Mechwarrior 3

[pipboy]

I have 4 and all the expansions.

And yeah I agree, the Nova Cat was by far one of my favorite mechs. It the medium range I love the Uziel. I just love PPG's in general. Although I love gauss as well.

I wonder what % of discoers are Mechwarrior people?

I loved Mech 3, but I couldn't get it to work on Windows XP without constant crashing.

Nova Cat and Thor are the same weight, if they both make into 5, we'll have to duke it out sometime. I never really had a fave medium mech, heavies were always my preferred weight class.

[Tenacity]

Puma was the other one I liked, interesting shape to it. Still, I almost always used a shadowcat in multiplayer brawls, unless everyone decided to go with pure heavy mechs... then I'd go in a Nova Cat loaded up with ER lasers or PPC's.

On a side note, did you play the Heavy Gear series?

Heh, I loved my Daishi and Atlas. Pretty much any Assault Mech was my favorite. Pack a bunch of autocannons on one, maybe an RAC or two if possible, and start sluggin'. Loved doing that, especially with a Fafnir and it's huge ballistic weapon slots. Can you say 8 LBX-20s?

Can you say a Puma with a LBX-20 and a large laser?......very interesting in the arenas......and yes,I've played Mech everything from the beginning back when it was called Battlemech,and it was all done with paper,pencils and dice......

OMG, I forgot about autocannons... One hell of a gun right there. That was my most recent favorite weapon.

I remember my first game of tabletop. My 20 tonner unloaded it's twin machineguns into something big and heavy at point blank range. Big and heavy then went boom.

My opponent was unimpressed.

Anyone else still have this game? I know I had mechwarrior 4 at one point in time but I have no idea what happened to the CD.

4 was pretty good after you got used to the whole specific weapon type slots thing, which caused some initial outrage. I prefered MW4 Mercs, but then I've always been a fan of MW mercenary companies. I've never actually finished 3, 2 and 4 have had multiple playings.

Didn't they open-source MW4? I was always partial to the Daishi myself. I dunno why. (Never did kit it like it was supposed to be. I usually went pure.)

Other than that, the Atlas is fun, 4 LBX-20s and I'm happy.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.
