If you want to enjoy gaming and good friends this is the Merc Corp for you.

I have said it before and I will say it again. If PGI is going to implement 3rd person view (which they are) then players should only be able to see mechs that are visible in the first person cockpit view area, not behind you or around corners. That will stop people for using it to cheat.. There should also be no hud map. You should the able to switch from 3rd to 1st person in game on the fly. If PGI limits the view area to the same as 1st person and removed the hud map then I am all for it. There would then be no tactical advantage to using 3rd person view. plus the angle needs to be low and just above the head, not up and over so you can have a clear viewing advantage.

Plus, I live in Europe and we don't want 3rd person just as much as America. Stop blaming the Europeans or anyone else for the decisions of PGI. This is all about money and getting more people to play and pay, which is fine since no money = no game. I payed to play, just like a lot of people. But own up to your decisions and don't blame others.

Pretty sure this will turn into a PPC Stalker feast with the Cool Shot being the cause. It will be the same as the start of Artemis and the UAC5 before they were fixed.
What I really think PGI should do, if they plan to keep the Cool Shot, is to have a heat build up penalty of 5% to 10% after you use it. This would off set the bounes you get from it.

The real problem is that the devs forgot to take into account that ECM's work both ways. While you can jam enemy radar with it, it should in fact jam your radar as well if it is used as a jammer. This would be the most reallistic use of ECM's as it would allow you to sneak around behind the enemy, but not spot for missles unless you turned it off or got with in 200m.
