Theres a plethora of Beta Leak / Beta poster trolling / fusion power waffle iron posts going about today so thought I would break the cycle (but not the waffle iron , that could be useful)

So my fellow mechwarriors and mechwarriorettes I though I'd ask what is your usual combat style and why

I personally am more of a ranged fighter though in recent years I've removed myself from the "camper noob" department of sitting on a cliff with a sniper rifle, tend be more mobile and make it multiple cliffs for different headshot angles atleast in FPS like halo and CoD , i just dont have the reflexes to twitch like a hamster on coffee at the slightest pixel out of place.

but in the older MW games i liked to use autocannons up close and personal, MW3 Avatar with 3 UAC20 on UA/Ice maps on the gaming zone rocked , though i did move into the limited ammo matches towards its dying days.

I'm a bit of a strange one. I change according to the map. On an urban map i will go for a ninja style of hit & run.
On a more open map i will use hit & run sniping with an AC 2 on the outskirts of the biggest battles.

I'm kinda like a weasel after eating unboiled raw coffee from a bag.
I still have a shot i made in Alien vs Predator 1 burned into my retinas from about 10 years ago....maybe more.

Opportunistic strikes, speed and power are both needed. (I usually pilot heavier Mediums or Lighter Heavies)

[Bohomit]

I love to brawl, I will probably load up an atlas or hunchback in such a way that if I'm near you the only thing you will want in this world is to get away.

[trycksh0t]

None of the above, because it depends on what mood I'm in. I can do just about anything, and often will.

[Neurotic Heretic]

i prefer sniping but am game for getting up close if the mission calls for it.

[TLBFestus]

I went for ninja, but I will do just about anything depending on the map and situational requirements.

[Akula]

I would like an "All of the above" option.

Honestly my play style would completely depend on the map and mech. Tactically I'm fine with all of those options.

[Chavette]

Huge burst, nothing after.

In real "go big or go home" fashion

[Petroff Northrup]

I am recon and electronic support.

[FactorlanP]

I know how I think I will play, hit and run... But let's be honest, none of us really will know until we get our hands on the mechs and get some in game experience.

Not to get off topic, but isn't everyone just a Mechwarrior? Are male and female Marines not all just Marines? All male and female soldiers just simply soldiers? Haha, just wondering, is Mechwarriorette a real thing in the BT universe?

[Skadi]

If its in my way, i smash it.

"All of the above"

Trick is to use the right tactic for the job at hand and the mech your in.

[MrMasakari]

I use a bit of them all, depends on the situation, terrain, your wep loadout, your mech etc. Generally though I do turn from a hit and run fire support to a brawler when the moment comes.

[Haldricht]

Ranged/sniper here - hate being outranged, taking unanswerable damage.

[GHQCommander]

Going to stomp on your mechs faces

[Elizander]

I prefer brawling to get some decent use out of my reflexes

[Melkiot Doriak]

I prefer the "Ninja" way because of my affiliation to House Kurita. It's a ancient "japanese traditions"
