MechWarrior Online: 12v12 on Test Server - July 11, 2013

So, PGI made their MechWarrior Online Test Server available to the public yesterday, July 11, for two two hours blocks. (One in the morning and the other later in the afternoon Pacific time) to test the upcoming 12 on 12 battles.The general consensus among the eight DHB members I played with was it was very fun. The game dynamic is definitely changed and is very refreshing. I really didn't want to go back to playing 8 on 8 battles after two hours of 12 on 12 battles. :D

You can view three of the battles below or you can watch the entire two hour session here: http://www.twitch.tv/gimpy21/c/2564971

A DHB 4 man group in a 12 on 12 battle on Forest Colony Snow Assault mode.

 

Another 12 on 12 battle on the Test Server. This time in Canyon Network Assault mode.

Two DHB 4 man groups try to sync drop and end up on opposite teams. For the better. Not much fighting in this battle on Tourmaline Desert Assault mode, but it's still fun due to one crazy Jenner pilot on our team.
