Coming this month, the newest HAWKEN map transports mech pilots to the Front Line. This large-scale map has wide-open areas destined to become the sites of epic battles, plus plenty of alleys, tunnels, and narrow passageways perfect for launching sneak attacks or lying low between firefights.

The Front Line map supports all four game modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Missile Assault, and Siege. You'd better study the layout because you're sure to be deployed to the Front Line often! Here are some reconnaissance photos to allow you to plan your camouflage selections and ambush points.

Very excited to see this map back into the pool. Lovey job on the art guys, bringing a little more diversity in the looks and exposing a little more of the Hawken world.

Please keep up the good work [ADH] I really am enjoying what this game is bringing to the table. I have faith in you that the competitive side of Hawken will be taken care of after some more of the key "Player base growing" maters are taken care of.

Looks like Facility humped Prosk, and Prosk and then spawned this...

For people that can't see Valkyrie in this map, some reference:

To the left, S2. On the right, path to S3. Center, that overlook onto S2, although S2 is now on a platform.

And now I'm all the more eager to get this patch and start laying waste (and healing) everyone who gets in my way.

Definitely dig the look of this map too, stands out quite a bit from the others.

Question for the Hawken team.

How large is this map compared to the existing ones? Is the map symmetrical or semi symmetrical? Any chance for future maps we might get a quick fly through in video form?

Any estimate on the patch? Next week release?

Any estimate when wicked-brn (camo from closed beta) will be released?
