Russ Bullock stopped by the official forums yesterday to give us a “Developer update”. The update is chock full of all kinds of good information, but the highlight for everyone… is the announcement of the System Requirements for MechWarrrior Online:

Russ does provide the usual disclaimer about the game being playable, but not necessarily the most enjoyable at just the minimum specs. The update also touches on the Founder’s Packs that go on sale Tuesday. As well as stating that the date Founder’s are guaranteed access to the game has been pushed back from July 17th, to August 7th.
Founder’s packs will also only be available for a limited time (though how long that limited time is, hasn’t been announced yet).
Head over to the MWO site, and read the full announcement..
The information Russ has given us, gives me warm fuzzies about the games future, and the direction the team is going (I would like to see more ‘Mechs in at launch though).
