I haven't heard anybody saying if they like the game. I need to make a system that will play it first.

Do people like it? What is it similar to? Having fun?

I liked the game enough to buy a Legendary Founders pack......BEFORE I'D EVEN PLAYED IT!

[Johnny Reb]

Short answer YES!

[LordPrissyPants]

I have no words. ?

[Crankwerk]

Well it's in closed beta, its an NDA in effect, hence none of us in it will risk breaking that NDA to loose playtime "wink,wink"

[Johnny Reb]

Last time I checked saying I like the game is not breaking the NDA.

What is fun and how do I obtain it?

Take a leap of faith and get in on one of the founders pack. It's what I did in going with Legendary.

Other than that.....

If you love Mechwarrior, then you should love this game.

NON Disclosure Agreement. Which means "No, I can't tell you if I'm playing it, so I can't tell you if I like it." It's similar to Mechwarriors 1-4, in that it involves mechs, and Crysis in that it involves the CryEngine game engine.

And yes, if you play games, you need to build a system that can run this level- even if this isn't the one you play. They don't get any less complex as time moves forward.

No founders can now say they are in! only non founders can't, read an announcement or 2!

I am part of the Founders program and will say no more about MWO.

on a wholly seperate note,

I recently ended 5 years of making excuses and spent $140 on a video card,

I replaced my office chair as the older one became uncomfortable after sitting in in for more than 3-4 hours at a time,

My Wife recently complained that she was having unpleasant deja vu of "the WOW years"

Draw what conclusions you will so long as it is readily clear that I am not confirming nor am I denying anything other than my sudden
shocking interest in tuning up my computer and making my office more comfortable to occupy for a protracted period of time.

the preceding statement is not intended to state or imply membership or participation in any open beta of any game ever.
furthermore Suave denies not only the existential implications of the MWO Closed beta, but quite possibly his own existence.
Suave may very very well be a "Butterfly's Dream" or some nonsense like that. Suave contains an unknown glowing substance
that feel to earth, presumably from outer space. Do Not Taunt Suave. Marcosuave, Blancosuave, Suavelives and Suavenatrix

I recently discovered a co-worker HAS played this game. He wouldn't say much, not because of an NDA but rather implied he lost excitement and stopped playing. Not great and not much there, allegedly.

I'm looking forward to judge it for myself.


NDA = you're aren't / weren't allowed to say if you've played or if you like the game, dislike the game? Gimme a break. There's no contract in the world that could ever enforce anything as ridiculous as that. NDA on a Beta test is more of an honour system. Everyone here keeps talking this NDA like it's Constitutional, legal binding, 10 Commandments.

The NDA described here at MWO at soooo tight lipped makes me think there's something to hide like early reviews.

This is one of the major reasons why there is an NDA.. because one person's limited knowledge of the game does not constitute the whole. A beta is an unfinished piece of work.. sometimes things aren't as good as you expected in a beta because.. it's a beta. Sometimes things don't work like you think they should in a beta.. because it is a beta.

That's because it IS a legally binding contract.

[MuffinTop]

I love this game, as much as all the girls on your facebook love you. Naaaahhhhh thats a bad comparison.....meeehhhHHHH

[Oto Kanon]

I think that this thread is just waiting for beta testers to break their NDA. Like everyone else, you'll have to rely on the gameplay videos released (and there are many) including the latest NVIDIA community day tournament (to see actual people playing it) to decide. If you are still unsure or are not that big of a Mechwarrior/Battletech fan, then you can always wait until Open Beta and try the game for free.

If you're a mechwarrior nut then get the cheapest founder pack and give it a go. If not just wait for open beta and make your decision then.
