The biggest pain about Hawken is the this forum and the attitude that is continually expressed toward anyone that appears to use own or support in any way a console,
They are attacked and ridiculed unnecessarily and with apparent immunity this has no doubt impacted on the forum input and discussion by turning people away after reading comment's specifically aimed at Console users There is no justification in vilifying potential users.

I for one Own allot of different hardware from the latest PC to old 6 bit junk ....I found Hawken came looking very interested showed friends and have done my bit to promote Hawken to everyone I know but now most of them (including me) after seeing the attitude expressed toward Console-rs and have been reluctant to join or attempt to discuss Hawken even if they own an appropriate PC.

Everyone has their own opinions to express.

Also, considering you are on the internet using forums discussing a PC title you will always have the PC vs console flame-wars.

Get used to it.

So how does someones ability to purchase a powerful PC give others the right to vilify others just because where on the net?

Well, actually it doesn't matter if your on the internet or not.

It's the same wherever you go. If the game is only on consoles - PC players will be upset. If the game is only on PC - console players will be upset.

Thus the flame-wars begin.

Everyone is free to express their opinion on the game. In fact, it is very much encouraged! However, profanity directed at another user is not tolerated. We don't mind people getting into somewhat heated debates, but comments should be targeted at the argument and not the individual. If you believe that another user is making inappropriate posts, file a report and we will be sure to look into it. Creating an environment that promotes healthy discussion requires the effort of the entire community, so we're counting on you! :D

Sorry for my inconvenience but some users really drives me to the roof. I will try to act more civilized and pedagogical with my explanations from now on.

However if I'm interested in Halo. I simply don't complain and purchase a 360. I have it for such reason. The same applies to a PC. If I want to play such awesome game, I cull few coins and get a PC.

Simple.

Agreed. This shouldn't happen. But it does, and will continue to be a problem across the galaxy. Time for another beer.

You have it backwards:  PC users do not vilify console users, they vilify themselves when they purchase a console ;)

I'm afraid that's true. If you know, have the money and know how useful are PCs then get one. Why entertain yourself with less? Consoles are toys. Don't get me wrong, we all love toys but PC and games of this nature are more than just toys. The target of consoles are kids. Console developers are looking to a young demography not a general demography for every age.

That's why each market should be separate but as you see when you grow up, go to college, get a job, get an apartment, have kids, or purchase a home, your priorities changes. Video games starts to be a luxury. Only kids who ask their parents for a console are your customers. On PCs the story is different. With your PC you get your tool for production, your general media and your working bench.

That's how it goes. Sorry if this was harsh but that's the truth of it.

I feel sorry that people do think that because they have a awesome pc or console that there is such a divide... The truth of the matter is friends you make playing any game on any platform.. I have friends all over the world on my platform weither it be pc or xbox. The end of the day stand true to your friend and stare you enemy's in the face!


Oh and bring on the beers if going to get messy ;)

I Like both i just like to call consoles idiot boxes because it is plug in and go unlike a pc in some cases. There is nothing wrong with idiot boxes there simple and user friendly.

My personal opinion thought of the day is the PC market wouldn't be ale to exist to the extent it is with out the console market and that also applies the other way around as well.

Take it up with the big name devs that seem to enjoy putting the PC version of a game in the back seat or just taking the console version and half-assing kb/m control in
I remember watching a buddy play one of the Matrix games on his PC years ago. The devs didn't even bother removing XBox controller icons, they just slapped the letter of the corresponding key over the icon
