Better than nothing but I suppose its my own fault for getting hyped up on unconfirmed rumors.

I do hope that more content will arrive soon because Hawken has very nice core game mechanic, but it is very lacking in diversity/fluff.

[Krellus]

Well any improvement is welcome, and I'm sure DM 10 max will be better, along with map cycling... though to be honest i didnt event notice the repeats, haha, and dont play DM that much!

... would have really liked to have seen something with matchmaking or a new map or mech/item....

[Amisto]

No new content_ =( Darn was hoping to spend a lot more time playing Hawken, but tired of same maps.

List of things I was hoping for in order.


Nerf of the Grenade launcher - either rate of fire, damage, or ability to detonate manually.
Fix the bug of the assault rifle being perfectly accurate making SMC inferior.
New maps.

[Cpt_Kill_Jack]

I hope your talking about the rev-gl and not the regular grenade launcher.

[SirCannonFodder]

I think Spy says it best.

The map rotation thing is good, but I was kind of hoping this patch would fix more than one thing that actually mattered. Oh well, I guess being able to see something pretty before putting actual money down to be allowed to temporarily use it is nice too.

[ReachH]

thank you for map cycle tweak.

Uptown, Origin, Uptown, Bazaar, Uptown, Uptown was getting a little boring.

[PlanckZero]

Oh whoa, don't rush in with too many changes at once now or people aren't going to be able to handle all this awesomeness.

Oop aww got too hype over what I read on the forums. Thanks for the update devs!

[Coldbound]

Yup, got too hyped also. But seriously, you should fix emp, stunlock and matchmaking asap!
Thanks devs!

[NUCLEARSHARKHEAD]

Ah, map cycles are nice :  )

[ElRobo]

The only way this wouldn't be a big let down would be if it was clarified to say uptown is now removed from map rotation. That map suuuuucks. I hope you guys aren't saving bug fixes (explosions nulling movement) for actual content patches, this patch looks mostly like it doesn't need to happen ...immediatly. At least compared to all the other stuff people are mentioning in here. Low hanging fruit patch_

Uptown sucks_ GOD DAMNIT! I liked that map

[Tempurara]

Thanks very much.

Where are the fixes to matchmaking that we were specifically promised_ Where are the desperately-needed balance changes_ You guys are really pushing it. You've been extremely slow in addressing the extant problems, and you're failing to communicate any concrete goals or strategies with the player base. No one has any idea what you're doing or why, and a handful of mechs are completely dominating every match.

Matchmaking changes wouldn't need to be in a patch, they'd be server-side. Same could be said for balance changes. I'm not saying whether the changes will be made or not but they wouldn't necessarily be detailed in the notes of a patch.

Sometimes you don't announce changes like that with the specific intention of seeing whether anyone notices a difference or not. Or, it could just be that this is only a small patch with a bigger one on the way.

The possibilities are endless. That is of course until Adhesive actually tells us anything concrete.

[stallion]

well, map rotation in missile assault is cool, except we need more maps

[Linxix]

How about getting those advanced video options back_ the game once upon a time looked fantastic on my rig and now i wont even play anymore it just looks so bad without them.

[Zhas]

can't buy a Meteor Credits via PayPal-hellp

[cognos]

Map selection would be great. Or a possibility to open a server with a specific set of map which will rotate. I dont like to play Uptown and Origin anymore.
