[stuff about falling over in MWI deleted]

: p.s. Or is this just my fevered imagination, remembering something
: from a different game?

No, it was there! You could fall down after landing (as someone pointed out)
or also get knocked over by a bigger mech (eg run a locust top speed into a
marauder -> fall down). I even seem to remember doing that on a few
occasions (running in at top speed to come in close, under their line of
fire, and then pepper away at their legs), getting knocked over and having
the other mech "standing" on a leg or something so that I couldn't get up.

One good thing about being knocked down was that the other mechs couldn't
fire at you :-). Ahhh, MW1, now that was a *game*!

Cheers,
Doug
