I've been toying with the idea of starting up a mechwarrior type mod for 2142. Many features would be 20+ different battlemechs, air vehicles and exo-skeletons (elementals). Not sure if i want to even push forward since much depends on what the community wants. Just curious if you guys would even play something like that.

Well the very best of luck to you, but I think that the last team to have attempted something like this (for BF2) ran into a serious roadblock in the form of hardcoding.  I'm not quite sure exactly what the problem was, but it prevented them from using mechs.  They also ended up being shunned by EA and as a result by most of the community.  All morale was lost and they gave up.  They were trying to make a futuristic mod for BF2, and I suppose EA was protecting its interests because of the upcoming 2142, but since 2142 is essentially the same game repackaged, you may have similar difficulties.

$0.02
Cheers and good luck

The mod was Shattered Faith and their main guy, Scott Zier got a job at a game company...  The rest of the guys went to the First Strike mod(Starwars type)...    The problem they had was child pco's couldnt be added to a pco... i believe...   With 2142 you can do that now...
