I was one of those CTF-4x's, and it was an awesome, epic match XD

Did you get any kill? If you did then I might have to try THIS out....

Naming his LRM-20 Raven and not mine? Mine predates his! Mine also has the awesome-making Calvary charge. Something that makes up for the 320p screw-up.


That said, a practical fail build is a Cataphract 4x with 4 MGs, 1 large pulse, 1 streak and/or SRM-2/4. The saddest irony is that it has reached 593 damage in a match with multiple kills.

Well, it would definately be easier to get kills with it shooting multiple missiles at a time

I dunno, I think mine was more epic/in their face. I was in a pug, last man standing and I kill an Atlas I had been harassing FOREVER. Then I procede to run around the map while they chase me in vain. But yes you did it first

This is my awesome 8q. You do not want to be on recieving end of its alpha. Hard to use on mordor but effective on hpg and artic peaks or whatever its called.

3 ppc raven. So hilarious when it works

[990Dreams]

I don't know what idiot thought of this Mech but they need to be killed for the stupidity of this. 38 KpH and one Medium Laser? And the stupid thing has almost no armor cause of its tonnage. Honestly, this is stupid.

Spoiler

As for a Mech in the game, try this. I call it, The Bomb-digity.

[Mathium]

The worst that I saw many months ago was an Atlas D with only 2 machine guns and an AMS. When I was spectating he still had over 5 tons of ams ammo.

If by that you mean more hilarious, I favor the Hunchback 4P with 9 flamers.

Burn it all down.

Ahhh the "Death by Barbeque" mech. Yeah, I find them rather funny.

Most 'wut?' ever seen in a mech for me was an ONI-VA with 4xSSRM2, 2MPLs and an AC20. So much wasted potential. Too slow to chase the lights it was to kill. Too inaccurate to be much of a threat to big mechs. No JJ...

It just doesn't work for me.

It's a damn shame that ammo explosions of that caliber can't destroy other mechs too.

Ton for ton, SSRM ammo has the most damage potential, not AC20 which is 140/ton versus 250/ton.

Still, yeah.

If you think about it the explosions should launch the ammo and shrapnel everywhere. Same thing with Fusion Reactor Explosions. That'd make 'hugging' a Mech more dangerous (either as an ally or enemy).

[Kjudoon]

"Hugging" a mech should be dangerous for both mechs but catastrophic for the lighter of the two mechs if the weight difference and size is great. Collision damaged, based on tonnage differential should be use. If a Stalker with a locust or spider behind starts backing up, it should essentially look like this:

I once saw a Spider 5D with two small pulse lasers. He wasn't even running around, just popping up in one place to take pot shots. He didn't last long.

I thought AMS ammo blew up the best, or MG ammo because of their high amount placed inside a mech (like 1000 or 2000) despite the lack of damage per explosion.

In a match, I once accidentally crushed a friendly Raven's foot as a Catapult while jumping.

And my Stalker once crushed a Raven's leg.

Bad ones I've seen included: Atlas with 2 PPC's - that's it. Awesome 8T with 2 LRM 20's, nothing more. A Battlemaster with 2 AC2's, nothing else. Oh, and an Atlas with 1 LRM 20 and 1 AC2, and that's it. Hmmm... I know I've seen light mechs with a single small laser, too. There was also the "variety pack" Atlas with: An lrm 20, an Lrm 5, an AC2, 1 medium laser, 1 medium pulse laser, 1 large laser, and 1 large pulse laser. It was as slow as a glacier and completely useless. Oh, and every weapon seemed to have its own weapon group based on the way the guy was using them. Brilliant!

Theory-crafted bad ones: Anything covered in NARC beacons (at least until they buff them.) Energy builds that overheat and explode. Guns on legs with no armor or engines.

Funniest idea that I actually saw: The AC40 Cicada. I actually saw one of those in a match once. Unfortunately, the guy hid at our base - I understand what he was trying to do - and then marched to his death after his team died, dealing only 40 damage total.

Oh, and I did see a rather successful AC20 Raven once. He was very good at hiding behind people and shooting them.
