Anyone around here play Mechwarrior2? :D

In my mind still the best MW game ever made, along with MW2:Mercs. One of the reasons for that is Jump jetting and DFA :D No Mechgame since had these nailed down as good as these two.

For those who are unaware of what Im talking about DFA or Death From Above is a risky manouver that can be achieved with quite a bit of skill by Jumpjetting into the cockpits of enemy mechs... :o

Its risky because its usually better to shoot at your enemies but sometimes in desperate circuimstances (for eg. when all your weapons are destroyed) it used to be a life-saver.

My question is, do you think that this kind of manuver will ever make it into MW:O??? (If they EVER bring back collision that is...)

They wouldn't include the Highlander if DFA wasn't possible.

It was here at one point, I did it to a team mate with a cat C4 in CB while trying to jet to a vantage point.

I imagine it'll make a triumphant return when collisions come back.

Can't wait to get into a Highlander. Looking forward to a 90 ton mech with JJs. Though, I like to see better JJs than the ones we have atm. I think the patch with the Highlander will roll out with JJ improvements. Maybe some ramming/DFA/etc effects too.

I haven't played with collisions, they were already removed when I got in. But I want the collisions desperately. I'm fed up with the lights running too close.

I DFA'd an enemy atlas in my weaponless stalker.
Shame it only did some piddling collision damage though :D

A team-mate DFA'd me once and killed himself doing it, which gave me the teamkill penalty.

I remember the first time I went into a match with jump jets - right at the start, I just held down the space bar to see how high my jenner could go, and then on the way down, completely by accident, I landed right on top of a friendly hunchback. That's the only thing I managed even closely resembling DFA in this game before they removed collisions.
