If you were in Alpha/Beta you should have had an email by the 11th containing a Steam Key to activate prior to it's release. Still pretty good fun, a shame Oceania has like 4 servers at the moment which means only one (TDM) is actually played on.
That and you can't use the Server Browser till you've played 5 matches, so if you're in Oceania you have to queue US-West to find a game TT
Played training just to get my bearing, feels pretty smooth. They are pretty blatant about buying X or Y which is a bit annoying. Played a bot game and that was pretty good. My first mech is pretty sluggish though
I play with the Reaper man, got it unlocked after a couple games. It's hard getting that rifle to land, I do way more damage with the semi-automatic thing I have.
Just dl'd it yesterday. Really liking the game so far. The starter mech is actually very strong for balanced gameplay. I'm having no issues destroying everyone in the game. Probably my favorite thing about this game is that it's FPS, but that everyone is fairly tanky, so you have time to react and outplay people. There have been times where I'm caught from behind. You whip around, and you can 1v3 pretty easily if you're good at mobility control. Also the turn delay eliminates some of the "twitch" mechanics you get for super fast reaction players. Overall a very awesome game. Look forward to playing it more.

With the latest patch, the game has really been shaping up; I love it
So far from playing. The heavy mechs are a bit underwhelming. Maybe matchmaking is putting me with scrubs, but the heavy mechs feel like sitting ducks. Sniper mechs feel pretty balanced, not orageously op'd or ridiculously bad like most fps.

No, youre 100% right. The game really favours light mechs and makes the heavy mechs a bit too weak unless you're the incinerator.
They're remaking a lot of them like the Grenadier to have better abilities because they are all kind of generic.
Light mechs are annoying as fuck to deal with. Mostly because everyone that plays um just go around kill stealing or chasing people down. But for the most part they're not hard for me to deal with.

Scouts are pretty bullshit as well as Infiltrators.
