I cannot beleive how unbeleivably awful this game is.

Brawl should use Endurance. Farmers are overpowered now!
BTW, anyone know why we can`t walk ?

You mean this one ?


or THIS one :


MULTI pistols for tha winz


BUT this is what I REALLY WANT :

AND this one as a secondary


Later Edit :
Melee GrenadeZ



P.S.

Pshaw. Clan kiddies. Why, in the old days, I could hold an entire ridge with just FOUR Marauders! Against a company and a half of Kurita's best!
(well, four Marauders, and a Victor. Awesome to have an assault with jumpjets, back when most stuff didn't have jumpjets).

That's the Marauder II. Marauder I's were 75 tons, two ppc's, two med lasers... and an autocannon. I *think* it was an auto-60; I don't remember atm exactly what it was. A 75-ton Marauder I with nine ppcs would either be paper thin on armor, or automatic heat shutdown after firing a salvo.

I *do* remember ripping out the autocannons, med lasers, PPCs, and running a modified Marauder with four or five large lasers (pre-clan invasion) and the heat sinks to handle the load. Vas hated. Hated very strongly. Moved to that modified 'Mech after my original Centurion bought it in a fight with the Light Horse (got too arrogant, too happy with a piloting 2, gunner 3 character who was basically playing peek-a-boo holding down a command lance).

The original Marauder had two PPC's, two med lasers an AC/10 on the back. This was pre 3050 clan rules. Still more than enough to be intimidating. Quite a few players stripped out the PPC's in favor of large lasers for the savings in heat.

Pre-clan rules I relied on Archers and Catapults. Again, I have something of a long range playstyle. Give me a couple of Centurions or Enforcers as watchdogs and things were good.

The Derail continues.

That's right; and the Victor's AC outweighed the Marauder's by a good margin.

Pre-clan... I'd have hated that mix. In-direct fire LRM companies used to be my bane; working around and through Cents/Enforcers... wait. You didn't happen to run a company like that up in Chicago way back? I remember a championship wherein I fought a company with that kind of mix back in the day. Hardest fight I had, back then... and I think I lost to it both by points and TOE damage.

wait.. did you just say rainbow FLATULATING Pony of DooM O_o

I could do well with a couple of Mechs with a couple of ArrowIVs apiece and a fast spotter (I'm talking 45 tons of engine and jumpjets with a TAG system and small laser). I could do fairly well, I think.

If you want a fast spotter, just go a LAM for a 45 tonner. I was a fan of the post-3025 weapon systems, don't get me wrong, and the ArrowIVs were fun to play with.

Just still annoyed at the Clan invasion, and all the "kiddies" (sheesh, I'm only 33 NOW!) who went Clanner for the tech/etc. just to beat those of us who had spent considerable time building up a good force. Lost a good portion of my battalion (worked up from a lance) and my planet... in ONE weekend when the Clans came in. ;-)

Kept playing for a while though, got better tech; and retired my piloting-1, gunner-2 character due to old age by the end of it.

Pretty sure the original Marauder had an AC5, not an AC10. It was one of my favorite mechs back when i played pnp Battletech with a group of friends.

i always used modified Marauders. Usually dropped the PPC's to lg. lasers and the replaced the AC5 with a PPC. Beefed up armor and heat sinks a bit with the savings after adding some jump capability.

We were playing a Battletech RPG campaign and i helped the GM design a few enemy mechs.

One was a Battletech version of the Monster from Macross:

100 tons of barely mobile armor and weapons. (2/3/2 movement.) Having it pop up in an urban battle (literally, it was camouflaged in a gutted building) was a bit of a shock to the players.

We were a typical mercenary group who used salvage clauses in the contracts pretty creatively. Especially with one of the players being very proficient at Death From Above attacks with his medium mech. We salvaged quite a few "decapitated" heavies.

Expect what after 'c'?

/curiosity

Unless its a weird word.

Nope never been in Chicago for more than two or three hours. Centurians and Enforcers were just solid mid range scrappers and I think just about everyone picked up on that. For spotters I'd use Ravens if I could get them or the good old reliable Locust.

The Victor had the AC 20. Biggest gun in the game pre-clan. The only other mechs that carried it regularly were Hunchbacks and (I think) Atlases.

I think I was wrong about the gun on the Marauder. I think it was an AC/5 that got upgraded to the LBX/10 once the 3050 rules hit.

Ah, Catapults! Thanks for the reminder, I loved those things.


(Clans? Bah! 3025 or bust. )

thank god uni has stop me for a while. i was getting worried i might die via MMO >.<

but being serious....life killing via MMo is in the terms and conditions

Today was my last day before 10 days of work straight, the last chance i had of doing the stuff i SHOULD be doing . . . . . . spent the entire day on here and using my treadmill

At the time it seemed like a good idea but now i think i kind of wasted a day. Though i did find out the awesomeness of chain induction!

it took u a day to find tht out...bad Damz

at least u now have something to look forward to after work...after the 10 days tht is
