Still breath takingly and heart jumpingly kickass. My spoiled inner fanboi is throwing screaming tantrums. Its barely beta and it looks and sounds fantastic. Whatever sounds and graphics that need to be tweaked Im sure will be taken care of in closed beta or after open beta launch as they let the players rip into it.

Personally, Id like to see lasers sound less cartoony, less cheap sci-fi. Id like to hear the ACs with more artillery-esque sounds because they are, in effect, tank sized weapons. Sounds that are not strong, or as titanic as the mechs themselves, give the illusion that the mechs are small and fighting on a miniature field like StarCraft. Id like to see this avoided.

Sounds were fine imho, as for music... they added music to give the video more oomph, it's a common thing in entertainment.

I remember way back in the day when that movie Starship Troopers was showing previews and the first previews had really subdued music and it was very 'meh'. Then they snagged Song 8 from Blur and used /that/ in the trailers and it totally changed the whole vibe of the movie and actually got people interested in seeing it.

Music can do a lot as ambience is a powerful thing.

I think i looks great. Only objection i have it the missles visuals. They look like they explode with the force of a fire cracker and some dont explode at all. Would expect to see alot of smoke and large blaze of fire when that swarm of missles impact the mech and ground.

The AC/10,20 have sphere explosion like in other MW games, but they are using HEAT/HEAP ammo, so explosion should have cone shape.
Just detail tough.

I watched this 7 times in a row before reading, or checking anything else. Damn guys, carry on.

I am under the impression (and hoping) that explosions are simply in progress for the whole of the game. In all of the trailers I've seen, mechs have been downed without anything so much as a spark. I'd expect to see some pretty decent fireworks and billowing smoke if all is done well.
