Is This Just A Beta Game?

I guess what I'm asking is, will the game be sold by CD like your typical game or will it just be downloaded through here?
I just found out that I can't download the game through here because I have a Mac. So if I cant get the game any other way, is going to suck some major b*lls.
Any help will be greatly appreciated guys.

The question now becomes, should I get Windows 8 or Windows 7?

If you wish to make a purchase you may purchase MC (Mechwarrior Credits) and use them to buy premium time (bonus money and XP), battlemechs, and vanity items.

As for Mac support, why would you buy a mac? Or anything from Apple for they are a source of true (over priced)evil in the world.

Disregard my post. Kyle Polulak and Dirk Le Daring confirmed it does work on W8.

I can confirm that MechWarrior Online does work on Windows 8 64-bit, installer and everything as this is what I use at home to play. Bootcamp just allows you to dual boot the Mac OS X operating system along side Windows on official Apple hardware.
We're currently in Open Beta. This means anyone can come to our website, sign up, login and download our game. There will be issues sometimes with bugs, crashes and lost playtime but this is what Open Beta is for; the widest audience to test it and help us build the best game possible.

I will be getting Windows 8 and running bootcamp on my Mac.

It's my experience that Mac are better computers, though more expensive. I love the Retina display and the overall experience that I have with them.
I'm very surprise that the designers of this game are not supporting Macs OS. There are plenty of people like myself with a wonderful screen and lots of Rams to take full advantage of a game like this. Ohh well.

Anyway point is underneath the plastic/aluminium cover Macs are just PCs with a different OS so if running Windows on it MWO should work fine. It comes down to your personal preference in OS and design philosophy/cost/conscience.
