    Is anyone in the Mechwarrior Online open beta?

    It looks good to me. I've never played any of this series. Shooting large, hulking metal mech robots might be satisfying, if a little simplistic. What do you think?

    I've been in the MWO beta for a few months now but couldn't talk about even being in said beta due to the rather strict NDA. Now that it's in open beta I can talk about it a little bit.

    The game is awesome.

    It's pretty impressive, lumbering about in those giant tin cans, dispensing death and destruction. The environments are great, ditto sound and visual design.

    It's surprisingly difficult to get used to because the controls are unique (I play with mouse and keyboard, is joystick even enabled yet?) and I'm finding all the stats a bit of a chore to stay on top of. It seems to me that the game is a form of rock-paper-scissors in which, to win, you need to master spreadsheets-worth of weapon damage and defenses data. This seems a bit tedious to me but I will soldier on in the hope that it becomes less like homework.

    Phew this beta is crazy! Never played anything of this type before. Can see it being very addictive.

    I got the Hawken invite a while back, but never installed due to being busy. Based on that review, I think I will prefer MWO, but I guess I will wait and see.

    I like the Hawken beta more. That's all I can say at this point.

    2+ month bump but I've noticed two months is a long time in this game.

    Anybody playing this? I just picked it up yesterday and I'm having a blast even though I'm getting whomped super hard.

    We should start friending each other and stuff.
