Anyway...seeing as how I rarely* see a Templar during multiplayer, I was wondering what people generally put on it.

*always

Heres the only REAL Templar:

2 CLBX20
2 CLBX10
2 HML
Min speed
maxish armor
rest of tonnage to heatsinks

Used this variant against Black Ceasar's Sniping Victor in a 1vs1 on tumbleweed and tore him a new one quite a few times.

And my other one:

2 ERPPC
2 ERLL
2 LGR
JJ's
Min speed
heatsinks and armor to round it all out.



Anyways...what do you guys use on your templar?

Same as your first one, except no heat sinks and 74 kph. If you find it too hot, you can drop one of the hmdl's for an inner sphere medium laser. Another good one removes one clbx10 for jj and a streak 6.

Nailgunn
2 CLBX20+1
1 CLBX10
1 ERLPL
speed is average
JJ

if any of you fight against AC Nailgunn, this is what is on his Templar, I've been hit so many times by this mech, I have the bloody config imprinted on my forehead

Reload
2 RAC5+1
2 LXP
stock everything except armor

this is sorta my fast, knock around mech, I'm not to good with a templar, so I use my weapons to keep em from firing (hopefully )

I usually go with 4 cuac10s in a destruction game. But Templars die too easy through the side torsos, so i usually dont use it. Unless theres an 85 ton limit.

BEWARE THE BASTARD!!!

2 inferno agls
2rac (bah cant remember what ones) or 2lbx10 depending on map

heat 'em up, shut 'em down, blow 'em up, and watch the curses fly!!!

my khan used this on me soooo much it really works

You might wanna try:

4 rac2
1 Hyper2

or

2 Guass rifle
2 Large Lasers
JJ

Ah, the Templar. Truly the coolest mech in the game.

You guys have already posted variants similar to some of mine, but there is at least one more:

The Anti-Sniper Sniper (even before Xi wrote the guide)
+ 4 Light Gauss (providing a 48 point alpha at 1200 meters)
+ Tweaked armor (12.5 tons)

You pay the price of the longe-range firepower in speed and maneuverability (no jj) but the mech can be effective if you keep the range up and your head down. No ECM, but it's not a factor if you are 1000 meters away. I like to find a pop-tart, sit at around 950m, and peg him between the lights when the reticule goes red. The LGs are grouped to fire two and two, and you can put a lot of shells into someone (and generate steady knock) as they try to close.

This mech also works as a hill-hump sniper, but the low firing position of the arm LGs make it a challenge.

So learn to stand sideways, proudly, and pilot the MW4 Mercs poster Mech, the Templar!

a different version of your mech

3 LG
1 PPC
JJ

for a little bit of heat build up and a weapon that has no ammo, a fair deal

4AC10

4LargeX Refl

3LargeX + LT

2LGuass + LT

2 LG, 2 PPC, JJ

Original, I know

My top secret 00ber Templar config:

2 UAC10
2 LXPL
JJ

Puretech and such, I call it 'DrPepper'

Sniper flush

2 rac2 + ammo
2 lbx 20's
JJ's
Everthing else to taste.

Designed to attack and isolate snipers on the outer edge of the frontline, use your cover and Rac em when they pop and finish em point blank.
