It's pretty damn fun. The UI and controls are really well done and combat is pretty intense (apart from when you and your enemy both overheat and just kind of stare at each other awkwardly).
Can you guys get some screenshots/video?

The noise is nowhere near as prominent in game, it's just jpeg rape.
Looks amazing, can't wait for my invite.

If you took those i'd take them down since, nda.
There's nothing indicating what his account name is.
Played since Alpha 1. Hate the grain filter.
I'm just glad it didn't turn out to be CoD with a new coat of paint. Quite fun stuff.
I got into the alpha 2, but the code I got in my email says it has no charges left when I try to redeem it :(
How did you get in the alpha? Was it the same way to enlist in the beta and get your callsign?

If I remember correctly several months ago when you could secure your callsign if you got 3 friends to sign up as well you'd have guaranteed alpha access. I don't think I've signed up for any alpha or beta for hawken since then.

I did that but the only e-mail I've gotten about Hawken recently is the one telling me they updated their forums. Oh well I can wait.
Haven't gotten any emails besides the one about the website.
is it just me or are there like a total of 20 people playing in this alpha. every server I see is either empty or has like 3 people.
I gave out a beta registration and I know two people registered from it at least, but then those two started advertising their own links and got some of my own friends to join through that. No beta invite yet
Yeah all I got was an email to make a new account for the new forums.

So I'm the only one that even remotely had that fear?
I got an invite and I didn't send my link to anyone :v:

How badly would you have to fuck up a mech game to make it play as a CoD (the later CoD games)
I knew it wasn't going to be CoD at around the same instant it was announced to be a mech game.

not hard honestly
WASD move forward back left right, mouse to aim
really the only thing that makes me curios is how hawken's control scheme is going to handle. IS it going to have more streamlined controls like the above or is it going to follow more of a mechwarrior path and have separate axis for the legs and torso?

Late news but Hawken is going to support the [url=http://vimeo.com/49294325]Oculus Rift[/url] (a virtual reality gaming headset) from launch.
Got it downloaded and ready at home. Had to leave for school right after ;_;
Looks pretty awesome.
i was hoping for in-cockpit trackir support of some kind but oh god that's even better
I might buy the Oculus Rift just for that.
i'm going to hold off on oculus rift but if it starts to get tons of support then it's going to be the first accessory on my list.
trackir is amazing and i use it on any application that i play. it seems to me that oculus does the same thing that trackir does which is mad cool. if oculous rift can get full xyz motion support as well as tilting like trackir can then it can replace trackir completely
unfortunately it seems like an either/or. you either get a full 3d vr environment with oculus or you get full headtracking with trackir, which to me would be cooler in a mech game anyway. that is unless i'm looking at this wrong since they just said that they're going to have an oculus-only cockpit just for headtracking
Reserved my callsign when it was first announced.
Last week got an email saying they were changing forum and I had to reserve my callsign again.
When I try to it says its already taken.
So what was the point in doing it months ago...

Oh well still looking forward to beta.
I actually got my original callsign by editing it on the new site :dance:
