First is Cupcake, second I don't recall seeing in-play (though is slated to be released in an upcoming patch), and the third one is the short-lived Sharpshooter replacement chassis from closed beta.
I remember posting in a thread about it, being unhappy that apparently an XBOX molested a mech at some point, and dubbed it the XBOT. Introduced at the same time as Fred if memory serves.

[Cpt_Kill_Jack]

There is nothing that can beat the original Sharpshooter body. Which you can see it the graphic novel #2.  Its that one that has a main body that looks like the Abrams Turret.

- He said that new Mechs will come every month and that they have mechs to fill 12 months already.
- On game modes it was hinted on a 4 player coop zombie hoard mode.
-- Advanced graphics settings will return, they were not ready UI wise with the new UI for Open beta. (from original OB patch notes)

*Gasp*

I love you.... And all the good folks at Meteor Entertainment & Adhesive Games!!

I shall name my first born Fred, until he's 25 of course, then switch it to Bruiser.....

PS: Next time to speak with TJ, can you enquire about a mech/level SDK_ I'd love to make mechs or levels as part of a Hawken community project........

Heres another new one.

Plus I got some better shots of the other two.

I think it was a alternate body for the grenadier or one of the the original brawler body styles in CB1.  I dunno, they have all run together in my memory.

Somethings up, theres no weapons on the arms, and even some of the A class mechs in the training garage don't have weapons installed on them either.

I remember seeing this chassis used on a SS in a video I saw from CB, I like the "fuzzy bunny-by-Xbox" look, but apparently other people didn't.

Software Development Kit.  I guess if there was a separate mode for custom mechs...

[Cpt_Kill_Jack]

Im sure that modding capabilities will come when the game is finished but there is no point to do so until it reaches that point.

...Zombies_

I'm not meaning to be rude, but why does every friggin' FPS nowadays have to have a damn zombie mode_

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks zombies are played out. =/

[Cpt_Kill_Jack]

Because its become a staple. Although I prefer zombie modes where the players become the zombies but I dont think that would work here.

[SilentJacket]

It could function by turning the dead mechs into "drones"

It could be plausible that nano bots have been released, converting fallen machinery into drones

[wintersborn]

So the Devs are sticking with small matches and novelty items : (

I would love to see the game step it up to compete with other current games. Many more large maps, 16 and 32 player games, more game modes (TDM/Point Humping are old), more mechs, more weapons, more customizing the mechs and load out, more tactics than just The TOW side step, a team balance system etc.

The game is way to simplistic and gets old fast. I know its Beta but it is sad that Zombies and Holliday paint are what they are working on.

It's also free, personally I like the simplistic combat, it keeps things competitive.

[Cpt_Kill_Jack]

The servers can support larger player counts but the maps they have can not. At the moment the word on larger player counts is not intended. This can always change but the maps are what is needed for larger player counts. And it takes a really good amount of time to make a map.

[Necro]

The healing class is coming soon.

[wintersborn]

Yeah how many games have Zombies, its more than just played out  

Those of us that are in, shall we say in the "Tactical" business hate it and make fun of those that use it.

So the Devs think 2 vs 2 Missle mode is fun huh_ More players per map is more fun period unless you are talking about the small minority that play small teams competitively.

So it looks like the game will cater to the competitive minority, again very sad.

Info on here was taken from system files already ingame but not implemented.

[Ashfire908]

Awesome, one of these threads. Been dieing to dump info somewhere, staring at unreleased/unannounced content all day is killing me.

If you don't want to know what's coming, don't read farther. Oh, and if you've seen some before, it's just cause I haven't been able to play since CB1 due to lack of computer access. Also not everything may end up in the game, this is just stuff that wasn't cleaned out from the files. All images are directly from the hawken game files.

Maps:

Picture Album

There are 4 maps in the works:
Luna - In case your head is on upside down or recently shot off with a portal gun, this means a moon.
Highways - I know little about this, but I'm guessing... a bunch of raised highways_
Valkyrie - Seeing references to this also as jackal_ I still see some grey box images from it.
Phaunos - A full-on forest, maximum greenage

Yes I've found varying amounts of supporting content (none of it worth my time to post unless you really must see what a twig looks like), so I'm assuming these maps are going to be released. I don't have an actual editor for UE so I can't peek inside and see how much actual content there is for the maps yet, so I can't say 100% it's in.

Weapons:

Picture Album

I can see icons images for 3 weapons: Breacher, "mrl system", and a repair torch.

New consumables:

Picture Album

I don't have anything to say beyond what you can see here. I know as much as you do.

New Drones:

Picture Album

Ditto.

New Items:

Picture Album

Same.

New patterns and thruster:

Picture Album

<3 that thruster

Taunts:

Picture Album

Only included because they are so stupidly stupid I want to make a point about how stupid they are to AG so they remove this whole stupid thing...

If any content is from Alpha 2 let me know so I can pull it (yes I'm still holding to that NDA where I can), but all content is from open beta data files (clean install) and I checked every image and have not seen any of these from the alpha (I did actually not include an image to comply, wasn't terribly interesting anyway). Also mods feel free to moderate this to hell, I don't really mind.

Hey if it's allowed and you can get me the files i can open them in UDK

They don't open in UDK, I've already tried like 5 times. I believe they use some slightly custom format or something that prevents this, maybe related to that they use UE instead of UDK now. The files are all those .upk files in the Hawken program files folder though.
