Huh...Vass can't even troll himself anymore, and has to use other peoples videos...his laziness knows no bounds. What's next? running fast-cap pug-stomping lances? Oh wait...too late

Honestly i think playing with an optical mouse is for noobs and scrubs as they are lostech.

The only acceptable MWO controllers are joysticks and trackballs

That's only acceptable if the mouse is so old and filthy that you occasionally need to stop mid-battle to shake the ball out and scrape out the crust from the rollers.

Like a ~true mechwarrior~

[AlexWildeagle]

Definitely still have LRM rain. Thats the death of PUGs, now sometimes you get someone with ECM but I still have more matches without it then with it.
Also use a gauss, even with a standard engine if the gauss blows quite often so does my mech....oh well. But I still use the gauss effectively.

but ofcourse...it has the ball of steel...lost the rubber on the way...just one button really works...the other one needs to be hit hard to do something.

In fact, here's a little 'Pro-tip' on Kong + Vassago Rain...If you drop against Vassago on 'Frozen'...they will go fast-cap tunnel...every single time without fail. For some insane reason, Pugs never believe this, but it is literally every single time...one dimensional; strategy designed to take advantage of Pug disorginization. 'They' of course will claim all sorts of things, but really...they are all about the cheese...plain and simple....that and talkin smack and claiming unbelievable wins while simultaneously posting a .79 kill ratio...BwaHaaHaaHa...

I have no idea if this is epresentative of 'Kong' in general...but if you see Vass on frozen city....guard the tunnel rush....hopefully, this will force them to develop *gasp* an alternate strategy...lol

Edit: oh yeah and PGI.

Ehh you forgot NHL lockout

[Livewyr]

Vassago Rain.

That is all.

[Allekai]

WOW..that guy was really pissed.. but I have to admit everytime i'm in a match without ECM on my team we have lost no matter how good we are.. still put up a great fight but it's hard to beat them when you can't see them lock on them or see your own team mates

[IceCase88]

Obama is to blame for many things but unfortunately he cannot be blamed for MWO. Especially since nothing really is wrong. Like most human made things it has flaws and is a work in progress (hence the beta tag). Every change has been a positive one and move in the right direction towards a finished product. PGI is hiring so if you are complaining about the netcode, balancing, lag shield, blah blah, etc then put in your application/resume to get on the project to fix it. Otherwise shut up, leave constructive criticism on the dev forum, stop the whining and moaning, and enjoy playing the game. If you don't enjoy playing the game then stop torturing yourself. You have the right to stop playing the game. It is not like Obama or the Chinese are behind you with the government officials forcing you to play the game... At least not yet. The game is not ruined but if I had to pick from the current list my choice would be WHINERS! Stop with the polls and the demands. If I were PGI I would reserve the right to refuse service to anyone and that refusal starts with the OP. These whining threads are neither helpful or constructive by any means. In closing... stop with the cries for attention threads stating the OPs are done playing the game. No one cares... good riddance... adios!

You clearly forgot George W Bush, who is to blame for everything that is, has, and will be wrong with the world. </sarcasm>

Gauss is still perfectly viable as a weapon, even on a gausscat. Just run with a small standard engine, and the explosions aren't a big deal, even IF they actually blow your sides anyway. Even better use a Cataphract 4x and do Gausscat in the arms. Works fine. Streak cats? Yeah, without a buddy doing counter ECM, they're pretty much dead. But you should try the 6xPPC stalker build. It's ******* amazing. Nothing says GOOD MORNING to mech like melting it's entire CT in one 60 damage strike.

Yes the 6ppc stalker is a fun build to play

I like running around in my 2xppc+2xMPL Catapult-K2 though, with a speed of about 76kph with maxed out skills and 20 total DHS, it's a beast of a mech.


ECM barely affected me since I tend to play with PPCs and Lasers mainly.

[Cranky Poed]

Saw two cats with TAG raining hell on my team..I was ECM and had at least on more..

[Aym]

Did Vassago make this video to troll us? I use Streaks on the battlefield, I see them used all the time, same with LRM's and Gauss rifles both in pugs and 8-player matches. The information provided is patently false and should be removed for slandering.

[Thorqemada]

The Video is old and somewhat outdated.

Wow...he's playing an entirely different game than me.
I still see plenty of LRM, SSRM, and gauss.

I know right. We get a thread about how "LRM's are OP and ruining the game" and one about how "LRM's are useless" started within 2hours of each other. Must be balanced.

[Moromillas]

Hmm... After reading some of the comments, I'd have to disagree.

I think not being able to fire your weapons is a valid criticism, and would be the same if you weren't able to fire lasers at a target.
