			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>MechWarrior Tactics</em>, the turn-based, free-to-play <em>BattleTech</em> brawl from Roadhouse Interactive, is gunning it into closed beta today. Looking to emulate the <em>BattleTech</em> tabletop game that inspired the slew of <em>MechWarrior</em> titles past and present, <em>Tactics</em> includes collectible card game elements, casting you as a mercenary commander in charge of a customizable, four-mech lance. Beginning today, <em>MWT</em> is up for sale; three tiers of buyable beta access (a business model that critiqued just yesterday) range from $20 all the way up to $120, with scaling rewards.</p>

<p>“I may be an old Mechwarrior, but I am not an invalid. Get into a real formation. Now.”</p>
<p>Chastised, they moved back. Operations drilled into them, the <em>Commando</em> moved ahead to scout, while the support <em>Orion</em> moved to the side to screen for attackers. Another <em>Orion</em> held back, ready to support. Getting a feel for his <em>Orion</em>, he scanned left and right, ready for a contact report from his scout.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;After the last battle, he&#8217;d finally saved up for his perfect customization. He&#8217;d been waiting for this battle with a tight anxiety, and now his palms were sweating as he was finally here, finally ready.</p>
<p>His role today was guarding the left flank. As they fanned out from the dropsite, his partner, a <em>Jenner</em>, made lazy circles around him, ever vigilant for enemy light &#8216;Mechs. In the distance, he saw LRMs arching outward, toward his friends on the right.</p>
<p>&#8220;Right flank you have incoming LRMs, repeat, incoming LRMs.&#8221; </p>
<p>&#8220;Roger, getting into cover now!&#8221; replied one. </p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re on it.&#8221; said another. </p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Hunchback</em>, <em>Atlas</em>, <em>Jenner</em>, another <em>Hunchback</em>, K2 spotted!&#8221; shouted yet another, as they closed into cirlces with eachother, desperately trying to outflank their opponents.</p>
<p>He realised they had their hands full and two &#8216;Mechs still unaccounted for. His partner had still not spotted anyone, so he decided he had to press forward.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;As closed beta draws to an end we would like to take this moment to thank those that participated, without their help we could not have gotten this far.</p>
<p>At first hearing about the Open Beta launch many of our players will feel concerned and say to themselves “Why go open beta now?” or “wait it’s not ready yet because ‘X’ feature isn’t implemented”. Therefore we would like to explain as best we can as to why the time is right to enter open beta.&#8221;</p>
