Pretending like there is a inaudible beat playing and dancing along next to mechs spinning out after they die.

Or getting a mechpile orgy effect when mechcorpses start piling up and landing on eachother.

"Oh Mr Atlas, I do declare."

but only when its an "accident"

"Friendly-fire" artillery and air strikes are the best -- Ahem! I meant -- worst!

Get the enemy to shoot each other.

PGI, please bring back ECM's dorito disruption ability! That was a really good means of inducing friendly-fire within the enemy's ranks.

I like it when I am in a 'mech that has one or more of the gun barrels visible from the cockpit. Sometimes I will engage free-look and watch my giant cannon fire. So far, I have not accidentally hit any team mates with autocannons doing this.

Agreed. Thats the kindve stuff ECM should actually do. That and create fake radar contacts.

Not grant stealth.

Being amongst the last mechs on my team in a match that was doomed from the start.

I open up my Cicada 3F to max speed (about 144 kph), find a good spot to launch into the air from as I approach the enemy, hitting the jump jets for maximum height and flight, and giving them a nice ***** target to shoot at.



Edit: Wow...I guess S K E E T is a bad word

I find it pleasurable when my Huntsman blows a cooling breeze on my toasty balls with it's crotch fan.

That's not a fan, it's a manhood-mangler, every well-endowed pilot knows that!

Someone already mentioned this, but I love free view in the cockpit and being able to see your guns.

Second, I love the sound of the mech around 60 to 70 percent heat, and firing one or two smaller lasers and trying to maintain that sound of the mech heating up, and cooling off.

When getting killed in an assassin and it goes into its full rap dancing death mode that never stops.

Killing a mech when its flying through the air.

The monsters in the bog.

[Xorkrath]

The muted sound effects in the space level (forgive me, haven't played in so many months now). It's just such a nice touch and really helps the immersion. That alone is the reason why it was one of my favorite levels.

[Troa Barton]

Nailing a locust with an AC20. Well any light for that matter, never gets old.

[Harlock69]

Running builds that I find fun for my play style, even if they're not meta or practical.

[Anjian]

I like the online chatter. It makes the game feel alive, or at least, you know, there are human beings behind the mechs.

[Kaeb Odellas]

I like using free-look to look down and watch as my pilot's head jumps up and down on his body.

[Defender Rococo Rockfowl]

Killing team-killers. It makes me smile

Hitting override and going out with a bang when I'm nothing but red and legged.

Voting for Polar Highlands and Viridian Bog every time without fail.

I like to pretend everyone in the match is a bot
Many matches make more sense if you do

I like using the free look in the cockpit during the drop sequence and seeing the other mech next to me, plus some of my mech's shoulders or arm. Kind of makes it a bit more immersive.

Wow I had no idea you could even do this!

I also really enjoy knocking down trees, light posts, etc.... Theres just something satisfying about knocking down dozens of trees like theyre nothing. I wish the game had more destructibles in it. like destroyable buildings, destroyable terrain, etc...

I do the same. Sometimes I run and make sure to hit EVER single tree I possible can. It feels most satisfying in something that runs about 90kph.

I love the design of the catapult both the external mech and it's cockpit. It's ugly pile of boxes compared to other mechs but I love it.

I also like how tanky the missile catapults are when you choose to not use missiles putting those boxes as 40 hit torso shields then end up getting shot down to 15% or less every thing red ct,missing ears,yellow/orange legs a small fart away from death yet still surviving the match.

I also love pulling out mechs hardly seen on the battelfield then having some one type 'oh bleep it's a mech x!' in chat. like seeing the cada x5 or founder jenner d.

Bro, you serious. The Catapult is probaby the most pretty mech in the game. Well prior to the rescale it was anyway, It lookes a bit "off" since then.

And the Founders one isn't exactly boxy, it has the pointy nose, its beautiful, like a concord.



k2 is also amazingly sexy.

I wish you could have the founders nose on a K2. Ultimate!

That utterly magical moment when the physics engine burps and sends a 'Mech you've killed spinning through the air...

Oh you mean like this

That's less "Jump" and more "Let the bodies hit the floor".

- I love walking at ramming speed toward an enemy, no funcks given attitude, smacking them with a kill shot alpha the INSTANT before you would collide with them (with SRMS, LBX AC20 etc non burst only) and phasing through their yet to hit the ground corpse like a boss since clipping is removed the instant they die.

And yet your bullets don't, This is a thing that always erked me. You can actually use them as shields, or hide in them!

As for me, I love that moment at the start of the match and everyone is so friendly to everyone, then afterwards it's an all out brawl of words. Because your team failed 0-12.

Also, I love the stress this game creates, when 4 or more ppl are targeting you, hitting you with weapons fire 500meter out. While at the same time, theres 6 friendly mechs 100meters away from them in LOS, and the enemy could care less. It makes me feel famous.
