Mechwarrior 4 The problems with Free Style

This shows some problems with the new free reticule mode. Basically the free reticule mode causes some serious issues in the fact that the torso does not recenter. So in this example I have a beta tester smack me around.

Note, I was one of the best players of mech3, and in this example I am using the exact same configuration I used for mechwarrior 3 with free reticule, it does not work out well.

Note, you can see some of the radar stuff in play, the mech my opponent is in is a full radar suite mech, with full ECM. The trees stop me from seeing him on radar etc...

What are you trying to prove by not fighting back, not avoiding attacks, and basically playing like a stuffed dummy?

Been playing MW4 for years and have no idea what you're complaining about.

Looks to me like you suck. It's called SPACEBAR...hit it to recenter your torso, dipshit.

@Pariah1974

This is not exactly what is being shown. The free ret in this case is me attempting to use a mech3 configuration (tested in mech3 before I went on this). The mech becomes unusable, dodging etc... because of knock and the lack of auto center as implemented. When you play mech3, the auto correction makes it easier.

@Pariah1974 Take a look at the mechwarrior 3 free ret video i have in my channel for comparison.

I played MW4. Never saw you in the MW League. Although I have confirmed there was someone out there with that handle long long ago.

So, you going to try the mod for Crysis? Would be nice if something new for Mech came out.

[buzzlitebeersr]

Absolutely, I did not play in MWLeague. When I did play mw4 competitively it was in MW4 Vengeance, a LONG time ago.

I have also maintained an active role in testing mektek mech packs. The goal of this video was to run a mw3 config in mech4 and see what it would do when using freestyle reticule, something I am particularly good at. I did test by launching mech3 and running around to make sure it wasn't just faulty memory. I may post a youtube vid of it.

[gds0117]

Don't see the problem either. That build was pretty weak, small wonder you got fragged.

You say you were once of the best in MW3, but never saw this handle in MW League.

[buzzlitebeersr]

The mech config wasnt the issue, it was the controlling of it. If you played MW3 with mouse/keyboard you would see right away the differences. (IE the head does not bobble back to center etc..).

I was good at mech3, and the "one of the best" moniker was earned (IE not just stated) I won 7 out of 10 of the for money mw3 tourneys held before mw3 meltdown tourney, and won motorcycles during the main tourney against a large field of individuals who wanted to win those motorcycles instead of me.

OMG I'M SO SORRY!!! I thought you were criticizing his mod! You're criticizing WHY he made the mod! ok, so sorry! P.S. although, it's kinda tempting to see how the game would be changed by that! :) Respect acknowledged!

[Pariah1974]

@1sidsquid lmao!

What are you? Some kind of gaming hipster? No, I haven't heard of Minecraft. Only you in your secret clan of cool people (and the fucking Lego corporation) have heard of Minecraft.

And sure, people mod all the time. What they don't do is complain about the controls because they weren't like the previous game, and mod them rather than learn the new game.

Have I heard of Minecraft..lmao. Ever hear of Angry Birds?! BUWAHAHAHAHA!!

Dipshit.

@Pariah1974

I never said you couldn't. and btw y'ever hear of minecraft?(probably haven't).People mod the game to make it more enjoyable. I bet this guy could kick yours to Russia and back.

[Pariah1974]

@1sidsquid @1sidsquid How do you know I can't? You don't know who I am.

But I didn't need to, because I'm not a fucking baby. I learn to play the game, and don't mod it because I'm not as good at it as I think I should be.

Still crybaby shit, whether he can program or not. I've played MW3 and 4 and neither set of controls bothered me. Get over it, it's not worth a mod.

[1sidsquid]

@Pariah1974

He was simply trying to mod the game to make it suit his combat style. I bet he played PDG without the mod. And besides, i'd like to see you mod the game to that extent.

[Pariah1974]

@1sidsquid So?

So the mech's drive different than MW3? Big effing deal?! I played both and never had a problem switching over.

It's crybaby shit about a game that was old when he posted the video. Get over it and play.

@Pariah1974

what he means is that when you take an ac 20 to your torso, it usually brings your nose to where ever it was before you got hit.

[mysticalpotato86]

Looks dumb, the arms arent moving where the reticule is, lasers and ppcs just firing out sideways, rather than in a straight line from the barrel. I've encountered it in standard build too, but since you are more or less pointing your whole torso at the enemy, its unnoticeable.

[mwhighlander]

Its easier to just use a gamepad and aim with standard config imo. The time it takes apparently to line up a shot, strafe, avoid damage to your CT... just seems counter-intuitive.

Lol^^ mais tu te fais canarder quand même ^^
