Obsessively redesign your mechs over and over again until you find a way to get that third AC/20 to fit...

I'm currently playing around on the CryEngine 3 Free SDK :unsure: If you make a game good enough on it, and get in contact crytek to let you sell your game, they only take 20% of what you make :P (Not that ill ever be good enough to do this) :/

We might not get an invite come Aug 7th, so I hope you can potentially wait longer!

Founder purchases will indeed get an invite August 7th, it says this on the Founder page. It isn't a gamble, it's a 100% guarantee... unless the world ends before then to the 2012 apocalypse we're suppose to be getting this year.

Play the old games as someone has already suggested. I'm playing Mechcommander at the moment on the Hard difficulty and boy it brings back memories but boy do i suck!

Get started on reading the Battletech books. I'm reading the Blood of Kerensky trilogy at the moment and it's a great read so far! Still, seeing the new videos and screens makes me want to play this game right away!

I am just crossing my fingers that they will let me buy a founders pack, 1 credit card declined, 1 debit/credit enabled declined. A friend offered to buy it for me, both of hers declined. I have no clue why. I am deployed could be my problem.. but not hers. Any ideas? I wait till august 7 with baited breath and hopes and dreams.


I don't know if MWO accepts PayPal, but if so link your card through PayPal and pay that way. I've had a few sites that were stubborn and a bank that is too restrictive. PayPal was the only way I could purchase without headache.

If that happened I wonder how many people would rage as their last thought that they never got to use clan tech in game.

I am struggling to find ways to fill the time until I can be deployed. Sure, there are other games available to help me pass the time and, sure, I have a family and they are nice and all but I need to charge into battle with my lance-mates and destroy all who stand before us!


If your having trouble getting by because a video game hasn't let you start playing yet.. You have more problems then a lack of game dude:)

Do what I'm doing: Go to OshKosh! http://www.airventure.org

By the time I'm back home and things are back to normal, it'll be Founder's Day!

World of Tanks seems to be the most popular free to play alternative to this at the moment


Every match in WoT makes the wait for MWO worse.

That thing is the definition of a glass cannon. Also, they are Ultra AC/20's, so they burn through 4 rounds a turn...and come equipped with a full ten shots. If I remember properly, they are designed to give disgraced clanners an honorable way to die in combat :) - LVD


yes that is true clan mechwarriors fielding the hunchback iic are not expected to return from battle. Still one hell of a way to go given the mammoth dueling devestator cannons, its no wonder it is a prime target.

I'll be playing Call of Duty and Tribes. Pew Pew!

Mechwarrior Online is going to consume a large chunk of my life. I am already stocking up on diet pepsi and asian potstickers. The computer is ready to go. I might get a second 480 GTX but I don't think I will really need it to be honest.
