I seriously hope the Colossus gets the rocket pods back.

Our old lance's accolades speak for themselves, so we'll leave the first part alone.

Care to wager on this quote? Put your C-bills where your heat sinks are, mechwarrior. Any BFR goes. Team Deathmatch. Public Test Server, second day of release.

Filmed, of course.

Oh, Of Course. To make it fair, both Lances will get a chance to play with them in advance, just to see how they work. THEN we can see just how good we are. Should this be open to all comers? or just LF and BWC? It would be cool if we turned this into an annual tourney...

Will this be TR s TR or will one of the teams have to choose another empire?

I agree. That's why I went with second day, if not even third or fourth.

Right now, just our outfits. If it works well, then hey. The ULTRA Alliance has already run a TR-Emerald sniper tournament, so the basic groundwork is already set if anyone cares to copy the format. We can do all-comers later. We have to ensure that it's fair though - can't have fifteen on five.

Normally when my outfit does Public-Test-Server matches, we field one team of TR and one team of NC. We have outfits on both empires. I despise the purple and teal get-up of VS, but hey - their BFR looks cool. It's best to do empire vs empire, that way you don't have grief. If you want, we'll come as another empire. No limits on variants or empire-style BFRs. If you want the Collossus, then go as TR - since I issued the challenge, it's fair and feasible that your team gets first choice for colors. I'll probably have a healthy balance of NC, VS, and TR in whatever team colors. Kinda like a Mechwarrior 4 team, no?

Hmmm.... this all sounds a bit silly to me since BFRs are probably going to be a lot easier to use than a mech in Mechwarrior.

I'm not too interested in how much easier or harder they are to use than a battle mech. It's the sheer magnitude of armor and weapons being used in a tactically-sound manner in coordination with other BFRs, rather than a spam-weapon of death at the hands of a No Outfit typical footslogger or member of a portable zerg outfit.

I still think comparing it to how well you people play in the mechwarrior games is sill

That's nice.

Remember all the developer comments about how the people who came up with this idea were all former designers for Mechwarrior projects? Remember how several "mechwarrior authorities" on various forums commented on how much the BFRs looked like specific battle mechs?

Have a nice day.

I'm prowd to announce that the Dragonwolves have already pre-formed our BFR unit, Valor Lance in preperation for the release. I can't speak for my members but I think we'd all be very happy to do battle in this event.

I'm the unit lead, so any official coorespondence for the BFR duels can be sent my way.

Lartnev · 2004-09-20, 02:34 PM

Heh, with the size of the battlemech universe it's unsuprising that the BFRs look like certain battlemechs

But I don't see how that's relevant. I'm beginning to sound miserly now damnit

Another ULTRA outfit getting on board. Maybe we should do an ULTRA versus... oh wait. There is no other TR equivalent.
