You have to go to MWO and fill out the closed beta profile.

They started yesterday and will be inviting 1000 players over the next 7 days.

Of course there will be a NDA.

Good luck

I'm really looking forward to this!

When I was in college, there was a group of us who roadtripped up to Chicago to the BattleTech Center as often as we could to play the pod game.

Definitely need to get an Aces High group put together.

I am FactorlanP on the MWO forums.

We are going to start the FW group which is comprised of a lot of AH players in MWO.  Should be fun.

We have two TS servers and a variety of other assets for the groups use.

Count me in, if you guys don't mind another!  Think the group will go Merc?  Or one of the Houses?

look at the shadows for a visual clue.

Dropships in the background, Catapult walking forward, Stalker in the background behind an atmospheric transport (jet in other words) ..
..and the male security guard is tryin to hit on the lady security guard and she just told him 'No way, sleaze bag' :)

The Cat shape is original game shape destined for Multiplayer Battletech:3025

(http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q260/1grayeagle/GEart/cat_pix.jpg)

One of the many I was in process of building, animating, mapping, texturing, and making damage states for.

(http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q260/1grayeagle/GEart/mechs-ft4.jpg)

..before Microsoft (who had bought the FASA rights halfway through our alpha test phase) ..
..decided to pull the plug on us (I think it was because our stuff looked so much better than theirs did at the time)
..especially in the Unreal game engine we were settin up.

wait for it ..it's at the end of these bits :)

Hey GE, did you ever get a chance to play the pod version of the game at a BattleTech center?  That was some seriously cool stuff for the time.
Title: Re: Mechwarrior Online Beta
Post by: Grayeagle on June 03, 2012, 07:19:18 PM
No, PFactor .. just never had the time-money to find a Pod and have at it.

From all I read about 'em I would have been there all day just jammin for sure :)

As it was, when Dirk the Daring came out I took the family to the local arcade
and told 'em not to bother me for a few hours while I dumped a bucket of quarters into it ..
..I 'get into' video games and ya .. the Pod Mechwarrior thing would have sucked me in big time :)

Oh!  I remember that well!  That was one of the first games that took two quarters to play at the local arcade.  There was a line and a crowd watching for weeks after it first appeared.

bah! Clan. Clan Wolf, Ghost Bear, or the defunct Jade Falcon (preference anyway.)

As long as I can have my 100ton Dashi with twin Gauss Rifles and a pair of LB-10(X) Auto cannons(linked fire) I'm set

Clan endo steel and Ferro Fiberous Armor with Clan Double Heat Sinks and a Clan targeting computer.... Just wish they'd bring back the LAM's....

Still waiting here for invite.

We have a fairly small group of ex AH pilots over in WOT that will probably move over.
I spent some time the last couple of months playing MW4 Mercs getting ready.

Looking hard at founders Pack.

Zexx I don't think your going to see clan stuff anytime soon. I'm sure it will happen eventually though.

Hey, I just had an idea for those of us that haven't got our beta invite yet.


Perhaps some of you should hook up at the MW4: Mercs server. I know the game is littered with hacks, but it would give you a chance to have a little fun while we eagerly anticipate MWO.


Title: Re: Mechwarrior Online Beta
Post by: GScholz on June 15, 2012, 12:39:53 PM
Got in the beta about a week ago. Even with only team death match right now, it's pretty awesome!
Title: Re: Mechwarrior Online Beta
Post by: Melvin on June 15, 2012, 10:06:01 PM
Looks like these are the Minimum System Requirements for MWO:


CPU:
Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66GHz
Athlon II X2 245e
GPU:
GeForce 8800GT
Radeon HD 5600/5700
RAM: 4 GB
OS: Windows Vista 32-bit
DirectX: DX9
HDD Space: 4 GB


Guess I won't be playing after all since I'm still running XP (among other shortcomings). Oh well.

 :(

Back to this...  :airplane:

You can get Windows 7 Home Premium for $99...
Title: Re: Mechwarrior Online Beta
Post by: Melvin on June 16, 2012, 02:03:30 PM
My comp is built for XP.

I haven't got the RAM for 7.

Nor do I have the vid, proc, or anything else for that matter.


I work my buns off for non computer type stuff. Fancy rigs are out of my scope of priorities.


Eventually I'll be up to MWO standards, but I'm not pressing for it.

Talk to some of the Guru's over in the Hardware section of the forum.  Those requirements aren't that extensive.  The CPU, GPU, Motherboard, and OS to run that should only be around 400$ Total if you put it together yourself and you have all the periferals. (Speakers, case, keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc.)

You should be able to save your HD and cd drive and possibly your ram, but 4 Gb of Ram is only around 50$.
If you keep your hard drive you can get the Windows 7 upgrade license for half the cost of a new OS. (99$)

You'd be surprised how good a computer you can build for not all that much money. (Especially compared to buying one from the big sellers.)

The founders mechs are just regular mechs in respect to stats and guns true, but they earn more XP and C-bills per battle than the regular variants.
