this means we must be close to open beta release

[Seviander]

Expect alot of drunk Mech Warriors out tonight running into everything standing.

IT'S PARTY TIME!

only watched the first video but those collisions would have really turned me off if I was someone who was considering playing this game.

[DemaratusRaven]

Does this mean the new graphics upgrade isn't coming out any time soon? Why would you drop the NDA and release sub-par images if it was out soon?

[Angel Dust]

Great that the NDA is lifted! But the first movies posted shows one of the most annoying tactics in the game. Mechs trying to crash into other mechs and tripping up. Please, please seriously increase crash damage to limit the use of that tactic. It's frustrating and annoying as hell.

[Watchit]

I think one reason they haven't increased damage for impacts is because it's still needs a little work and it's easy to accidentally run into your own team mate. Which can be very frustrating for a new player as well, especially if they're taking lots of damage because of that.

^^true, but still using that video showing that tactic isnt a great way to help promote MWO. I was so happy to see that poor hunchback take out both those annoying rammer jenner pilots on the second vid. Big ups!

[Watchit]

If I hadn't already known ELP had won, that first match with Window in the Jenner vs a K2 and another Jenner would of had me on the edge of my seat

[Mason Grimm]

This means guys will be able to start posting on MechSpecs.com finally!!!! YAY!

It was really an uncharacteristically bad pair of games for collisions. Things just got so Kaotic so quickly it was hard to slow the pace down enough to regain control of the match. At one point in the first match I couldn't take 2 steps without running into something, literally not enough time to react.

Here I was going through the trouble of making an NDA-friendly video about MWO...

so yeah, this might work but uhm... it'd only work if it somehow determined who was attempting to trip vs who was being tripped and doing more damage to the instigator Otherwise it would only encourage heavier mechs to ram lighter ones even more

Tackling is a valid strategy - why all the hate for it? Might as well take it out of football then!

This is what i fear now as well.

The game is great. Its doing some changes that make the game better.

But its far from being ready for open beta and release.

It needs to be tweaked a bit, as a tactic sure it works but its cheap as hell.

If you were better at it, you and your buddy could permanently put the hunchback into a get up/fall down loop. Cheap tactics are cheap.

[sonicboom9]

how do you play a battle can someone please tell me?

[Damion Sparhawk]

buy a founders pack

the game is still in closed beta testing, the only way to guarantee a key is becoming a founder, so yeah.

They need to add collision damage. Damage from running into walls, running into other 'mechs, DFA. All of it

Hopefully it will force teammates to stop humping each other and learn how to pilot better. See too many videos of triple penetration of a cave.
