Yeah, mid-match team switching is... odd to say the least. I've never seen a game have this. Are there restrictions put in place or can someone on a losing team just switch to the winning team every time_

Can't switch teams unless teams are uneven.

Yeah, but sometimes people leave on one team and it's like 5 versus 2. So it's cool to be able to switch in midgame in order to make the teams even.

Yes this is why it's Necessary. I'm so glad they've added that back in and was throughly shocked it was removed in the OB given how important it is. There were many many times after OB that I would have switched teams to make it more fair when someone left or if it started with one down on the other team.

I'm actually being farsighted here, though it's hard for most to see. There is ONE gameplay change. Turrets shoot people over the battleship. The rest is simple polish work that is expected.

We could have gotten nothing this week. In fact, very few developers update their games with such regularity. Open Beta has been up for little more then a week, yet they have been vigilant and dutiful at fixing problems as they arise, as well as improving the game itself.

Cut them some slack, eh_

Agreed with this.  

The controversial, rancorous hatred against countermeasures aside (and the beloved EMP that has yet to be well-received by the community), I may say that unlike other game companies, they are in the very least attempting, if one is not satisfied to say that they are already involving themselves in the community a little but noticeable bit, which is refreshing to me.   They are also regularly providing updates for a game.  Other game companies have a higher chance of either outright deserting their game, or destroying the entire game balance with one unbecoming patch.  Now, there have been some worrying blows inflicted already, but it's nothing good in-game practice and a reasonable attitude won't fix, and they are only "bruises" as opposed to "fractures."

Leave the post-critique ad hominems against the company for when the game kicks the bucket because of their carelessness, if it ever does..  Until then, the best route to take would be simply to offer our suggestions as a community for what should be done to the game and, indeed, warn them about the consequences of falling short of a promise.  The frequency of patches they're releasing allows a greater chance for these exact changes to be implemented, but let's not get impatient here.

EDIT: Also, Tzukasa, the Switch Team button was never intentionally removed.  It was accidentally (lolcodingfail) taken out ever since the UI revamp came along.

Hey how much memory does Hawken take_

As much as it wants. it varies_ More than a little and less than a lot_

If you have 6-8GB of RAM in your PC then you'll be fine. That's the standard nowadays.

16GB is better though >.>

[halo4]

Okay thanks

[DarkPulse]

Since it's a 32-bit EXE, it'll max out at 2 or 4 GB, depending on if the devs compiled the EXE with a "Large Address Aware" flag. If they did, up to four. If not, up to two.

It should be noted their recommended spec includes 8 GB of RAM.

Hey you know what this game should also have as a weapon_ Flamethrowers.

[Karaipantsu]

Yes, because flamethrowers work so well against metal.

[halo4]

What if you could be a solider instead of a mech. It would be cool well not if a mech stops on you.

[Karaipantsu]

If I wanted to be a soldier, I'd play COD and hate myself.

I can't really understand why there aren't any sharks with frickin laz0r beams on their heads.

Why not make, something like, instead of guns, there are sharks for arms that shoot bees at you.

oh and a torque bow , from Gears of war 3...srsly.

Not sure you'll agree, though I've avoided every.single.military.style.game.ever.created. They're rather stupid. It's reality. Zzzz.

Besides, the military isn't our brightest asset. Won't be long and Apple will claim they invented teh military and sue our government anyway.

[iESCAP1SM]

Armored Core 5 has a feature where if your mech gets destroyed you become a soldier/pilot and move around, shoot small arms fire that deals no damage to the enemy mechs and yeah...no; I'd hate to see that as a feature in Hawken. Quick re-spawns and non-stop action ftw.

[Wijaya]

where do i get the beta code_

[Karaipantsu]

If you played in the closed betas, you have a beta code on your account.  If not, you're outta luck.
