Mechwarrior Online Enters Closed Beta – Announces Early Access

Have you been pining for massive mech destruction? Well, good news then. Piranha Inc. announced that entered closed as of May 22, 2012.

The access will be limited to an invite-only basis, of course, but don’t lose hope yet!

Along with the closed beta announcement, MechWarrior Online has detailed its aptly named Operation Inception program. Operation Inception will allow you to begin playing July 17th with some nice goodies, depending on your payment choice.

For the $60 ELITE Founder’s Package, you’ll receive:

  • Exclusive custom “Founder’s Battlemech.” This Mech includes a lifetime, per-match C-Bill booster.
  • $80 value of in- currency for in- item purchases.
  • Two-month premium account to MechWarrior Online at launch: Earn XP & C-Bills faster.
  • Founder’s Tag – sets your status apart from the crowd & get noticed in-game and on the forums.
  • Early access to the game along with Founder’s assets availability starts July 17th

If you choose the $30 VETERAN Founder’s Package, you’ll receive:

  • $40 value of in-game currency for in-game item purchases.
  • One-month premium account to MechWarrior Online at launch: Earn XP & C-Bills faster.
  • Founder’s Tag – sets your status apart from the crowd and get noticed in-game and on the forums.
  • Early access to the game along with Founder’s assets availability starts July 17th.

So if you know that you’re going to be playing MechWarrior Online, these packages are probably great news for you.  They go on sale June 19th, so get ready!

We still don’t have any word on when MechWarrior Online is officially launching, so we can’t say how much early access time you’ll get before the crowds rush in, but the release date is definitely getting close!

  3. I’m trying to play Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries on DosBox. I mounted my CDROM drive to the D drive in DOSbox. My game is saved under the C drive, and when I try typing in C:MercsMercs, I am prompted with a message that says Error: Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries CD cannot be found. I also tried typing in D:MercsMercs and that didn’t work either, I got the same error message. I’m not very familiar with DOSbox at all, I just followed some online instructions. Any idea on how I can make DOSbox find the CD? Help would be much appreciated.

  4. I’m already aware of Front Mission Evolved and the Mechwarrior series, I’m awaiting the release of Mechwarrior Online, and already have Bootfigher Windom XP SP-2. Are there any other mecha games anyone can recommend, be it American or Japanese-style mecha games? Preferably something that isn’t particularly well-known.
    @Matt: I said Mecha games – games where you’re stomping around in a giant robot like Armored Core or Mechwarrior. Not generic FPSes that everyone and their dog knows about like Call of Duty or Halo.

  6. Archontess Katarina killed her mother, her brother and began a struggle against Victor, her eldest brother.
    What is the last information about the struggle – who won and what is the number of the book where I can find it?

  7. Ok.

    So im making a story called “Storm Chaser”

    here is the summary

    A warrior named Leo goes back to the small town of BattleTech to destroy the darkness that spreads around once and for all. Will Leo win? Will he become “Lord of BattleTech”? Find out in this story.

  8. I am looking for players, places to acquire battletech, places to play (large), friends to share experiences with of game they’ve played.

  10. I just bought Battletech for the Sega Genesis and I cannot get it to run on my Sega Nomad. I know it is not the console as It works just fine. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  11. I have a few hundred of these from when I was younger.
    Where do you recommend I sell them?
    They are in mint condition – never used just kept in a box.
    eBay UK does not have any other items under Battletech CCG, though?
