''Piranha games today announced their much anticipated game MechWarrior Online will go into open beta on October 16th.
MechWarrior Online takes the much lauded formula of Mech combat to an online space and allows players to wage war against each other in extended battle scenarios. The MechWarrior games were always at the forefront of their generation with excellent visuals and strategy based warfare; players found themselves as a the pilot of a Mech involved in a long, drawn out war in a fictional universe. Separating itself form competition such a Armored Core, MechWarrior always prided itself on the classification of its Mechs and allowing you to change the equipment you carried into battle to really make you feel like you were making a difference. Based on the BattleTech board game rules players needed to focus on Heat Management and other integral systems to balance power output and efficiency to keep you in the battle.''
