					So, after the servers come online, I just like the rest of the players try to enter a server and find them all to be full and trying to enter one that's seemingly empty fills before we have a chance at entery ourselves.
So! I propose a feature to be added to the Beta and/or final product. Server Queues.
Games like Team Fortress 2 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 allow players to enter a queue to servers that're full and they'll get in once a spot opens up. I personally love the ideas of queue so we can get into our favorite or closest servers instead of trying to enter an open server that has a base latency of 300.
I'm not saying rip-off the concept, but I think Hawken could definatly benefit from this feature. (also sorry if this idea has been posted before)

					Completely agree.  And it's not like it'd be 'ripping off' the concept, game devs often evangelize those sort of features.  I seem to recall a GDC talk by a Bungie employee about matchmaking, hoping to get more developers to see the value of it...

					World of Tanks has the same thing. When it gets released this may not be an issue but it's always a good idea to have it in place in case there are server issues or something else going on.

					A queue would be very nice for having an estimate for how long it would take to join a game. On the other hand, there is no guarantee that you will actually be able to connect to the server and you may end up at the end of the queue again...maybe there is some smart way of managing this...

					This is a feature that should be in every multiplayer game.
