Gorgatron here, we discovered this by complete accident. I am the atlus in the video. I like to argue it is not cheat and it is simply a movement to reintroduce knockdowns and for PGI to finally realize light mechs with ECM and streaks ruin the game.

Yo! I'd like to state that I don't think there was any huge advantage that this conferred to you, but that I think it still is a bug. Keep on truckin', and such, with regards to Lights with ECM and Streaks, hopefully we'll see improvements either in netcode, or how ECM works!

Ride for ruin, and the world's ending.

DEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATH!

Now use the 12jj Spiders to stack a lance of them on top, and get seven of them!

Just for the record I have the Raven-3L and use the ECM build. I normally hate lights (with the exception of the spider) and the 3L raven and 2d commando ruin the game play for other lights. They stand absolutely no chance against them.

That was pretty hilarious. I came to the forums to complain about the terrible thing that is MWO matchmaking, but this quelled my rage.. Bravo, sir.

How long have we been telling them about this? If it's still in the game, it's fair game.

This is as old as the removal of collisions, if not older.

Fun fact: a picture displaying how to do this was picked as the winner for the "Take Your Best Shot" contest.

Irrelevant because us cool kids started doing it the right way. A huge middle finger to light mechs with ECM.

[Demoned]

so this is how to get ECM on every mech lol,
got to try this out

[W00DSTER]

Needs more jump jets.

[Anyone00]

Next thing you know we'll have a Catapult on top of four Atluses and the Atluses on top of a Raven, then Ravens all the way down.

We've done something like that, but you need a 12 jumpjet spider to be the space elevator to stack that high.

just an fyi, if you shoot something in the middle of the jenga tower it all falls down. We crushed a friendly spider with collision damage that way.

[Mechrophilia]

What happens if the mech on the bottom has jump jets and uses them while people are stacked on him? Can he jump onto a realy high building with his mechzilla still intact?

Yes, but it's hard to maintain balance, so sometime you fall off.

You also have to watch out for pipes that knock the top guy off, sharp inclines that tip you over, and various other things you don't have to worry about while not stacking. You are also very vulnerable to LRMs.

unless the top guy has ecm - or you do

It's all hilariousness until someone manages to break it even worse.

Now when someone gets the bright idea of parking a 6 PPC Stalker on top of a ECM Raven, remember, you heard it here first.

Imagine: A 6 PPC stalker that can take two shots, and then move out at 130+kph while shut down for cooldown? <--- exploit of EPIC proportions.

Sure, you can't aim very well while in motion... but what if if your ride can stop for a second or three to let you take your shot?
