Got into a pretty amusing duel today.

Spiders are an amazingly fun mech to pilot.

Cool. I like spiders, its just unforunate that the state of SSRMs makes it so much harder to play them.

Honestly though, if you make good use of their jump jets, you can pull off good damage numbers and some really neat kills.

Too bad only one variant is viable due to ECM and best amount of hardpoints.

I wouldn't mind Spiders, if the heavier mechs could actually look up. I'm so sick of Spiders jumping higher than I can aim. They hide behind a hill or building, jump over me, fire, then land back behind cover. I can't even shoot them because my weapons don't aim that high.

There needs to be a much longer cool-down between uses of jump jets in this game. I love having jump jets in the game, but as is they recharge way too fast. There are more and more jumping snipers (of all weight categories) in matches as of late.

I have no problem with someone using their mech's abilities to their advantage, but designing the game so that one type of mech can effectively be impossible to hit on every map ... that's just not right.

What the... Is that what everyone else's game looks like? WHAT? Please tell me that's a laptop!

Other than that, I love the spider buts against other lights it almost always loses. It's very fun to pilot though. Good vid.

Made my day.

But hey: At least the missiles your 6xSRM6 are firing into the sky don't cost you anything, since ammo is free nowadays.

Yeah...if this is how he's actually playing than he has my deepest sympathies, too. Low fps, lag, screen tearing and graphical glitches. No wonder he hardly hit anything. If not for his teammates he wouldn't have survived the duell with the other spider, let alone the match.
