I dunno. Hard to get excited without a campaign to play through either SP or Coop.
It'd be cool if they could weave some story arcs into stuff. Anyway, sitll waiting for my key!
It's fun, but it's an extremely "rough" beta. 2 maps, weapons don't really feel very powerful sound wise, and it has it's share of bugs. New build tomorrow, will have to see how the improvements pan out, things like environmental conditions affecting your heat output. For example on one of the two maps your in a snowy blizzard, in the other there's a lake that's supposed to affect heat levels.
LRM's feel a bit over powered and arc and tend to be head shots all the time, I believe they're changing the trajectory in tomorrow's patch so that if you have direct LOS they just fly straight rather than arching up into the air. And they're adding some electronic packages like zoom and CASE etc.
It has a ton of potential it's still very early beta however.
