Preview: Hands On with MechWarrior Online

Quote:
While the Atlas is definitely the most powerful raw combatant in MechWarrior Online right now, Piranha says that, as with all class-based games, it'll be balanced so that a team of all Atlases is going to have a rough time. Only after my glorious death was it pointed out that I didn't need to defeat the Atlas in single combat to win -- I could've lured him to the middle of the map, then bolted for his base and captured it before he could lumber back. Oh.

I'm looking forward to trying out a massive 12v12 match, and with the free-to-play model, it won't be hard to find enough players to fill it. Keep an eye on the mountaintops when the the beta opens up at an undisclosed time this summer -- you might just see a Jenner up there relaying your location back to his friends.

My team was already using the targeting data I'd relayed them to lock on and launch volleys of missiles...
