However, an objective-based gametype that used huge huge maps could be a lot of fun if it was all built right.

Besides, the very lore of Hawken is that the age of abundance has come to an end. The resources have run dry, and the few who remain fight over what's left. Literally hundreds of mechs blowing each other up like it's nothing would be in direct conflict with this.

In my experience with games, innovations are usually secondary to the average power of most players' pc's. This sells more units, gets more subscribers and what not.
Now if anyone ever opens up private servers like many people do for games, who knows.

However, a non-communicative, free-for-all around a small map where you can't tell your ass from your elbow before getting shot in either / both, may end up being more frustrating than fun.
Good to think outside the box though. More questions welcome!

Agree with several key points; Anything past like 8v8 or at a stretch 10v10 is going to be too many for individual pilot skill to matter, and that's what this entire game is about.

Hawken would not benefit from that kind of massive match type, it would only hurt the game.

GnB is spot on, this is a game that shines in the 6v6 to 8v8 spectrum. I feel like even 10v10 may be pushing it.

For large scale battles on huge maps, slower games like Mechwarrior work way better.

2) Maps that big chew up a lot of Vid card cache and it would make the min gaming requirements higher to do it, resulting in less people capable of playing
3) This isn't PlanetSide2

Dust 514 which is a PS3 exclusive title made by CCP which directly interacts with all their EVE players will allow 257v257 battles, hence the name Dust 514, and is created on the same engine Hawken is, so i guess it can right?
EDIT: People please stop saying things like "my computer cant handle that" and "i need better internet" because if that is the reason which discourages you from largescale battles, then go buy a better computer and get a better internet connection

For these reasons, you are looking for something different from most of the rest of us. And performance is, in fact, very important to consider. You can't just dismiss complaints with "go buy a better computer." Well, you can, but you quickly develop a reputation of being an elitist snob and people won't buy your software when your support response is "your computer's too weak, that's the problem".
If you want Mechwarrior Online, you know where to find it.
