So what do you think the chances that PGI will freely post the % that certain weapon systems are being used. ie... The most used weapon is the PPC, the 2nd most used weapon the AC 5 the thrid most used weapon the ER PPC, so on and so forth?

I would love to know just how borked it really is,

Comments?

[FupDup]

It would definitely be interesting to know. Unfortunately, it's probably not gonna happen.

[Darian DelFord]

Yeah, perhaps, but its just one of those I would so Looooooooooooooooooooooooove to know.

[Koniving]

Rough guess.
Patch day.

Edit.
Thought you meant stats on Clan weapons. *Baps self in the head.* I could've had a V8!

I wouldn't mind knowing these figures myself. I'd like to know just how non-meta I am, using weapons the way nobody else does.

Small pulses, MGs, LB-10x.
Only way to get more non-meta than that is to pack flamers.

[WonderSparks]

That sounds a lot like me. Though sometimes I use PPCs and AC/5's and AC/10's, just never together.

Let me help you out:
Chassis w/ Ballistic Mounts using AC/5: 80%
Chassis w/ Ballistic Mounts and Energy Mounts using AC/5 & PPC: 99.9%

About the same odds as them putting back the active player counter.

[Jolly Llama]

Useful or timely stats and information from PGI? Blasphemy! Never gonna happen. It would prove to much.

[MonkeyCheese]

srm2 would be the lowest

[Mister Dubis]

i use ppc's and ac5s... just almost never together. I tried a few times. bought the dragon slayer on sale just to do it. and i suck at that meta bs that people seem to love. I guess im just too much of a fan of brawling close range with srms and lb10x's (small pulse lasers too if im in my hbk 4p).

Ask Karl Berg in his thread.
He tends to share that kind of thing. He shared the weight class percentages before it got added to the game as a feature.

Mission accomplished!

[Widowmaker1981]

My guess would be something like this (and i don't see an issue personally)

1) Medium laser
2) PPC
3) AC5
4) LRMX
5) UAC5
6) AC20
7) ERLL
8) LL + AC2
9) LPL + AC10 + ERPPC
10) LBX
11) MG
12) MPL
13) SL + SPL
14) flamer

edit - forgot AC10, ERPPC and AC2

The stats would be meaningless unless they were taken from only the highest Elo bracket. If you want to run around with nothing but flamers, and do it for long enough, you'll eventually work yourself down to a level where that strategy is successful...

In other words, players who consistently bring bad weapons will be fighting bad players as a result. You can't use their performance or their preferences as a baseline for anything.

SRMs are not on the list at all, yet you don`t see a problem?

lol, forgot SRMs and SSRMs, oops. id put SSRMs around level with LPLs and SRMs about level with LBX. my opinion is that SRMs will always suck though, because a hard capped 270 meter range with a slow as hell projectile that spreads so much that real range is more like 150m.. sucks. and itd suck if hit reg was perfect. SSRMs are only point defense systems vs lights.

I don't know....but what I do know is if you go back and flip through the 3025 technical readout sourcebook for tabletop, PPCs and AC/5s are two of the most frequently used weapons. (Print date:1986)

srms are still pretty non meta.

right after the ubiquitous medium laser.
