The guys over at MMORPG.com are giving away beta keys for MechWarrior Online, which is still in closed beta.

You need to create an account with MMORPG to get the key, and then an account with MechWarrior Online to redeem the key and play. Note, there is still an NDA on this thing.

Note, there were about 700 keys left when I got mine, down from 3,000. This link came from reddit, so expect these keys to go quickly.

Since there is still an NDA in effect, I'll just mention that I may or may not have grabbed one of those keys, and that I may or may not be currently downloading the client. There were 655 keys left when I may or may not have signed up, so it you want one, don't wait until morning, they'll probably be gone.

...and I should pay more attention to the Zam homescreen, because I could have saved myself the hassle of signing up for a website that I'll probably never visit again. Anyway, Zam has keys too.

I'm not going to join the beta but you'll have to let me know how it is. MechWarrior is one of my old gaming flames.

I am allowed to say I am in the closed beta because I am a founder. I have been playing for months. A lot. That's all I can say. ;)

They did a big patch tuesday and screwed up the netcode a bit. Ok A lot. Was a corrective patch last night but I have not tried it yet. NDA is lifted now. Open Beta is on the 16th.

Only problem is open beta day is another big patch day with new mechs and a bunch of other goodies. Game was really stable for a long time but we are all a bit worried that with the recent patch problems and a huge influx of new player that the launch of Open Beta could be rough.

Game has a ton of potential but really needs a lobby and the eventual open community warfare planetary conquest to really start to shine. As for beta it's actually really fun just to jump in mechs and blow stuff up like the good old days. My team mostly just pub stomps at this point but we placed second in the open beta tourney (we should have won but we had an off day).

Game is fun enough, but it's going to need a lot more than is currently offered in the beta if it's going to last. That, and heat management needs a serious looking at. Some weapons generate entirely too much heat for the damage they do. Nobody uses PPCs or ER lasers because they are just painfully inefficient. Still, I've put more time into this beta than I have put into full games, so there is plenty of good in there, it just needs tweaking and expanding.

I use PPC's on my dragon, to run a Gauss+2PPC coring combo.

You're doing it wrong then. I have four Medium Pulse lasers that do more damage than your two PPCs, generate less heat, and can be fired more often.

35 Dmg will instantly melt a cockpit, and you can kill at 590 meters. Quad pulse lasers are great to go John Kreese on scouts, but don't have range.

I run quad M. Pulses and 4 streaks on my light/lrm boat sweeper centurion

They've cleaned up the new player experience, and while they don't have nearly as many maps as I'd like, they game actually runs decently now.

I still play a couple hours a week. The lag issues have been dealt with fairly well and the game is much more balanced than it was a few months ago. Though, I wouldn't recommend piloting an Awesome, they tend to get cored unusually easy. It would be nice to see the game expand at some point. I've never heard of a beta taking this long.

Yeah the last patch was a big step in the right direction as far as netcode goes. Some of the things planned for the next month are pretty cool as well such as PPC heat pass, PPC countering ridiculously OP ECM, and 12 v 12's. Game is definitely in eternal beta though.

No lobby, no community warfare yet etc. I took a big break and only recently started playing again, mostly to keep my skills sharp for later.

This is my main issue with it at present. I can deal with it, but that amount of power in 1.5T is a flabbergasting design decision.

I don't mind it so much. I don't use guided weapons so it has no real affect on my game play.

It's not even that, the strategic distortion is immense.

Yeah I could give F all about missiles. It's more about invisible 100 ton atlas packs popping out of thin air and humping your face off. The maps are already small and ECM just increases the odds that any given pug/4 man is going to turn into a cluster F brawl.

I like brawling ok, but the game design atm with the way ECM is set up tends to stack the deck towards that gameplay style. In our 8 mans we have scouts but you can never tell if you will get scouts or not in pick up games.

Plus the fact that ECM stacks so it becomes an arms race for the ravens. 2 ECM will get worked by 3 ECM etc.

That whining aside I've actually gotten pretty used to how it is now. But the PPC changes sound like a fun element even if that does not really balance against a DDC pack holding to cover and popping into exsistence 100 m from you.

The problem is really just the tradeoff involved in taking it is way too low.

If it took a large amount of resources to mount so that it was an actual choice in mounting it or not, or if the ECM chassis were significantly worse in combat situations then it wouldn't be so silly strong.

And they broke the ability to drop against your chosen opponent for tournament play... Most pugs won't care but for competitive teams like mine that were gearing up for the Run Hot Or Die finals it's a bit of a kick in the nuts. Meh.

Hopefully they build a lobby soon and work the kinks out of the new ELO system.
