Behold the Mech King!
May. 19th, 2003 07:54 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
bzarcherD/L'd the new mechassault content tonight. Haven't tried the new maps or CTF over Live because...well...I just had to jump into each of the new mechs and take a few turns around the Grinder to get a feel for them.
So. Here we go.
Loki: Okay. The good news is that it's a Loki. You're fast, extremely heat efficient, ECMed, and carry a fairly diverse weapons spread.
The bad news is that you are still piloting a Loki. You have shit armor, your diverse weapons are often ineffective (your ACs are pathetic), and if you don't use the stealth well, you are gonna get punked.
Hellbringer: JESUS CHRIST! Take a Loki. Improve the mobility, give it jumpers, give it HOMING FLAMERS OF BALLS OF FUCKING FIRE !!!, give it a tiny LRM rack rather than a medium SRM rack, and you have a truly awesome mech for fast in close combat. This thing was amazing in River City, and its' heat signature is just as low as the Loki if not lower. No stealth, but I'm willing to make the trade. I like it a lot. Might even replace the Bowman as my preferred 'low end' heavy mech.
I like these. A lot. Should be fun to take them out onto Live and enjoy.
(Side note: Go read this if you have any interest in theological examinations of the Matrix Reloaded. It's not bad at all.)

Re: mech badassness
Date: 2003-05-20 03:32 am (UTC)For overall coolness and balance, I've always liked the Bushwhacker. It sounds like an Aussie design, to me. :) And it could potentially be a LAM, if a mech game ever implements the LAM rules. I want to fly through the skkkyyyyyyeeeee...
