Exactly what it says on the tin. I'm curious as to how people like their giant robots...Discuss!

My favorite seems to be the Beserker. I love the extra speed and mobility of the lighter mechs combined with the weaponry and damage buffing ability; it makes me feel like I'm driving a much less clunky machine and lets me flank opponents. It feels so satisfying to beat a heavy mech in 1v1.

Now if only mechs didn't lose all their acceleration after lightly tapping a corner of that random hot-dog stand that just so happens to be exactly in the wrong place at the wrong time...

Infiltrator.
Because high mobility coupled with extreme burst damage at close to medium ranges and the ability to cloak isn't at all loleasy.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Nothing like running up to a heavy and making his head spin.

The current line-up is nothing special, although the Assault is nice and the Infiltrator is closest to what I ran before. In an ideal world where I could cherry-pick, I'd run an A with Vulcan/TOW/Coolant, but that's not happening any time soon...

It was fun while it lasted.

haha that would be really powerful. Although I would love to have it, I really think they should keep the vulcan off of the A chassis.

For this Beta, Infiltrator. Sharpshooter has been moving up in my list of preferred mechs quite quickly though. I'm not too fond of the Infil's ability especially since you're still on radar anyway but it's all good with AR+GL.

Assault is a jack of all trades sort of mech, and its easily the most well rounded and effective in the largest variety of situations.

Also, it looks like someone bolted legs and guns to a TV. That's definitely a plus in my book.

I've only really used the Sharpshooter and Brawler, and I am more of a brawler person. Its not fat enough that its crippling, move smartly and utilize cover and I can still dodge well. But I can press my close range advantage and scrap most people face to face.

Maybe its just the lights I've been fighting, but I really don't have much trouble smashing them despite their supposed better mobility.

Though turret mode sucks though. Especially for a brawler. The heck's a stationary mech with a Flak gun gonna do anyway?

Infiltrator. Produces heavy doses of sicknasty with lots of mobility.

Even made a thread about it http://community.pla...lds/#entry77325

I love Rocketeer. Feels great to land a successful volley of Hellfires, love the visuals of that swarm and unique nature of that weapon (especially when someone runs away to the cover and your rockets follow him around the corner). Oh, and the main reason is, I suck immeasurably at aiming, so playing other mechs is quite a disaster for my team. I'd rather drop a turret and fire a volley at that guy in the distance, possibly taking 100hp from him, or something, than provide nonstop easy kills for someone while playing Sharpshooter. I can probably hit something with AR, but I literally can't remember one time I managed to land a SABOT or EOC round on someone.

Duh.

During Alpha 2 the Infiltrator was roxor boxor.

Infiltrator is horrible now.

Brawler takes the lead.

If you enjoyed the infiltrator in alpha, you should try it with the heat cannon in beta.

It's such a shame. I rarely ever see Berserkers, it's always Assault, Sharpshooter, or Infiltrator. I feel like they're one of the best classes to capitalize on the chaos of deathmatch.
