I took a screenie but it appeared all black on paint, go figure.

Here's the setup, im in my Commando with x3 pulse medium and srm 4 with 20 ammo left, and i have a Raven as my only ally left and were up against 5 mechs all on our 6 in the river in river city.

Luckily both of us communicated and focused down a mech one at a time starting from the weakest one. We first took down an AC/40 mech with yellow core, then finished of a Hunchback who was nearly cored. 3 mechs were left, an Awesome who was half crippled, a 85% Quickdraw, and a full health Stalker. We managed to take out the Awesome but the Raven lost a leg and was face to face with the Quickdraw with the Stalker shooting from 300m out.

I come in to the Quicks rear while the Raven unwillingly must take the front and we aim at the CT respectively. The Raven dies and the Quickdraw overheats allowing me to alpha strike twice for the killing blow. Now its just me and the Stalker who has 4 SSRMS and Med pulse lasers, my SRM's are gone and all i have are my x3 med pulse laser.

I play it smart and get around the Stalkers rear and manage to stay there not allowing him to ever twist my way long enough to lock on or get a shot on me. Here was the frustrating part, i managed to kill his rear armor and get him to a dark orange, now i counted at least 8 times i shot his rear, and either the hit did not register or it somehow managed to hit his frontal armor. Basically terrible hit detection. But still i was about an alpha strike away from winning.

I had to adjust to make sure i had a clear shot as his rear as he desperately twisted left and right, at the same time i was at 88% and did not want to risk overheating if my Alpha did not kill him. So i chose to Chain fire, and as soon as my first Chain fir hit, FREEEZE.

That's right, my game froze, basically seconds off the most astounding comeback victory the Raven and I were about to pull of ends because the game freezes. And if your wondering how often my game crashes/freezes. Maybe at least once very four days, and it just had to happen there an now. So mad at Piranha...
