well, so much for the no flame war thing...

I'm sorry i am very pationate about Battletech and i cannot control myselfe when i read such BS.

To redeem myselfe i will now pilot an Stalker with only 6 ER PPC's to show how good i am in FPS.

and then you realize in just about every other FPS i can kill someone by myself in half the time it takes for a team to focus fire down someone.

battles are too fast? hardly.

sure, which is why it takes so much longer to drop a target by yourself, and why you have to focus fire to kill someone in ~5 seconds as opposed to just put a 3-shot burst of an assault rifle or fire a rocket in the vicinity of someone's feet to kill them, by yourself, not focus fire, in ~0.5 seconds

Have you tried not closing to within optimal Kill distance of Alpha Loaded mechs?

If your getting destroyed by AC20 fire, your too ******* close.

Gauss is ******** but a single tap on the section containing the rifle without armor and its a ******* bomb.

PPC's have their own issues, namely high heat. They can be overcome by closing fast and twisting to spread the damage as they overheat.

Perhaps you need to reevaluate your situation before boldly jumping into CQC with Alpha Monsters.

I'm deeply saddened by the newer generation of gamers. They're all so used to games like COD and BF that they don't even remember what a good brawling game is like. Sure, you can take your fair share of bullets in Halo, but get over it! We're talking Mechwarrior, a game that relies on Talking and Communication. When I get on a teamspeak server for Mechwarrior all I sometimes hear is a bunch of kids yelling at each other then when I try to give insight they either blow it off or yell at me and say I don't know what I'm doing. Well, that's what you get when a bunch of mainstream FPS gamers get when they mistake a Simulator for a FPS. (They're close to being on the same level realistically, but I have always seen it as a sim).

I think that all the crazy builds aren't necessarily bad. Ppl will always look for the most effective weapons in any game with weapons. I think in the battletech/mw universe u wouldn't run into 6 ppc or ac/40 much at all just due to the cost of it and overspeccing yadda yadda. I think you should get some kind of cut to c bills for changing a stock mech, just so that weird builds are more rare and probably vets. Maybe take c bill generation completely out if u change a stock mech.

I think all these builds work ok at this point tho. There was one match where it was me and one other teammate vs 2 of their guys. I helped out my teammate take out their light (with a double gauss blast right as the raven stopped). Then lost my teammate. I found the last guy, an ac 40 jms... well I ran out of gauss after like 2 volleys, leaving me with some medium lasers on a hot map. He cored me. Both cases of me killing the raven and him killing me were kills of opportunity that happened to work givin the circumstance. It felt balanced. But... how often would u run into ac40 or double gauss in 3049?
