Anyone playing this game? It just went open beta and is free to play. I've been a pretty big fan since mechwarrior 2 came out back when I was like 9 or whatever in 95. It would be cool to group up with some other zilvian's and own some noobs or get owned by pros haha.


In case you guys don't know what I'm talking about, its a free to play computer game based on the battle tech universe. Here's an open beta trailer:

played it in closed beta... it's another "free" game where you can spend real money to play with "virtual" toys. I was really excited when I got in the beta. Uninstalled it like 10 minutes later. All the cool weapons and mechs were buy.. Surprise people with $200 in mechs were vastly superior than everyone playing on the "free".

I could understand this business model but in beta, it just seemed like they were making money on an unfinished product. Not really able to test things without spending your own money so meh. Graphics look great, not many missions, no real "story". I'm sure people will get into it but unless you're a mech junky looking to replace your WOW account then pass.

what? Closed beta? In closed I had tons of money. maybe you got into it very late. Yea, I did kind of notice that money is a pretty big issue, I don't think they give enough money to players yet but it still is a "beta"
