Chill out guys, I'm sure they're working on the patch with all their might, they might have more to do today than to post a simple teaser. :-p

Given the slow pace of development and previous patch time I would say if a picture appears it will be after 2pm PST. Still waiting for a reason to install Hawken again.

Checking this thread for updates has started to become an addiction. I've been checking every hour since waking up this morning.

Come on!! Come on!! ahem......  thanks cant wait!

Dodging around your opponent will now annoy them even more than before.

And it's gonna be fun as hell to do it.

I don't really see the point of the fall damage reduction since you can avoid it pretty easily without it, but I still love this feature.

Not sure why anyone would ever select no fall damage when they could get a speed boost or a air dodge.

You need to add something to the fall damage mod for it to be viable.
Suggestion: Add immunity to personal fall damage, but increase  the fall damage you deliver(+100%).

I'm worried that these internals may make Hawken into a class based shooter. Why can't the game be more arena focused_

To my understanding, different internals will "cost" different numbers of internal slots. For example, the air compressor could take 4 slots, and the shock coils only 2.

It already increases crushing damage indirectly.  The damage you deal for landing on someone is based on your falling speed, so that would allow you to land at full speed without hurting yourself.  Also, hovering to slow your fall reveals you to radar, so the shock coil should actually make you stealthier to radar when falling while also saving a little time and fuel.  Not a lot, but it should help.

Also, from what we've seen, the shock coil doesn't take up a lot of space, so you would still have plenty of room for bigger internals.

because arena shooters are incredibly trite

[MrShade_]

No fall damage could potentially be useful if you are sneaking up on someone and you want to avoid having to boost before landing, thus showing up on radar.

Or if you are trying to make a quick escape from a higher level and are low on health, you can avoid having to boost and loose any momentum/fuel.

Edit: warlordz beat me to it.
