But yeah.. for the last two decades.. MW players have always gravitated to the most percieved broken/overpowered thing they can get their hands on. I think the only reason Firestarters aren't used so much is because of either the legs are easily taken out, or those players realize those hit boxes are on the chopping block. Mech itself seems fine.. but nailing it Center Mass with lasers with only a scratch to show for it seems sketchy at best (even had two spectating teammates confirm the shots fully hit CT but did nothing).

Honestly, the Space Pope thinks that in most games players gravitate towards the "easiest" weapon/vehicle/class or really whatever it is they believe lets them be most dangerous.

Of note however, be careful of spectator view as it is not accurate (it sucks, but the only truly accurate way to confirm hits is to record footage from your POV and then look at it later).

I would love for some lights only matches. or maybe mediums and lights only.

It's a blast man, I highly recommend you get your unit or whoever just run all light duels, like 4x4, 8v8 or 12v12 for total chaos.

I bought and FS9-H to learn the ropes, not having any skill unlocks is definitely noticeable vs. other lights so I have to be careful about duels, but I did have manage to overheat and shutdown between an Atlas, Hunchback, and Timberwolf, and survive (lost and arm along with half my firepower, but came back and got the atlas).
Biggest challenge right now is practicing aim, and keeping arm and torso weapons on target at 130+ kph.

FS9-H, aside from the K, is the least "duel-y" (not a real word) of all Firestarters - so don't feel bad (and avoid the hell out of Huginns) if you have issues dueling other lights like FS9-S or As, etc.


Everyonce in a while you shut down and the guys on the other side still can't get a clean shot off, then you play against people with cool heads and you will get cored like an apple.


Honestly this thread might deserve credit for some of my kills on new firestarter pilots who read it and thought they'd be invincible - and then weren't.
