Yup. Basically I'm wondering what weapons people here have a preference for and what you will likely go for in MW:O depending on how the Mech Lab and the modular system works out.

For example, I like beam and ballistic weapons. My preference when having to chose one over the other is PPCs or the heavier autocannons. As for missiles, I might use them if they are there, but otherwise I don't include them.

For example, I'd gladly go with a Banshee 3M since I love assault mechs so much when it comes to a beam weapon mech.

Or a personal favorite, King Crab for ballistic weapons.

And yes I know, a good combination of all three types makes for the most versatile mechs, I just want to know what most people here prefer.

Bomblast laser, best weapon, the end.

It also won't be around till 3064, and even then it's a experimental weapon (which means that it won't be on the market).


Anyway my two picks would be ER PPC's and LRM's, both have range and pack a punch. Though I'd probably go for a Marauder if it is in the game.

[djuice1701]

I prefer a load out of:

1 PPC or AC/10
1 Large Laser or 3 Medium Lasers
1 LBX/10 or 2 SRM/6 or 1 LRM/20.

I primary use my energy weapons to weaken, remove the enemies armor, once they've been sufficiently weaken, I let loose my cluster based weapons to cause massive critical hits, hoping it's enough cause ammunition detonation or destroy it's heatsinks.

Also I do like using Inferno SRMs and Flamers just to **** off Laser/PPC boats, great fun.

[John Clavell]

On a serious note. Give me LRM's and Large Pulse Lasers

Depends on the terrain...

Urban or other with limited sight range: AC/20 + MPL + SRMs

Open Spaces: AC/10 + LRM + LL

Don't try to pin me on one. I enjoy long range sniping just as much as I like brawling.

[Hayden]

AC/5.

I'm usually trying to go for as much damage as possible with as few hits as possible (and at long range, thus negating some damage to me). Therefore, PPCs, Gauss Rifles, and Large Lasers. If the terrain is open, LRMs (15-20). The ACs never really felt right in MW3 or 4 for me.

However, MWLL has changed that, and I'm slowly moving to appreciate the large-caliber Autocannons.
Rotaries, pulse lasers, and machine guns never really sparked my interest.

[Stormwolf]

Here's the weapons that are around in 3049 for the Inner Sphere:

Autocannon/2, 5, 10, 20
LB 10-X AC
Ultra AC/5
Gauss rifle
Machine gun

Laser (small, medium, large)
ER Large Laser
Pulse Laser (small, medium, large)
PPC
ER PPC
Flamer

LRM 5, 10, 15, 20
SRM 2, 4, 6
Streak SRM 2
NARC Launcher
LRM 5, 10, 15, 20 (OS)
SRM 2, 4, 6 (OS)
Streak SRM 2 (OS)
NARC Launcher (OS)

Hatchet

[Man From AUNTIE]

PPCs and LRMS, lots of LRMS. Of course, that is for open spaces. Large and medium lasers and AC/20 for cities.

[Bluetavius]

Ballistics: I usually go for a Gauss Rifle or some AC2's
Energy: PPC's for mech fighting or pulse lasers for vehicle mop up (or MW3 pulse lasers are better)
Missles: I loves me lots of SRM 6's or ATM's and a NARC (won't be here for awhile sadly)

[Traejun DiSanctis]

I believe you are wrong about the ER lasers. Those were not available until after the clan invasion.

[Bushmaster]

Favorite Weapons
Ultra AC/10 or 20
Gauss
SRM6 Streak
LBX A/C 20

The ER Large laser was rediscovered by the DC in 3037, small and medium in 3058 (FWL).

[Kenyon Burguess]

typically i run my mech loadouts mission specific. but I do enjoy having er large lasers and an ac20 combinations on assault mechs.

You are correct.

[Undead]

Well, depends on the terrain and mission objectives.

I like to take stuff out at range, so use LRMs, PPCs and Gauss Rifles a lot. For medium to short range I like heavy Autocannons (AC10/20) and SRMs. I generally only use lasers as backup weapons or to prevent me from being totally useless if I run out of ammo.

[Morashtak]

I like a good layered offense; something to plink away at the enemy as I close, a good group for medium range and finally an good short range weapon load out. Won't be super effective at any one range but not planning on staying at any one range, either.
