Yep. So using chain fire on ac2s is worse than just clicking wildly.

Yeah, except you boat like 4 of them. Think of the program as clicking for you while you hold down the button, instead of you doing the clicking manually. If you watch the entire video the guy explains it pretty well. All the program does is let you set up a group of weapons to fire at the highest possible DPS. So, if you had a King Crab with 6 AC/2 the program would be firing your guns in a chain that would allow you to permanently sustain fire. As soon as the last gun in the fire chain goes ON cooldown, the next gun will be OFF cooldown and ready to be fired. Rinse and repeat and boom you know have a minigun bullet hose.

yeah, I understand all of this, I even used to use a UAC/5 script back in the day. I just didn't realise AC2s recycled that fast.

Feeling bored today so i'm coming back as Seadogs. Although I haven't played since the days we could still bait half the opposing team to disconnect with the "Alt-F4 for third person" shtick and I think Awesomes were the flavor of the day. I have no idea what I'm doing now.

The "alt-F4" trick is now a bannable offense. The current super-popular mechs are Arctic Cheetah, Firestarter, Stormcrow, Timber Wolf and Stalker and a few others. Crabs and Marauders are popular because of their tanky body shapes. Warhammers just got released so lots of people got one. Blackjacks were good until they recently got quirk-nerfed along with a ton of other Inner Sphere mechs. There's a new big-rear end mostly-flat arctic map which most of the playerbase doesn't like very much. Events good, grind bad.

Well, telling others to do it probably won't go well for you after a while.

For a long time in the beta we used to do it regularly and no one was punished for it at the time, I imagine in part because it would require differentiating the game crashing/disconnecting from being deliberately terminated.

It was a masterpiece. Just some banter we would throw up in chat.

1st person: "Hey how do you enable third person?"
2nd person: "Alt-F4"
3rd person: "don't spread that poo poo rear end in a top hat it's OP and hosed up."

Sometimes you didn't even have to mislead them with third-person controls. Just saying "WOWEE! ALT+F4!" earned me more than a few disconnects.

I too blew 3 million cbills on 6 LBX-AC5's, the best match was when phorashi charged straight at me with a nova without even twisting and cored me out before I even turned his armor orange.

All these choices were bad, and to clarify my position, I'm not scared to put XL's in IS robots.

Run the 6 in the Cheatah, just hold off shooting all the time you impatient dick (me). 6x LB5's? gently caress you.
