MechWarrior Online: Closed Beta First Impressions

Who doesn't love gigantic vehicles and explosions?

The first MechWarrior game was released for DOS on 1989. Set 1000 years in the future, the game allowed players to bring the ruckus via BattleMechs, gigantic walking robot vehicles armed to the teeth with advanced weaponry.

The latest addition to the long-running series is MechWarrior Online, a free-to-play title in development by Piranha Games. I scored an invite to the closed beta a couple of weeks ago, installed the game, and managed to completely avoid playing it for several days. I finally got around to logging some play time earlier this week, and thus far it's definitely not terrible.
