Here, just create an account.

Remember those times when we all had something better to be doing, but didn't do it? Those were good times. Gooood times

Darn it. Got an email earlier today, and couldn't figure out what it was for. Thanks for the reminder

Without The Flood, I wouldn't know what an opinion is.

Was in the alpha. It was alright, but it wasn't what I expected.

I was hoping for something more along the lines of Phantom Crash or S.L.A.I, even Chromehounds, in terms of customization. It feels less of a mech game and more of a mech-themed shooter to me. It wasn't necessarily bad by any means, it just didn't hold my interest.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

Downloading now. I was in the alpha so lets see how far they've come.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Do I need a good rig to play?

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

This appears to be the system requirements:

Minimum System Requirements:

CPU: 2GHz Dual Core
Memory: 3GB RAM
Graphics Card: 512MB Graphics Card supporting Direct X 9.0c and Shader Model 3.0 (example: nVidia 9800 GTX or AMD HD 5670)
Operating System: Windows XP or higher
Hard Drive: 5GB of free space
Internet Connection: Broadband

Hopefully this will be somewhat like MechAssault.

Thanks OP! I'll let it download overnight.
