so, when is the release date?

[Joe Mallad]

I really hope that they will allow for salvage. For example, if my unit which will be Kurita based runs into a Lio unit and I get a kill, Id hope that id be able to get some salvage from that kill if not a full mech. It would be great to run into that same Lio unit again just to be piloting the salvaged mech with a new frech paint job and be able to hear the enemy squads comments when they see their once glorious mech now being piloted by their enemy. lol

The release date at the current time is TBD, however they are shooting for a Summer 2012 Open Beta release. As of now, however, it is currently in its in-house beta stage.

Lets hope for the best... the rest of the online gaming world is looking terrible at the moment and I hope this can hit that "spot"

[midgetmormon]

A Big Thank you Kaemon for the time and effort to put this together.

Community members like yourself...just make it all the more gratifying to be a part.

+10 for you.

I must agree, after playing living legends I am looking forward to the game.

Ask the devs and weekly screenshot threads added (will clean up the placement later tonight).

Hello! I have been playing mechwarriors since 1994. I have been members of the 44th drakons and a Star Colonel of Clan Widowmaker. I play table top when i can find i high enough concentration of uber nerds.

im here to announce that i want to be part of the beta test, and also to announce my new mercenary unit, which I will lead, keeping my rank of Colonel. The unit will be the 42nd Sworn Company.

How can I download this game?

Hi all, new in here.
Its great to see Mw still alive and kicking . Was a big fan of MW3 and 4 so cant wait to have a good go at this one, and see you in the hot seat.

Ok, I am not new to Mechwarrior if you count the SNES game or the games made for the Xbox. As for table top gamming I am an old school AD&D player and a long standing RPGA member. I know, (GEEK) but I looked this up and watched the video with my best friend who is a VERY VERY big fan of Mechwarrior. This guy has just about every BattleTech book ever written. He is tuttering me so when this goes live, I will be ready. I used to play Lone Wolf on the Xbox and on Live, but I am bord with it. No challenge anymore. I have a love of combat and found this Free to Play Tank fighting game, but I like futuristic warfare.

If anyone wants to know what kind of gammer I am, I am the only person I know of to ever lock up Pacman for the atari 2600. To lock it up you have to run out of room for score on the screen which is supposed to be impossable. I sat down and on a very lucky game of asteroids played for eight hours without dying once. Not a huge deal. I have no real life outside work, kids, wife, and video games. Sad you might say........ Nah, Games are far better then day to day drama of watching TV shows and dealing with crowds of real people to judge my fat ugly butt.

Now I have a list of questions to ask and I know I might not like the answers

1. I read this is to be free to play, but are there any plans to have pay content?
2. is there a plan to do storyline as well as multiplayer?
3. Can I be a beta tester?

look forward to the summer beta release.

[Howling Mad Murdock]

Great Post, looke like there is a lot of info for the likes of me..which I will shortly start to work my way through......I played a lot of Mech Warrior over the years (even the board game...Battletech too) Really can't wait for the Open Beta to start in the summer!

I guess the only thing that's missing in this game will be the smell of the citadel paint and dry brushing my Mech for that weathered look

[Kaemon]

move social media links higher up in OP (because of the Twitterchats), Moved Ask the Dev to Dev Blogs, moved Ask the Dev answers to Dev Q&A (since they will be replacing those for a bit it seems).

Moved Weekly screenshots to Misc. Announcements (they keep deleting the IGN movies thread, if we can get one to stick I'll put it here) and removed a few older Popular Forum Threads to make some room (sorry Aegis!).

[Ethicus]

Thanks for an easy to understand compilation of all this info

[Snoopmyelf]

Can't Wait for this game to come out, Played this as a kid on my old PC and now times have changed... Glad to see so many people are still into this as well!

[Notch]

Yay! Now I know what to do
