Not sure of the interest here but this new game sure does draw on a lot of the old tabletop rules of Battle Tech.

Currently in closed Beta but looking very promising.

it's VERY good.  haven't been getting much sleep lately, been destroying stuff with other DW players over there the last four days.  it's closed beta and it's under a NDA so I'm not sure what I'm allowed to say.  co-operation using voice chat clients ftw, big time.

I don't know about the no joystick stuff, FF.  people using them and footpedals report much success.

$30 usd gets you into the closed beta. strange for a free to play model, I guess they are just getting what they can now easily get from the rabid fanbase.  predictions I've read say it will go open by christmas, but who can say?

I always used to play mechwarrior with a joystick setup, but for this new one, well, try leading a light properly with a joystick, certainly not as easy as just using a mouse. Or when playing a light for that matter.

It works, but it's not as effective, that's what I meant.

I like what I see and played. Graphics engine is very nice and its just darn good to see the IP being used again.

Tracking a light mech should be tough, joystick or no joystick FF. My commando tops out at 140+ KPH and my only saving grace is that noone gets a bead on me. :)

Some nice pics on the gamesite and video footage on youtube out there as well for those who wish to see.

Anybody else playing, just look out for the speedy commando piloted by skurvy.

ok I wrote a long answer then read the NDA again and I'll just say it's very fast.  I don't want to risk getting booted.  There are good videos out there to give you an idea of what it's like.  +

Gotcha, thanks. Fast, but still with a good dose of tactics, then?

It's fast, but mechs are tough, you wont really be one shotting scouts with assaults in most cases anymore, that give you an idea?

But as Tango said, I dont want to break any NDA either so lets just say, Mech fans should look forward to it.

Is it closer to MW3 or 4? I always preferred the former. The feel of the mechs in 3 is just right; I can't explain what I don't like about 4's, but it doesn't feel as good.

I'm the 'other DW player' that Tango's been dropping with, and again with a mind to not reveal specifics, it has strategic elements in how you design your mechs and fit your designs in to compliment those of your teammates, and it's very very tactical.

I'm on there as well. I did not have to buy in, but I chose to upgrade and get a founder mech. I'm not gonna run afoul of the NDA, but I am totally having a blast. This game is my crack right now. I have tried other mechs, but am currently using Jenners exclusively so far. I love trolling larger mechs.
