Pretty much! Soon as CASE came out, the flow chart was pretty simple: Will this ammo kill/cripple the mech? Throw on the CASE. There was pretty much no situation where the CASE wasn't worth it's weight--hell, you'd be better of scraping off armor before ditching a CASE. Unfortunately, I...

Yeah, going from the PC game to the tabletop was jarring in that way, when you see a little light mech and figure 'easy kill' then realize that because he ran in a straight line with a little intervening terrain that it is near impossible to hit him with a solid weapon, and the heavier hitters...

I uhh, don't think he's talking about BF3 at all, but the trend in previous MW games where SP was basically waiting to get into the 'Assault' class of Heavy mechs (75-100 tons). The reason being because, particular in 2/3, speed wasn't all that valuable. In MP games, there was almost no...

No clan mechs (yet. ) None of them are going to be in it. As a good rule of thumb, if it was in Mechwarrior 2 (not Mercenaries), it's probably not in the game.

You're right about the LRM 20, but while LRM 20's were mildly dangerous, getting close to an Atlas was just plain suicidal. It's auto/20 had a bad habit of near one-shotting lightmechs in and of itself. Best bet was to get in it's rear arcs because of it's slow movement speed. Still, in a...

'Good?' or 'Successful?' Because uh, Counterstrike comes to mind. I don't like Counterstrike, but a very large group of people do and have for a very long time. Also 'good story' is pretty subjective--I wouldn't say Punch Out had a good story, but the game was a blast. Hell, the entire...

Oh god here we go. Something you never, ever had to do. Ever. Not one red cent. Everything had a chance to drop, most everything (save keys) are craft-able. Trash the crates and you don't even have to deal with it being there. None of which you ever had to equip or bother with if you...

I think people are putting too much weight in the Justice's sarcastic statements. Supreme Court Justices are known for being brusque, even venomously sarcastic in their deliberations. Ostenibly, the reason for this is they don't want to beat around the bush. 'Tearing in' to someone's...

Just a quick aside you *can* usually go back and re-try an interview when you blow it without restarting--just quit out mid-interview (or directly afterwards) and re-load. It's less back-tracking, far from perfect. You can back out of Lie accusations too if you don't think any evidence...

Wanted to agree with Katana, but add a stipulation: Spies are one of the most valuable tools against the almighty Heavy/Medic/something assist train. If you know a group that has been steadily pushing back, find a quick way behind my enemy lines. I change it up as often as I can, but I tend to...
