Anyone remember the old Mechwarrior PC games?

Well, it's coming back to an internet near you this summer.

They're taking signups for Closed Beta testing right now with Open Beta coming soon. The game will be F2P with in-game items purchasable through micro-transactions much like World of Tanks.

Go to http://mwomercs.com/ and sign up.

Looking forward to pwning...er, seeing you on the battlefields of the Inner Sphere.

Loved those, especially the "Mercenaries" game.

I only vaguely recall the SNES game. To be perfectly frank, I never understood the appeal or logic in spending money on virtual in-game "items."

Loved those, especially the "Mercenaries" game.

Ya i remember that game, that also was a very good game as well.

Ha, I remember playing that on my neighbors Amiga!

I've started playing them again since I installed windows 7 on a bootcamp partition on my laptop.

They are still great games.

Nice to see the franchise making a comeback.
