running into an assault facing you in a light.

[Yanlowen Cage]

when you have played a massive game but finally get killed and die happy.


all the jump snipers after they nerfed it into the ground.

[Yanlowen Cage]

Don't cry because:


assaults at the beginning of every match.

[Yanlowen Cage]

when someone goes into a massive post about balance using data compilation.


and finally... for now. a public service announcement.
Kids DON"T do drugs!

When you're engaging multiple enemies and each of them have various damage reads and you're internally calculating the order in which you shoot them and where to minimize risk based on your predictions of the engagement.

I highly appreciate other people getting so excited to post gifs, bordering my own love for them, but I should remind you that we should probably try to limit our posts to 3-5 gifs at maximum to not make people's browsers collapse. I hadn't realized that was a problem myself until people requested it earlier in this thread, but, might as well be nice and work with them.

And I'm not annoyed that you're posting tons of gifs I've posted already or anything. No sir.

Entire team getting hit by the pre-nerf Long Tom.

When you get your lance killed with a single stupid mistake.

PGI just released a new patch?

Spoiler

We already have an edited version of that gif.

The feeling of your team having one person left vs. one of thiers and it's a stalker for you team vs. a legged firestarter on thiers.......

This was earlier used in this thread -- when you're shooting a 'mech from behind, and try to figure out which one's the leg that the paper doll shows as critical.

[Yanlowen Cage]

When your team loses horribly because of poor game play then they complain about low rewards.

[RestosIII]

When you go to run your new PPC vomit build in a match, but accidentally alpha-strike.

Pre-nerf Spirit Bear in a push.

When you completely miss your alpha-strike on a light mech that isn't moving.

AC/20 poptarting.

This thread is so big I'm sure there were MANY unintentional repeats.

TBH, that gif is just super commonly used. One reason I run with anime gifs is because they're a lot less common, be thus has some more diversity to it. But I'm a gif snob, so my opinion is about as valuable as housing in Detroit ATM.

How it feels playing without seismic, and thus relying on your gut.

[Yanlowen Cage]

If recoil had any affect in this game on some of those super dakka builds.


Why overriding heat isn't always the best options...

[Yanlowen Cage]

OK couldn't resist. 120 mm cannon firing accurately further then 450 meters. (I believe that an ac is around a 100 mm round.)
ac 2 = 20 mm roughly
ac 5 = 50 mm roughly
ac 10 = 100 mm roughly
ac 20 = 200 mm roughly

I have a noob sized gif stash right now so I sometimes have ones that match already used ones.

And god can I tell you not using seismic sensor has trained me to listen to the breeze of an enemy 'mech as it sneaks behind me. Being in my sniping Mist Lynx so often, it has become instinct to look behind me at the right moment.

I have some weird sense of remembering if I've posted a gif before ore not, so my own track record of reposting my own is very slim, and it partially crosses over to remembering if I've seen them posted before by other people. Seriously wish that skill translated well into literally anything useful IRL, but, hey, whatcha gonna do?

In regards to seismic though... I've literally never equipped the module before. In my entire time playing the game. So I have no idea what the wonders of the PGI approved wallhack does outside of videos of it in use/spectating allies.

When an actual child is screaming in VOIP out of nowhere.

Nope.

I thought AC/2's were extremely varied between 35mm to the 75mm range depending on the company that made it? And MGs are 20-30mm, correct?

The true enemy of the Diamond Shark, the infamous Snakejaw Squirrel.
