why do we keep remaking this thread?

it's over. just let it die.

What are good, cheap mechs for new players? I bought a cicada because it looks cool.

Warhammer, Grasshopper, Thunderbolt, Griffin, Catapult

>he fell for the "this mech looks cool" meme

t. man whose mic got cucked by windows 10

Thank you.
I got blown up by something big and wasn't sure about the choice but I still think it looks cool.

It's an adorable box on legs, just like the commando is a tiny babby mech, so I get where you're coming from. You could have done way worse, like buying a vindicator.

>turn computer on
>unplug mic and plug it back in
>suddenly starts registering sound and works just fine

time will tell if my PTT button works

pirate mechs when?

when kit learns to make things better than ketchup tacos

>armor quirks finally show up in the mechlab

About time honestly

>buffed head armor

whoa!

>you will never successfully tackle a giant mutant sea turtle

only a retard would attempt such a thing

oh wait

my first assault mech, what can i do better?

You'll probably want to go faster than that.

Your LLs on their own are completely heat neutral even on a hot map and you will only have to peak ever so slightly to shoot them.

Your srms on their own are completely heat neutral so when you're brawling you'll want to focus on using them.

If you ever make a mistake and round a corner into something you can still drop a fat alpha for 46 heat out of your 70 or so heatcap.

>AMS
>no artemis
ISHYGDDT

why did u put LL on one arm? Why not put them on the torso? Its more durable and the when im using arm's wider arc i am almost always in medium laser optimal range.

is armetis good on SRMs? i thought its not worth it since they doesnt have a lock.

>not knowing tier 4 and 5 is lrm hell
>thinking he can just srm brawl whenever he wants to in tier 4 and 5 in a superslow fatty

LL are on one arm so you can vertical peek with only one shoulder. The arm mounts are much higher than the torso mounts on a stalker.

Artemis is definitely useful because it significantly tightens your spread especially over 70m and you can then use your srms to focus on specific body parts. Unfortunately if you pick them up you'll need to drop the large lasers and replace them with more meds if all you want to do is brawl.

SRMs are especially what artemis is good for, it narrows the spread which makes more of the damage hit the same place.

i dont think i can brawl in slow fat stalker. I just entered Tier 4 and half of the matches are on polar highlands and grim p. Everyone plays LRM boats/ ER LL vomitters with few arctic cheaters running around.

You've got a point, here's a build for the polar memelands meta

>tfw there are no MWO screenshots.

When will reloaded update hawken on PC? Any guesses? [spoilers]inb4 December[/spoiler]

Their corrupt community manager literally said it'd be 60 to 90 days before they update the steam version.

literally what's your guess?

mwomercs.com/news/2016/07/1601-stockpile-mc

Literally a post she made on their shitty forum.

>there are people in this thread who will literally give PGI money for this.

Is this grabdeal worth paying PGI?

literally what's your guess?

>guys wanna grabdeal a mech pack
>o shit we forgot the mechs

>it's okay, Russ. Remember, they buy anything.

Batchalls are go, are you a bad enough dude to get on the BRIDAL EXPRESSU?

Boo

Can nothing save this general

nope

No one's playing.

Not even memes?

Is the blackjack good?

It's gotten some nerfs recently but it's still pretty decent. The 1x can laserboat, the 3 can ppc poptart, and the 1 can meme with ac2s.

Fuck off Simon thats not what I'm doing and you know it

You hand was very clearly in your pants, and it was very clearly moving. I know you're trying to salvage.

Hand in pants is the comfiest thing and your fantasies can stay fantasies

does anyone know where I can find a video of the mwo steam launch party? it's not on the pig's twitch anymore

If they took it off their twitch it's gone for good. They never bothered to upload it to their YouTube.

fuck.

wait, wasn't there some guy who commentated over the whole thing on his own twitch? maybe he still has that uploaded somewhere?

Maybe Twinky's channel

nothing there

Kit x Harabec OTP

Absolutely no one gave a fuck about that event. NGNG might have some footage somewhere, or you could make a goldforum thread and see if any of the old men recorded it.

Does this look like the face of mercy?

Looks like a poodle moth.

I'm in love... in love with a 'mech. It can't load a lot of weapons and it barely has any armor but damn if it isn't fast. As my love and I are working in harmony, prancing in front of an enemy assault, riding an enemies tail, burning off rear armor and disappearing around a corner before they turn around, I can't help but feel a warmth inside, a deep connection.
I've tried them all, from whales to spiders but one bug keeps me coming back.
Twenty tons doesn't sound like much, only one-fifth of the heaviest but when I'm inside of it I feel more safe than in any other cockpit, I know that my one and only are together and a feel that nothing can do us harm.
Locust, I love you.
Let me pilot you until the end of days and together we shall conquer the universe.

What a fag.

Beat me to it, you arse.

Where are the robots

Someone crashed the dropship, with no salvage.

>Queue up yesterday
>took 4 mins to find a match

I actually think this is getting dead for real this time

There's nothing to hype people left in this.

What are we even looking forward to? inverse kinematics? that's it, that's the hypest tihng in the game.

Every new mech looks, pilots and feels the same. They don't even do different HUD. What's the point?

You're on an island buddy, and being replaced by two thousand new players a day.

>inverse kinematics
>decals

MWO finally catching up to the baseline set by MW4 Vengeance almost 16 years ago.

The hilarious thing is, the MWO decals look to be of the exact same quality as the MW4 ones...

Cheetah Recon Gear mounting a Heavy V-engine, generator pylons and fuel tank. The heavy powerplant would usually be mounted as standard on the larger Support Gears, so should result in higher performance over the standard Cheetah V-engine when mounted on a lighter chassis.
