... You mean you want to go back to the days when, due to their properties, flamers and MGs KILLED EVERYTHING? When the armor values were half of what they are now and when you had not a chance in hell to survive a head shot from a gauss or AC/20? You want to go back to that? Whyever would you want to endure that kind of suffering? Perhaps some of the early closed beta (late spring, early summer) crowd would like to share their horror stories with you if you ask nicely.
Here's my story: Early closed beta - 1 LRM salvo (LRM10 or more) would kill an Atlas every time. ONE salvo. See, the Atlas head hit box was SO BIG and missiles were coded to come straight down on top of the mech, hitting it's head 99% of the time. So, Atlus' would take to the cave/tunnel to avoid LRM - only to be one shotted in the face by any mech that could half @$$ aim. I definately DON"T want to go back to that.
I realize this post is barely relevant to the OP's thread, but someone suggested a horror story so I provided one.
