Anyone else in the Mechwarrior Online Beta?

I am not going to breach NDA just trying to see if anyone else plays it.

Not I, but I may look into this game when it comes out of Beta.

I honestly despise free to play games 90% of the time and I am LOVING this so far. NDA was lifted yesterday so I can talk about this now.

The game is pretty playable as is even in closed beta. I would say less buggy than BF3 at launch. The game is beautiful but has trouble running on lower end systems but that is typical CryEngine.

As far as the currency goes there are two types: MC and C-bills. MC is the currency you pay for and so far the only thing you have to spend MC on is additional slots in your mechbay for mechs (you start with 5 right now) which is pretty cheap $9.95 for 1250mc. This is all subject to change due to beta. Mechs are bought with C-bills or MC. Items are only purchased with C-Bills. So far mechs are pretty balanced. Light mechs have more maneuverability than heavier ones even though the heaver ones have more armour and tonnage for weapons.

If you try the game add me as a friend "psychonitrous".

With CryEngine I expect nothing less then beautiful.

What's the range of Mechs you can buy? What kind can you get?

Right now there are 3 lights (Raven, Commando, Jenner) 2 Mediums (Centurian, Hunchback) 2 Heavies (Dragon, Catapult) and 2 Assault (Awesome, Atlas)

Each mech has 2-4 Variants with different hardpoints you can get. For instance there is an all energy weapon hunchback as well as 2 with energy and ballistic hardpoints and 2 energy/missile variants.
