Sure you can't match the Direwolf for raw firepower but in MW2 at any rate a little machinegun fire to the head or even upper chest area was almost guaranteed death. I remember doing trials in light mechs loaded to the gills with machineguns and taking out 5 stars of direwolvesThe Madman said:Tons of issues, but I loved it regardless probably because it was the most recognizable of the mechs and because damn it all, the Madcat looked sweet. And if you're taking out Daishi that easily, then whoever was piloting it was crap. With the sort of tonnage the Daishi boasts and with so much of it being omni-tech, you could kite those baby out with enough firepower to blow the legs out from just about any other mech in a single burst-fire.Continuity said:Come on now you're joshing me surely? The timberwolf had major design flaws.. the poxy arms getting shot off and the shoulder missile racks cooking off and taking out your torso springs to mind. Very few missions where I would load out a timber wolf.
As for the Direwolf... it was DireThe only mech I can kill in a matter of seconds in any other mech because of its massive cockpit being such an easy target. That thing is a death trap.
Pshaw, you underestimate the advantage 100 tons worth of omni-weaponry brings to the table, especially in skilled hands.
Besides, you'd be piloting a mid-range Loki who's armour is so thin a strong enough sneeze is likely to leave the pilot engulfed in flames. Just glancing in the direction of a Daishi, Atlas, or any other Assault mech has been known to lead to Loki self-destructing. Gargoyle while boasting decent armour and surprising speed for its size, not only looks silly but also far too lightly armed for its class... plus its arms are way too easy to destroy leaving the poor lil' things even more helpless so all it can do is run around and be a general pest. And the Warhammer... Actually I rather like the Warhammer. They're a solid all-round mech, versatile, fairly heavy, good armour, looks deadly... yup, it's alright!
Still no match for my Daishi though.
Though Its a little more tricky with a human opponent granted.Now the hellbringer is a glass cannon, but my what a cannon, if you can manage the heat that baby can go toe to toe with anything... I pilot a hellbringer though most of the MW2 missions.
The gargoyle is a gem in disguise, its imperative to custom load it, don't put anything in the arms and just use them as shields. There is more than enough room in the torso for a good loadout of guns... then you have yourself a heavily armoured, well armed battlemech with a slim profile and a great turn of speed. Its my personal mech of choice actually. The default loadouts suck though.
it did while hordes was a current game. I went from being able to fire up google and type "hotu" and get back home of the underdogs as the first hit, to not even having it on the first page.Owyn_Merrilin said:
Every RPGer was talking about HOTU (hordes) back then.
