Betatech - First Impressions of the HBS Battletech Closed Beta
7Skip to 7:10 for actual gameplay and 19:06 for combat
The closed beta has finally gone live and keys have been handed out as backer rewards. The reaction, however, has been rather tepid by the more hardcore side of the community, with criticism leveled against the AI and certain design choices.
So here are our first impressions. Steve and Stephan will give you a good overview of the current state of HBS Battletech, with long discussions going on in the forums and walls of text to work through, we thought a video would work better.
The closed (backer only) beta to Harebrained Schemes Battletech PC game is finally here, and Freak Occurrence are the channel to go to for all news, updates, and discussion about this turn based reimagining of the classic wargame that is tabletop Battletech.
We will show you the game, tactics, fight replays, mechanics and everything else you could ever want to know about this latest game from Harebrained Schemes.
From the Web:
From original BattleTech/MechWarrior creator Jordan Weisman and the developers of the award-winning Shadowrun Returns series comes the next-generation of turn-based tactical ‘Mech combat.
The year is 3025 and the galaxy is trapped in a cycle of perpetual war, fought by noble houses with enormous, mechanized combat vehicles called BattleMechs. Take command of your own mercenary outfit of `Mechs and the MechWarriors that pilot them, struggling to stay afloat as you find yourself drawn into a brutal interstellar civil war. Upgrade your starfaring base of operations, negotiate mercenary contracts with feudal lords, repair and maintain your stable of aging BattleMechs, and execute devastating combat tactics to defeat your enemies on the battlefield.
