I posted this over on the official MWO forum, but tell me how you did standing wise and what mechs you used. Post as follows with link: http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/153917-faction-war-and-scoring/ I am starting this to begin discussing what mechs and tactics you used and how well you placed in your faction. Myself, I placed 53rd in the Merc Corps. Not as high as I wanted, but I could not play much on Sunday and dropped quite a few spots. I peaked on Saturday afternoon in 18th, and went down from there as I didn't have time to keep playing as much Saturday as I had hoped. I used my Cicadas for almost the entire event. CDA-3M: CDA-X5: CDA-3C: Share how you did, and the mechs you ran. I am curious to see if bigger a mech meant bigger score.
I peaked at 12th for Kurita on Saturday and then fell back to 18th on Sunday with a score of 2086 I used my 3L Super Chicken and my 3F Stalker.
First two days I almost exclusively used these two builds, but got tired of LRM spam so Sunday I exclusively ran with a Raven Super Chicken (variation). Had a couple good games in the Jager and Banshee (~4 kills ~6 assists and ~1200 damage). But my best 2 games were in my Raven, both of which were very similar (6 Kills 6 Assists and 1100-1200 damage) both of which I was the last mech left, running for my life, while dividing up the remaining enemy mechs to core them out. 1 was on Canyon Network, the other was on Tera Therma, both were extremely well played games by myself, but also my team.
Brilliant running with that Raven, I have almost the same build, I have less heat sinks for a larger engine and a TAG. I run max engine because I want the speed for using the TAG.
I was pretty high up for Kurita the first day, but then was too busy to put in many games until right before it ended That said, my X5 did all the work for me...had about 20 stellar games in a row where, even though we lost, I did well over 700-800 damage a game. Sadly, it wasn't enough
didn't run Cicadas, because i don't play them often, just for fun purposes. The Mechs which i ran were the followings:
Did better this event. Ran my CDA-X5 more often than not, but also my BLR-1S and my CTF-IM. The X5 was my bread and butter.
