It is okay but nothing special. I use the 2D so I can have 3ML as backup. It does the sniper role good enough but lacks a knockout punch so people will often get your kills.

I built my Gauss Hawk on the Grey Death, with the same thinking, 4xML felt like the most usefulness/weight-effective backup armament. I run STD250 and CASE, so it can keep fighting with 2xML even after a Gauss explosion.

I like it for a change of pace, but when it comes to Shadow Hawks, I've never been able to find a build that doesn't feel like a self-imposed hard mode compared to a 3xERLL 2K.

If they gave the shawk a UAC5 jam chance reduction like they did with the Jager you could do something special with it i reckon

Just switch to "Owned" They've always been "ON" and need to be that way. A pilot that owns no mechs will come into the game thinking there are no mechs to use, if the default view is "owned" instead of "all"

Such useless teams tonight despite a fairly succesful few wins. Aside from the holy lrm rain which is all this game is now its backed up by people who refuse to front line.

And removing the turrets from assualt mode what the hell? Just been in a base rush where my team litteraly made a break for their base left my lance behind which eventualy got killed except me and a spider then started protesting over all chat not to go cap its pathetic caught up with my team to find an executioner a dire wolf and an adder capping their base so i fire a few shots into the ground in front of them. So the executioner turns and shoots me but i do nothing. I carried on protesting but alas so i waited for the last few seconds. Zoomed in on the executioners cockpit and alpha him. Luckily i didnt kill him but simeltaneously an enemy cauldron born engages me. Too late the ******* have won.

To the MM fairies, sprites, pixies, and/or gremlins whom I may have offended by making a remark along the lines of: "My elo must be at a really good place right now, I am having a lot of good, close matches." Please accept my sincere apologies, I have learned my lesson and will never do it again.

I just had an amazing game, apparently if you score 192 damage in a Myst Lnyx, you get accused of using an aim bot.

PUGS..*face palm*

implying aim bot would help mlx

*Sneaks on the flanks with my Atlas on Manifold around C5.*

Spots a KGC and a TBR on the big ramp.

Friendly BJ decided to come with me.

*I sneak on the ramp, managed to alpha TBR back and get the kill.*

Enemy KGC didnt flince, or notice what's happening behind his back.

-- What does the friendly BJ do? --

--> Medium laser the KGC in the back! My goodness...the little stupid pancake.

I wanted to prepare on low heat to take the KGC out when my heat was lowered so i could one alpha him.

I told the friendly BJ never to pull that stunt on me again, think before you act! KGC turned and i took unncessary damage as i facetanked him and our friendly BJ just stood there.

I get told to "STFU" by the friendly BJ.

Right here. Teampspirit gentlemen, pugscrub go pugscrub. I dont mind the teamwork, but i do mind the pubscrub mentality. Atleast think a little before you act.

wouldnt be hard to implement this.

default for newbie, trials on default
when they bought first mech, popup with filter change. Then disable trials forever.

[3xnihilo]

So, I had the best round I have ever had in a 'Phract: 2 kills, 570 damage...until the end of the match when it is down to me vs a hunchie...and I overheat myself to death. So dumb. Then drop into the next match and Mailin says "hi 3xnihilo" which of course is the kiss of death 68 damage and the whole team gets stomped in about 4 minutes.

Yeah, then we'd get the endless complaints from all the people with less than 50 mechs, about how they are getting sick and tired of having to switch the filter from "owned" to "all" because unlike most people, they only have 1 or 2 mechs to use, so they need the trial mechs.

A better solution would be a settings box that sets what the default should be.

I know that feel bro.

9 times out of 10 when I'm in a match with/against a fellow forumite, I embarrass myself, and play horribly. Not sure why.

i had probably my most passive round of conquest ever today

so, alpine, we were winning by cap, nobody wanted to fight and i had to stand behind and for the whole game didn't use a single streak till the end when we had 1 dead mech and enemy had 3 dead mechs, enemy lazily tried to cap a point (probably it was their very first try since the beginning) but quickly retreaded when they saw us approaching, here i lost all the patience, rushed to the enemy, tore apart their blackjack and was focused and gunned down... my team didn't followed that very nice possibility for a push, so, the game ended in 20-30 seconds with 2 mechs dead on our side and 4 on theirs.... i was like wtf was that

couple of really dissapointing games again,why do people shy away from combat?

this is a wargame not alien isolation!

i mean look at this



you know its bad when a Adder and a Highlander has to carry the whole team

[Speedy Plysitkos]

had a fight a minute ago, where i was in urbie. team was moving +- together. we had one ecm, which was light constantly moving here and there, so the whole group got uncovered for couple of seconds, everytime. The enemy spotted me, in UM, and quess what. I was in the middle of the group, still all LRM was pointed only on me (no narced, or taged). I move , nothing changes, all still only on me. Then 3 of enemy, totaly ignores the whole groups firing on them, mechs around them from all sides. They only want to kill urbie, which they did after some effort. But why ? whats wrong on urbies ? ...pfffff.
It was like run for 1 um kill, then who cares about the rest of the game.

CW drop with the unit and other friendlies, helping our friends in Combine space show the Smoke Jags a thing or two. Counter-attack (oi vey) first Mech, die in a loud and grotesque military manner (Glory to the Chancellor and all that) then real life says "Hey f*ck yo shitt" and the power goes off for the rest of the night, leaving my unit down 4 mechs. I blame Davion saboteurs. *suspicious glare*

Actually i find that a decent game? Sure you did well, but looking at the others. Only 3 alive, Reds played well or?

[Rear Admiral Tier 6]

good game is one where almost everyone gets about 350-500 damage and 1-3 kills and ends in 12-8 or higher,those are the ones when you know that matchmaker has done something right.

otherwise that was a decent game for me and the adder,but everyone else just crumbled

[jper4]

yeah Titannium I dropped for one match on caustic yesterday in my Urbie and same thing happened. was with the group (well group would run to one spot- I run over to them just as the all decide to run of to the other side of the caldera- wash,rinse,repeat) and kept getting incoming missile messages. no narc, no uav, just shooting the poor urbie who just wanted something to get into weapons range. fortunately our side had a couple of ecm mechs so i'd use them to break the locks. then the next barrage would come.

fortunately the rest of the team seemed to be taking advantage of the other side's urbie hate and we got up 3-0 early. stayed about around that rage til the end where we won 12-7. got a kill but bonus whine- urbie speakers weren;t working so I couldn;t do the sacred urbie kill dance
