^^^ Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries!!!
Loved that game, although the graphics sucked pretty bad.
You've got a point, these mechs will only have an advantage on difficult terrain, mostly extraplanetary exploration/conquest. They're legs are an
extreme weakness as damge to them would lead to loss of mobility.
Also since i've played the game, know from personal experience that its kindve dis-orienting for the pilot as he continuously bobs up n down!!
These would be most useful in exploring unknown rocky terrain(extraterrestrial) along with tank like mechs..Still their legs seem EXTREMELY
vulnerable....
