Yeah, at last.. a big guy; cool!

By the way, much better mech death animations and VFX in there!

I was very happy to see they added physics to the death animations, that was 1 thing i was hoping they'd get time to change

HAWKEN Alpha 2 Announcement
September 6, 2012

Penny Arcade Expo 2012 has ended and holy cow, WHAT a show! We were so excited to get fans into our booth to play HAWKEN, and boy did you ever! We had lines to play all three days and even then we weren’t able to get everyone through who wanted to play. Some of the fans in attendance were lucky enough to snag codes for our Alpha 2 test. But how to redeem them_!

If you were one of the lucky PAX attendees to receive a code for Alpha 2 and have been trying to figure out how to redeem it, fear not! We’ll be rolling out a new website (and forums) very soon and it will allow you to apply your code to your HAWKEN account! While we haven’t announced an exact date for this roll-out, it’s coming in a couple of weeks.

You couldn’t make it to PAX but want in on Alpha 2_ We’ll be sending out Alpha 2 invites to fans who have enlisted on the official HAWKEN website to help us test the game and stress our servers. PROTIP: If you haven’t yet, enlist right now! Following Alpha 2 is our Closed Beta Test with more information to come as we get closer to its start date. Want to know the best way to increase your chances of suiting up in your mech before launch_ Participate on the official forums to stay up to date on all things HAWKEN!

LOL finally Adhesive decided to really push forward....

An RTS element is finally introduced.

That's how you introduce a new feature. However you need heavy weapons for the heavy mech. The slow walking behemoth should have a compensation with weapons available to that class specifically. The same weapons for all mech types doesn't sustain itself in terms of substance.

Weapons in this game need to be more menacing and powerful. It is a game that begs for larger weapons.
