While I'm not optimistic about MW5, credit where it's due, PGI didn't go the early-access route of getting all their sales early and then never finishing the game. I actually respect the fact that they're willing to just... release a game when it's done.

LOL that it'll be done when it's released.

What? Is "Transverse Kerensky" already taken? Just keep adding different bloodnames until you got a full squad. "Transverse Pryde" is a great one.

Fixed my computer. Pop in for a game.

I peel 3 mechs (2 heavy, 1 light) off of the enemy team to chase my locust. Tie score at 2 kills each.

We lose without getting another kill.

Never change, pubbies.

Same thing happened in 4 games with me as well, I peel away and distract 3 of their assaults and we still lose.

One game I was like totally munching robot rear end and getting the enemy to turn away constantly and break their firing line and in true fashion my potato team stayed safely behind a rock the entire time while I kited 5 mechs...

You know shits bad when you pull 800damage in a commando 2d with a single LPL 😫

I did. Happened later in the night, too.

Me: "I've got like 3 ... four... oh here's the marauder. 5 mechs on me, push into the team, you have the advantage."

Teammate: "push... where?"

Me: "... into the team. You have the numbers."

Per usual I assume that it's going to release completely broken, then LMGs and the Piranha's quirks will get gutted June 2018 just in time for the Cbill release.

as near as I can tell, its basically gonna have 6.5-7.25 tons to play with depending on ferro and if you shave head armor like the locust.

Also not an omni.

Someone did the maths and found out that you can shoot 1500 damage worth of heatless machineguns in 83 seconds for normal MGs or 104s for LMGs.

So yes you will run out of ammo pretty quickly, but if you've done 1500 damage before running out of ammo in a light you did your job.

Which will end up at crotch level. Or I guess in the arm - I have no idea how many crit slots one of those takes or a light arm even has anymore, though Im not sure I ever consciously knew.
