===Orientation=== The [[terrain]] you fight in has a crucial effect on combat, determining lines of sight, bottlenecks, movement speeds, and more. In general: * Large open spaces are dominated by sniper and heavy weapons mechs. They are generally a bad idea to be caught in, as they make flanking easy - not to mention, the enemy Lance can focus fire more effectively. * Forests give you a +25% bonus to cover, as do destroyed buildings. * Roads increase your movement speed, while Rough terrain reduces it and increases Stability damage. * Water and Marshes halve [[heat]] accumulation or stability damage respectively. In general, always look before you move out and choose your terrain wisely. Landing an already heat-resistant mech in a water terrain can turn into a frightening damage dealer, allowing it to fire all of its weapons without overheating too fast. :''Use WASD keys to pan, mousewheel to zoom, and hold R-Mouseβ to freely tumble the camera. Mouse edge-panning is also enabled by default.''
