Whats your favorite Mech /v/?
pic related, 2 heavy gauss rifles, what more could a bear ask for?
>>246245436
Something that an Uziel doesn't fucking run circles around while peppering it with double PPCs.
>>246245436
I love pooting around as this cute little guy.
Can use a gauss, AC or ER PPC, to boot, along with some medium range weaponry.
Do any of the games have the Awesome? There's the one version with 4 PPCs and I'd imagine seeing all of those hit at once would be orgasmic
banshee. bushwacker and panther also good.
>>246245696

There was never a healthy comunity to begin with. MWO is a joke on every fucking level: the game, the developers and the community are a fucking joke.

>>246249150
A single Next could solo pretty much everything in the Mechwarrior universe.
I love both, the AC4 era mechs are just too stupidly strong for Battlemechs to stand up to them.
AC5 and VD mechs make me hard
Gatling guns are extra sexy.

>>246250104
you can still just get mechwarrior 4. it has aged surprisingly well
>>246249639
I dunno mang, AC's are a lot smaller than assault mechs and the firepower and armor those things pack is WH40K tier
>>246250225
I tried to play 4 Mercs but it bugged out halfway through the campaign and I got too bummed out to try replaying it all.
I think there's a 4x gauss rifle version of this
>>246250159
more like, cram a 300XL inside of it and run around like a retard knocking over everything.
>>246249541
>If we had the technology i see no problem
Any weaponry you could put on a mech you could put on a tank or wheeled truck for a fraction of the cost of the mech.
>a frame as agile and versatile as a bipedal
Not to mention just as frail. A single RPG hit to the knee or ankle joint of a mech and it's done. And no you can't just put more armor on it, then you'd lose your one advantage of agility. Same thing goes for finding some sort of "super" armor material, just like today with tank armor, every advance in armor is met with an advance in anti-armor weapons.
Mechs are cool as shit in theory, and I am a mech fan myself, but they just are not practical as warfighting machines and sadly they never will be. They are fantasy machines are that is where they will stay.
>>246245436
OP that's the best one and the best mech!

>>246250594

>>246249625
>mechs HOLDING their guns with their humanoid hands
Fucking disgusting. Anyway, Metal Gear Rex > all of your shitty AC and FM cardboard box deathtraps. One shot from that railgun and it's all over. The only thing that could probably battle Rex in 1v1 fight is a Clan Behemoth II with naval grade railgun on its back.
>>246249541
You would need to make the fucking mech out of air to prevent the heavy as shit thing from sinking in to the earth.
Unless you wanted big honking clown shoes on the thing to distribute weight evenly. Which means you would have a slow, clumsy, stupid looking clown robot standing 20+ meters tall and being exposed to all the fire in the world since everybody fucking sees the thing.
>>246248882
Will there be another series like Front Mission?
I've played all of 'em and I want more but...there won't be anything quite like it, huh?
>>246250850
So, Metal Gear REX piloted by Fox/Liquid goes up against a Clanner veteran in a Behemoth II. Who would win?

>>246251724
>>246251749
You niggers think there is any mud deep enough to hinder this nigger?
I've always felt like Grasshopper is a solid and flexible mech for the tabletop.
Hunchback is sweet, Mechcommander taught you how great a single AC20 could be.
Blood Asp from Mechcommander 2 was one of the best "oh my god, I love this power!" mech feelings.
Mechwarrior 3 Avatar and Thor deserve a mention, considering how many hours I put in those cockpits.
Stormcrow came back in one of the Mechwarrior 4 expansions, just as sweet as it was in MW2.
Mad Dog, Timber Wolf, Raven and Catapault have a special place in my heart as well.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MQPWE_M_EM
>>246251975
Well, yes. It walks by moving it's legs forward. It only needs to be deep enough that trying to step forward would make it stick harder and fall. You know how when you wade through mud, snow or sand, you have to lift your legs totally up and out first, doing a funny looking hopping motion? It can't do that.
>>246251792
I KNEW it looked familiar at first!
>>246251975
And now consider a "tank" of equal proportions or mass.
lel
>>246250339
But in the 4 setting, those ACs regularly take on things bigger than Battlemechs packing weapons that are also beyond 40K tier.
Honestly, it comes down to whether or not the NEXT can dodge everything. If so, the NEXT has it. Some of the smaller arms fire will chunk a NEXT, but the shielding should help it survive. Missiles might be survivable, but it's going to take a lot out. Anything bigger will likely instagib a NEXT.
For gameplay, probably Shadowcat. Decent speed with jump jets and big enough to carry an LBX20. Sneaking around with low radar signature blasting people in the back and hiding before they know what happened.
/v/ has halo custom edition threads, anyone be interested in a once a week thread to play mechwarrior living legends together?
>>246251056
Powerdolls? It even has it's own 3d-action abortion.
I dunno if any of that got translated though.

>>246251919
>tiny-ass cannon with noammo that can't penetrate civilian cars.
MY LEFT AND RIGHT TORSOS ARE IN ORBIT
>>246252497
Take your disgusting pacific rim fanfiction and leave you disgusting moeshit.
For coolness, I'd go for the MadCat MK2 for being an Assault class with jump jets.
>>246252546
Equal fucking proportions.
I can play that game too.
>>246252546
>7 bullets = 1 ton
Those are some pretty big bullets.
>>246252798
That's a good case of why mechs are good, that piece of shit needed to be on a railway because treads that big could never go over terrain
>>246251975
>You niggers think there is any mud deep enough to hinder this nigger?
Yeah, it's called a quad ERPPC Warhawk.
Anyway, a quad ERPPC Warhawk would ruin pretty much anything in this thread.
>ERPPCs can outrange your shitty ballistics
>Warhawk's targeting computer makes it incredibly accurate, allowing it to hit specific bodyparts on a fast moving mech
>all clan mechs can mount ECM pods, that will jam the everliving shit out of anything, forcing you into an oldschool sniper duel and making your lock-on weapons useless

Hurtbutt spheroid detected. Mad that your Atlas is a walking 100 ton heap of scrap?
>>246253374
Yeah, but fantasy tier technology goes anywhere. I can just as easily twist it into saying all machines are now worthless since the only true military strength is now judged by childrens card games.
America is rapidly overrun by autistic japanese children shouting about friendship.
>>246253374
Now apply that fantasy tier technology to huge flat threads instead of tiny pointy legs...
>>246252943
Tabletop AC20s are actually even worse, they only get 5 shots per ton. Though that does include storage and feed systems, and at least some of them are fluffed as firing bursts of shots instead of one giant one.
Gauss rifles are pretty ridiculous though. They explicitly fire a single shot, and they're coilguns so the ammo is caseless and doesn't need propellant or anything. They're just 125 KG balls of solid metal. Like, fuck.
>>246253190
Just wait until these godlike legs step on your fucking house

the game still has a niche community of players, probably because its still the best mechwarrior experience ever made
>>246255742

And they also took off the MW4 free release from the face of the earth, so I ain't happy.

does mechwarrior have multi monitor support?
I'm poor and would never be able to use it, but that would be amazing
>>246258423
MWLL is based on the crysis engine which does not have "true" multi monitor support (ie different stuff shown on different screens). You can extend your image across multiple monitors as with most games though.
>>246258423
The Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries free release did, and it had a buttload of mechs. It was made in 2001 and some parts of it show, but it's still fun.
>>246258905
>Free release
Hold up a goddamn moment.
What?
It's FREE?
>>246250159
That was a great Battletech book,black samurai was a great character, shame about the ending.
In the Battletech/Mechwarrior series my favorite mech was always the Uller/Kitfox. Its speedy nature and heavy punching loadout makes it my GOAT. Sucks MW4:Mercs left out the auto cannon it is usually armed with.
Here's to the best mech that'll never be in a Mechwarrior game.
Fuck MWO.
>>246259062
Yes, a indie developer that released a bunch of mods (like 100+ new mechs) got the rights from Microsoft to distribute it officially for free, and it came bundled with all of the mods and fixes.
After MWO took down MWLL, they took it down immediately afterwards. You can still get it, but it's a bit more roundabout.

Let me introduce you to: The Devastator.
This beauty packs 2 Gauss Rifles and 2 PPCs as main armaments and 4 Medium Lasers as backup. One of the medium lasers is placed on the back to protect from infantry and lesser threats.
I just hope that atleat one of the upcoming mech games will be good.
>You will never pilot a mech and die a glorious death on the battlefield.

Come at me, brah.
>>246268095
Mechwarrior Online has proven that in a simulated combat situation the shape of the mech as well as the hardpoint locations are the most important thing when it comes to long range combat.
Knuckle-dragger mechs with low mounted hardpoints like the Atlas and Devastator are absolute garbage when it comes to long range combat, since they must expose themselves a lot when firing from behind a ridge. A lone PPC loaded Stalker would be eating those Devastators in droves at long range.

>>246269723

>>246270437
The Light ray. It's quick, it's well armored, it carries a targeting computer and it either has a main armament of a Large Pulse Laser or an ER PPC.
It only lacks jump jets, but with its high mobility and good armor, it can lay down some terribly accurate devastation while being nearly impossible to hit.
>>246270575
>>246270134
The game is shit, but it showed just how crucial proper hardpoint placement is in a mech, when we're talking about a real time game with proper projectile origins (as in, the projectiles start their flightpath from the hardpoint location). MWO has shown that half the mech designs are fucking retarded, especially the majority of humanoid mechs with arms.
Only in MWO a Jagermech or even a fucking Blackjack could outshoot an Atlas or a Victor at long range with impunity.
