The sad part about the OP is that these tips are the same things posted in chat in just about every PUG, ever.

And players still can't be bothered to employ them after having it drilled into them time and time and time again.

I've completely lost faith in the majority of MWO pilots. From the idiotic piloting, to terrible accuracy, to ridiculous decision making, to constantly abandoning teammates, to not communicating, to not targeting threats, to the moth-to-the-flame mentality of rushing the centre of every map, every time with nary a thought to strategy.... ugh

It's actually exhausting. The last few weeks have been especially brutal. My current in-game motto has become "Impressive, we've snatched defeat from the jaws of victory!"

Countless times i've been on a team where several of us do 500+ damage, get a couple kills and several assists.... die when we're up quite a few mechs (worst loss ever, i died when we were up 9-4, getting 3 kills and 8 assists at time of death and our PUG still lost)... only to have the noobs and the overly cautious heavies & assaults that were hanging back, doing nothing, wade in with their fresh mechs... and lose embarrassingly.

I don't even rage-quit any more... i depression-quit.

Yeah, this game is WoT with mechs, complete with the idiotic, hopeless teammates and playerbase and endless nerfing, topped off with the rigged MM.

There aren't nearly enough players using seismic sensor since it got nerfed, I still use it all the time because it's still really useful. I've managed to give a lot of enemies a nasty alpha strike surprise because of it and hardly anyone ever sees me coming because practically nobody else uses it.

I use it on all mechs where possible, for 72 odd mechs I think I own 10 now (with the UI the way it is I do not have the time or the patience to keep changing it - plus its nice to have at least one/two for each class and favorite mech from each class)

It really can mean the difference between life or death though - especially if you want to flank round corners on caustic, sneak through the tunnel or peek over the ridge in frozen or even in HPG - one mech underground in the corner of the room is enough to give away the enemy teams entire position.

Of course in many situations it is up to the user to make the most of it - especially by telling the other team mates. If I get blips I like to point out "Two mechs over ridge" for example.. ..might help team, might not - depending on if players listen, but more than anything it has allowed me to avoid awkward situations on many occasions!

Lol, you blew me up earlier in ur Jagermech I think it was on Forest colony haha.






But on a side note, im falling more in love with LL then I am with PPC....

LL are easier to hit with, pretty much the same reason I shied away from them in MW4, PPC are slow firing with awkward velocity and trajectory.

The Trial Orion I actually do ok with it. Those lasers paired up with that AC10 is a pretty decent combo.

Might have to end up putting 4 LL on my Masakari, or maybe 2 LL and 2 AC10....im trying to figure out what loadout I wanna put on it....

Haha what mech were you in? I had a few good rounds in my FB last night - it's one of my favorite mechs. I am really anxious to see how the AC nerf is going to impact this though. Not happy with the max range dropping 500 odd meters. It is a game changer.. ..p.s. here is me harping on about seismic and I did not have it on my FB

As for LL, I like these too. They just seem to run better in my opinion, if you miss with PPC's you really miss, with lots of heat and a slow recharge. That said, at range they are pretty much the most effective weapon!

That spider thing in previous post became legendary recently on Caustic.

was that in a match the other night? My team had 5 mechs pinned, down in the lake with great cover, while we had 5 more in back up on the hill.. I told um to sneak around the back side of the 3-4 mechs trying to get in to help their buddies, but could not because of the upper hill support..

Then the entire lance + 5 or 6 mechs, all ran to chase a single spider... that free'd up the other teams support to come in and left us to get slaughtered....I barely made it out, but by that point the match flipped and we were down to 3 mechs... it was not a pretty ending from my side..

Sometimes i don't understand what the heck people are thinking

I was in a Trial Orion on my alt acct. Its weird how my alt acct is now 3/2 KD and 4-1 WL. My avg dmg is like 270 or so.

Seems my main accts always are cursed.
