Whats the story on the levitating boulders and rocks_

Cavorite, the material that makes your mechs light enough to boost and dash. HAWKEN: Genesis has the full lore behind it. We'll also be adding more backstory to the maps in coming days.

I am a sucker for backstory. Can never get enough.

This truly reminds me how lucky we are to have this game... and for free_ It doesn't make sense.

Naaa, you are doing it wrong

The map looks awesome, indeed. It's gonna be a pleasure to play on it.

Just a suggestion.:
Also I find posting the minimap is one more nice and useful touch in the preview post. We should have minimap pictures of every map in the game to, for example, organize strategies and tactics. Read clans here as well.

Definitely an outstanding work, guys there at AG. Congrats!

[TerranCmdr]

Shhhhhh, they might catch on.

[SilentJacket]

can they add more emphasis to the floating rocks, maybe some huge levitating pillars of stone around the outskirts_

Who am I kidding... MORE COLOSSAL FLOATING PILLARS!

Is that some kind of reactor exhaust port or something_ (the yellow glowing thing) Looks cool imho.

[ropefish]

does anyone know what the red glowing ring in the middle of the original test map on the bottom level was___

btw i agree, the map is absolutely amazing. i still don't understand why this is f2p with graphics like this

Wow, very impressive work by your artists for sure. Can't wait for this to go live. Front Line is an awesome map and the art work looks even better on Facility... Kudos!

If there's a hole in the ceeling i think it's the place that will be lightened.

By the way, i want those new camos so bad. My money is already prepared.

I really wish we had more accessible graphics options. I'd love to be able to keep models and texture settings on ultra, without having to deal with the stupid fog/smoke effects that only serve to hinder you. So far the best compromise I've been able to find is keeping the graphics on Medium/Medium (I've tried turning the texture detail to ultra, but it doesn't seem to change anything) with bloom turned back on and DoF/Film Grain turned off. The new map looks beautiful, but I just know it won't look nearly as good because of the settings I have to use.

A good example of a game that provides you with a lot of performance/graphics options is Serious Sam 3. It even divides the settings between what is handled by your CPU or GPU, allowing you to tweak the game for the best possible performance.

It's where the AA whould have been if it had been a Siege map_ That's what the hole in the ceiling is for, shooting out the AA missile.
