I've been gone a while. One of my biggest gripes when I was playing is that some maps (especially maps with crystalline formations) had horrible...
I've been playing around with different mixes of lasers that tend to line up pretty well with each other, and may be superior to simply boating...
I pretty much just drop solo. One time I tried to do a group drop, and it never found a match. How do group drops work? Specifically queuing with...
It's kinda difficult to use 99% of the historical threads, because the Smurfy links are now broken. I understand that whatever is done to fix this...
I've played this game off and on. Started in beta, but been more off than on. Thinking about coming back. It's been a few years, though. Is there...
I've been thinking about the skills in this game...and come to the conclusion that unless you're using a scout to abuse sensor lock for 3 LRM mechs,...
I've been doing a lot better at this game than I did when I first got it, but some of the missions still give me a lot of trouble. Here's a few...
The way I understand it, there are Scout - a light mech whose purpose is information gathering. Useful for abusing sensor lock if you have 3 LRM...
Juggernaut seems a strange skill to me. Does it have any use at all over the other 8-point talents?
I think the Tactics tree has some of the best passives in the game. In particular, having an 82% chance to hit CT instead of 33% chance on a...
When I'm in BattleTech and I move over to the browser, the game minimizes. Anyone know how to keep it maximized when not focused?
Apparently I suck at this game. In my first attempt at the campaign, I noticed a couple of things. On one hand, I tended to have 1-2 injured pilots...
[MEDIA] Pretty good at suppressive fire, deals a decent amount of damage while you're closing in. I get decent effect out of the MLs out to 700m or...
Solaris matches seem to generate about 5k-10k for a loss, and 30k-50k for a win. Now, they load faster than QP, it seems (although there are still...
What Mechs make for the best NARC platforms? I'm guessing RVN 3L and Kit Fox are probably high on the list, but what are your favorites?
[MEDIA] Simple: AC10 and PPC have a relatively close velocity and fire together. Medium lasers on another weapon group. Does decent if you aren't...
One of my favorite builds before the SSRM nerf (back when they were heart-seekers) was a Stalker 3H with a pair of LRM20s and a pair of SSRM2s. One...
[MEDIA] I took the old "Predator" build and applied some new tech to it: Upgraded engine from STD to LE, which let me: Upgrade PPCs to HPPCs Also...
[MEDIA] Snub PPC to get quick hits and the MPLs for added DPS. I love this build.
[MEDIA] Simple re-do of the optimized build to include ERMLs instead of regular MLs.
I took another long break from the game (before the new tech), but I recently picked up Descent Overload and that brought me right back into thinking...
When I started this game, there were 4 Light Mechs: Spider, Jenner, Raven, and Commando. This was before any Light Hero Mechs (except maybe the...
[MEDIA] This is what I used to get the 200 damage, use all ammo, and survive. Surprisingly, it actually worked quite well. I used my PPCs whenever...
[MEDIA] Build is theoretical at the moment, I will try it when I get home. Group each component together and listen for heat warnings.
In my recently faction play games, I've noticed that my Large Laser boat Mechs seemed to do pretty well. So I decided to make the whole drop deck a...
[MEDIA] Really simple build. LA, LT, and CT on left click, RA and RT on right click, and then a separate group for arms just in case you need to...
Just saw Targeting Computers got nerfed in the patch. Knew it was coming, but now I actually have to deal with it. The jist of it is that TC7s got...
I think I've identified 5 build strategies that are commonly used for LRMs. This isn't necessarily how LRMs are played, but rather how people build...
[MEDIA] The Command Console was mainly to soak up tonnage. I could have increased the engine by a little bit, but I decided that getting my...
I'll probably make a similar thread on the PGI forums when I get home (I can get to Mechspecs at work, but not the official MWO website), but I'm...
Separate names with a comma.
