[QUOTE=BenJammin';37780099]Don't really care about the alpha, but apparently way back when, when they opened up for beta applications I send my beta link to enough to people that I was able to reserve the account name Ben.
So yeah, I am the FIRST Ben.
NO OTHER FUCKER GET'S TO BE BEN, I AM THE ONE AND ONLY BEN IN HAWKEN.[/QUOTE]
I reserved Ben Dover :v:
I've been playing the alpha for a few days now. This game is awesome. It's the best mech warfare game I've played up till now. It somehow both captures the feeling of piloting a huge bulky war machine, yet at the same time you have so many movement options that you never feel like you couldn't have dodged an attack.
I reserved DAI way back hwen
yey
can't wait
Game is fucking awesome.even though it is very early stage,It is easy to pick up for everyone,fantastic gunplay,fast paced and still have that mech feeling.
I never got any email. Shame. When I went to the site I had to make a new account... did they wipe signups a while back?
I still can't see a single server in my browser. Anyone else having this or know how to fix it?

they sent an email saying they updated the forums and you needed to 'claim' your account by following a link.

The game is pretty uhh... schizophrenic in terms of optimization.
I can max it out on the main menu and in the tutorial, get a solid 60fps.
But when I play online with 1 other person it drops to like 20fps on lowest settings.
this might be cpu/ram bottleneck though

Odd, I never recieved that email. Oh well, I'm signed up for real now, so whenever the beta starts I assume I'll get in. Nothing lost.
Watched some gameplay videos, some time later played one round and I felt like I've had enough. Other than having mechs it doesn't feel very interesting, feels like generic versus deathmatch I've played in thousand other games. Probably just me though.

to be honest it does look very deathmatchy, but I'm curious how larger scale games with objectives will be set up. I know there's the whole 'resource retrieval/defence' thing where you gather and carry energy packets or whatever, but I'd probably be happy with general capture location point gameplay, like some sort of mechs-only game of battlefield 2142

on the other hand I had a blast playing Phantom Crash on the xbox a long while back and that's nothing but pointless deathmatches. From the look of it this game is going to act and play similar, which is just awesome. Added bonus is there won't be a little hit-confirmation bell that dings every single time you land a friggin' bullet

One thing i can say is that,the game is definitely built around DM gameplay.It is more like mix of western and Japanese type mech game with a some what sim aspect.I am really glad that they made this game this way,because this exact type of game rare on pc.
Quite enjoying this game so far, good fun already for a Alpha.
Got to say this game instantly reminded me of Phantom Crash / S.L.A.I when I saw it. (They were more arcady though.)

Not a bad thing, loved 'em and was annoyed to see they got a overall poor reception / sold badly. It's looking good for Hawken that it won't fall to the same fate.
Anyone have a spare key?
Checked, apparently never registered. :downs:
God damn I want this so bad, reminds me of chromehounds :C

I've signed up a week after they started signups, and still nothing.
If you get invited, is it by e-mail or by their PM system?
[QUOTE=TurbisV2;37804722]If you get invited, is it by e-mail or by their PM system?[/QUOTE]
I got mine through email.
signed up yesterday and got in today.
[QUOTE=moffe;37804941]signed up yesterday and got in today.[/QUOTE]
I hate you :C
[QUOTE=moffe;37804941]signed up yesterday and got in today.[/QUOTE]
I will fight you for it.

Not even kidding right now.
To anyone who's in the closed beta, how's the light mechs? Gotta say I love having motion control over other mechs, aka boosting a lot, jetpacking a lot, etc.
I got in.
Not allowed to discuss the "game" according to NDA.
I enlisted ages ago and have also signed up again now, yet I have nothing. I think when I enlisted last time that was to reserve a name for release, not beta.
