Reseen LAMs and Quads / QuadV's
Long shot of it ever happening but yo
No game besides I think 2? has ever had any of these. 2 I think had the EARLIEST model Quad leg mechs, a few.
Just like a mod for all the obscure things thats never been in a MW game.

Also holy heck how much longer are we going to have to wait for proper Melee? 2239?

Quadvees are post clan invasion and incredibly stupid, so we probably won't see anyone making those. I'm all for standard quad mechs though, this game has a severe lack of Scorpions (the 55 ton mech, not the incredibly cheap light tank that you fight in every mission)!

The amount of work required to introduce a quad mech would be substantial. Not only would you have to code in and create all brand new animations for a new four legged skeleton rig (cause you can't just borrow one from another mech, they're all bipeds), but you'd also need to handle tilting the whole mech and how that effects the game (bipeds bend their ankles and hips to handle steep inclines, not an option for a quad), plus they'd need to model the entire thing from scratch (there is no established MWO model to borrow).

That is a lot of time, effort, and energy, for something that would be awkward and difficult to even get working in the first place, and would probably never look right even under ideal circumstances.

So the chances of ever seeing that done are well far bellow someone doing something like grabbing the Fafnir model from MWO and porting it over to MW5.

Last I heard he was tweaking animations, searching for the crit slot layout from lore and waiting for something in the MW5 editor to get patched.
