I think open beta will be annouced at e3,like we had this avalanche of info now we are like calm before storm and then will come another wave


e3 is in one month,usualy they tell us about open beta in month in advance,so my prediction is that open beta will be there roughly in two months,I believe they can do it,I mean thats plenty time

[Sheilei]

You got my hopes up so i checked the list of exhibitors. No Piranha Games there. But it was worth a shot, unless you know more about the routines of E3's than i do.
I don't know much about it.

[Dymlos2003]

Not even close man. The open beta would probably be announced at the end of summer. Closed beta is more likely start around e3

Nope, it's not Piranha showing up as exhibitors, but IGN have a look here: http://e312.mapyours...m?exhid=ign3530
I hope for open Beta too, but I stay a sceptic.

What he meant was IGP (Infinite Game Publishing). One of the devs said this (I don't know where). So basically, the developer (PGI) isn't explicitly there but the publisher (IGP), is.

EDIT: Now that I look at the list, IGP isn't there. I don't know what's up then. http://e312.mapyours...e=alpha&alpha=I

If not then we could just ask some fans living nearby Piranha Studios to drag Paul outta bed and shove him in front of a makeshift podium at E3 in nothing but his pyjamas.
Aaaah...He is trying to run away. Handcuff him to the podium.
They do so and the crowd stares at him expectantly. He stares back. They stare at him with stars in their eyes. The staring contest goes on and on.

Might I refer you to the currently standing statement about these important dates that has been sitting atop the forum for a few weeks now?

[Cold3y3s]

If you remember when the hot drop trailer came out two numbers displayed rather prominently in it were 205 and 256, these probably aren't the unit numbers of the dropship and mech as both the 205th and 256th were Star League units destroyed in the Second Succession war. Some theories that were floating around were that these were the dates the 20th of May and the 25th of June. I don't know but that doesn't stop me from speculating.

its too hard to run a beta and get data off it during convention season. end of august/september is still summer

Yeah, I mixed it up, sorry. But, afaik Paul or Russ already stated they'll be there, so I wouldn't worry. But such a convention to start a beta, I don't think so.

Yeah but they announced full release in summer 2012. Not that much time for betatesting till then, is it?

The open beta is by end of summer 2012... Where is that *** **** forum post stating the stages and their announced dates?

There isn't one. Open Beta will inevitably happen in the begginning/middle of summer, with full release in late August/early September.

Open Beta != Full release.

Im quoting:

The title is slated for a summer 2012 release.

But after reading your question I checked and saw omething shocking:

MechWarrior Online will enter closed beta later in 2012, with an open beta launch before year's end.

If that's true it was some p***poor piece of communication towards our humble community.

Well its honest

[Shredhead]

I have to admit I never read stickies, as they're always on top and thus out of my sightline. I'm still a bit bothered. They absolutely know where these dates come from, IGN and the like dont just invent them, do they?

When IGN originally posted a date of June 30th as the release and a forum poster brought it to light, Paul came in and explicitly said that this was just IGN's best guess. So yes, they do actually just make stuff up apparently haha.
