We're proud to welcome the HAWKEN community to its new home online! Both PlayHawken.com and the official forums relaunched this evening, the result of hard work by our Web Team.

A few words from Web Developer Chris Kohout:

The Web Team at Meteor Entertainment has been cranking hard to bring out a whole new site that's worthy of HAWKEN, and today I think we've succeeded. We have a ton of new features planned for the next few months that our players will love. Stay tuned!


Excited about this important step towards launch? Tell us about it in this thread! While you're at it, please join us on HAWKEN's Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit. Found a bug on the website or forums? Help us out and report it here.

From all of us here at Meteor Entertainment, thank you for your support. Your enlisting as a future mech pilot on PlayHawken.com is a vote of confidence to us and we greatly appreciate it. We look forward to introducing new additions to this platform all the way up to HAWKEN's Open Beta launch on December 12!

Good job, the website is usable and looks very modern.

The forum is very advanced, I like the editor, but there seems to be an issue with the URLs – the topics that were made to gather ideas used to link to other threads, are now broken and lead to pages with no content ("No input file specified."). It would be nice if you looked into this. Thanks.

This is due to a lack of redirection from the old thread URLs to the new. While we don't plan on setting up unique redirects (we're talking a lot of work for soon-to-be-outdated threads), the transferred threads can be found via the search function for those looking to update compilation posts. That said, we can probably improve upon the error message page to click through to the forum index for a cleaner user experience.

Yeah, I know how #301 can cause problems, but it's a good idea to give players a clue what happened and what to do next (a redirect to the search page with some info about the error would be enough, I think).

Aye, I'm impressed. Can't wait until things start ramping up! Luckily there are some other titles releasing before December that should keep me distracted.

I can't wait for the MekFu controller to come out. It is pretty much why I am so excited. I loved the steel battalion controller.
