talking with people brings out the best in me i guess
in response to "big stompy robots that are utterly helpless against their own weapons" being kind of realistic if Mechs are supposed to be WALKING TANKS

(12:32:34 PM) Andrew: Yeah but even tanks have defenses
(12:32:48 PM) Andrew: Their armor is designed to (hopefully) deflect glancing blows
(12:32:55 PM) Andrew: they're low to the ground
(12:33:07 PM) Andrew: have smoke grenades and cameoflague
(12:34:02 PM) Andrew: A Valkyrie has its speed against missiles. Later ones have shields for deflecting bullets. Mobile Suits have natural jamming, agility, and power.
(12:34:11 PM) Andrew: All a battlemech has is hoping the other guy misses
(12:34:42 PM) Andrew: they are less adept than a soldier with body armor

maybe that's mercenaries though, i never played mercenaries

GUYS
BATTLETECH PODS.
Apparently some places still have them, but none close to me. This is a crime, and while I am not one who needs an obscene amount of money to be happy I would not refuse enough wealth to buy a dozen or so.

the Mad Kitties tumble over in a really funny way

Supposedly it's a modified Armored VF-1A Valkyrie Crusader
also most of the buttons on the keyboard are so you can individually change each HUD element
you can have a full screen of nothing but heat displays
because heat is very important

"Group fire"? What the hell?
Every memory I ever had of MechWarrior 2 is "Anhkmped-fire, engaged."
I don't get it.
EDIT: Oh, you're playing Mercenaries. That has to be the reason.

My two favorite parts of btech are
1) assigning narrative to what just happened while playing megamek (Gary 7 valorously rammed his truck into the Warhammer's foot. He died instantly, warhammer unscathed, but the bridge collapsed under the added weight and dropped him 300 feet into a river. Gary 7 was awarded posthumously for his quick thinking and hasty self sacrifice).
2) PODS!
man these were so cool as a kid
I'll be honest I'd think they were so cool right now, if there were any that existed anywhere near me
