When I get into a match and see an enemy mech that's the same as mine... there can be only one.

On the bright side, I've virtually always killed him. OTOH, I usually die immediately after.

And Highlanders. Its an unwritten rule that Highlanders on enemy teams must always battle.

I have to admit, I find it extremely annoying when I'm in a sub-par light mech for fun, like an AC2 Cheetah or TAG+NARC Raven, and I have to spend much of the match trying to evade some laser-boating yahoo who has decided that chasing a virtually defenseless light mech for 15 minutes is the ultimate way of establishing dominance.

We both end up with less than 100 dmg and less than 50,000 C-bills, as my teammates aren't worried about an enemy light mech chasing a friendly light mech.

In other mechs? Sure. I'm your huckleberry prince of the universe.

When two Annis go at it, it is something to see.

Whenever theres two urbanmechs they should always charge battle and fight each other as a duel of honor.

Or it's a game of keepaway and the mascot survives(but usually dies a horrible death)

I always make a sure to initiate Urb on Urb violence if I see another while driving mine.

Same goes with the Hunchback 4G.

No way!

The Urbie in either team should always challenge the fattest fattie on the other side. They're meant to put bullies in their place.

I do that. Then pilots cry and moan that my little trashcan molested them in their nono places and come here to cry that lights are OP.

You and I see very different Annihilator players....

While they are busy slapping each other, I've flanked the Red Team unit and have started to give it UAC/10 kidney shots from my Bushwacker...

I do that all the time. Its funny to punch the biggest enemy assault in the face, and then have them rage when you kill them. The other day in my R63 I got a KMDD on a Mauler and a Kodiak in the same match, and I only shot them in the front XD.

Nope. They were both D-Gauss builds and I always got back into cover before they could fire.

Ahh, that makes sense... I prefer to use Dakka builds on Dakka platforms over D-Guass...
