This is a quick build, seems decent after a few games. The music is a nice touch, kinda quiet though to me. Can't hear it over weapons fire really.

Lol how much people are going to buy this mech? hundreds...
Looks cool though!
Looks like he has a high FPS though. Looks better than mine! Just!

Sold!

An AC10, why didn't I think of that haha Switched the gauss out for it and it works like a charm. Never been too good of a shot with the gauss for some reason, much more accurate with ACs.

Damn it! I didn't want one of these but now I do.

[MadPanda]

Can we get a real game video also? Killshots are nice and all, but how does it really perform in a game? Preferably not in a stomp .

[Archon Adam Steiner]

One of the riffs sounds more like (*barf*) country, or soft rock at best. Kinda ruins the whole 'heavy metal' bit... and it's still purple.

Is the XL Engine that much of a liability? I was looking at using a standard engine is the 5 kph worth the XL engine?

I don't think i've died yet to a side torso. I haven't found a reason yet to drop the XL.

Exactly what I thought.

So how does XL work on this?

Ya I was wanting to do a 3LL build too, but wih streaks it'd need an ERPPC IMO. An XL300 Gauss 2 LL ERPPC and 2SSRM seems interesting. I think I'm going to try 3LL LB10X MG 2SRM6-Artemis next.

Ya this video was just real quick so everyone could see/hear it. I delete recordings of pug stomps :-p

@ the last few posts, an XL doesn't seem too bi of a liability yet. I just got back from work so I'll see after I get more time in it.

[Pariah Devalis]

Shoved in an XL325 in mine. Have only died to a side torso hit, once, but it has as much armor as a cataphract's center torso there, so it is fairly durable. I run mine as a mid to front line pop-tart and line breaker.

Runs hot, but moves swiftly enough (or will, after speed tweak is possible), and absolutely shreds targets whenever it can fire all its weapons on a target.

I've tinkered around with the Highlander and this build I love,Kudo's to you both.

[NRP]

The one notable thing about the Heavy Metal is it is SLOW! I'm running a STD300 and at 54 kph everyone leaves me in the dust. I might try rebuilding with a larger XL engine just for more speed.

I actually tried a few builds with the XL engine, found that people were going for my Side Torso, specifically the left side where the missile racks are at. So I came up with this build, more of a brawler/mid range support build, good manuverability good sustained firepower.

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...ce62f63399c3716

Ran it for about 6 hours last night, enough exp to do all the basics and bank up about 15k for the elites when were able to buy other variants.

That being said I might try your build, I do have an xl300 engine to put in it.

I wonder if it queues the music for all kills or just enemies... Yeah, OK I probably shouldn't even put that out there

LOL, I already thought it too actually. I can tell you that it doesn't queue though. If you kill a 2nd mech while music is still playing, nothing happens. It doesn't overlap, or play a 2nd tune. Don't kill stuff too fast!
