I have been playing this game CONSISTENTLY since closed beta 14 months ago. What makes it truly fun is the community. Playing the game solo doesn't even come close to comparing with the experience of playing in coordinated matches with other players. The best place to get started is in this public TeamSpeak server: na1.mech-connect.net I urge all those interested in the game to drop by tomorrow evening (Tuesday Sept. 17th) to participate in this community driven launch event. We will also be hosting training channels to help with mech piloting and building. While I do love the genre, I have never been captivated by a PvP game or MMO to this level ever! Not even a previous MechWarrior franchise. The reason why? It strikes a nice balance between FPS and Sim in that you can customize your Mechs, play with skill and strategy, out-think opponents (yes, all real life opponents), and there is a steady stream of new content and weapon balance changes as time goes. The game is not perfect, but the developers are on track to deliver loads of new content and Community Warfare (the official product's endgame) is not too far away. In the meantime, hardcore and semi-hardcore players have player run leagues to satisfy their competitive urges. Don't listen to the hate. Experience it for yourself.
