My favorite config as well. I liked to spice up the Madcat MK II in MW4 by replacing the Gauss cannons with LBX's on the urban maps. Missles for long range and medium lasers and LBX's for a quick close in punch then back around the corner of the building.

The fact that they chose the Warhammer and Jenner has to be some sort of bizarro land in your face, and that its a throwback to classic Battletech, legal issues asside with those mech designs. I was half expecting to see some sort of Phoenix Hawk/Wasp/Stinger LAM fly over at the end... I swear that in every video game adaptation the "pilot base" of the Light mechs must be recruited from death row/mental asylums. This has me way too excited for reasonable thought at the moment.

It's always good fun. One of our friends has crossed it with the D20 Modern RPG system for some added flavor for campaigns.
