I REALLY REALLY think PGI could make some money off of Pay for Play against the Devs, or 1V1 Paul Matches.


Pay-per-view Dev vs Dev matches and/or Dev vs "top player" matches with George Ledoux (voice of "Duncan Fisher") as the announcer.

So much money to be had in that... :D :P

Don't let the hatas get you down Mr. Inyoureye, I believe in you! Matt Craig may think he's the People's Champion, but just wait until you do your Face turn and change from being the Heel! I know it's coming, I just know it!

It's not an act. He even cheats at cards, if some of this weekends tweets are to be believed.

Matt C is the peoples Champion. Although I'm starting to think maybe we have a "Fight Club" situation going on here. Paul is the destructive alternate personality of Matt N. You never really see them in the same thread at the same time do you..........

I just love the Heel turn Paul has taken, and the pro wrestling jargon seemed like it'd be fun to throw down. :)

We're nemesi who refuse to pronounce each other's names correctly. I figured I'd throw him for a loop by supporting him.

Well well well... guess who didn't show up? Garth!

Today was one of the most dramatic playtests to date. Dramatic meaning ... OH MY FLIPPIN GOD!!!!

I picked an Atlas instead of my Heavy Jenner ( ;) ) I start navigating around, waiting for enemy signals to pop up from my team mates.. all of a sudden my cockpit is rocking back and forth and the damage indicator is flashing. I'm spinning around looking for the source and can't find it. Then just in the corner of my view port, I see the top of a Jenner running circles around me. This is shortly followed by Russ yelling... "I'm so kicking your arse Paul!!".

Well I can't have none of that so I reverse gears and change my circle direction and look who's exposed. Every weapon system on my 'Mech fires. SRMs, LRMs, MLs... BLAM!!! Oh look who's running away. I start chasing after Russ and Bryan starts laughing at how effective Russ is at dodging my fire and running away.

BOOM! Oh look.. .Russ is a smoking pile of metal. I turn around and there's 3 Jenners running around me taking pot shots left and right. FINALLY one of my team mates shows up in a Hunchback and starts laying down the smackdown. I'm crippled but still effective. I take the ML off the side of a Jenner in a big explosion of smoke, metal and sparks and he runs away. All of a sudden I'm taking heavy fire again by someone close.

Matt Craig is sitting next to me.. "You in that Atlas?" I respond "Yeah." He responds... "DIE!!" So for the next 3-4 minutes I'm dealing with him running around me in a Jenner while I'm trying to target him in my now smoking Atlas. I'm hammering T to target him and my weapon systems finally lock on. "You're a dead man now!" I yell straight into his ear. My lasers are firing non-stop. Heat is critical but screw that... I'm not letting some engineer take me down.

Then it happened.

BOOOM!!!!!!

...

...

My Atlas is now a smoking pile of metal and glowing molten armor. There's a rather large plume of smoke where my head used to be.

Very intense time had by all. This was a great session!

p.s. Russ is still whining about me in an Atlas and FD is bragging about his 7-3 K/D ratio. I finished the day with a 6-2 K/D. So I figure I win.


What, no Catapult love? :)

You guys are having wayyyyy too much fun making this game. ^_^

"Weapons systems lock on" Hm... you couldn't fire your mediums without lockon... despite them being dummy fire. SRMs as well. You couldn't have JUST been drooling over weapons loc on for your LRMS, considering he was running around you.

Is that an all weapon lock on system? As in, I can't fire any type of weapon unless "T" is locked on? hmmm... that would be good for information warfare.... Bad for... regular warfare. Maybe that will be answered today!

Right but he was just hitting T...

"... I'm hammering T to target him and my weapon systems finally lock on. "You're a dead man now!" I yell straight into his ear. My lasers are firing non-stop. Heat is critical but screw that... I'm not letting some engineer take me down."

So...once he got lock he started firing his lasers. THAT is what is interesting and different from other mech games, and a bit scary. Very BTech canon, very unsure how that translates to sweaty palm online combat.
