Looks cool. I do hope the maps stay full-time as well. With all that cold, you'd think the weapon heating would be reduced on that map ;)

I would not grumble but virtually Hwaken has not competition price. Steam has began Christmas sale. There are better things, games for the skins price. A bit of a shame, but I'll buy a few games instead of two skins plus some of virtual things in Hawken.
1 $ is not 1 €.

None of the holiday stuff is permanent_ Hope nobody buys any of it.

F2P is well and fine, The skins and parts are all well and fine, Even the prices are fine. Not permanent_ Hope no one falls for it.

only the repair drone and thrusters arent permanent. SKINS ARE. Just played the new map the map is amazing they did a really good job on it. The trail items are also pretty cheap 86 meteor points for 3 days 386 (i think) for 30 days. Alot of people find these perfectly fair. I just wish the skins were for maybe more then one mech but then i realize skins in LoL are for one character only so i get less upset.

1 statement and 2 questions.

Thank you this is awesome.

Are the skins a limited time offer or will you be unable to purchase them after the event ends on jan 14 _

Under the Gift box HE charge, there is text i do not quite understand. It sais "non-linear behavior" would you care to explain_
There is also what appears to be much smaller text underneath which is totally undecipherable on my screen, I would like to know what it is.

Click me! I dare you.

There is no point in purchasing rental item when they are not permanent. Plus, 90% of the time you won't see yourself with these items in battle beside repairing your mech or in your garage, and judging from the looks of skins and these items, they do fill in the mood of Christmas but very kiddish and does not fit "Hawken" at all. (At least a dark evil christmas theme would be better)

So, I say meh to this update. Keep trying devs, and Merry Christmas.

The camos will no longer be available for purchase after January 14. "Non-linear behavior" is a bit of flavor text, no gameplay effect.
