[PLightstar]

With that Steel Battalion and the new Mechwarrior, sounds like a good time for us mech fans

 

[ECA]

I don't understand why there hasn't been a series of GOOD japanese mecha games, it's just confusing.

Seriously, is no one playing this? This game is fantastic! sooo much FUN. fast paced, addictive, top quality graphics, atmospheric audio, fast responsive reliable netcode.

free to play model... play the game, earn credits, buy new mechs, weapons, stuff with credits.
I enjoyed the first ten hours so much I paid for the mech packs to support the developers.

Got bored after a few hours tbh @wolfeeh

Purchased the nemesis pack on steam. Great game. Also gifted a pack to my son. Few of his friends came around over the weekend and played over the LAN. Now they all have accounts. Lvl 22 and rising, marricus is my game name. Beginning to hate those stealth bots. Maps are good but could do with a few more.

herk! I havn't played for a bit, but when I do I tend to play the support / technican mech. Strangely I have only ever seen *one* other dude playing support. I know @WPKenny plays too. Perhaps us FH peeps could gang up and play some maps together sometime? Iirc I'm Teedles in game.

I've only racked up an hour or two in total. I got into the alpha yonks ago. I played a little then moved on until it came out on steam. I wanted to give it a go on the oculus so I fired it up. It was a pain to get working and the game is blockier than most games. It is kind of cool being able to look around the cockpit but it was too hard to see anything beyond a few metres.

I'm up for giving it a go as a team, thought I can't claim to be any good!

 

[wolfeeh]

I'm well up for that

I don't mind playing in the technician, it has some pretty troll weapons. But i generally like my Brawler more because the flak rapes all those light mechs that keep trying to get in close and personal with me.

Yo I friended up a bunch of you yesterday using steam names. My ingame's not Teedles but TestinDaCable btw....my bad, sorry for that.

Played a couple games with some random dudes on the Seige game type and my side got absolutely raped lol. Only one game did we turn it around and I even got MVP, so that was pretty sweet

 

[TdC]

awwrite chums I've been skiving off my thesis and gained a couple levels. I kind of like being a 'combat medic' thing, though hoo boy stuff gets kind of hectic when the technician has to go head to head with anything other than another technician lol o_0

 

[TdC]

Recorded a fun siege session as an offensive sniper. Vid's going to be fairly large, so when my paltry upstream lets me it will be on my YT channel.

 

[TdC]

ofc my pc decided to patch/reboot half way through a 15hr upload

 

[Ctuchik]

You can stop automatic reboots in gpedit (if it's enabled, if not google how to).

 

[TdC]

cheers chumlar! I will look in to this. Also, it seems the old ' tube has a resume function, which is handy as fook tbh. Anyway, the YT compression is terribad but hey ho

Might wanna flag the video as public, not private.

 

[TdC]

lol dat youtube. I did absolutely nothing to this vid, and first it wouldn't let me upload it, and then magically made it private. oh well.

 

[TdC]

My team got absolutely creamed by a team with two fairly good dudes yesterday zomg. I love playing against really skilled players, as while you do get pasted, you also get the chance to watch and learn. I saw three quite good guys in yesterday's session, and one actually denounced another player, who I consider to be quite good, as a cheater. Oh well. The denounced dude does tend to rack up a surprising amount of kills in a short time so who knows? I didn't think enough people played Hawken to make cheating a fun enough exercise for the kids tbh :-/

 

[TdC]

played some Missile Assault on a 24p server today for the first time. all the servers I've played on were 6v6, this one doubled that up. I sucked though 0o
