MechWarrior Online Open Beta Announced and Then Delayed

Update: The MechWarrior Online open beta has been delayed. In an official release that went wide, developer Piranha stated:

We have decided to push Open Beta back.  We agree that the game's current state of stability is not allowing us to get the latest experience across to new and veteran players alike.  This is a short push back on the date and will depend on the stability and playability of the build.

We'll keep you posted on when they announce a new date.

Original story follows...

We've written about it several times at IGN, some of you have even been lucky enough to get into the closed beta, but now everyone finally gets a chance to try out MechWarrior Online on October 16th. While this is not the official release of the game, Piranha Games is launching the open beta, driving more users into their game so they can continue to make balance changes, tweak performance and continue to polish the next mech combat game.
