I was apart of the closed alpha for Hawken, as well as everything after the alpha had finished.
It went in the exact opposite direction that I expected it to go and such feels alien like when playing it now. I miss how Hawken USED to play in comparison. The addition of a actual HUD is what really pushed me away from Hawken, no longer did these dials and other devices on my mechs dashboard mean anything.
The art is still kickass, I adore hawkens art style, maybe Reloaded can breath some kind of life back into hawken.
Buy a box that may or may not contain the best weapon in the game (0.5% chance); only 59 cents

I can't confirm, but I heard that Hawken originally was going to be a twitch shooter. Was it really gonna be that way?

It sort of was back when i played. Dunno if it changed after the beta
I still have the old build on a HDD somewhere, ill have to dig it out but yeah, was a proper twitchy shoot due to the time to kill being rather low. Explosives were lethal as were sabot rounds.
"APB was originall developed by Realtime Worlds (makers of Crackdown) before the studio collapsed..."
Man c'mon, at least spell check your damn article.

Do you expect quality from Shack News?

Yeah, RIP dead F2P game that has been acquired by a team that has a successfully revived game under their belt.

Successful for Reloaded maybe. APB is terrible P2W trash under Reloaded's command.
At the moment APB's continued support only exists in the form of the cash shop, which is slowly succumbing to power creep, thus slowly becoming P2W.
They've done a lot with the game, but from 2014 onward has been downhill as the developers seem to care less and less.
APB's early revival was pretty damn good, though. Here's to hoping we at least get that much out of Hawken's.
