Hits now are as good or better than they were in CB before that one patch that blew it all to hell. for the love of god let this not ever happen again. Game feels so much better now that you have to actually aim at mechs instead of imaginary ghosts ahead of them.

The next step in the netcode fix, is state-rewind. It can only get better from here on out!

I like to say: use the force :P

The netcode is so much better now, so I don't need to use the force a lot anymore.

I'm actually finding it a bit challenging unlearning all the leading and whatnot... bad habits. :/

I'm with ya... finding it tricky to shoot scouts now that I'm so used to leading a mech or two...

yeah. I generally now only lead BF3/COD amounts instead of 90's game amounts. IE i shoot straight at anythign less than 90 kph and less than a mech ahead for over 90kph. im okay with this.

Took me all of like 5 secs to unlearn the lagshield workaround bullcrap we've had to live with the past few months. Done and gone. Good riddance.

I faceplanted so many lights last night I don't even remember the count. Atlas alpha one-hit cores em from the center torso, from the side torso, from the arm, from the center+side torsos, from the center+side+arm, from the... whatever. You take an alpha, you're scrap. Timing and patience, baby.

As God Intended.

Just had the best match yet in MWO. Shooting is just so much more predictable! Great job!

I played a few games last night...loved it as an Assault pilot. Actually saw 3 Hunchbacks in a game and only 1 ECM Raven. Now for collisions...

Today, I nailed 3 lights with my gaussapult in a single game.

It was glorious.

I managed to knock a moving raven 3L's ear off with the new patch using an AC20...That made me cry a little in happiness.

Time for collisions without teleporting "I got you in my sight... Hey, Where did he go?" Good times, Goood times.

I was one of the people who kept telling everyone that PGI will never fix the netcode. Now I have to eat my hat, but at least I can actually enjoy the game now with my 150 Europing when fighting lights.

Its nice to get to the light mech before they get under your gun and start with the circul of death and protection from the lag-shield god.
I am one happy Mech driver right now.

Don't touch the netcode too hard. Touch it softly and gently. Caress it. Don't be a selfish programmer. The code has needs too.

I think that TTK might become to short once they are finished with the netcode.
