If you want to play in the closed beta test for Mercenary Wars, you had better hustle. The latest entry in the flood of free-to-play first person shooter titles is in the middle of their beta test but it's scheduled to shut down at 5 pm PT (8 pm ET) today. The game was first announced last August.

Developed by NM Productions and published by Uforia, Mercenary Wars has also revamped its web site with more info and media about the game. The back story takes place in the near future where the economy has collapsed (which could never happen in real life) and groups of mercenaries apparently run the world. Yes, the A-Team are apparently your new leaders. I pity the fool who crosses them.
