if this is beta they wouldn't be releasing one map and hero mech a month like they have set up shop, they should be introducing content.

Honestly probably have had more problems in recent weeks (or played with people who have problems) then playing in Closed Beta...

....with a computer that didn't have the specs to run MWO in the first place...

This is a business and they need to have things to sell. A lot of people seem willing to buy Hero mechs than spend real money on paint jobs and cockpit doodads.

We now have a date for the end of Beta. Hopefully they will make it.

I'd easily agree with this, even when they did the server stress testing they reacted quickly to negative changes (which was a 2 hour long event)

Ahhh.. that explains why they've finally given a "release" window of late summer.

No...this is walking backwards. I can't play any more, the matchmaking had me QQing as it was, now the 1minute black screen when I drop, and ballistics and missiles firing delay getting worse...you broke me PGI, I never thought you would, but you've done it.

There's always a certain amount of humming and hawwing that goes along with treadmill content.

As it is, I don't buy the beta canard, and this latest patch stunk up my experience (which is really quite lovely otherwise).

There was one really bad patch in closed beta (ironically the same time they wanted to push it to open beta). You can thank the closed beta crew for pushing the brakes on that so you didn't have to live through it - MWO would have been hit hard if that was its opening debut to the general public. Since then, there have been a few whoppers get through, and it is very clear that they need a more robust testing department at the very least. Many of the issues I would consider to be 'caught on sight' issues - aka the very first match someone plays they would notice it if they weren't completely uninformed or pants on head ******** (or possibly completely overworked as I suspect the case may be).
