Hi all,i gave it a try last night.

[Redshift2k5]

Still fairly buggy and slow, but it looks promising.

If you don't have a key yet, keep your eye on their facebook page, they have been having frequent key giveaways

[Warrax the Chaos Warrior]

I registered for the beta but I haven't bought one of their founder's packages, so I have not received an invite. AFAIK it is still under NDA, but I'll ask "How is it?" anyway.

Aw lame, I don't have a facebook. I made a fake one to get the Nvidia Dawn bobblehead, but I don't even remember what fake name I used.

It has the same people involved, so it will probably suck.

I kind of regret not being part of the founder program for MWO so I opted to do so for MWT. To me MWT seems like it will be a fun game so far!

MMOBomb has a giveaway of their keys. Took one for a bro and they still may have some, you could try that.

[Vassago Rain]

No.
Looks terrible.

The art ruins the deal for me.

Tactics is not being made by PGI. It's made by Roadhouse Interactive and published by IGP (IGP is not a studio, they are a publisher)

The mechs are kinda wonky when you view them full screen but they look fine as tiny miniatures on a large hex-grid map.

Thanks, got one! There's over 2000 keys left if anyone else is interested.

You know, when a game has keys all over the place, that sites can't even get rid of, that tells me the game in question might not be all that good.

Mechwarrior Online did the same thing nearing the end of closed beta. PS2 gave out thousands of keys as well.

But those keys were used. Tactics keys aren't being used.
That was my entire point.

Right, but how do we know that it isn't the people on IGP's side screwing this game up?

No it dosen't, different development studios, same publisher. Big difference. And it is a totally different game.

I am in the MWT Beta, and I am enjoying it a lot. It is still pretty raw, but the are making great strides with each patch. It will not be for everyone, but it is a solid game with a lot of potential. If anyone here wants to send me a match invite in MWT just send me an PM on the MWT site and I would love to play against you.

[M4NTiC0R3X]

No I don't really enjoy that game type. Although, the giant chess battle with many less variables than the real time state of MW:O that MW:Tactics would provide is enticing indeed.

Also, could you please share your journeys? Or will I have to go over to the site and find out for myself

Dota 2.

I'm drowning in the keys they started to hand out a few months ago.

But yeah, the MW:T is more of a niche. A niche which people seem to like. Just look at Megamek, since it's existence itself suggests there are people who enjoy that kind of game. And it's still beta, so there is also a chance to change the things you don't like (feedback and such).

TL,DR: That people don't row all the keys, it's not because the game is bad, it is because the people who want to play it already play it.
