Lifetime Rating for SlingsNArrows: 6.2000 |  | Team Attrition - two teams of "Mech" pilots bring their beasts to against each other on a map full of water ways, cities, and fields.
It was a 6 v 6, on a city map. Hmmmm.... time to hit the mech lab! Well, city buildings...tight spaces with some big open squares. Not the kind of place where a long range shot is gonna be cool. For that matter, not often that much room to run.
Hmmm... ok, no room to manuever - so.... I can be slowish. No long range missiles.... cause they'll whack into short range buildings. no short range missiles, they take too long, the enemy can duck down side streets. Hmmmmm.... That leaves us with well..... a short range mech design with lots of armor, heat sinks for continuous fire, and a lot of weapons that can flake the armor off fast!
Well... let's see. Atlas got the best armor and a good weapons array for an infighter ( too bad it's so slow or it'd be a great infighting mech on the plains too)
Ok, so we leave the speed at max (57 kph sooo slow)On my left arm, I install a particle projection cannon (PPC), and another one of the right for good measure. These do a lot of damage, especially if you hit somebody's gyro(the connection between the legs and torso), and although they are the only beam weapons that don't hit instantly, they are still pretty damned fast moving. The PPCs are gonna generate a lot of heat, but that's ok, cause now I am putting a Gauss Rifle in my torso (another big damage weapon, kinda slow for my taste, but WOW can it put on the hurt) To finish off the mech, I basically put a shot gun cannon on the other side of my torso. This puppy shreds armor at close range, although it's not so hot when you add distance. Ok, a few tons left, on foes the FLAME THROWER. This is cool close range also, because it doesn't just do damage, it drives up your opponents heat too which can shut them down. It also only weighs like .5 of a ton, so I figured what the hell, I had an extra .5 ^o^
Ok, I click as many heat sunkens as I can into my mech, and save the beast. Then I join the game, the 6th man on the team. Well, I appear sorta on the city outskirts. There were plain areas surround the cities, and I saw by my radar that one of my team mates was out there, and two opponents were. Unfortunately for him, his mech was even slower than mine, an atlas with an engine downgrade apparently to make more space for armor or weapons. The enemies seemed to be quite speedy in comparisons and were circling and tearing him apart.
I wanted to help, but I couldn't risk getting caught out on the plains like he had, so I flipped on my long range scope and started pelting them with PPC and Gauss fire. Well, he apparently noticed that I had hit one of the mech's gyroes with around 4 PPC shots (my gauss hadn't connected,it's a little slower than a PPC it seems) So he let loose with a whole lot of weaponry that seemed to include every laser weapon known to man. He killed the mech, and overheated, and died to the other mech who hid behind him from me and shot his leg 50 times while he was waiting for his mech to cool down and restart. bleh, at least it was an even trade.
I moved into the city now, some of the streets were too small for my mech to navigate. That was bad. There was a very small very fast mech that escaped me several times in the first few moments before he popped out in front of me on accident and took Gauss, double PPC, Flame thrower, and shotgun cannon in the face. He was already damaged and crumpled up from the onslaught.unfortunately, he also shot me in the leg with around 4 medium lasers like 5 times. Then, BAM, I'm hit from behind. I turn around, nothing. My radar says he's there tho. WTF?!
All I see is a building until ZAP! I'm hit again, a PPC and twin lazers cross my vision on a downward angle. WTF?! I look up, there's a bastard on the roof of the building!!?!? I let loose on him, connect with the PPC's and Gause but then he takes to the air with jump jets, hopping from his building to one a little to my left and behind me. I got no jump jets, so..... ya. This would be a losing battle so I rev my mech up to full speed and head for an open square where it's a 3 vs 2 of my team mates battle. It seems like my entire team has MadCat markII's except for me and the other atlas guy. Well, the two MadCat MarkII's are doing ok, moving and turning their torsoe to fire at the 3 opposing mechs (2 of around equal size and 1 10 tons heavier than their MC2's) the Heavy opponent has a Daishi (100 tonner, lighter armor than an atlas but more weapons and speed)He is sitting still and just moving his torsoe to return fire as is one of the 90 tonners with him. Obviously, this makes them sitting targets, however the other 90tonner is headed towards me, trying to come around behind my pals, firing with his torso turned to them while he runs at me. I step out, face his directly, stop dead cold, lower my aim to his gyro, he swirves a bit to keep his line of fire, I adjust my aim, fire, Gyro shot with all my weapons connecting. Now he's all confused, that much force will mess up which way his moving top is facing and get him confused. so I get moving, Behind him, swivel the torso, all weapons ready to fire again, BAM. I missed the gyro, too high. Still, he's all in the read.
Deciding my weapons take too long to recharge I ram him and start pushing him face first towards a building. (my armor is the heaviest in the game on the front, and so I can do this with out disastrous results sometimes)He fires his jump jets as I fire My PPC's. I catch his legs, his jets catch my torso. I get to watch him fly up with one leg and die in the air sorta while I die :o
Jump jets suck! My team mates easily overcome the two sitting ducks while I wait to reappear. Time is getting short now ( I joined the game late) around 3 minutes left. Everything has boiled down to little fire fights and street to street combat. one of my teammates walks down a street and the opponents, in their only gosu action, shoot at him from both end, and then from above when they fly up to the roof after he charges one. In the three minutes I pick up a 1v1 duel with the 100 tonner from before reincarnated. We beat on each other until a team mate of mine shows up and then it's over for him.
I take some friendly fire from the end of that debacle, and the damage from a fight with another heavy added to it, I'm in bad shape. I spend the rest of the battle trying not to die and give another point to them. It works, and the game ends. We win, 10 kills to 6
:o) I didn't do soooooo hot, I only had 1 kill, although I laid a lot of damage down - my team mates always mopped up the kills. Oh wells, as long as u win, neh? |
