TRIAL BY FIRE

Trial By Fire is a video series for MechWarrior Online, specifically about testing, evaluating and rating the trial mechs offered in the game.

I've created an entire separate account (Drop Command) that I will never purchase a mech on, nor spend any type of currency on just for the purpose of these videos. Hopefully this will allow me to mimic the new player experience as much as possible.

I've posted it here under Fan Audio / Video section and in the New Player Help section, as this is content aimed primarily at newer players in the community.

Loved the Hunchy episode, hope to see more trials on fire Very interesting to see what stock mechs are capable in right hands.

Really enjoyed the Jagermech video, a stark illustration of just how bad some of the trial mechs are, but also an illustration of how to make the best out of the mech no matter how limited it is.

Should this thread by in the new player forum? It should at least be advertised from there in one of the stickies. New players will really find these videos useful.

Thanks Warner. I double posted here and to the New Player forum. The direct link is in the original post.

Added the Highlander today too.
