What people did 10 years ago doesnt really matter. What matters is "what have they done lately?"
The answer is pretty much a big nothin. Finding proof of matches or league stats that happened
back then is near impossible.

Lol it does irritate me when veterans feel the need to flex their E muscles when it appears an uninformed player was simply curious.

Like I said "near impossible", the ones I was in SSL or WAR!ONLINE and a couple others
werent so forthcoming, but those were planetary resource leagues.

This is awesome. Thank you very much.
It's unfortunate that so many are against this thread.
I've seen many posts where those in leadership roles were talking about how they had old rosters and stats on storage drives.

Hmm, is it troll, or is it stupid? Hard to tell...

In either case, there is no innocent option, so stop defending the OP.



Too many different leagues, too many different platforms, too many different games. Even then, when the best players or the best teams fought their opposite number, the odds were 50/50.

And then, you have the legions of people that thought they were good because they played mediocre years after a game was relevant with a playerbase of 50.

Yeah to many leagues and platforms...you may have to use both hands so you count that high.

I read the forums a couple of hours everyday and I would say a good 70% of you Founders are complete idiots.
You think you have helped the game with your money but really it will be you who destroy it in the long run.
Your mentality is that if anyone disagrees with you or has their own opinion they automatically are Troll or are stupid, whatever.

I see people saying how great this forum is but my friends who have come over and taken a look from Steam have noticed the same thing I have. The people who have paid money think they are special and privileged. Well you're special alright lol why don't you slip out of that pink tutu and go get some milk and cookies.

You Founders will drive off the casual gamer and PGI will lose money because of you. So, besides that money you plunked down I hope for PGI's sake you plan on dumping a lot more down during the life of the game. Otherwise PGI is going to have a nice little fan base of about 5k players and I doubt if that is going to pay the bills.

Oh and I'm not going anywhere unless the moderators ban me: I'll be here to call your bullsh!t.
Have a miserable night vermin.

Ok dude, if you want scattered, meaningless out of context stats, go for it. Just don't assume it is definitive. I encourage more people to post whatever stats they got. Just bomb this thread with it. Perhaps the OP will compile something interesting with it. Or perhaps he'll just continue to hurl insults at people until they side with him. Most likely, he'll find himself hunted to extinction in game with crappy wingmen due to a total lack of diplomacy.

Man, you started out with a nice and curious question, defended it well enough, and then devolved to the point of insulting the mods. Not cool. My spidey-senses tell me thread lock is coming soon.

As for the topic at hand (in an attempt to stay relevant, lol), I can say that my own old unit, Avalon Knights, did great together as a team and played some of the old MechWarrior Leagues ladder matches (sadly, I was swamped by real life by the time we got serious with MWL). Official? No, but it was still competitve and fun as hell. Even regular gameplay in MW4 was a blast, and I am glad to have had such a cool unit to join up with. I can't speak for anyone else, but that link provided earlier seems good enough. Also, OP, as someone suggested earlier: take that displayed plaque as "proof" of dominance and run with it. MW hasn't really had huge tournaments dedicated to it like Halo and CoD do now. (Would love to play in a Halo tourney one day... sniff).

Look E-Peen posts never turn out well. You say you read these forums, you should know that.
Thats why you didnt see metric sh**-tons of people posting the records you seemed to require.

If you are so sure thats the way this game will turn out, the door is >>>>
unas* the AO, really dont think youll be missed.

Apparently one part of the forums you haven't read is the Code of Conduct. Take a look see before you post again.
