mean the weapons on mechs themselves cannot take out another mech in one shot (In most cases), so if the mechs can't do it with their gigantic 10 foot long artillery shells and huge lasers and fireballs and shit, what makes you think something an infantryman could hold would be able to?
It wouldn't take one shot, and looking at the size of the weapons, most weapons aren't that large, there's just a lot of them. HEAT weapons have always been able to do major damage to tanks, killing the crew or destroy instrumentation, and a similar design in the future will probably exist. Wonder why there's those fence things on many tanks? Because if it weren't for those the tanks would have no defense against heat round, and adding those to a mech would weigh it down significantly, weakening firepower, if they did exist.
