Awesome news that just came out of Piranha Games. MWO (F2P) will be launching Summer 2012.

You can register your Pilot Name right now. Get your very rare name before anyone else does. I got a really good one. :)

The FAQ is located here. Basically, it's a PC exclusive Free to Play MMO. MWO is running an "offset timeline" to BattleTech and in 3049. No melee combat, no vehicles yet, Mech team-based. The Atlas, Hunchbask and Jenner Mech designs have been confirmed, and the Clans will be making an appearance.

* UPDATE:

PC Gamer has an "exclusive" article on MWO.

Oh right! DC Universe Online is going F2P tomorrow too. I'll probably play it for 1 or 2 weeks before getting bored, but it should be interesting.
