Operation Frostburn has begun! This holiday season, pilots can enjoy the special seasonal visuals for certain weapons, outfit their mechs with holiday themed customizations, and do battle on Winter Last Eco. However, pilots should stay alert. This winter storm may have brought more to the battlefield than simple holiday spirit...

Get all the details on Operation Frostburn, underway in-game from December 3 until January 2!

Really like the patch so far. The small details, the bug fixes (like the friend list lag) and the game runs so smooth it surprised me, except for the winter Last Eco. That map made my hardware cry.

Loving the patch thus far, really happy with all the little additions to detail like when mechs explode or the SFX when coming out of repair. It all really works to pull me into the experience further plus it helps with being aware of everything going on around. Also no more friendship lag!

But Winter Eco... Oh lord does that run like ass. This is the first time I've experienced any issues with Hawken before when it comes to how the game runs. Some have told me to turn my graphics down but I shouldn't have to turn my graphics down for a single map when everything else runs buttery smooth on max settings.

Now I just can't wait to see the balancing done in the next patch so we can hopefully cut out some of the cheapness to the gameplay mechanics.

After only a couple hours of playtime on this patch things are not looking good for my graphics card. I am not sure what has changed but on my older gear performance has taken a serious hit. I hope it is better for others.

I am really happy to see Friends' list lag fixed. I did not get a chance to try Co-op yet, but assuming that is fixed those two huge alone make the patch a win overall in my book.

I was having a lot of stuttering when the action got intense on Winter Last Eco as well. Seeing as I can run the rest of the maps just fine on ultra, I think all that snow might be causing things to really heat up in my pc.

Either that....or its the yeti. Yeah, must be the yeti.

I like breaking all the candy canes with my face and stomping on all the presents.

Marvin was a bit of a surprise, too. And I like the present I got for brutally murdering him!

Quick question:

Are the festive camos account wide or mech only?

Those Xmas trees still play creepy/festive music, too! That was one of my favorite things about the one on Prosk last year.

Damn... Special camos should really be accountwide like the valentines/dragon ones were.

Oh, btw. My PC cries when it sees LEW, please do a hotfix on the framedrops. Can`t kill Marvin with 20 fps.
