Frackin' awesome!  Go tactics!  Go LRMs!  Thank you for taking MechWarrior to the next level.

[RocketDog]

Groovy!

And the trees look just the right size too 

Cheers,

RD.

[Stormin']

Wow!  That looks incredible guys!  Beautiful, absolutely beautiful!  Bravo!

[Bangy]

Once again, the LRM FX just rock. The explosions of that Atlas = win.

Can't wait to see the mechs in action.

[SummerRider]

Cool.


I'll expose my naivety here.  What is to stop a "moron" from your team using a second TAG to target something useless?

In the video the order was:
1) launch the missals
2) the person with the TAG "marks" the target
3) the missals that are in flight zoom in on the target location.

That's great for when only one person has a TAG.   My question is what about if you have two people, Can you fire the missals with a "listen for TAG1 signal" type of setting vs "listen for any friendly TAG signal"?

[BOTA:49]

Just because it has to be done...

Was that a MKII in the background?

[AlieNPhelan]

WOW... Love it.

Also... interesting question regarding multiple TAG.

[x_wHowUzI_x]

Very cool video indeed.

Also... interesting question regarding multiple TAG.

Veeeeery interesting.

Would it be possible for opposing teams to sabotage each others missiles?
A scenario on the video would be an enemy appearing on the opposite ridge where the elemental is and tagging HIM as his teams missiles come down.

Friendly fire is so not cool.....

[Landros Radick]

Cool.

That'd be pretty cool to have like 4 channels for TAG and being able to select which signal to use..

Hmm, like a previous poster says, it doesn't seem like there's much to stop someone using TAG and pointing it at, say, the mech who originally launched the missiles. Even more (potentially) annoying is the fact that if missiles are already fired at another enemy unit, the TAG can redirect them somewhere where the originaly player was not intending.

I have to say those LRM's look very good. i like how they fire like mw2 and not mw4.

[Mr_Blastman]

Do the LRM's scatter when they hit or do they all hit the same point on the target - i.e. CT, leg, arm, etc?

In MW3 this was a huge problem and made the LRM's too powerful, in MW2 and MW2 Mercenaries, they caused splash damage on the whole target balancing them better.

It has already been said, that the missiles home in on the closest friendly TAG.

Well, I died while seeing this instruction movie! it kicks ass!

(but it ain't funny)
