Map is good, assault mode has always been and always will be terrible tho.

Terra had me rethink my latest build. I am a supporter of the cap mechanic (if my team gets capped, it's because we got outmaneuvered, full stop). but I drive a slow heavy, and have always relied on other light/meds to counter. It seems that "role warfare" is out of vogue, these days (and why not? That Spider has a pretty good chance of bringing down more Atlases than some heavies!) and I'd rather offer a solution than grief about it. So I wanted to be able to counter a cap, if necessary, on a big map. I'm trying sacrificing some firepower for a bigger engine (speed).

I haven't run it enough to know if it will help solve the problem, or if losing some dps is worth it, but I can tell you I'm having a lot more fun moving around in a faster, more agile mech than I was inching along across the big maps like a turtle. The game really takes on a whole new and fluid dynamic when played at speed; I think I'd like to get good at operating within that dynamic.

And this has me thinking about my next mech, and the developer's recent posts expressing a desire to buff mediums and carve out a bigger niche for them.

Maybe I'll wind up driving one of those "useless" medium chassis I've been hearing so much grief about.

And a computer. I'll definitely need a better computer.

Terra Therma is actually really fun for Conquest, Assault mode, not so much. Kinda like Alpine, but Terra Therma has something going for it that Alpine does not, and that is the undeniable fact that Terra Therma looks way better.

Also...

One does not alpha PPCs in Mordor.
