Play as you like and let the PSR do the rest.

Problem with that is: the red team players who were busy farming will have gone up in PSR, and the three 'mechs that were tactical in their positioning, and won the match by capping, will be going down in PSR.

You can both cap AND fight and end up the game with the green arrow. Just do not concentrate on the objective to the exclusion of everything else.

Atlas with laser eyes? How about an Atlas with a monocle?

That looks great - how does it look with a flamer (or two)?

I noticed that the startup sequence is starting late in the UM-IIC. It plays at the right time on other Mechs though

Does the Warlord not count towards the "IS LEGEND REWARD" goal in the Annual Rewards?
I bought it more than 24 hours ago and IS Legend still counts as unfulfilled. WTF?

2xBLC = 18 tonns = 36 DMG without ghost heat, but 1xBLC + 2xLL= 19 tonns = 36 DMG with ghost heat. It's a joke?

P.S. Black Knight looks good.

No, this is the MWO reality.

The inner sphere engine (light) now easily dies from overheating.

I got this twice on my HGN 732b, it died after a couple of overheats with the armor intact front and rear. Some clan hellbringer or hunchback can go into overhead shutdown ten times per match and the mech will not be dead.

I bought the Urbie IIc pack.
Got the two little imps. Love them albeit I have no chance to try them so far...

Anyway, THX PGI for these clanner Urbies! No matter what would happen I will not regret i bought them!

wish we had got a srm or ecm clan trashcan though. maybe that's next.

Query: Was it intentional to replace the HAG "Gauss Rifle" visuals with LBX/5 visuals? That's been the end result, whether intentional or not.

it seems when they changed the values for the hag 30 and 40 somebody changed the wrong line of code, the hag 20 still has the gauss barrel though so maybe it was near the same line to change the spread?

You can poke holes in ghost heat mechanics almost as easily as you can poke holes in the entire Battletech heat management system itself.

No surprise the most popular options/mods/cheats in pretty much every Battletech game ever have been related to getting rid of heat...

So when they get rid of heat, how do they balance against alpha-strike size?

Any news on a patch sale?

This is in the Patch notes:

KNOWN ISSUES

• HAGs are using LBx/UAC barrels instead of Gauss barrels. This has no gameplay impact, the weapons still function correctly.

Oh! Thanks. I didn't see that part of the notes. It's not a UAC barrel though.... it's just the LBX barrel. They must only have known this by the code line, and not by seeing the model in-game.

Either way, thanks!

The devs rarely play the games anymore.

Yesterday I played a test match on Urbanmech 2xLMG + 4xMХPL. My impression. The damage and heat I receive far outstrips the damage I deal.
X-Pulses still don't look like such an attractive weapon that they would be widely used in the game.

[Voice of Kerensky]

Today I played a couple test matches on Urbanmech 2xLMG + 4xMХPL.
MXPL unuseble.
