Nope. I often think, you shouldn't have walked in to that alpha attempting to secure the kill Little Johnny Rambo.

I am more annoyed by these little mediums and lights blocking my assaults duck to cover path, which invariably gets me killed, because they COULDN'T BE BOTHERED to use their better maneuverability to go to the outside of mech by 3 whole meters.

Well, maybe it's time to ask PGI to equip assault (or maybe all) mechs with the back-up lights and beepers for better team coordination in situation of telegraph radio typing silence?

Won't stop people from walking through your line of fire, I've had people do that to my quad UAC10 direwolf, do that up close I may not be able to save you.


Or I may just shoot through you, depends on my mood, but if you miss that stream of fire....

People need to remember that lights are usually running for their lives. There is a lot to keep track of while you are moving at 150kph. I invariably get TKd and I admit its my fault so the shooter doesn't get in trouble, but its not like I *wanted* to block your shot.

I've only TKed 2 or 3 times that I can remember, but the most memorable one wasn't my fault at all. Old Forest Colony, peeking around the side of an overhang in my Orion trying to line up an AC shot, and a friendly Wolverine is backing up while firing and obviously taking hits. I move forward to hopefully cover his retreat, and he turns and backs into me. He explodes. I wasn't even firing at the time. There were lols in chat, and everyone went on with their lives, but I got a TK.

Accidents happen and always will. Everybody has had moments when a team mate steps out just as you fire or when your zoomed in and just don't see the guy who has walked in front of your arm, give those king crabs some room people .

What does annoy me though is when that 1 silly squirrel runs into the middle of your team end everybody goes crazy for the kill and everyone ends up with shredded leg armor, the "Stop that pigeon" theme song comes to my head when this happens.

Yeah, but I hate it more when someone runs in front of me while I am shooting lasers and gets killed then tells me what a scrub I am.

Sometimes you don't see the light mech running in front of you while you are zoomed in on a target off in the distance. Maybe light mechs shouldn't run between big mechs and enemy mechs... just maybe...

The specific instance I'm thinking of, the Raven that ran in front of me had his buddy teamkill me intentionally. Sucks.
