Because, this thread is too good to be this far down:

The reason there are no beta keys yet is that the devs made a bet with our e-mail providers that they could increase the number of e-mail checking actions by 9000%.

All the people who've asked, "Whar's ma BETA!!??!!!!1!!" will get their keys first; but they will be for World of Warplanes.

To minimize confusion, melee weapons such as the Axman's ax will be replaced with brightly colored plastic squeaky mallets.

If one team does not fire on or ram the other team, and the other team does, then regardless of results the match the passive team is granted a "Passive Resistance Win". PRWs drive the other team's faction off the contested planet and send them into a socioeconomic collapse while immortalizing the PRWing team as faction heroes.

Clans will be playable factions; but in an attempt to attract a wider fan base, the traditional clan names will be replaced with “I Can Haz Cheezburger?” character names. Clan Socially Awkward Penguin, Clan Long Cat, and Clan Insanity Wolf are expected to be real crowd pleasers.

More inception ‘mechs will be added, including:
M4-R10:

• Class: Light
  
• Armament: Flamers, only flamers
  
• Jump jets: Yes

Special notes:

• Turns into a medium ‘mech after touching mushrooms, but shrinks back after being shot.
  
• If it lands on top of another ‘mech after firing its jump jets, it gets another jump for no extra heat.
  
• Landing on another ‘mech forces the other mech into a powered down state.
  
• Landing on a powered down ‘mech causes the powered down ‘mech to shoot off at high speed.
  
• May have combo abilities with the planned Y0-SH1 ‘mech.

G0RDN-FR33MN:

• Class: Assault
  
• Armament: Anything and everything.
  
• Jump jets: Yes

Special notes:

• Disables voice chat while being played.
  
• May carry as more weapons than would seem possible.
  
• Weapon weight has no effect on its move speed.
  
• After winning a match, it may take a very long time before returning to the ‘mech bay.

Just because it needs to be said again

lol, I'm flattered xD

People who purchase the Inception back will have the option to have (instead of hula girl) a win button. Because some how... some way.. on some form or other. Buying a battlemech = win despite the fact an Atlas is an Altas is an Atlas is an Atlas. Now its an Atlas with a win button.

Due to MW:O and the closed beta... Stock for Keyboard manufacturers will rise purely on the surge in replacement F5 keys.

The giant yellow sign that says 'Pending' is a ploy. D: They are trying to get people to stare at it, at which point the 'Pending' sign will slowly start to flicker in 1 and 0 patterns to brain wash you! Its all Paul's evil plan!

[Solis Obscuri]

I hear, and obey.

If you complete a mechs tech tree you unlike the all gold skin.
If you keep saying supercalifragisexy over and over again you will be invulnerable.
Also if you say Iseenfireandiseenrain you will have unlimited ammo.

Sadly thats all of the cheat codes from mechwarrior 2 mercs that I can remember.

[El Loco]

Due to a tiny mistake the devs won't send out 1000 initial Closed Beta invites, but 100000.

[Adrienne Vorton]

.Poeple who only know Mechwarrior from the "Microsoft Universe" will get their own servers, and the only mech they will get is the Uziel.

I hear speculation that to continue to invigorate the reboot campaign for the Mechwarrior Franchise, PGI will be incorporating elements from Japanese anime to include:

• Doe eyed characters with short skirts and flowered undies.
  
• Male protagonists that are dripping with angst and inner turmoil.
  
• disproportionately large swords.
  
• Little cute alien sidekicks
  
• Lastly... All Mechs will be given fully articulating hands.

Oh, and... As a result of public outcry, all Mechs will not only be able to side-step but through an unprecedented agreement with Microsoft, we will be able to, via Kinect support, be played in Dance Dance Evolution.

Very accurate, however you left out several important details;

• Beam Swords (to go with the fully articulating hands)
  
• Weapons of Planetary Destruction (because no conflict is complete without something capable of destroying everything)
  
• Magical Familiars (every pilot needs a mascot, right?)
  
• Bullet Time (an atlas will be capable of dodging a laser at 0.5 km)

I think we covered it all right?

*gives CPR TO HIS THREAD!*

I think NubNub is actually IN the beta.. his whole banning as well as Prosperityparks is all a ploy by PGI to cover that they were successfully blackmailed by the two go gain untold richesa nd beta access.

Apparently, if you Post less than your previous daily average, as of the Beta Key deployment, you are in the Beta. Whoohoo! Oh wait...

You remind me of the.....

I spec-late that upon launch we will all play all games all the time under the inescapable paranoia that PGI's Devs are watching, watching... always watching..

Oh no... I'm not stepping into that labyrinth.

[Arioch]

Well I for one never speculate.

BUT if I did:

In game clothing for mechs from the store! New custom cloaks released every month and cool hats with feathers in them and mech sized sneekers with secret pockets of compressed flubber that let you jump without jump jets.

Oh and a founders unicorn mech with a jellybean autocannon!

Certain actions will be available through the in game chat menu, such as:

"taunt_[taunt type]" - Broadcasts a taunt to the other team. "Faction" taunts make fun of the other team's faction, such as FRR's love of suspicios cheeses, various going ons of the nobles, telling mercs where to find treasure on the battlefield, and pointing out sacred relics to the Clanners. "Class" taunts depend on the weight class of the taunting mech. Assault 'mechs will say things like "I can barely see you!" and "Be carefull, I might step on you!"; and light 'mechs will say "How's the weather up there?" and "Don't mind me, I'm just admiring your rear hull!"

"teamwork_go_[player name]" - Only available in assault 'mechs with a full hand. If [player name] is close and in a light 'mech, your 'mech picks him up and chucks him high and wide.

"trout_[player name]" - If [player name] is within a short distance, your 'mech pulls out a plasma trout and swats him viggorously.

"grim_trophy_get" - This command makes the user's mech bend down and rip the "head" off a fallen enemy mech, turning it into a persistent hat.
