This game needed excessive control customization, I had it setup like your average FPS, with weapon combos on the 1-whatever keys and everything else moved closer to WASD to keep things efficient. (I hate having to reach across the keyboard just to turn on a light or vent heat) |

I was ♥♥♥♥ pleased to see Hammer come back to help me out. I was pretty much in red with a disabled leg during that fight, but I had ploughed the enemies down, the only thing left was the Thanatos. EDIT : I snapped and started to download Mech Commander 2. Woo for RTT mech action. |

I used to use my mouse's thumb buttons (3/4/5) for weapon-swapping, but the wheel feels more natural, and I can't see it being too useful for speed control, but that may just be me. |

Yeah, I've been pretty much plowing through anything, but the honour guard mission. Man, was that hard, and a fun challenge. I think I just bolted an Atlas with all the CQC weapons I had. |

The sheer rate of fire shreds anything below a assault mech in seconds, while an assault can only take a short pounding from it. I equip my whole squad. Yet to lose a member. I made it through the honour guard mission by using a modified mauler, since I could not get my trusty Talos yet. |

My Flagmech, at the moment, is a Hauptmann. 18,5 tons of armour and armed with two assault lasers, an LBX autocannon 20 and two medium pulse lasers, it's quite a beast. |

Guys, maybe, we should, ya know, get in a IRC so we can actually play? P.S. Joystick beats all yo controls. |

I have grown attached to the Flea. It's earned me at least 10 grand, and I've already won two Solaris matches in it. It's such a simply mech, but it's so good at harassing. |
