I seriously doubt they didn't expect this though...
Half the forum-population getting access at the same time.
If it was still as strict as it used to be, we'd be down to only a quarter still having access to the beta lol

I'm going to be a scout and be using the Jenner ( if I can from the start ) and I'll be using the jump sets from time to time to assess the situation at hand to relay back to team mates and to jump to harder to reach places or to simply use to avoid being shot at for a whole 5 seconds or less.
They can be use as a good tactic to get around but I agree with some posters here, they are going to take some brains and strategy to use to its full capabilities.
Edit: everyone hates a pop tart

- Don't condemn them without ever having played the game.
and
- Don't believe they are the best that can happen to you without ever having played the game.
Anything else would breach the NDA I have agreed to. Trust in the beta testers and, more importantly, the devs to give every bit of equipment its use and every mech its place on the battlefield.

Everything in that video was obviously staged. You can see the heavier 'Mechs deliberately miss the Jenner.
OP is right, waste tonnage on JJ if you will, but I will take my additional heat sinks.

And you just breached NDA by saying you signed an NDA, smooth move.

JJs make Mechs overcome obstacles or jump out of danger or into the back of an enemy but Mechs be not Helicopters.

Bieng part of the beta is no longer a breach of the NDA. Watch this:
I'm currently playing the beta for MWO right now.
Report me, because I've breached the NDA right? Hardly. 100% of founders are in beta, so guess what, your in the beta. Surprise!

First of, the Cat deliberately missing is quite obvious. but that doesn't have anything to do with the JJs, now does it?
Maybe the whole thing is staged, maybe the mechs the Jenner gets to take out already where heavily damaged so those 4medlas would be enough for a finishing blow. However, fact of the matter is, the movement displayed in the vid (including the JJs) is the "real" movement you get ingame, isn't it?
That said, it quite accurately displays what kind of movement you're capable of, when your mech does have JJs, what you make of that and how you use it is up to you.
Luckily I'll be able to decide for my self if those JJs are worth the cost or not.
