So I notice you guys are getting into the swing of things with these 2v2 fights, but I'd love to see if the game scales well once you got to, say 6v6.

Though moving in a pack is crucial to safety, there are some roles like recon that require you to leave that safety in order to report on enemy forces and movements.

Best game for me today, 2 vs 2 Thomas in Catapult I'm in a Hunchback, find ourselves facing 2 Atlases in open terrain. Thinking we're toast but Enrique makes the rookie mistake of fully unloading, dodge the salvos and he's overheating. Focus fire on his head with AC/20 then lasers unload to almost overheating and he's down. Other Atlas is bearing down now 2 vs 1 again both circle around to weaker rear armor and unload and he's out of there, epic upset! once again brains vs brawn saves the day...

This is best read in Duncan FIsher's voice.

Best part.


The best part about best part is that FD "pulled" the limbs off. It means melee is in! And sadly, no, I'm not going to buy any of the PGI cover up stories that might pop up now.

Few things happened today.

- The game is flowing beautifully.
- Garth is a nasty little rat in a Jenner.
- I ruined Russ' game fun by destroying him every time I played against him.
- All the heavy trash talkers ran away
- The backend database guys thought it would be funny to change my C-Bills and XP to "Broke a$$" and "n00b" respectively.
- My stats are now all messed up with a 6 kill/1009 death ratio thanks to said database guys. (Colin and Karl)
- Atlas's need to learn to stay with support Mechs or they're going to get destroyed by enemy catapults/hunchbacks/jenners/etc.
- An Atlas with support Mechs should not be approached and you should instantly flee screaming like a girl.
- Omid your gameplay programmer screams a lot like said girl.
- FD (Alex), pulled every limb/weapon system off our audio guy's Mech and then finished him off with just a small laser... cause FD is a jerk.


Good **** lollypop....now this is the stuff that I love to hear. :o Play by play baby. I feel like I'm watching from the dropship ready to hot drop down ready to show you developers who will be kicking your *****. Your battlemechs strewn in ruins.....oh what a power trip..lol

Hard to tell. With the occasional all of your favorite mech thread mergers, that/those one(s) get big.

But the biggest I know of is still the
