Mark October 29 on your calendar, or on the wall of your cell, people. Come Monday, MechWarrior Online is moving to open beta and -- if you haven't already -- you'll finally get a taste of that hot mech on mech action. 

You can reserve your pilot name now, and maybe do a spot of light reading in preparation for blowing up machines to your heart's content. With this and the Hawken beta, we'll soon be up to our eyeballs in heavy metal warfare and I couldn't be happier.
