Well I have been playing MW4 Mercs lately and I found Marcus!

However you know how long it took to not find his mech in a black pile on the ground? I do not get for someone who got to his level of play would run that build!? I tried running the stock Mk.II that was bad enough to do well in, that build he has makes little sense for Solaris seems very weak. He is in the Assault Factory mach though, maybe more but the Mk.II is very fragile vs some of those builds and as stated he was known to die A LOT and very fast.

But would be nice to see if he has more ties with in Solaris, I don't think he is in the Clan Stable (I don't recall Wilder as a Clan blood name, though never know what a Van Wilder might do Posted Image)

What weapons are you running?

Can we expect any other heavy mechs to be released for IS soon?

Now it's the time of the Clan Wave 4, but after that we will probably get the Project Phoenix II (and sure, Crusader is the heavy).

I was in the Elemental suit there (instant action) xD but I did a few matches in the stock Mad Cat Mk.II, found out Fafnir with twin Heavy Gauss so much easier lol. Mk.II does well in missions not in brawling in an arena lol.

CK was searching for an appropriate hero MK2 and someone suggested Wilder.

Eh I have tried to get them to be nice and smooth, no such luck sadly. The game doesn't compute well with 8 and newer graphics cards I guess. Gets very glitchy with 1920 x 1080 settings and cant get the lights to not have black around them.

Well I did a rendition of how a Marcus Wilder build could go.

Machine Gun's just look so tiny on an assault. BUT can anyone say 8 UAC2's?

That would be pretty interesting as a hero. You could do ×8 cuac2s

Rotary AC2s are cooler (especially MW4 style)

Burt Burt Burt!!!!

RAC's would kill Clan UAC's at the moment though sadly. Cause guessing they would make IS RAC's do full damage for reasons. Or even burst, now IS has clan UAC's and Clans get nothing of uniqueness or "better" :/

Rotary AC5s are even cooler.
Especially since IS gets them sooner than clanners.
