Ok, so here's the question..

What weapon system do you like having around? Whats your favorite? Most used? Least used?

I personally can't leave the house without slapping a good old PPC on my ride.

Maybe it's a comfort thing.. maybe it's the knowlage that the person i'm shooting at has to deal with that "sizzleing" sound as their electrical systems momentarily going on the fritz. I don't know, Something about it just makes me feel warm and fuzzy..


So how about you?

Do you love that sound a laser makes as it scorches holes in someones torso?

Or is it watching that hostile mech dissapear in a barrage of Missiles?

"Die clanner"

[xVladx]

Laser are my personal favourite, love the pinpoint accuracy and instant travel time, nothing like a good amount of large lasers or a boat of mediums for close range combat

[Slepnir]

(ER)PPC hands down. good damage, good range, not ammo dependant, focused damage.

runner up would be medium lasers, a whole pile of mediums on a fast mech are alot of fun.
the only thing fun about AC and missiles is the abiltiyi to take alternate ammo.

[Gigaton]

I like them lazors. I especially like pulse ones, but all MW games so far have botched those up badly (the concept in TT is that they do slightly more localized dps than normal lasers, and are easier to score hits with, is it really that hard to model?).

Hatchet?!?

[Trevnor]

I love the Gauss Rifle myself. The knockback power, the thrill of seeing it crumple and shatter a large amount of armour... One shot kills to the head...

[Kamylon]

PPC hands down. Those and Lasers as a backup. I'd rather manage my heat, and manage and buy ammo.

[Xyph3r]

the only thing that can beat the hammering sound of an autocannon...

..is the sound of a BUNCH of autocannons!^^

[Ranger207]

Autocannons. Of course, I'm somewhat biased, being a Davion.
PPC are fun, but a bit overused. It's something like, "Uh-oh, he has a PPC. Run away!" as compared to an AC/10: "Oh, look he has an AC/10. Look, a PPC! Get away! *AC/10 scores an ammo crit* Wait, where did that come from!?"
Also, never go into a battle without a couple of med lasers.

[Orsus Z]

Hatchet, especially TSM-powered.

[Flame]

Give me an HGR or two, and I'm happy. Actually, iHGR is also acceptable (unfortunately I'll have to wait a decade or two before they're in-game).

Yes, I like piloting Fafnir. What was your first clue? ^_-

If you're considering the Long Tom to be the standard for all tube artillery, then yeah, I'm picking Long Tom even though I like Snipers and Thumpers equally as well. Why tube artillery instead of missile artillery or even direct fire weapons?

Range

Tube artillery does something that no other weapon system can accomplish, short of Ortillery, and that is provide me with the ability to hit an enemy without fear of return fire and nothing will demoralize an opponent faster than taking fire from something that they can't return fire against.

So you guys can have your close range slugging matches, I'm appealing to Artillery; The God of War, the Final Argument of Kings.

[Ellister]

a Gauss or 2, backed up with med lasers incase i miss with the Gauss (which is very likely )

[Arctic Fox]

My true favourites are still Sub-Capital Lasers and Capital Missiles, of course. But as far as 'Mech scale weapons go, I've considered HAGs to be my favourites until lately, but I think that my true favourites have to be VSP Lasers. It's just too bad there's no ER version.

You're a Lyran. Simple as that.
(Thats why I like the FedCom!)

[Jake Valeck]

ppc ml srm6

and i agree with irish-nothing better than a hatchet to the cockpit to put a smile on your face (or take it off)

[Tramalhas]

The good old dependable medium laser.

[Death Blossom]

A simple large laser until this game. With the continuous damage aspect from the video, I might need to switch.
