Although from what I remember in the good ol' days, EM effects didn't involve anything other than a hud scattering effect and mabey a few sensors blanking out for a couple of seconds.
What really was a bitch was heat effects, shutting your mech down to cool down
I remember in MW3 when I was feeling particuarly devious, I would turn on the cheats excepts god mode, jump in "Wave Reinforcements" mode, and proceeed to spontaniously-explode an army of Bushwackers with 12 flamers on a Diashi
I always liked how in MW3 when you overheated past a critical point you mech would explode in a very nuclear-ish fasion.
I use to love getting in a supernova and firing all my large lasers at once and exploding.
What's particularly fun is slapping about 20 SRM6's on a mech with infinite ammo+no heat enabled, and just blasting them at other mechs... not only would it always produce a crater but all mechs within like... 50 meters of the blast would trip and fall down
Back in the MW3 days.. when I played STOCK alot.
I was in charge of training my squad.
When it came the Madcat_Pri config.. the main thing I stressed was the use of LRM's.
In a up close battle LRM's were not really good.
Unless of course you knew how to shoot them very well.
The main thing I taught with them, while up close, was how to knock someone down.
I seem to remember alot of people getting mad when I did this... but oh well.
I always shot them atleast once before they got up. If you don't like it.. Don't get close to me
