Go center?

But you spawn at the ramp, though.

And while you can only cover one lane, he can only approach one lane.

Positioning.

What matters is whether or not you can force an open approach.

Have done a bunch of 1v1 on Steiner doing brawl v range, even if he takes high you are about 300m away from the center, you can see which side he went and use the pillars he has to move between to cover your approach to that sife. Its only 3 seconds to get under his guns at most.

River City? Polar, Canyon, Alpine, even Frozen? Way more iffy. Steiner? You can always force a brawl.

And why are splat builds being used? Because they're way more heat efficient than laser vomit.

because theyre much more damaging than laser vomit builds.

but builds dont need to be heat neutral in 1v1. its better to run a hot build that will kill the enemy mech as fast as possible. since you can override and the penalties of overheating dont really matter if you kill the other mech first.

unless PGI bans overriding in solaris. they probably should. along with coolant. and everything else.

If Solaris 7 arena fights with mechs covered in demons masks, are your thing, they added quite a bit.

can I dress my mech up like a furry?

I honestly wrote off CW years ago. It's not working out.

If CW had been the only real, meaningful way to make credits, of rewards were worth it, if it was THE game mode... then maybe it'd be worth it.

But it's not, the system, should have been simple, it's own economy, repair/rearm mattering, supply lines, dynamic fights over resources, ect...

But no, that never formed... and is just a "What could have been."

I got the game I've paid over 2k worth of cash into... and honestly, Solaris, is the only thing that's got me interested now that I'm aware of it, just a shame it's so far out.



December 2018, actually.

I put in the same amount as you did. But I stopped in 2016. When the STEAM release was announced we said that the game was not ready, but I hoped that we would be delightfully surprised - that the devs held the goodies for that release. I was wrong. Then I hoped for a Christmas surprise delight. Again nothing. And finally in the early in New Year perhaps they will deliver what was craved. Again nothing.

All I have seen is pretty much a holding pattern, with Community Warfare/Faction Warfare/or what ever it is called being abandoned after it was mauled.

I have to agree - the announcements for MWO for 2018 is underwhelming.
