No, it is not. It does not give new contacts, it simply allows you to keep your lock when someone circles you.

actually it allows me to shoot people who are behind me with streaks, which is just as powerful. you cant get locks from seismic.

Wow, no. You're an ID=10T.

It does not maintain missile-locks. Go away little boy, before some grown-up spanks you for talkin ****.

Yeah, count me as another guy who agrees that Seismic Sensor needs a whack with the nerf bat. I mean, I find it kind of funny that people are fretting about the upcoming 3rd person view giving people an unfair advantage by allowing people to exploit the camera to see over and around cover - but Seismic effectively allows you to see through cover and it's already here.As it is, Seismic Sensor is pretty much a REQUIRED piece of equipment - if you don't have it then you are at a distinct disadvantage.

When I run around in my 733C brawler, I don't find I'm being nerfed by it at all. In fact, it helps me greatly. There have been several times I have stopped before turning a blind corner, and approached an area from a different angle or waited for circumstances to change, because seismic let me know I was about to run face first into the hornets' nest.


You're either confused, or being ironic. Either way, thank you for providing a relevant example to the exact problem!

It's 400M maxed out. Easily seen if you hug the cliff wall outside the cave, even from the elbow by ridge.


I must admit...this is a part of the current meta I've never thought about. Totally went below radar for me (yeah...unintended pun here lol :P). Might be another stone on the grave of viable brawling. And I bet many of the 24/7 players sport this little wallhack in all of their mechs. -.-

The only sane people who don't use it are ones who don't know about it yet, or ones who haven't built up enough GXP or cash for it.

He was saying it hurts brawlers. It helps brawlers. I gave a counter-example to show it. If the problem is that people aren't walking into blind ambushes because they have and use sensors, I say too damn bad.

Seismic is ruining this game as much as hit detection and weak SRMs. There are no surprises in this game. There is no flanking in this game. It has hurt brawlers badly.

Make Seismic range=100 or less.

Lag, primarily. The 360 retention module had nothing to do with it.

I don't know how I feel about this module. I mean yes it allows me to know where the enemy is through any obstacle and yes it seems to be a must have or you're at a significant handicap in any situation. However I have spent GXP which is a slow grind to get it (especially with how frequently I play), so if it was removed could I get the GXP back?

They would have to refund the GXP and C-Bills if they removed it. Unfortunately, they will most likely use that as an excuse not to... and just nerf it into uselessness. :P

So, it took you almost 1.5 months to realize how epic the Seismic Wallhack actually is?

Just imagine if the nerf bat never came to it (like ECM for the most part)... because they said they would nerf Seismic, but that has yet come to pass. Of course.. ECM never really got much of a nerf bat (until you made BAP a hard counter - the worst idea that was ever thought of).

The last group...that's mine. :P I mean okay, 6 millions are not that much. But then again I wouldn't want to swap it around everytime I change the mech. So I'd probably need 7 (yes that's all my mechs). :angry:

So, the super l33t players say, if you function as a turret waiting for people to show up in your sights, you don't need it.

Great, 98% of the players actually run around the f**king map and do stuff during the match, so your opinion is f**king ********.

That's a hefty hunk of change... :lol:

I have 2, as I'm usually only switching between 2 mechs on any given day... (and no, that's not all my mechs). :P

360 degree module and advanced target decay?

Or maybe streaks are just retardedly broken.

Yeah but if your opponents have Seismic they are doing the same thing!

The day Seismic Sensor came out I bought 4 of them. Then I grinded more cash to get more. They are on all my main mechs, even Stalkers, which only have 2 module slots. Yeah I could swap them between mechs, and sometimes I do since I have 40+ mechs and don't have 40 sensor modules. My point is, the ******* thing is so over-powered, I have spent over 30M CB on them.
