Game in point: Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries (With Mekpak 2.1a)

Hello all, today i'm going to talk about something that I dislike in Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries. I'm going to talk about the single group of pilots that irritate me the most... Poptarters (AKA: Pastries, Clan =UMPA= ), theres nothing I hate more in a multiplayer server then seeing both teams sitting behind hills, jumping up, firing off a alpha strike consisting of commonly used pop tart weapons (ER PPCs, Light Gauss Rifles, Clan Gauss Rifles, Plasma Cannons, ER Large Laser) and then falling back down behind cover. Usually, in most servers, I am the one you'll see rushing foolhardly at the enemy with my 2 C-LBX20 Summoner (Thor) and eating a massive barrage of artifical lightning bolts and nickel-caldium slugs to my center torso. Now, i'm not whining about this, but as much as I hate this tactic, its a valid one thats been argued and tried over and over again in forums. I do have a few tricks to beat the pastries however. Against them, the Inferno Heavy Rocket Launcher will be your friend, it causes their heat level to go up a LOT on a hit, usually only takes 3 hits to cause them to shutdown, or take a light mech loaded with a ECM and a bunch of Inferno SRM2 launchers, sneak up on the pastries in passive radar mode and then unleash hell on them and laugh as they overheat and shutdown from the missiles.

Till next time game fans.
