Is the siren controlled by a hotkey?

The lights and siren is together. Press 'L' and you'll hear the siren for a bit but the lights will stay on until you press L again.

How do you face potatoes of this caliber? I'd love to fight people that didn't notice they were getting shot, or someone as inept as that DWF pilot.

Yeah, WWII was just a bunch of scrub kiddies who didn't know what SRS BSNS it was.

Do you know how much funny stuff gets written on helmets, guns and bombs in the military? Any military around the world, really?

Do you know how many tank crews would *love* to get to put a big siren and flashing bar on their tank for urban patrol, just to **** with people?

If we had mechs in the modern army they would be *covered* in funny graffiti and funny stuff. Especially if soldiers actually owned them. Big hollow bunny ears on Catapults and the number of large ringing brass balls hanging down from Atlases.

If you want to pretend it's all SRS BSNS that's fine, but everyone else would just laugh at you. Every unit hates that ******* with no sense of humor.

Even battletech lore has insane amount of stuff like that. Police urbanmech is peanuts when compared to what some mercs and pirates did trying to one-upmanship each other.

The Urban Mech siren is getting kind of annoying now.

Funny gimmick at first, but the jig's up.

Nerf incoming? Hope so.

Nope. That would get PGI in some pretty hot water since that was a selling point of the Hero. People bithced and whined about warhorns initially too. And then got over it.

I'm still waiting for a cash register noise warhorn. I won't be fully immersed as a Clan Diamond Shark pilot until I get one.

I tempted to buy one just so I can sneak up on mechs, flash the sirens, then smash them with an AC/20.

The devs need to stop worrying about the uptight purists and release more of these funny features that remind people we're playing a game.

amen

hey people guess what? YOU'RE PLAYING A VIDEO GAME FOR CRIPES SAKE. Take your SRZ BZNZ and blow it out yer tail pipe.

PurplePuke, on 22 June 2017 - 08:52 AM, said:

The devs should start another Quick Play called "Kiddie Quick Play."

Sirens, honking rubber duckies, clown hats, maybe instead of camo the mechs in there could have ice cream and cake smeard on the front.

$10.

Or they could invest in a giant tub of hemorrhoid cream for all the uptight butthurt tryhards.

Does this mean I wouldn't have to carry terrible roleplayers in their stock builds anymore?

Sign me up for the kiddie quickplay please.

Hey, I'm a terrible roleplayer.... I'm just not an uptight dbag about it. Plus I find more of this uptightness among SRZ PLayers than not, TBH.

Indeed. To that end, have any of you artistic types come up with a decal combo to simulate a baton and/or hand cuffs hanging from the Urbie's waist? Tried some stuff using letters, and numbers but all have been wholly unsatisfying.

Just look up Rhonda Snord's Heavy Metal (which people also whined and QQ'd as not being SRS BSNS enough when realeased) or Capt Oliphant's Banshee... that had a giant Jesters Cap.

Not yet though one chap did a nice Judge Dredd Helmet and paint motif.

That's what inspired me to try my idea. Just can't get anything to look decent.

(The thought of Mech sized cuffs...in a game without mele just cracked me up too)

This actually happened to me a lot. Maybe it was because I was playing during the afternoon, either that or because they were looking straight at the other 11 guys on my team.

The DWF pilot was doing fine, IMO, until he gave up on facing me correctly and tried running away. You gotta use that front armor. :l

You don't go chasing a Locust in a DWF. That's just asking to die. And he should have backed himself up against the cliff face so that you could only come at him from the front.

That's actually a great idea.

But you have to actually get a kill to hear the sound. Unlike spam urbie noise.

Maybe, for the low low price of $20, you could get a bib, diaper, and soother for your mech too!

[PurplePuke]

If you guys think the urbie siren is fun, wait until you get a load of this idea:

• I'll get a child's toy fire truck with a battery-operated siren sound and spam it over VOIP. Fun, right!

Fun! Fun! Fun!

... and I better not hear one word from you.
