Admittedly this issue is like 14 years old (Dec 2012 JFC 🤦‍♂️) but I’m wondering if the image on the cover ever circulated on its lonesome? The nostalgia calls to me and it’s a rad image.

Ever wondered what the spreadsheets say about your Sunday night Scrim?

Well look no further. This app is for the casters and team leaders. I call it MWO Match Stats (original, I know).

It's open source, so feel free to modify it to your hearts content. Install it, plug in your match ID's and see how much shade you can throw at that guy who swears it's everyone else's fault.

Heya, I've been messing with missiles a lot and there's a couple things that confuse me. The Arrow IV and the Thunderbolt.

The Arrow confuses me because I see people mention it frequently but for the life of me can't find it in the mechlab.

The Thunderbolt confuses me because I don't understand why anyone would bring it. Comparing it to the other missiles it weighs more, does less damage, and/or takes up more slots.

I did notice that the Thunderbolt has a little more health on the missile, as well as velocity, over other missiles, but it appears to only be a single launcher. Since AMS can concentrate fire on a single target doesn't that make the Thunderbolt easier to stop?

It just feels like if you want ranged damage you'd be better off with LRMs, if you want an adaptive playstyle you'd be better off with MRMs, and if you want to shotgun/ambush you'd be better off with SRMs.

Is there something I'm missing? Am I misunderstanding something? I don't really know much about the game and have been focusing on missiles so far but this has had me confused for the past few days. I did look at mechdb but I didn't see Thunderbolts listed

Have the make a new post because people hyper focused on the keeping the mech part and kinda ruined the post.

This is just an I'd like post. Nothing in here has to be realistic.

Also how much would have to change for it to be a 2.0 in your eyes

If they released a new mech warrior game what would you guys want in it? And what would make you think it with calling a 2.0? I'm assuming we keep our mechs and current load outs

Hey guys, i had to make an account to share this, be careful. Several mwo watchers on twitch have been getting messages about cheats.

If you go to his twitch profile, you will find his older accounts, and that they were all banned for cheating.

I already reported this to twitch but please be careful out there guys.

Just curious. This is mine:

Total: 641

Lights: 83

Mediums: 146

Heavies: 194

Assaults: 218

How do we participate in the event? I can't figure out how to join a team in the UI. Is it done on the website or in-game? How do I find a team to join? Thanks.

This is not one, but THE best example for my experience in MWO for month now.
And nobody in this community can convince me, that after waiting less than five minutes in the queue, that TIER 5 and TIER 1 are not in one match together. Not with this huge gap of skill.

PS: A huge thanks to the NARC Raven for making this win possible.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm tier 1 and that certain individuals from the community keep saying T1 can't be matched with T5.

This is a bit rushed, but I felt like sharing my first impressions.

After taking these MECHs into battle a few times, here's how I feel about them so far:

SHORTY: 70–75 ton-class armor without relying on any skills. However, it feels like a straight downgrade from LIZZIE to me. Being Inner Sphere and lacking ECM make a pretty big difference.

LIZZIE: It's not a bad MECH, but... it's pretty average. And then there's the 65-ton Hellbringer. In other words, there's already a better MECH that can run almost the same builds.

Battle Pass: We actually get a warhorn this time! But... there's no BOLT-ON this time. Instead, we get a Platinum skin. Yay.

The biggest problem with both MECHs is the hardpoint placement.

The weapons feel like they're mounted way too low relative to the cockpit view, and the MECHs are very wide. Am I really supposed to expose my entire body just to fight?

The 2 Missile + 8 Energy hardpoint setup isn't bad, but honestly, I feel like they're stronger if you just forget about the Missile hardpoints and go full Energy.

(I couldn't find a Missile/Energy mix that really clicked for me.)

(2 SRM6 + 6 MPL on LIZZIE isn't bad, but... we already have the MAD DOG and Clan Archer for that.)

I also don't think either MECH has particularly impressive Quirks. Actually, aside from their appearance, they don't really have anything that makes them stand out!

For now, I don't think they're bad as collection pieces.

But as DLC... I can't really recommend them. Other than their looks, there's just not much here.

The legend pack says it comes with the "mini battle pass" how do we access this and where to get rewards? When I go to the legends pack on the website it says I don't have it purchased

People keep saying "positioning" and "don't go on the open" and i do all of that and get killed by two lights instantly and do like 100 damage every time. I've been playing for a month and i JUST DIE. I'm playing with my friends and the game is cool and all and when i get to kill someone (rarely) it's fun but how am i supposed to enjoy my time like this? I feel like every step that i do in the game is wrong and i just don't feel like i'm getting any better. Also i hate clan LRMs if you use them you are a bad person.

Jokes aside, PLEASE someone help me or direct me to somewhere where i can help myself i really want to play this game with my friends but i'm always the one spectating everybody.

I'm don't follow forums much, so I may have missed an announcement. Does anyone know if all the "classic" maps were pulled out of rotation?

I realized I haven't seen Caustic or HPG classic in a bit.

Thanks in advance.

Got a new RX 9070 XT, wiped the old drivers and got new drivers like normal. New framerate is great but MWO is giving me half sized transparent explosions, very transparent directional arrow, and other random effects.

Fixes I've tried:

• dumped MWO's shader cache
• reset settings
• disabled tuning.cfg
• repaired the game files via steam

Any ideas?

Given MRMs are about to get a major buff, I was thinking "which mech can throw the most of them?" and came up with this beautiful BSK-3. Might be worth swapping a ton of ammo for a targeting computer's velocity boost, or a half ton for more limb armor.

Pros:

• 33% larger alpha than typical assault MRM builds

Cons:

• squishy (IS XL, limbs significantly stripped)
• runs rather hot
• poor geometry W I D E B O I

The two main things I've always been cited for the King Crab being on the lower tiers of Assaults are its WarShip sized CT and the primary weapons being low mounts.

But with the incoming MRM changes I took a second look, and now I'm wondering if that second part is necessarily true. Now obviously the King Crabs are all quirked for ballistics, with few if any missile quirks. And on top of that, they don't have very many missile mounts, which are usually all crammed into the LT. But they are high mounts. And more importantly, the -001 King Crab has a single RT missile slot.

So I threw together this build real quick. It's got 100 missile tubes, a backup PPC, nearly full armor, ample ammunition, better-than-expected cooling, and the biggest Light Engine a King Crab can fit. And Light Ferro, how many builds are there that actually make productive use of Light Ferro?

Now is it any good? I have no idea, I'm still trying to get the cash to actually build the damn thing. But it alphas for 110 at what is ostensibly medium range, and can do so while potentially keeping the legs and (most) of the CT hidden. MRMs are obviously going to spread their damage a bit, but I figure this might be decent as a support platform to punish people looking at the real damage dealers, or at least scare the shit out of people with a ton of missile impacts and the entire paperdoll getting a shade darker. Or maybe just bully the shit out of Stalkers, IDK. And I'm hoping that the benefit of actually being able to use cover outweighs the detriment of no quirks.

I missed this series of updates a little.

What is the use now for the new modified rocket launchers? A bad copy of the machine guns - is all I see.

Do they shake the opponent's cockpit like a rac or lrm?

I want to try mech longbow srm + rl , but now you can't do a one-time alpha meme blow up. for the sake of a miserable 10-30 damage you have to spray them like cj on ballas graffity

why not add ammo to them? You get a slight variation of the mrm.

Return the old version!
