What the?!  BUG!?!  How is it a bug because you missed your shot and hit
the thing you are supposed to protect?!  That's just silly.  If you miss
and hit the dome with a nast shot, that's your fault, not the games.  If
you are saying that it is a "bug" because the mech stays standing after
the leg is blown off, it's not, it's how Activision coded it.  Even if it
fell you would have probably missed him anyway(if they fall, they aren't
going to fall automatically, they'll tipped over and hit about 3-4 seconds
later) because he would have been in just about the same spot.  ANd if
they could fall, what would you say if he fell ON the dome and blew it up?
Bug again? No way...
