Tactics are for average players that think they are better than they really are. The best players know it's all about damage on target.

Can't tell if trolling or just arrogant; probably not a lot of difference anyway. I wish the jerky elitists in this game would at least all stay in one camp so I can ignore them wholesale. Instead we have some elitists who are all OMG TEAMPLAY MAN DO IT NAO YOU LONER LOSER, and others who are all OMG KICK BURROS ON YOUR OWN YOU WUSS STAND UP AND BE A MAN.

Most of the people that play this are just bad, you just took a while to realize it

It was getting better until Dec 4, when it then got much worse. The patch after that was good, but didn't try to fix any of the balance issues created by the patch before it, so it was basically a side step. I wouldn't mind another 2 week delay though, if I was actually ensured they were coming at all. But they probably aren't.

The things Piranha do make less and less sense as time goes on. Take this new Stalker for example. I pretty much know MW and this game inside and out(Excel sheets full of data), but I don't understand this at all. It's got 5 variants, but 2 have less weapons than the others, with apparently no gain from this sacrifice. So why play them at all? That's 2 variants you may as well "not have" in the game since 3 others are just flat out better. They don't even change hardpoint locations to try to appear differently like other variants. They just have a few removed. There's simply no reason to use those 2 at all. Then there's the 55 variant. The 55 is an exact copy of the 3F, except with a second AMS. What? It doesn't lose anything in return for gaining that? Look at the Atlas K, it had to drop 2 weapon hardpoints to get that. But not the Stalker? What? I even looked at engine sizes for each variant just to solve this puzzle. Does the 3H and 4N get bigger engines? Nope. They're all the same. So can someone that apparently understands this more than me, explain it to me? Why would you ever use a 3H or 4N? Hunchback has 5 variants too, but with that Mech, each one is actually different with tradeoffs to each one. 4G has gets 3 Ballistic. 4H is 1B, more E. 4J has the highest number of missile holes.(Medium LRM Carrier) 4P is the laserboat. 4SP is the SRM brawler with 2E per arm, 2 shoulders for extra survival, and a perfect 12 missile holes for SRMs.(This all makes the 4SP better at Streaks or SRMs than the 4J, while its better at LRMs) Get it? They're all different. But Stalkers? Why would you ever use a 3H or 4N?

3F has a better torso twist, 3H has more missile tubes. Not sure if the 4N gets anything good.

And there's the problem, The people playing it cause its dumbed down for them. I dont know if you know but people who ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THE BT WORLD are been driven away in droves and soon as the next latest greatest FPS comes out all you wieners will disappear and the game is doomed. So in retrospect, Because of the way this game is marketed.... Its doomed!

****, Answered my own question here. All us founders may as well made cigarettes with the money we spent on PGI to have a VERY nice christmas!

This game may just well be the nail in the coffin for mechwarrior, At least as well all know and love it. Another generic FPS this will turn into (as it is) and it will be swept aside with all the other rusty corpses. Shame. Mechwarrior 2 will always remain the greatest and i donbt see anything in this game that will change that anytime soon.

MECHWARRIOR IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE EASY OR FORGIVING!

As you can see, I am a founders.... also, I am a BT/MW fan.

But.....

We (the fans) and founders cannot hope to support this company alone. Yes, the founders are in the 2-3k range, but you will need more than just the same 2-3k people to purchase (constantly) things to make ends meet for PGI.

2-3k paying players isn't bad..... if it were just in the U.S. but this is 2-3k paying players around the WORLD. and that is an AWFUL number.... not mention I haven't thrown in a dime since founders. The game is ******* terrible with netcode, content, and overall enjoyment, and I KNOW i'm not the only "founders" that feels that way. So the number of paying (founders) players can be cut down to 1-2k at best.

PGI is going to need a lot more than just its MW fans here..... seriously.

Tell PGI that.

[Carcass23]

I think it's you. Players do not play any worse than they used to, its about the same in badness.

Is it just me or is Bluten missing the point entirely and derailing the whole thread to talk about something else and then liking his OWN post?

are people playing this game getting WORSE AND WORSE? They dont listen, they do whatever they want and dont understand that having a PLAN/TACTICS and sticking to them WORKS! I wish people would have faith.

I no longer will try and help now. Cant be bothered listen to peoples B$ after trying help them. And so begins the degradation.........

Hehehehe yeah...

You can't tame us solo players - us soldiers of fortune and glory.

I want all the kills - I want all the money - I want all the fame - I want all the glory

I will die obtaining them - I will kill to ascertain them...
