[Shamoo]

I love the Guass Rifle workaround, classic!

[SuperPuppy]

Where's the link to the posts?

There should be a hall-of-fame for these things.

[Lyteros]

I was flicking through the forums trawling for patch notes while i wait for the update to go live, when i come across those gems. Niko, you sir are a legend. Brb, deactivating some cone cells...

[Vassago Rain]

Snark snark.

[Dimento Graven]

While I get that these are probably tongue in cheek... I still feel that the responses are a bit flippant all the same. Are they serious about resolving these, or not?

[Congzilla]

My favorite was the floating Jenner head workaround.

Machine Guns are not effective weapons against other Mechs

Steps to Reproduce
1. Boot the game.
2. Login to the game.
3. Launch a match with a Machine Gun equipped mech.
4. Target and Fire upon an enemy mech.
5. Observe their armour damage build-up is at a low rate.

Notes
Many players regard this as canon as Machine Guns were designed in BattleTech for fighting non-Mech enemies.

Workarounds
Exchange the Machine Gun for a more powerful ballistic weapon, such as a Gauss,

Machineguns dealing too little damage? Better equip gauss instead!

Pity they don't know the firing delay happens with PPC/ERPPC's.
I've never had a problem with any of the listed weapons though.

I would simply like to say, that as I am red/green color blind (according to the US Navy), I find Nico's lack of a proper response to be personally offensive. The mini-map to me is nearly useless, and I do hope that a "color-blind" mode is made available soon.

That proper response on adjusting your video card settings? I have multiple types of color-blindness, its not something to play the woe-is-me card over

Apparently your sense of humor is disabled as well.

One of the most common disabilities in the world! We shouldn't discriminate against these people.
