Re: Mech Warrior Online

I will try and take some screen caps. Most of the time, the game is so intense, there's little time to take screen caps of the game.

I could possibly record some matches as well.

I'll free up some drive space and see if I can record without screwing up playability

I think I'll try to record one of mine as well. It would be funny for us to stick together and then see the same fight from different perspectives.

Especially when looking at lights vs heavies and assaults.

One of our lightswarm engagements would be pretty bad ass.

Night vision needs more love. I like using it when I'm not engaged in a fight.

most of the time I don't use any vision modes, for some reason they tend to kill my framerate when there's lots of activity so I just pop it on for a bit an pop it off.... unless it seems to be running OK then I'll usually keep thermal on

Hah, I sometimes don't use it either. Especially in the middle of the night city in the water. But just because I have an easier time seeing friendlies vs enemies without any mode in that specific area. I think one of you even kept telling to turn on heat vision a couple of nights ago when I did that.

I love when people is spectating while dead and they tell you to turn either vision or to switch your ECM.

You have a 3L and a Streakmando, right? I'd get a spider.

I don't know what to do next, I have on my mechlab:

Hunchback 4SP (All elite)
Hunchback 4G (All basic)
Raven 3L (All basic)
Awesome 8R (All Basic)
Catapult K2 (No Basic, Need a build)

I would like to try a different chasis but not sure.

I think the hunchbacks are ok, but I like mechs that are "in the spotlight". I would recommend a streakmando. 1ML 3Streaks and ECM.

Only part of it.

Like I said, I was always a fan of speed and light mechs... plus I wanted to play around with the ECM and I am not a fan of the Raven right now. I got this OCD about wanting to use what's least popular.... so Spider it is for me.

Plus that backward movement speed is just nuts. I just wish they would add extra shortcut keys that the old Mech games had.
1/4 speed, 1/2 speed, 3/4 speed, Max speed and reverse engine buttons are a must for me.

This new cicada could be pretty potent, like the Raven, but without the ECM. With 4 lasers and 2 missile hard points, you could lay out 2 streaks, 4 medium lasers, high speed, and lay out a world of hurt. Even without ECM, this looks like a good mech.

Should be pretty solid. High speed, VERY good torso twist (125 deg each dir w/out tweaks/basic/etc)?!, reasonable payload, good armor.

It can be a mean hitter at that speed for sure... but I really hate that chassis. Way too easy to render it useless, I find.

I've seen some nasty cicadas. Barring the absolutely trashy trial mech, that is.

I think most people only play the trial cicada. You see very few legit cicadas out there. Get one thats armored up and you'll see that those things are actually a bit tough to take down, especially one that can hit back (hard) and move around like a mad man.

Too bad it doesn't have ECM. If it did, it would replace the Raven 3L entirely.

I didn't pay attention if the cicadas I was hitting were trial or not... but I find their legs so easy to hit, and they would fall off way too quick.

I guess I'll give the Cicada a try once I'm done decking out the Spider. Their speed is still good, so I'll see how they actually feel in combat (when it's not a trial one.)

Edit: Plus I still need to try that fast mech with an AC20 thing. The Cicada should work better for that than a Raven, anyway.
