This makes me sad, I don't doubt that there will be support for that hardware, I was just hoping to see a "visual" confirmation.


Or more importantly, vigorous enjoyement and usage of Joysticks/Etc, as if it was a main goal/purposing.

So. How will you guys go about distributing the closed beta. Will it be to the people who have registered thus far, or the most active forum participates, or something like that?

Can't wait to blast 'Mechs in CryEngine...(got a whole new graphics card just for this game! :P )

Intense battles rage across the PGI studios






Who's that sitting at the end computer with the giant monitor? I mean, look at it compared to the other ones! And is that beer?

I'm green with envy.

It'll probably be random or something.

Military gets first pick on the closed beta, right :P

Looks good so far. Just trying to make out some of the things on those screens. Wonder if the CIA will clean these photos up for us.

First, the good news is the beta will be able to accelerate after the sedin sisters are eliminated this week.

Second, from the picture

1) The guy with the big screen in windowed mode on the right seems to have a slightly different layout than the guy above him. In particular, the armor listing on the top right (which I hate FYI) is missing from his screen. Might just not have a target I suppose.
2) I see chat text in the upper left on a couple screens.
3) The screen on the lower left has some blurry displays, which could either be ghosting due to the camera, or perhaps heat/damage/PPC effects/etc causing the cockpit to have issues


Anyone srafty enough to figure out anything about their hardware form the back of the PC's? Its not an on board video, but that's no surprise.
