The F2P model implies you will be able to purchase the Mechs. I imagine many will be available with in-game currency and some special models will only be avail with premium currency. I believe they are going to implement a similar system to WoT.

Why would I pay for a free to play game that I'm only half interested in? It doesn't even have any kind of combined arms, just mechs. Like world of tanks, which also got old fast because it was unrealistic due to lack of infantry and aircraft (and mixed nationality).

A question, if it doesn't violate the NDA, what's the start like?

Do you get some basic mechs in your garage with which to make some money to further progress (like WoT) or do you start with an empty garage and a bunch of money to buy whatever you like first?

Man, I need to learn to play. I suck, lol.

Is there any way to create something like "platoon" in World of Tanks?

So, when does the non-founder's beta start again? I've looked around, but haven't seen a date, though I think I saw one a month or two ago.

If it's anything like World of Tanks, I'll be so over it. Unless they don't have a decent tiering system. I do NOT want to be sitting in a Flea or Uller while the enemy is jogging around in an Atlas or Masakari!

They could like... section it out.

5 light mechs or something to a heavy, etc.

Make it so everyone is not running around with an Assault.

nope in all honesty it does not matter what your running you will always have a chance !, and you need the scouting mechs for support for your guys with the LRM's.

It does not matter what you run, i currently run a Atlas ( founders ) and i have even had my ass handed to me by a hunchback ( medium ) and even a fucking commando ( light ) fucking bastard shot out my ammo caches in my legs and arms :/

Unlike World of Tanks... Any class of mech is useful.

The Jenner is my absolute nightmare. I'm truly terrified of it. And that's a light mech.

This.

in a Atlas which is a assult mech and the heaviest this kills me alot, once your in a turn war you lose :/

and when they get up right close, you lose all weapons apart from your arms, because they are way smaller than you so dont come upto your chest where all your big firepower is

Too bad they don't have melee attacks implemented. They'd be far less likely to get in your face when a single kick from an atlas would rip their leg off.
