<div class="IPBDescription">MAC is too short, both are too similar</div>Change either MAC or MASC to something else. They sound way too similar. Especially since both of them are commander controlled units. This can lead to confusion over voice communication.
Probably best to change the MASC name since it's not yet released. Just calling them Siege Robots/Vehicles/XYZ's will work perfectly (it probably will be shortened to "Sieges" by the players).
MAC is also too short to search for in the NS2 forums (needs 4 letters). The MAC's name must be changed, or the search protocols need to be changed.
MAC is also the word for a operating system, but eh, whatever. Very little in game confusion will be caused from this.

Don't call anything MASC because I'll just think you're both uncreative and that whatever it is will make you go faster.
THAT'S THE COOL PART! JUST LIKE THE TOP 100 IN THIS COUNTRY DOESN'T EVEN LOOSELY RESEMBLE MUSIC!

also, the Mac will just be called Bot by the majority of players. so... doh.
I'd say it looks like a badger (the tracks look like feet), a warthog or a boar (the little spikes on the front look like teeth).
Why Assault ? Of course it is Assault ! IT IS A CANON ! :)
So you have MACs and M.S.C. It won't be spoken the same ever

then you have MAC and MSC, a difference of one letter. S and A are right next to each other on a qwerty keyboard. I could see typos causing quite a bit of confusion in this setup >_<
call it "siege" for christ sake!
Temphage, making a Mechwarior reference earns you some e-points. Congratulations.
On topic: I agree one or the other should change name. You can presume players will adopt nicknames in short order anyway, because that's what gamers do, but for the purpose of communications it'd be a good idea to keep them seperate, so when players refer to one or the other it's clear immediately.
