Tips for a newcomer

[gunslingerkid]

Hi. I'm a Mechwarrior 4 fan and have played it quite alot in singleplayer before I and after I knew what MekTek was. Unfortunately, having downloaded MekTek a couple of days ago and having tried to play multiplayer, I realized I was completely overwhelmed, not only by the amount of "new" mechs but also with customizing my mechs to be more competitive.

Any tips for me to be able to overcome this predicament would be greatly appreciated, be it short or long term solutions.

Besides that, is there any way that meds and heavies still have a role in a predominant assault-class fight? Or should I just try to always use the same class of mechs that everybody's using?

u will see, with experience, that heavy, medium and light can be very good, both HLA and NHUA.

When you play in NHUA No Heat Unlimited ammo...you can strip all your heat sink you don't need them if you have ballistic weapons you don't need to add ammo since it UA....Just play around with Mech configs until you find a style you like to play.....Also don;t get discouraged from all the a holes and jerks out there every Online Video game has them.......From Call of Duty to World of Warcraft.......

I haven't played MW4 Mercs in 6 some odd mouths kinda lost interested, I play about billion other game so I have to pick and choice what to play.....Lasted time I played the mechs people were using were (Gladiator) (Warlord) (SuperNova).....

I never played on NHUA, never, not even in singleplayer. Is that type of game very common on Multiplayer?

I've always liked brawling, that's why I asked about the roles of meds and heavies on predominant assault-class fights; I usually like to use the speed and maneuverability to dodge and use LBX or AC + SRM to give lots of damage close range...but it seems that that's not very effective lol, at least in multiplayer battles..

Thanks for the input.

P.S. Could you guys direct me to other forums that are still active? Mektek forums or Clan forums?
