MechWarrior Online

US Closed Beta goes live tomorrow. If you're interested, get to your MWO profile, login and get to the Beta tab and get your system checked.

[Steven :D]

What faction are you joining?

[irondeity]

Not entirely sure just yet.

KILL ALL THE CLANNERS

I actually haven't kept up to date on this ever since the Mechwarrior reboot died. I know MWO is the same people changing the concept, is it still going to be set in 3015 before the Clan invasion? If so

KILL ALL THE KURITA because fuck them.

[irondeity]

3048 was the year at the 2011 reveal. 3049 will be the year on launch.

[Paintcheck]

So the Clans will be coming. 

KILL ALL THE CLANNERS

[Khorn]

I'm hoping to hook my Steel Battalion controller up for this.

I got it working in Mechwarrior 4.

[irondeity]

Khorn has a SB controller. Iron is impressed and unamused at this feat :| AKA: Do want.

Saitek x52 for the win

Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries OST: Exodus

Speaks for itself.

In such, I challenge any Freebirth among you to Zellbrigen. May your honor hold fast.

[irondeity]

Venerable, iconic, feared.

The Clans shall prevail.

Flipping through the manual that Mechwarrior 4 Vengeance came with, how come no company does manuals like this any more? It's like 80 pages of in-character descriptions of all the weapons and mechs in the game. I then looked at my Crimson Skies manual, which is laid out like a comic book (also entirely in-character) and my Combat Flight Simulator manual which is about 300 pages of the same.

I blame console kiddies.

Also, Uziel because fuck yeah



EDIT: Shit the Uziel may not have been around in 3049.
