My very main is Raider, just love them (I have like 8 for now ... and growing) sometimes G2 Raider, for the lulz. Also I play assault sometimes, infil, scout. My goal is to play as a decent SS now, haha ... -_-.
I'm open for deathmatches btw, I hardly do it and I'm getting bored of TDM.

After much trial and error, I've found that I main best with Vulcan Vanguard. I only main 1 mech at a time, I like to try and be the best i can be with that 1 mech and to learn how to use it effectively in a wide variety of circumstances. So I try not to deviate too much. though sometimes i just cant help having a quick blast with an EOC inf... :ph34r:

Assault - "Spanky"
Reaper - "Annie"
Brawler - "Tiger-Tiger"

Pretty much in that order...

3 mechs, depending on my mood for the day. I play mostly B and C class mechs.

1. Assault = all-purpose
2. Predator = for fun
3. A c-class mech, depending on how I feel. Lately I've been fooling around a bit with the Rocketeer for the lulz, since I had it sitting in my garage for the longest time. But I usually rotate amongst Brawler, Incinerator and Vanguard for my c-class needs.

I like them all.
1 - Sharpshooter - One shot, Two kills
2 - Berserker - fuzzy bunny Slap
3 - Grenadier - Alice
4 - Fred - FNG
5 - Reaper - Vigalante
Been playing a long time and have 3 of all the mechs, one set is loaded out for tdm, 2nd set for siege, and third misc.
All mechs were purchased with HC earned the hard way.... grinding it out :/

PPA Incinerator, Vulcan Gren and AR Salt all for the same role; assaulting.
I use my Predator and Reflak Raider about the same, but less often.

Flak/Heat Scout, Heat/EOC Infiltrator, RPR Tech.

I also use G2Raidhurr.

Yeah, I like lemons.

Raider is my main-main, but I used to play 'zerker and Infie before that.
Nowadays my alternatives are Vanguard and Brawler, since I find all Light mechs far too squishy in my slow, retarded hands.

Lately been switching back and forth between infiltrator and predator. When I feel lazy and want to poke from afar I'll use my reaper

In the past used to switch out mechs to the G2A or SS and even the rocketeer and G2R but then I decided to make one mech that could handle every situation and went with the predator, haven't look back every since.

i pick a near random one every death save for the g2 raider and not a big fan of grenadier not a big fan of bruiser

i get bored easily and we usualy dont have teamwork so not realy pressed to fulfil specific roles

its the equipment each carry i hone and only adjust every few days

Edited by MechFighter5e3bf9, August 12 2014 - 05:05 AM.

i don't mean any of it

I'm sticking to my faithful Ninja (Infil) lately, but I'm always rotating betwen him and the Assassin (Pred). I pretty much suck at any other mech at the moment, probably because I drive the two mentioned above too much. :P

i have six scouts... does that still count as 1_  I also do well in inf and van, and stay away from all the sustained fire weapons and pred - cause they are too easy and the playstyle is boring to me.

I main 1 mech at a time.
The Fred was my favourite for a looooooooooooooooooooooong time (till I maxed it out =(   ).
Then I used the Assault to earn enough HC for my Incin and I have been using it ever since. I find it difficult to adjust with other mechs now as I am used to firing forever on my Incin without overheating. I son't use me Fred anymore but i use it when i am having a really bad time.

I use all my mechs when I am desperate to stay alive in the field!!
