Mind sticking up a link or a name for that vid? I got this weird thing going where FireFox thinks Flash is a virus or something, telling me to update it when it's already updated.

So I've been playing clan warfare all day. All I can say, is I'm glad I don't border the jade falcons. House of Lords and the various jade falcon galaxy's are really good at this game.

Thew ping combined with the bad frames is truly a beast though. I am having real problems getting things to hit.

I seem to be in the minority, but I'm not digging the CW. The two maps are pretty bad, the att/def is bad, the box at the back objective is poor, balance IS vs clans is rough at best, fps for most people is horribad, dropping out 1 out of 3 matches is not great (even though I never failed to rejoin)

I know its in beta currently so some of the stuff is just a wait and see.

I heard so many people in my unit go OMG it came early OMG, I say it came 2 and a half years late but whateves.

My review is 'Why did you release it the day we ripped out every computer in the house to rewire the plugs'.

Installing the updates now.

Patching now

Loving it.

It's good for a beta that's as far as I'll go.

yep

Plus points

2 new maps
Really Cool Dropships and then even fire as well.
interesting games.

negative - just the waiting time really.

Yeah, the ques are terrible but it's probably just beta problems.

Sorry, there you go:
Community Warfare Beta Trailer -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yipq9vOTt-k

Heh. The same combat you 'love', now with moar dubstep drops.


You know what would be awesome? If they actually managed to individualize the maps for each different planet. Create a procedural generation for the terrain to start with, add some 'planet quirks' and manually place in the props, you could probably stomp out a planet a day or two.

Also, what would be awesome is if players could actually dedicate themselves as Drop Ship pilots to provide fire support and have to actually fly their downed allies in themselves- it would add so much more to the game. Maybe mount the Long Toms on the ships so that artillery is actually fired off by another player.

Or just give us the Mech Long Toms.

I want my old table-top Longtom Raven in game.

Mmm... Artillery.

Hopefully they wouldn't bork up the skill required for a true artilleryman.

Awesome

and you have a great Christmas

That's not an Awesome, that's an Urbanmech.

Well, that's a thing.

^pretty much why I haven't played much of CW or mech for that matter^

Thats just the best

Crab.,, Battle.

I finally got started in MWO. I'm enjoying playing as the Adder(Puma) Trial mech

Nice. I like the Adder.
Is that the PPC Adder?

If you do end up buying one of your own, I reccomend:
Adder Prime first (if you're getting on with that well)
And/Or Adder D.

I say the D, because with the purchase of it plus a Prime Arm, and A torsos, you've got all the ideal set ups for the mech available.

If the Prime, you can get the D and A torsos for the same effect.

But that gives you the ability to make the Laser Vomit, PPC sniper and LRM boat builds.

I favour the LRM flavour myself: ADR-D
This is a really solid boat, with an LRM30 and 2ERMLs for backup.

For a PPC Prime, I'd say ultimately changing it to: ADR-PRIME
Not a huge difference, but it gives you a pair of lasers for close defence, though you could replace them with 2 more heat sinks.

Welcome to the ranks mechwarrior.

Well since I've got access to the Adder Prime Trial for now I'm buying other mechs. I've gotten a Stalker which I'm sure I'll rarely use as it's too slow in this game, and I'm enjoying my Jaeger I just bought

I've also enjoyed using a Hunchback trial equipped with too many Med Lazers

Just bought a Thunderbolt on sale which is nice and works well - got 4 kills in my 3rd game

Much better than my attempts with my new Awesome!

Heh, you all use the sale to buy good mechs.

I bought a Cicada 3C.

Bit short of Cash and a Thunderbolt was on my want list - the mech was always cool in the background. I laso want to get soem more Dragons so I can master the one I have. But need to earn the c-bills!

My Awesome is just not working for me :(

I bought every Hunchback.

I am loving the Jager eve though I have yet to get a kill with one

Which Jager?

Regardless of which, try 2xLBX10, 2xML.
It's sort of hard to go wrong with, and with DHS it runs heat neutral on just the LBX10s.

On my Firebrand I run it as FIREBRAND

But really, any twin-ballistic +2ML build can do pretty well for itself, it'll just be a matter of practice and time.

I like the Puma. It comes with its own little sun shade/rain hat thing.
