Hmm, i might give it a try one day.

If I can find a way to open WoW files i'm sure I can open these.

Good snooping!
Wonder if you go into low orbit when you boost on the Lunar map,lol.
I think the Taunts are way goofy,I guess the youngins will like them though.
Thanks for your work.

How many maps will there be in the final release of the game_ Since Siege only has 2 maps now which are o.k. but not super! Will there be more maps directly or do we have to wait a couple of months every time for a new map to come_

I wouldn't expect any sort of grand "final release".  Most, if not all F2P games no longer follow the traditional development route... rather, think of them as constantly developing platform as they are always work-in-progress (if they are not that means the game is pretty much abandoned and is dying).  "Open beta" phase is actually as close as it gets to retail release.

Update:

Patch coming out January 3rd bringing a big update to matchmaking and maybe some other things as its suppose to be a large update.

The third is one that I have never seen before.

It was the Sharpshooter in CBE1 or 2.

siege fix_

[arCtyC]

Those are some interesting changes for sure.  What exactly would we fight in the zombie mode_

[Guiotine]

I doubt its actually zombies. It is probably hold X position until you die from Sentium/Prosk forces. They just called it a zombie mode because a lot of other games do so. Similar I am assuming to Gears of War's horde mode or Halo Reaches Firefight mode.

I would agree, a horde type mode. Note: Just saw that listed here.

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

This also makes a great deal of sense, not sure if you have have read up on the story of Hawken and the world the battles take place on, Illal, but the planet has been taken over by a Giga-Structure which appears to be tied to some kind of mass weapon used by the third corporation, Crion (which was destroyed before the events of Hawken). It's a pretty interesting story and I'd like to find out more about the back-story and maybe the return of the Crion corporation; for those that haven't checked it out, have a look at the Hawken: Genesis comics.

[ReachH]

Yes, yes, but what about the Valkyrie_

[Necro]

Well i just learned tons about the game but I have to ask before i post it.

There is something on "valkirie" as it's in the game

Damn you Necro, spit it out already. Quit teasing us with your promise of juicy gossip.

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.

I believe that the "wicked" patterns were part of the alpha but i dont think youd need to remove them anyway since you found them in the OB

[Cpt_Kill_Jack]

Things that were seen in CB and OB are fine to talk about. The things that are starring us in the face I talk about but if its stuff that has not been shown in any way shape or form from the Alpha its a keep my trap shut. As far as the Valkyrie map. Its listed in the INT files of the game folders. Only reason I have said anything. But its obvious we want it to make a return. Even in an Untextured form because the map was just awesome.

[Kenshinesca]

definitely down for some horde mode and new maps.

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.

Spoiler

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).

Why am I just seeing this now_!

So, does the nVidia thruster and camo confirm that there will be some sort of giveaway/promo_ I wonder...

[CdrCain]

Thanks for the info, I was wondering about how much more to expect in the long term and if I would want to stick around for a while. Guess I got some good stuff to look forward to

There is a lot you can find by looking through the localization folders in the hawken folders. The nvidia thrusters being one of them. I knew what we were getting for the holidays by looking through it.
