Anyone seen this concept controller? 

[Akrasjel Lanate]

Yes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMqO_k5B2LE

[GoGo Yubari]

With everyone enthusiastic enough in the Beta already, this thread is dying!

[Z.Sinraali]

Concept controller? Wouldn't that be more for a philosophy game than a big stompy robot game?

Or maybe it's both...

The same balance issues persist, but I'm having a stupidly good time blasting people into tiny bits.

Anyone played MW tactics, the browser  turn-based online collect 'em all pokemon styled version? Also in Beta

Nah, haven't tried it and am not sure if I will... I mean, I have MegaMek with its faithful interpretation of TT rules for that sort of thing, so I'm not sure if I see a use for MWT for myself. I could be wrong though. I do like explosions. However, MWO has explosions (I'm quite sure that isn't breaking the NDA).

[Mithfindel]

Pretty sure the explosions have been revealed in official videos.

Goons have landed.

Been playing with a pretty good group of guys on TS and smashed em good yesterday.

Their strategy consists of having a few small mechs distract and draw out people for a chase, then having a giant mob of fast knife-fighters blob your group from another direction. Usually with an Atlas in front to damage-sponge.

We had similar loadout but not the huge engines, and therefore  had that much more armor buffer. Went bad for them but was fun as hell with 16 mechs in a giant close-quarters melee of death.

Of course my Atlas was primaried almost immediately and came apart in short order. But we won

Also have been having much much success with small bands of roving medium brawlers or jenner heavy teams. Kind of equivalent of throwing nothing but damage mods on a minmater frigate or cruiser and mobbing a battleship in Eve.

Just got into closed beta. Bouncing up and down excitedly as it downloads. Should probably go mow the yard while I wait.

Closed Beta Tournament. Super Fun. 

My team crushed first two fights and are moving on to 2nd branch of tourney : ) 16 kills 2 losses.

I managed 3 kills and 6 assists for one fight ; )

Got in to closed beta yesterday

[Druur Monakh]

Time, as usual, is an issue...

[GoGo Yubari]

It would seem that the NDA is being/has been/will be lifted.

Really enjoyed this game, but taking a large break so I don't burn out prior to release.

[GoGo Yubari]

I uploaded videos of some of the more interesting pug games I've had recently. I'm trying to hopefully showcase something more worthwhile than simply "look bro how many kills I got", though there is certainly a little bit of that in there as well. Available in HD and rocking a soundtrack!

This is mostly Jenner action, showing what can be done with a decent light 'Mech and a bad attitude.

DANGER CLOSE

Demonstrating the effect of a light 'Mech amply supported by indirect fire.

Soundtrack: edIT - Battling Go-Go Yubari In Downtown LA

DEFEAT IN DETAIL

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M10Hxdm81sY&feature=plcp

A Jenner is not to be underestimated.

Soundtrack: KLF - What Time is Love and Phonique - Vincent Pryce

JENNER OVERDRIVE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV0dofrpOdQ&feature=plcp

The Jenner encounters a target rich environment.

Soundtrack: Juno Reactor - Mona Lisa Overdrive

DAUNTLESS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxoMjKCSXqs&feature=plcp

A crazy Hunchback charge with plenty of friendly fire, showing you can brawl with an XL engine!

Soundtrack: Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (BATS' Gnarly Sheen Dubstep Remix)

Hopefully somebody finds them entertaining! I guess they're a decent look into the game for anyone who isn't in the Beta.
