That's awesome as hacusations are always a welcome complement... although I am starting to like the 'why don't you pro gamers go....' whine even more.

I don't know which to believe, you Lion or Cheetah? :P

Did you leg those lights? They should be called Armstrong, cause they're Legs-weak.

Torso shots, cause I couldn't aim low enough to hit their legs.

i usually go torso when using ballistics. il take a leg if i got a good shot. its just on a moving light and with a slow weapon it seems the most appropriate tactic. if it were srms or massed lasers id go legs.

I tried to play mg lights but i could not. Urbanmech and Myst Lynx. Im never able to deal enough damage with these. Its quite challenging because you need an isolated target, your weapons are ultimate facetime and you need to dodge.


You don't always need an isolated target, just engage the same targets the rest of your team does. The real key is engaging after the enemy's attention has been turned toward your allies.

My best moment in the game was a 90 degree, 300 meter deflection shot at a Piranah from my Roughneck's HGR. I knew it was comming and waited for him to cross my line of sight through the space between 2 buildings. I don't know how my reflexes managed it, but I blew his leg right off. Then it was just a matter of walking over and executing the little pest.

Careful there. Wouldn't put it past a good chunk of the community to unironically support that. Wouldn't put it past PGI to follow through with it if the right people kept asking, either.

To be fair, Urbanmechs are OP. Just ran XL170 with them, 3x MPL + LB5X with 1 ton of ammo, did 713 damage. Im about to run LFE100 with AC20, lets see.

A while back I was playing in group queue and had three light mechs jump my Rifleman Legend killer. After I destroyed two and crippled the last forcing it to withdraw One of the light pilots was making accusations of me wall hacking because I was always facing the right direct to shoot them as they rounded buildings in river city.

I deployed a UAV....

Pfft this is normal. If you can't solo 3 lights in an assault you're just bad. It's only when a light kills an assault in 1v1 that the world is turned upside down.

You used ballistics and no lasers. You are supposed to lol-laseralpha and then die miserably due to overheating (then go to the forum and post on the board how op lights are)

So, you cheated on 3 accounts:
1. You aimed.
2. You used ballistics and no lasers
3. You denied the utter OPness of lights by making sport of your poor fellow heavy and assault bros

You, sir, are disgusting

to be fair, playing a madcat mk2 is probably the closest thing to cheating without actually cheating though

Shortly after the new weapons were released I had match where two lights tried to gank my Hgauss Mauler. Three shots to kill them (leg, CT, CT). I fell in love with Hgauss right at that moment.
