When combined, the BattleMech takes the form of a giant, rough, bipedal humanoid. BattleMechs typically weigh between 20 and 100 tons and fall into one of four weight classes: light, medium, heavy and assault.BattleMechs have various weapon systems that include energy (lasers/flamers/particle projectiles), ballistic (autocannons, machine guns, Gauss), missile (long range missiles, short range missiles, streak short range missiles) and a variety of electronic monitoring/targeting systems. In conjuction with all of this, a BattleMech utilizes a series of heat sinks to help dissipate the large amounts of heat all of these weapons and electronics generate.How does gameplay work?MechWarrior Online puts MechWarriors into team-based and tactical battlefield where the victors swim in the spoils of war and are rewarded with the almighty C-Bill (in-game currency).Each team has up to 12 players and the two teams are pitted in combat in an enclosed battlefield.
