MechWarrior Online: MechWarrior Academy on Public Test Server

It's finally here and, despite a few bugs (PGI knows about most of them), the new player tutorial and training portion for MechWarrior Online is very well done.

I spent about three hours playing around in the Academy and had a blast!

Check out my experience in these Twitch highlights.

MechWarrior Online: Zeus, ZEU-6S, Video Series

Here are a collection of videos where I pilot the Zeus, ZEU-6S, 80 ton Assault mech. My favorite build is two AC5 and four Medium Pulse Lasers. It doesn't sound like much, but with modules and current quirks, the AC5 hit at full strength out to just over 800 meters and cycle fairly quickly. The four Medium Pulse Lasers are not to be taken for granted either because when they all hit they do more damage than an AC20 and they cycle faster.

The video below takes place in Viridian Bog (one of my least favorite maps for Assault mechs without jump jets) during the Blood Money Event (Possible 500k C-Bills Bonus) and get 6 kills and 2 assists on 924 damage.
