Something that you may want to take note on if you are a huge MechWarrior fan is that you can reserve your pilot name now before the game is released. That way, you can make sure you get the name you want.

I already did this and luckily got a name that is hard to get on the interwebz. If you must know, it is IceNine. So, be sure to look me up when the game releases.

Doing this will also allow you to access and use other parts of the site, most notably the forum.

It has been two years since Piranha Games has released any information on the new MechWarrior game they are supposed to release. If you have been following the franchise at all, you saw the completely badass video they released those two years ago. Many a gamers were jizzing in their pants. 

Well, now it is official. And, it is being called MechWarrior Online. This game is to be PC exclusive(absolutely no complaints here). The game is also set to be F2P and sounds like strictly online. Don't quote me though. This is both a good thing and a bad thing for me. F2P done right could expose the game to a lot more people. But, I loved the single player campaigns. 

MechWarrior Online is obviously set in the Battletech Universe but will be around the 3048 era. The developers are saying this era will allow the game to flow with the style they want to do. Each day on Mechwarrior Online will be a day in our world and events will happen as they do in the story. Pretty exciting for me. 

There isn't a whole lot of information yet. However, PC Gamer(bastards) seem to be getting a lot of exclusive info today so you will want to keep an eye on them for more information if I don't put it up on here.
