Mechwarrior Online

[Rage 2]

I'd play if it was like Battletech 3025 back in 2001. Faction-based mmo that died a short death, but was free and fun!

[MasterShrive 2,015]

Well I've never played that, but this is free and I think it's worth a look. Especially if you like that universe setting.

[MasterShrive 2,015]

The Clan Invasion is here, for anyone interested in having a look. Some pretty interesting new 'Mechs and weapons.

[MasterShrive 2,015]

Talking with a couple of members who have played this game (it's free), we might look to put it in the Random Roll rotation some time. So if anyone would like to drive around giant robots let me know. I think Simo still plays it a bit too. Would certainly be fun in a group though. Roughly an 8GB download I think: https://mwomercs.com/game/download

 

You can add friends in game. Both Simo and I are our usual nicknames.

Yeah, I still have this installed. I'm a MW fanboy from way back. Alpha Strike FTW !

Dec and I had a game this evening. We did not do well, lol. First time I've played in a group and we came across a few other pre-made groups as well. Made it tough going.

Only played a bit with Shrivey last night, but so far its giant robots and lasers and rockets, so pretty sweet.

 

We should jump into another game soon.

[MasterShrive 2,015]

I'm up for it any time.

 

Also, Simo, you might find the following interesting (it's a bit lore related): http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/172535-community-warfare-phase-2-update-sept-24/ Basically, it's the Inner Sphere map and their explanation of how combat is going to take place to conquer different planets.

 

Edit: a few more details as well on Phase 2: http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/170743-community-warfare-phase-2/

 

Simo, do you have a faction selected? I went with Davion. I've also created a Roll The Dice Unit which you have an invite to. Not sure if that affects faction selection.

[MasterShrive 2,015]

A few of us have been playing this of late. It's been good fun in a group and hasn't been too hard to pick up. There's a new patch out today.

[MasterShrive 2,015]

For anyone who did get MWO the other day, you might want to opt in to the current event here: http://mwomercs.com/tournaments You could earn some bonus C-bills just by playing matches.

[MasterShrive 2,015]

For anyone who does have this, there's a code going around to get a week's free premium time: holiday2014

 

Even if you're not really playing the game, it's probably worth redeeming here: https://mwomercs.com/profile/redeem as that gives us more people with premium if we ever do a Random Roll again. Code expires after the 31st.

Yikes. They're subtle about "never play our game again".

 

Also, if you want a go at the Community Warfare side of things just let me know. It's actually pretty fun. One team attacks, the other defends, and you get four mechs for a game that goes about half an hour. It does need a bit of teamwork to succeed.

[MasterShrive 2,015]

There's a week's free premium time for this going at the moment for anyone interested. Dec, Dredd and I had a game the other day and it was quite good fun.
