I was just doing some reading in a pinned thread and found this:

Q: Sign an NDA? Does that mean I can't buy one if I am not 18 years or older?
A: Yes, there is a possibility this could happen. But hold on tight for more information on this aspect, since it is possible that the NDA will be dropped after the 7th August.


It would be kinda silly to be able to buy the package and then be told that you can't use it on Aug 7th if you can't sign the NDA. I'm curious how they're going to work this.

£38 for Elite...until the inevitable taxman violation of my hind regions :D

I love that the US has an awful currency, but I hate that my govermnet is made up entirely of thieves.
All in all, balances out.

Role warfare. A large part of the development and design has been devoted to making sure there is no inherent advantage to playing assault vs light mech apart from play style. Light mechs will get their income from spotting and providing eyes for long range fire, while Assault will gain more from actual damage. Also, this isn't World of Tanks, the scout will pack the same weapons as a Assault, assuming it can fit them, so there is no reason to assume it can't hurt you.



Hugh difference in WoT and here for abilty to damage
A T1 tank migh slow down a T10 by running under its tracks (or shooting them
But as the T10 kills all the big target Boo 1 shot and T1 is dead

Here
A light can (as above) pack a PPC or guass rifle, or enough small lasers to just ruin your day
In MW4 I use to kill heavies all the time in a light
They where ot fast enough to track me.. most of the time
Then i would respawn...
Which should not happen here from what I have seen

Lights are going to be VERY specialy run mechs
but in real team matches where you have 12 v 12 of team players from the same clan
1-2 scout will be priceless ( if they know how to use them)
Meds wil take the place of a lot of general scout duties
But for sheer speed to bypass mechs and take the cap lights all the way

Does it really matter? It's not like you can do anything for at least another month. Take a deep breath and chillax. All this stress your passing on is going to give me a heart attack.

I would also like to see, how is handled difference in founders mechs. If they make Founders Janner to be equivalent of Founders Atlas?

Bigger c-bill bonus? Another different advantage?


Well aside from same weapons (w/ in weight limits) and the obvious speed advantage. They talked about rotation, torso twist speed, and twist limits. So a good light mech pilot should be able to hide in the blind spots of a bigger slower mech... Untill they are hit with an ambush.

they will still be sending closed beta invites out

if you still don't get any of those, then it's aug 7 for you. a long wait, i know, but hopefully a lot more people get invited to the closed beta between now and then!

Nice! Well, at least I'll be able to do this at work rather than at home while I get ready for work since I had planned on being up by 4am PST just-in-case they went by EST instead of PST.
