I do have a strong dislike for people that play them like you do. Staying behind your team, never presenting, don't even have to aim, and then you brag about it. lol.

I played a few faction games with you yesterday where I was rocking the lurmtardage. How did I do? JUDGE ME!!

gauss ignores front CT armor and hits back armor (and Structure)...

In fact many weapons do that, I'm guessing it's all the fast moving projectiles based weapons that do (ballistics).

When judging which side of the mech was hit (such as back side or front side) by a fast moving ballistic projectile, the direction the projectile was following should be taken into account, to determine which side of the mech that shot was coming from.

Doesn't seem too hard to do, but has to be done to work.

Appropriately aggressive I guess?

I dunno, was that the match where I killed three dudes with a single flamer?

Wish I could trade my single IS quad-ams assault for quad-ams clan's light and medium mechs...

No, you do not want to trade your fully functioning quad-ams IS assault for a dumb 20T quad-ams Clan light nobody in their right mind should be using and a non-existing quad-ams Clan medium.

I'd say it was the ones where your sexual tension with Dexter was really over the top, but that's like all of them all the time.

Hah, no lock on's in the bedroom. He'd never be able to find it.

Not my type at all.

Invisible edges, holes you can be stuck in; you can rip off a whole leg if you shoot the mech's finger, projectiles that fly through the mechs and objects, horrible Crossfire and SLI support, mech that can outrun the ping-pong reply, etc...
And they fixed a button...
Hm... Maybe that patching is needed for their head.

Well wrote ... this game is technically dead from its beginning thanks to pgi's incompetence in every aspect.

Is scouting even still a thing? I haven't seen it in months. I miss it It was a great way to train pilots in lance tactics and was perfect for when you wanted to do FP but couldn't get a big enough group for Invasion.

I've been playing HBS BattleTech consistently since its launch. It has captured the essence of BT in a way that MWO doesn't even try to accomplish. It's disappointing, but true.

It's a shame there's no mod support, the BT community is insanely talented and dedicated.

Edit: 1.8 expansion will bring mod support! Screw this forsaken wasteland of a game!

I can't figure out how it's sorted...

But when I play a good game my ranking goes up, and when I get stomped by a 12man my ranking goes down, so it's working.

After every patch this year loading the game takes longer and longer. From pressing the icon on my desktop, skipping the videos, entering my password, till i´m in my mechbay now takes almost 2 minutes. That´s ridiculous. I don´t bother reconnecting after the game crashes anymore. Almost 3 minutes till i´m back in the game, got shredded by a light mech.
Last year you guys optimized the loading time, by not preloading Solaris. I gues you forgot about that in the next patch and Solaris is preloading again. Still doesn´t explain why it takes decades to load.
And it´s not just the loading, lag is increasing drastically. Mechs warping around like crazy, damage not being registrated, yesterday i died and the screen showed me i did 0 damage, later, after the game ended, i had 700 damage. On Solaris, while picking maps, the screen froze for 10 seconds. Locking or switching a target takes several seconds. I saw an enemy mech on mech factory yesterday, jumping down and running to the left, suddenly he was back on the top. I´m not the only one having that experience, most of the time all people in the game experience the same problems. My internet connection is working perfectly fine, stable 100 Mbit download, 38 Mbit upload and a ping of 15. I tested it on several different websites, i checked the monthly stats in my router, no problem.
I have a theory, after every patch in the last month, in this dying game, you are switching to cheaper servers. Admit it!
