....and they were glorious!

seriously 10 games, not one time did we not at least kill 4 from the opposite team. ECM is doing its job keeping the super annoying builds to a minimum, and suprising and being suprised from behind is fun. And I think there was mabye 1 team through all those games.

Now if we can just get the netcode fixed, add some more maps, and mabye an alternative goal for the games it would look alot better for launch....at least until the bad teams get tired of the ego brusing and just start dropping in 4s again.

+1!

I totally love how it plays now. Very tactical and not just straight rush brawling.

I would not sir, ever do that. Though I only read that and not the post.

Maybe I should take my cat out of the bag. ECM is interesting, but on these maps it can be a real pain to find the enemy quick enough sometimes. If this myth of huge maps in the pipe is true that might help a little...and make ECM scary for other reasons.

to the OP. i'm very happy for you cause if you look at the forums, saddly i think you're in the minority for fun tactical play that offers balance. the map size has a lot to do with it, long rangers don't have the space to be effective anymore, i see stealth teams and brawls just about everymatch now. you're reported experiences sound like dreams to many of us who are finding radar redundant homing missles redundant and stealth and brawls along with race caps being too common place. that's just what i've found in 5 hours of play since the patch came through. still nice to see someone's having good matches, i suppose.

Am I the only one who read this and thought "gee, that winning team did a terrible job of focusing fire and probably scattered aimlessly"?

[JimSuperBleeder]

I'll take ECM Atlas groups all day. Too many of those Ravens around for my taste.

also: being surprised is just a sign of bad teamwork and lack of scouting.

I pug exclusively, nobody wants a deaf person in their groups, they want you to be able to at least listen.

Don't let that get you down. We have a legally blind man on our team

Be handicapable!

[Dr Killinger]

I'm finding the same in the PUG queue, really good fighting happening now.

I am, I play by myself and use the readouts, but no teams will type anymore because lazy. Man mmos when they first came out before ventrillo and in game coms were fun for me, when you raided in everquest everything was typed.

If you couldn't sneak up on an enemy team without ECM in most of the maps in this game, I just have to ask one thing...

Are you that unskilled?


(I'm serious, you never needed ECM to sneak, it just makes sneaking so terribly easy it's no longer an accomplishment worth noting)

[BlackBeltJones]

There are many flaws featured in this game, those I just keep to myself. If the flaws amount to something that infringes on my fun then I might start to consider complaining out loud. But I share the OPs opinion, I have lost 10 in a row before and I can confirm that it is GLORIOUS and I assure all players that it leaves no permanent scar. Maybe I'm old and easily entertained but getting stomped repeatedly in a Mech is still raging good fun. To any players that fear the learning curve I encourage the onslaught of abuse. This game is very rewarding when executed effectively - for me 1 good win (400+ dmg and 6 substantial assists) easily validates the time spent losing - even 10 times in a row.

Good riddance to those lame pure auto lock-on builds. Players actually have to diversify their weapons now.

and your idea of deversity is genicide to weapons with lock on capapbility. you love madcats and thors right? and the stalker could be a new mech on the horizon. they will be dud chasis if ecm carries on like this. thus not really mechwarrior is it?

[Danipenn]

mah...played few games and now MWO seems to suck big time. Are they trying to ruin this game for good?

I run SRM6's and had no problem with ECMs. I win even without ECMs on my team while the enemy has ECMs.
