Very addictive, even with the four-map-thing, which is my only significant gripe. I find it interesting that you can get mashed 3 or 4 times and then every once in a while, you come across a match that is more memorable than others.

This morning it was Caustic Valley where we started one man down (Atlas disco, ach!) and I didn't have high hopes for our chances. Lots of skirmishing and flanking and dodging and weaving and I find myself devoid of any weapons (I run a wonky white/purple/black 'Pract with an upsized engine for causing havoc). Anyway, I announce to my team that since I'm effectively out of it, I'll go for a cap instead. I enter the enemy base unopposed and start the cap, then realize there is only one enemy mech left, a Catapult, and he's found me.

I stop to type my intel back to my 3 remaining comrades ("last one is in enemy base with me") who reply that help is on the way. I stall the cat by zigzagging around the pipes and tanks of the base. Finally, under the text-tutelage of my mates, who are crossing the map, they explain that I might be able to pull off a ram-kill if I twist at the last second; the Cat CT is in bad shape

I'm dubious, as my CT is rough and my LT/RT are... missing, but since I don't have time to check where my rescuers are, I line up and charge... coming up JUST short (about 5m) as the Cat puts a laser through my chest a SPLIT second before my "cavalry" kills him from behind.

Fantastic game, guys, whoever you were.

In another positive note, my K/D ratio is slowly improving, though still not stellar.

Not so for me.
The content drought got to me, finally. I bought a death's knob to fool around in, sold a bunch of mechs to prepare for trenchbuckets, but that's it.

Playtime is severely reduced, and I'm looking into other things. Like growing flowers, and streaming singleplayer games.
