I wanted to make a fresh thread specifically for this game since it will be released this summer. For those that have not seen, here are some gameplay videos previewing the different types of mechs as well as a general preview.

Do you know that definitively? I haven't heard any current news on it other than some recent gameplay footage.

Well, I should have said summer instead. Thats soonish depending the on the month. They stated it in the preview video.

Very nice play videos. I wonder often people will bother to run the default builds. Most of the fun in Tabletop was to kit the system out the way you like it.

Doesn't matter, has Mechs.

Ok was reading their forums, and found this post.

Currently game is in Friends & Family Beta since the beginning April.

Open Beta is (Summer 2012)

Dan Stapleton just wrote a great preview that sheds some light on a couple things.

The core rule books for the Battletech tabletop game that both Mechwarrior Online and Mechwarrior Tactics are based on are currently on sale at drivethrurpg.com for $15 each (Usual $39.90).

Battletech: Total Warfare - Main rule set

Battletech:Techmanual - Main Mech construction ruleset

Battletech: Tactical Operations - Advanced ruleset for onplanet ops such as weather, terrain and support vehicles/structures

Battletech: Strategic Operations - Advanced ruleset for aerospace ops, maintenance and salvage

I'm thinking of picking these up to get ready for when the games come out (especially the TechManual), and because I never actually owned a set of the rules even after spending hours playing the game with friends.

Wow, mechlab looks pretty great:

Cool bit from that movie. When you put ammo in a slot, it makes that slot vulnerable when armor is destroyed. If the armor is destroyed and the ammo in that slot it hit, it will explode.

Thats awesome.

That is pretty standard for all the mechwarrior games or at least 2-3 and their expansions.

There was also a feature where destroyed regions made adjacent regions more vulnerable. So if I destroy the left arm, I can keep pounding that arm to cause internal damage to the left torso.

I dont remember that in M4 so maybe I was just oblivious. It's great that they are keeping things to form.

So, go sign up!

Sweet! I didn't realize there was another thread for the game and wouldn't have noticed the beta signup. This is one beta that I would love to try.

Tagging & signed up.

It was disconcerting how often it asked if he wanted to buy something in that mech lab video.

Dumbest. Hunchback Refit. Evar.

Thanks for that tip Tkyl. I played it in the main post. I can't wait to play this.

Beta invites are suposed to be going out about now.
Anyone, anyone.... Beuler.

it let me apply but its not letting me keep the info i post on my profile. I'm still 0/23.

Edit: It works with IE but not with Firefox

You should go back to their site, and check your profile, there is a beta survey you need to fill out that I missed. Hopefully I still get in the beta now that I've filled it out.

I had the same issue. I wonder if they added that later.

Yeah, I'm not sure whether they added it later, or I just missed it.

Gosh darnit... you guys just reminded me that I forgot to fully complete the beta profile when I got home that day. Ah well, it's done now.

I'm at 96% complete on their survey. No idea what else is left.
