First of all, I loved playing Hawken at PAX. Now, after playing at the Machinima booth, I was given an Alpha for getting in first place. I was wondering, when can we redeem these codes and start playing?

I'm also curious to this as I have received a code also. While there does seem to be information stated about closed/open beta nothing other than "alpha has begun" and a comment of alpha 2 starts in about a week or two was given to me.  Anything information given would be much appreciated.

Patience is a virtue. Those that have the closed alpha 2 invite, be glad. You're now awaiting the time for them to open up the alpha to the outside testers. You'll probably receive an email with more information. Honestly this is something more for a PM to a green like playhawken or lavalamp
Fanboys beware: From now on if you start doing it I will ignore the post. Fanboyism ruins conversations the same way religion, science, and politics due. We're here to fawn over hawken, not other things.

Well, they don't even have my email. Considering they were giving out Alpha codes to the public with no more information, this seems like the time to make a blog post explaining how the Alpha will work. I'm sure many people are wondering the same thing.

My brother and I both got Alpha 2 codes from PAX as well.  I don't think Alpha 2 is ready just yet... should be just a few more weeks - considering my self lucky since Beta doesn't even start till December!

That just makes me feel even more butthurt about not being able to attend PAX or anything.
Man i wish i could fly to America just for these events so i could play Hawken.

Not trying to be sooty, but i do hope that signing up back in 2011 would grant some form of Alpha code.  <_<

I know this probably isn't going to make you feel better and I'm not saying this to make you feel worse at all... but the game is AMAZING.  It totally stole the show at PAX (in my opinion of course).  You will NOT be disappointed when you finally get a chance to try it.

Same issue as everyone else.  In possession of an Alpha 2 code for owning at PAX, no further instructions.

Hey all,
We will put a portal on the website where you can enter the key and start alpha 2 testing. I know you have been extremely patient with our small team and I have to ask you to wait just a few days longer.  

Just a heads up: Everyone that registered for the forum will be offered an opportunity to test. We haven't sent those out yet.

Stay tuned!

So I went to PAX and played at the booth five times to get my Alpha and finally got it last minute, when I could just continue to be a member of the forums and get one anyway? And I thought I was special XD

I said it back during PAX East but I'll say it again.

I've been in several alpha/betas before and having a voice server of some sort (Mumble, Vent, Teamspeak) has helped a ton in the ones that had them. Bugs get noticed easier, balance gripes(accurate or no) get whined about earlier, and a general feel for the reaction to the game is built up much quicker(after the initial dev worship).

Just in case you guys haven't set one up.
