and not do anything but turtle. Just had a escort on crimson tide. The VIP took the tunnel... it walked around 7 guys clustered at the tunnel exit afraid to break out together when the enemy team was split. And I have a hard time believing the three guys with founders tags were anything other than T1/T2s... and they were being cowards also. Has the player quality just gone out the window ?

To be fair, it will probably take a little while for people to properly understand the game mode

[El Bandito]

And here comes the QQ threads. Soon Appogee will make another of his thread, I presume.

[Deathlike]

For one that spouts about "whining about imbalance", not understanding how solo works seems like par for the course.

[Accused]

Give it a week before people start to figure out how the game mode works.

Pick a leg at the start of the match...use assault as shield (ecm/HP ct)...moving firing line....kill enemy before killing mechs...

I LOL'd hard.

Answer ... dual gauss long range head shots. Eventually it will go down.

And they won right?

I don't see anything new about an Atlas pushing ahead, risking his own life for the push, only for the entire team to sit back and watch him get shredded. This time it just loses the match instantly when it happens, instead of wasting an Atlas.

If the AI Atlas doesn't rage on the team in chat once it's killed, I'm going to be disappointed. Give us some AI salt while we wait for the score to add some immersion. Then adjust the severity based on the teir of the game. Teir 5 the Altas laughs it off, Oopsie, but in T1 it's a string of profanities that carry into your next match with it.

At T1, I'd expect him to continue telling you off in the Mechlab, and the next time you drop in an escort mission, you get a unique voice line of him recognizing you.

Under what conditions will it start throwing around hacking accusations?

Obviously, a headshot death. Then he claims the enemy team is using Star League era targeting computers, and he can't with this ****.

Hot damn! If only PGI had your creative minds, maybe, just maybe, this game would be more than just an arena shooter with delusions of eSports grandeur.

Same as every other hackusation: scoring better than it.

If they had my mind, we would have CDS IG by now, and I'd have just gone in and copy-pasted Sarna descriptions of planets for FW/CW. Come to think of it, I've been meaning to find a new place to live due to my horrible allergies, and I'm still in denial about U.S. politics...

Anyone know what the regular weather is like in Vancouver?

LOST. Hard to defend a VIP when you won't leave the tunnel to keep pace with it.

[Tombs Clawtooth]

Meanwhile, I press O and dive in front of the enemy firing line of 5 mechs to protect the VIP while hoping to take someone with me.

And what do you know, within 30 seconds of me doing that, the rest of the team took the hint to dive in and we ended up with a victory... And I hilariously survived.

I'm finding escort to be pretty entertaining, unless I'm on the attacking team.

[627]

Anyone notived if there are different routes per map for the AI? Had only 3 escort services yesterday and all failed to drop that behemoth, in one we didn't even find it.

There are most certainly different routes. On Crimson Straight it either goes saddle or tunnel, I haven't seen another route on that map yet.

You really need 2 lights scouting the map before your team commits anywhere, otherwise you're going to be rolled.
