in cw, dude taking charge makes the call to begin pushing.....the 8 noobs on the team enter the gate and STOP. 4 people actaully pushing get zerged, and then the nerdrage begins.

[Podex]

Was I that dude by any chance? Oh wait, you said that people actually went through the gate, not just him.

Happened to me on the kurita front.

Here's how the drop started:

1- It was all pugs. The Kuritans had a 6 man (SLMJ or something like that. In all honesty, kudos to you guys, you did a great job.)

2- It was Invasion, Boreal Vault. So we needed to be mobile to rush the gens.

3- We started the drop with 4 FOUR! LRM boats, including 2 stalkers, a Catapult A1, and I don't remember the fourth.

4- The team took 4 minutes to open the gates (I had to open alpha myself by sacrificing my Firestarter, because the idiots wanted to have a snipe fest)

5- No designated drop caller, I took charge, and organized the group, with one guy (unit less, nonetheless), insisting that we should just dig in and slug it out with them.

6- The enemy team already had a 5 kill advantage before we started the push, but brainiac refused to listen.

7- Tell my team to get ready for a push and to stay hidden. 5 of them decide "stay hidden" means get into a poke fest with the kuritans, and let them know exactly which gate we're coming from.

8- 3 fast movers switch to beta (The original drop caller is one of them, bless his heart, he knew what needed to be done)

9- Start push one (score is 8-0 btw), with 4 LRM boats in the main force, and 4 ECM mechs at least on the enemy force.

You can guess how that went

Illustration:


(Hint: We're the guy in blue)

10- Original DC and the few fast movers with him manage to get one generator down by force feeding themselves to the enemy team.

11- Original dumbkoff keeps yapping about how we need to just kill all the defenders, instead of the traditional cripple/kill while moving approach that is common knowledge from day 1.

12- Team is always fractured between the camp that actually gets pushes, and the camp that decides sitting at the gate, stopping half the team from pushing so they can trade shots with no less than 8 mechs lined up as one firing line.

13 - Push 2 gets generator 2 down to half health

14- I'm trying to coordinate all of this using a keyboard. In fact, I fired almost no shots in my pushes because I needed to crank out orders to the pugs, while dumbkopff keeps on yelling about how we could have won a kill fest with defenders on Boreal Vault, after we gave them a 5 kill advantage before the first gate even opened.

15- Push 3, the rest of the team FINALLY sees the light, and decide that a combined push with all 12 of our mechs can do damage. Except we only had 9 pilots left by now, and I was on my last mech, a King Crab.

16- We push, with only 9 mechs, no ECM cover, no fast movers, and we make it into the enemy base, and get cut down in short order after destroying the second generator.

17- Game ends with a loss, and doofus is still ragging on about how we could have won if we just fought and killed all the defenders.

Conquest in my light mech - and I get a Jager following me around trying to cap.

His reasoning?
He has an XL - so he must be squishier than my Mist Lynx.

I did it, I ragequit a match. I've never done it before but I was so upset. When we spawn I get half my armor shot off, not at once but maybe half a minute in so I don't think it was someone alt-tabbing. Then a Timberwolf gets in my face and makes that ******** motion and blasts in the air. I don't know if it was him that shot me but he was behind me so he was a good candidate.

So much this. If they apologize quickly then I don't care as it was probably just a misclick. If they don't or if they are an ass about it then I respond disproportionately. It's only fair right?

Dear goldforums.

Over christmas and new years, I famously decided not to play much MWO, and instead engaged in various fighting games and actual shooters made on arcane, outdated, PS3 compliant graphics engines.



Why can't MWO rival deus ex 3 graphically?

Since I do very little CW it has come to the point where I'm seriously considering whether it's worth it. Today I had a match that started with a TK. Someone responded, then another, It was war, only it was civil war. We had 6 guys down before we even met the enemy. Two matches later the same thing happened to the red team but the names were different (could be alts. I guess).

What the hell is wrong with the solo queue these days?

If it happens once ok but if this is a new trend it needs to be policed somehow or it will drive people away.

I see hit reg is absolutely crap again...

[loopala]

so i have been tearing stuff up in a KGC 000B lrm boat, don't judge this thing is a killer . i decide to turn on the camera and bang all i get is vid of me getting stuck and cored while doing mediocre damage
if you need me i wil be over in the corner curled up in a ball dreaming about a world with out ams..

[Neutron IX]

Tonight...I finally. FINALLY!

Finally.

Broke 1000 damage in a match.

1045 damage, 4 kills, 6 assists. Crimson Strait. In my CDA-2A no less.

And so my whine is that, I of COURSE, completely forgot to take a screenshot. I was so dumbfounded, not only that I'd finally done it (since, while the match felt pretty good, it really didn't seem like I had had THAT kind of a game), but that it was in, of ALL my mechs, a freaking Cicada?!

Not in one of my Cataphracts, Jagermechs, Kintaros, Centurions, or Blackjacks that I love so much, but in one of my freaking Cicadas?

The game, she is sometimes strange, no?

Last night in my Summoner, I hit a firestarter at sub 50m range NINE TIMES with a twin ER Large laser combo. that's around 198 damage? ALL of these his hit his torso. The thing is that's enough damage to kill him both front AND back-yet his armour went to...yellow.
Quite a few of the euro players I know have these issues. What's the point of things like CW when we can't guarantee doing damage when we hit?
ALL autocannon are hit and miss for me, sometimes ppc just doesn't register and srms..well....now it seems lasers are at it too:(


Whine part 2:
PUGS:
If you play like a lobotomized sheep, offering no communication at all during the match and barely hit triple figures and get called on it-have the grace to take that comment on the chin. sit back and reflect on what you did and why, then don't do it again!
Don't get all self righteous defending yourself when you know what you did or rather, didn't do. Nasty people are not always going to mollycoddle you, they sometimes will call you on your behaviour and/or play. Life is tough...sometimes the same nasty people might actually TELL you what to do! OMG!!!!!one!!
Maybe they just might know better than you do, it might be a nice idea every now and again, to LISTEN.

The world isn't centered around you and you rights, it spins just fine without you. So moxy up and play this TEAM game as a TEAM, not as memyselfandIwarrioronline.


Thank you.

because the engine was free to license
while powerful, hard to master probably

while unreal engine would be a lot easier to use (well my opinion on the matter, but I've seen Epic showing off some of they're level building tools and boasting how easy it was) but wouldn't be free

sigh

[EpicWarrior202]

So I was pugging in a partyback on TT and I told my team to push the center. There were a few heavies there.No one followed me and I died.
*sigh*
At least I still dealt 218 damage.

[Podex]

A friendly Banchee was behind my CNT-AH while we were getting ready to push on River City Night. Apparently he wanted to be where I was, so he sent an alpha into my rear CT. When I turned to see what hit me, he sent an alpha into my front CT. Needless to say, that was a short game.

Not cool, man. Not cool at all. >

I should have taken a screen shot.

[C E Dwyer]

Haven't been here for a while.

Pugs are getting so woeful in Arena battles and to scared to move that I'm getting scouting points with my assaults..

[3xnihilo]

I have lost 20 of my last 28 matches. . .I must be terrible if I can bring the other 11 players down THAT bad.
