Yay we got Zerion online and playing and he is a good pilot.

[Dunnardel]

Andrew also got smoked by me in a flea, flamers FTW!! Had a blast tonight playing, was like old times on BZ. Great way to kill time while waiting for MWO

[Holmes]

Wait, so this is completely free, even MW4? I will totally hook up my X52 and join you guys sometime.

[Frantic Pryde]

Good playing with you all! Its cool to play Mw4 with the future MWO crowd...all our alliances and rivalries will already be set lol.

[Adridos]

I would play, but it would be an assault slug fest with all Clan mechs. I will rather play MW:LL.

[Hunter McGee]

Garth,

Strap your neurohelmet on and climb in a Mech and come on in

If it was that I wouldn't be posting that I had a good time

There's a good even mix of things. Mostly heavy and mediums. We have even dropped for a few stock games!

[Jaroth Corbett]

If you guys are on tonight, I will be available to play.

Nice to know that, but seeing that I don't have MW4:mercs right now, I had problems trying to run it with those MekTek thingies and the fact I never playied it online will surely punch me right into the face. Maybe I'll try it someday, though.
