[Quote=Shamelessly copied from Wiki]Hawken is an upcoming independent multiplayer mech combat game under development by Adhesive Games. The game focuses on creating an intense battle experience that captures the feel of piloting a mech while keeping the action fast-paced and strategic. The team of developers consist of 9 members (6 core members and 3 interns, including the art director, Khang Le)[2].In an interview with G4 Khang Le, the art director, stated that the team has been reduced to 7 (core) members with the 3 interns withdrawing to resume their education and that Adhesive Games has found a publisher.Hawken has recently gone Free-to-play and has launched a sign-up page for an upcoming Beta of the game
Hawken is a mech-based first-person shooter. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic human-colonized planet industrialized to the point of collapse, in which the hunt for resources has become a battle for survival.[4] Four game modes are planned for release: team deathmatch, free-for-all deathmatch, "siege" and another yet-specified unique team game mode; Khang Le has said that they also want to do a co-op "Horde" game mode, resource- and time-permitting.[5] Seven to eight unique maps have been planned for the game on release, with plans to provide additional downloadable content afterwards. There will be three different mech types: a light type, a heavy type, and an all-around type.[6]
The player assumes the role of a battle mech pilot, armed with cannon-like weaponry. Unlike many other first-person shooters, weapons will not require ammunition but are prone to overheat. Overheating will shut down all weapons of the mech, forcing the player to find a safe place to recover. It will be possible to choose weapons and upgrades for all mech types to match a play-style or role in a match. In combat, the player will be able to side dash, boost, and make 180° turns to compensate for the slow movements of the mech, which will in turn deplete the fuel gauge rapidly.[5] Turrets are also featured in the game as two types: stationary and placeable. Stationary turrets will be aligned to the team which activates the turret, while placeable turrets can be picked up and placed around the map by anyone.
Energy Units (EU) are used to fuel Turrets, buy items and launch Battleships (in siege mode). Destroyed mechs drop all EU they were carrying, which can then be picked up by other players.[/Quote]

[Quote=Dev Blog]Head on over to PlayHawken.com to sign up for the Hawken beta!
That’s not all though, we have some big news about the game. We are confirming that Hawken will launch as a free-to-play PC game. Initial release is officially scheduled for 12/12/12.[/Quote]
Figured I'd make a thread, Considering Beta registration just opened
Sweet, incredibly excited for this. What exactly does getting 3 friends to sign up get you anyway? A callsign?
-im no longer a bitch-
I liked the idea, but I never got to know about it more until now. Thanks.

I think it guarantees you get into the beta. I bet this thread is going to be full of referral links in a minute.

I thought just registering got you into it? Ive got 3 referrals anyway :v: so I got a callsign. Is that just the name I will use ingame?
[QUOTE=Niklas;34580516][url]https://playhawken.com/?ref=v40focm7[/url]
Since i am a bitch.[/QUOTE]
Maybe we can set something up where we sign on via someone's link, then they snip it when they get 3 and someone else's link gets put up?
Maybe too much trouble just to reserve a callsign :v:
I reserved the call sign Ben, I feel proud to be the first Ben.
I'm somewhat surprised this is going F2P. Hopefully they don't add pay-to-win stuff into the game. That's just annoying.
edit: Might as well put my referral code if anyone is generous enough. [url]http://playhawken.com/?ref=7ozy5qxm[/url]

We meet again, my love!
Looks bloody amazing.
This is another one of those few games which I am genuinely excited about.

I don't get it. It says I have been promoted but it also says only 2 people used my link :confused:
Wait, not released until December 12th? Fuck.
[QUOTE=NanoSquid;34580678]Wait, not released until December 12th? Fuck.[/QUOTE] The actual game, not the beta.
