Mercenary Wars opens up (briefly) today and Tuesday


The upcoming free-to-play first person shooter Mercenary Wars recently shut down their first closed beta test. Now they are prepping to launch their second closed beta. But before they do they are allowing everybody to play the game today and Tuesday.

For both days, anyone will be able to access the servers without a beta key and play the game online between 5 pm-midnight Eastern Time. According to the game's official site, "This test is to ensure that the technical issues found in CBT1 have been corrected, and to get another round of feedback before we start the official Closed Beta 2." Mercenary Wars, developed by NM Productions and published by Uforia, is still scheduled to officially launch before the end of the year.
