This is MWO, not WoT, or WoW, or Rocket League, or CS:GO, or PUBG, or COD, or BF, or any other number of FPS shooters. Your 1337 skills in those games have no bearing here in MWO (though if you can shoot accurately in those games, you can probably shoot accurately here too). Since your stats in MWO show that you are pretty bad at shooting in MWO, I highly suspect that you are highly skilled in some other fps (but I could be wrong)

Oh God no..... My brothers are the real video game killers......another played professional paint ball and made a good amount of money doing so.....
I shoot competitively with real weapons and have with real tanks (everything from the M48A5 to the M1A) but in games, other than SIMNET, bah, a rank beginner; and, I don't snipe very often and almost never brawl......not what I enjoy doing.
Again, stats mean about nothing..... As I said in many other posts, you guys are using pretty lame data and it really means so very little when you dig through what generates those numbers. Think variation.....

If you want, invite me to drop and see for yourself......please, I'm game. Many have from the forums and I did as best as I can....it was fun !

The point is that who we are in real life and our expereinces vary. It isn't wise to assume anything and finding fault with anyone doesn't help MWO at all...... Think retention....

I love finding players like the op in my lights. I love finding those poor shody builds that have NOTHING AT ALL to shoot back with. That two lrm 15 Cat A1,Erppc lrm 5 builds, Er/ppc/hppc builds, l/m/h/ mg only mechs, flamer tag narc etc.

Played my first game today on grim portico did not even get very far towards the city and attacked by 2 lights with machine guns and flamers AND KILLED .

MWO game play and balance is at a all time low lights for so long have been totally OP in this game tanking even assaults and heavy's which is totally asinine.

Russ and PGI want money but I wont buy into this type of crappola gameplay anymore balance your game Russ or sell it off to someone that knows what the heck there doing with this IP.

So...where was your team as your opponent slowly choked you to death under flamer and MG fire with a 2v1 advantage on your slow, minimally agile assault armed with no close combat weaponry whatsoever?

You were literally a big, fat, perfect target and apparently got cut off without support. Worst possible scenario with no support = you die. This is not the light's fault for seeing a whale to harpoon, nor is it a reason for them to be nerfed or cut down.

He would have been absolute fodder even for another competently built Heavy 'Mech. That's the fun part.

Not sure whether it's light specific, but I know I've trialed running a flamer on all my capable mechs and found that even one can easily help wreck any kind or weight of mech if they are heat reliant. It's worked for me and against me. Does it make a good encounter - no. Does it mean a kill/more chance of a team win - yes.

It's been seen many a time over that certain light 'mechs, well piloted, can cause all sorts of problems, even when running around a group of 5 - 8 of the red team with supernatural hit boxes and damage recognition. Likewise, seen a light 'mech vapourised if it takes the wrong tack.

Like many aspects of MWO, meta wins out in the end, just the same as any other game.

We just need to get rid-off Machine Guns and problem fixed. But while you lads not gonna make a Lobby-Thread to push PGI for nerfing MG's into oblivion, and not gonna be ignorant untill you get a needed result, nothing gonna change, at all.

I can start a company-agenda against MG's, but most of you gonna stick you butt into the sand and remain silent when your voice are extremely needen. So... sorry, but you most "git gud" with common situation in solo-Q.

And here we have Mr MGs are OP
http://leaderboard.i...?u=CaptainTeem0



Be sure to get to the store, and get some gud
Use the good, don't let it go bad, you can't hold onto it forever

MGs are usable, for once in four years (where they had 2 weeks of usefulness before getting ganked)
You can make a campaign, but most reasonable people will laugh at you for comparing a 500 Kg weapon to a 10 Kg weapon

It does... As I say, our community is rubbish and if those "whiners" about MG OPness would unite, they would score a MG nerf. Till than... such threads are just another locomotive full of salt.

Says the guy coming straight from da "ACADEMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMI" .
Facts are needed in this environment where there is hyperbole so overused by anyone that has played at least 0.0001 match that it makes people retch .

Leave MG´s alone, they´re finally a weapon and I, alongside many others, am glad for them to be there ... it´s long overdue .

If you can´t hack it against MG´s and Flamers you´re just doing something wrong, and I strongly urge you to change it ... or not have much success at all in anything .


You´re now allowed to go pouting in your corner while I go and join the choir of sniggering veterans .

Beginners (not saying OP is one) should play mediums and heavies, so they learn the difference between fast mechs with little firepower and slow mechs with lots of firepower. This is also best to learn how to tank, torso twist, get into cover, survive. And - of course - learn to do the job of meds and heavies: protect the team's assault mechs.

Then they start playing assaults, learning about how to use the environment. Thinking one or two steps ahead is essential in assaults, also in regard to where the teammates are and what they can do from there. The assault pilot discovers the battlefield new, and he should never walk alone.

The king class of this game however are the light mechs. A good player in a light mech can easily do as much damage as any other mech and get an equal ammount of kills. This has to do with the psychological effect that some players might think "it's just a squirrel with some light lasers or MGs, I gonna kill that". Overestimating the own capabilities and underestimating the light mech, that's what makes Karl the Urbanmech, the Locust, Spider and the Cheetah mean and highly effective killers. That's why Jenner's got a gun.

[dario03]

2 mechs > 1 mech

Whats the problem?

Looks like its working as intended.
