MechWarrior Online: Ilya Muromets Hero Cataphract, CTF-IM, In Action

Here are a series of videos of me piloting the hero Cataphract "Ilya Muromets", CTF-IM.

The load out I am using is three AC5 and three Medium Lasers. I used to use three Ultra AC5, but got tired of the guns jamming and since the AC5 now fires at the same rate as the Ultra AC5, the damage output is about the same.

A match in Forest Colony Snow where I get 3 kills and 5 assists on 418 damage.

 

 

A match in Crimson Strait where I get 2 kills and 5 assists on 659 damage.

MechWarrior Online: Atlas, AS7-D-DC, with AC20 and 2 Large Lasers In Action

This is a series of videos where I pilot an Atlas, AS7-D-DC, with an AC20, two Large Lasers, and three SRM6. I've liked this particular build for close range brawling since Closed Beta. The Large Lasers give it some mid-range attack, but it excels at ranges under 270 meters due to the AC20 and 3 SRM6.

You'll probably notice I have no problem using the AC20 to hit targets past 270 meters. I started doing this after the change to ACs where their max range was increased from double to triple the optimum range. At 500 meters, the AC20 is doing about 10 points of damage and, I feel, is effective to about 600 meters.

Battle in Canyon Network where I get 2 kills and 4 assists on 673 damage.

 

Battle in Caustic Valley where I get 5 kills and 2 assists on 818 damage. You will probably need to watch in full screen to see what I'm shooting at most of the game. :)

MechWarrior Online: Phoenix Shadow Hawk, SHD-2H, In Action

Here is my Phoenix Shadow Hawk, SHD-2H, series of videos. The current build is two Auto-cannon 2, one Medium Pulse Laser, and 3 Streak SRM (SSRM) and can be found here: Shadow Hawk, SHD-2H

In the video below, I get gimped and live through it in River City Night. I get 1 kill and 5 assists on 392 damage.

A battle in Terra Therma. I don't get any kills, but there is an epic fight and I end up with 5 assists on 349 damage.

A battle in Canyon Network where I get 2 kills and 7 assists on 477 damage.

A battle in Forest Colony Snow where I get 3 kills and 7 assists on 587 damage.

An Assault match in Canyon Network where I get 3 kills 2 and assists 563 damage.

MechWarrior Online: Atlas AS7-D-DC with AC20 and 2 ER Large Lasers in Action

These are a series of videos where I pilot an Atlas AS7-D-DC with an AC20, 2 ER Large Lasers, and 3 SRM6. It's currently my preferred D-DC build in PUG matches when I drop solo or when in a 4 man group with mechs of various weights.

The match below took place while in a DHB four man lance during an epic battle in Tourmaline Desert. Not the best place to be running this slightly warm build with only one Cool Shot, but somehow I manage to get 7 kills and 3 assists on 1063 damage and our lance accounts for all of our team's kills (11).

Battle in Forest Colony Snow where I get 5 kills and 7 assists on 787 damage. This was the last match of a long night where I had mostly very mediocre games in the D-DC.

MechWarrior Online: 12v12 on Test Server - July 11, 2013

So, PGI made their MechWarrior Online Test Server available to the public yesterday, July 11, for two two hours blocks. (One in the morning and the other later in the afternoon Pacific time) to test the upcoming 12 on 12 battles.The general consensus among the eight DHB members I played with was it was very fun. The game dynamic is definitely changed and is very refreshing. I really didn't want to go back to playing 8 on 8 battles after two hours of 12 on 12 battles. :D

You can view three of the battles below or you can watch the entire two hour session here: http://www.twitch.tv/gimpy21/c/2564971

A DHB 4 man group in a 12 on 12 battle on Forest Colony Snow Assault mode.

 

Another 12 on 12 battle on the Test Server. This time in Canyon Network Assault mode.

Two DHB 4 man groups try to sync drop and end up on opposite teams. For the better. Not much fighting in this battle on Tourmaline Desert Assault mode, but it's still fun due to one crazy Jenner pilot on our team.
