they dont rationalize it. They're having their jollies knoqwing full well they're making people upset and harming the game.

It's called the internet. The best trolling is done playing within the rules while ******* others off.

This should be obvious. It's just like those people who constantly TK, except they cant be touched by the "law" of PGI because they're abiding by the rules.

You drive a light mech, you know you have an unfair advantage over everyone else. How do you square this in your head? Put aside the fact that PGI has not called what you do cheating. How do you go out every match, in a mech that you and everyone knows has an unfair advantage. If you were a 13 year old i would understand why you enjoy having an I win button. I loved cheat codes when i was 13.


It's only a game and it's only in beta...you guys really need to chill!!!

How does having played SHOGO of all things mean that no one can argue with you about game balance? You're PRECIOUS.

How does that list make any of your points valid/invalid? Shouldn't your points about this game's balance be supported by observations garnered while playing this game?

Really? Playing games doesnt mean you know $@$@ about balancing them.

Besides, you havent even played Heavy Gear, Mech Commander 2, either Mech Assaults or Multiplayer Battletech on AOL or Genie! Rookie.

I'm sure that a wealth of experience in Armored Core: For Answer will be valuable here, the games are clearly very similar.

Hmm.... Theres lots of things unfair in the game till the netcode is fixed but you forget that lights shooting at lights encounter the lag shield too. Its not something that just mediums, heavies, and assaults get. Also, do you shoot at jumping mechs. If you do then thats unfair since jump jets are suppose to make you harder to hit and not easier to hit. Are you hitting a light mech going flank speed at long range with a Large Laser or LRMs. If you are then you are cheating since such a feat would require double six and was almost impossible at table top. Do you boat your heavy or assault. Not many mechs were fitted with 6 large lasers or PPCs to cut a mech in half in one shot. You must be cheating. I'm not being serious of course but you need to realize how silly your argument is. Light mechs are suppose to be hard to hit. Thats their advantage. One clean hit kills them. Yes, there is lag shield but I've also noticed there are more pilots that are lousy shots that like to blame lag shield than themselves.

Well the matchmaking system puts an equal number of lights on each team. So when I play a light I know that's one more (probably a 3L with streaks and ECM) that I'll have to fight.

... which is exactly why I play my Cicada a lot.

your tears taste so good, and do yourself a favor save your QQ induced insults to yourself, spend more time learning to aim instead of Crying all over the forums....LMAO 13!...man that's funny

Should change your name to masta QQ'er lol....oh ya...and I think I will lick your tears again for good luck *LIIIIICK*


Well I was just making a joke based on the OP's laughable suggestion that you have to be 13 and like cheating to play lights.If you want to check my posts here I've been laughing at the idea of it all the way back. But if you want to get mad at someone who's on your side of the argument that's cool too.

They just need to add the knockdowns back in game.
...


That ...
the only bad thing for knockdowns was knocking down your team mates ...
but they added realism and punished bad piloted light mechs who got too close to enemy mechs,
therefore the advantages weigh more than the disadvantages

You would do well not to patronize others (because, then, they would be more willing to listen to your case).

I play Commando 3M and 2D. I believe Commandos are kill-able, because I have been on the receiving end.

The ECM Commandos are REALLY good, but they are not invincible. What do you think about the other Non-ECM commandos though?
