Trying to see where Hawken is best discovered.

None of the above. I wanted to see if there was a good mech combat game out last year and so I googled armored core and their youtube video came up. I signed up for alpha and the rest is history.

Ok. I will add a search engine option

Google. Love at first page

I have my GTX 550 Ti, so I was updating drivers on the Nvidia website, and while I was updating, I perused the website, and lo and behold, and advertisement for Hawken.  Clicked it, and after a minute, I knew I was hooked.  Made an account, downloaded, and here I am.

Actually, I was a bigtime Skitscape fan. He liked a Hawken video, and I watched it.

The rest is history, and here I am.

i think it was a closed beta invite from the alienware newsletter_  that sounds right to me, but i'm not sure what category that would fall under.  i'm going to vote 'advertisement' for now.

How I heard about it is not on the list. I heard about it from a tv network called g4 that no longer exists. When I heard about it, it had to be almost a year, almost year and a half before alpha stage. Back when MWO was just a rumor. Back before there was this forum

Nope, still found it through google. You fail, good by

I really don't know. I saw the trailer somewhere and ended up checking out their website way back when it was just a single page with their logo on it and an announcement date.
I do know that I waited something like 6 months for their first gameplay trailer. Everything before that was just environment trailers with no mechs.

You could have found it in a similar fashion as me.

I haven't had TV since 2007, so I doubt that. I never really watched G4 anyways.

I chose "other social networks" because I was playing Defiance at this moment when someone posted something in the Defiance forums . I take a look on his profile and read about the games he was playing. Was curious about this thing "Hawken" and tried it.

[FakeName]

nVidia was posting cool screenshots on Facebook of an unknown game which is called Hawken. I signed up and was r eady to play at 12.12.2012.

From magazine. It was in development, not even alpha version. This year I just remembered and typed "hawken" in google.

[heartofdarkness]

Found Hawken after accidentally coming across MMOBOMB.COM, saw the game, been here ever since...

[DDwarrior]

Pretty sure I found it either from youtube (Totalbiscuit,MMOBOMBER) or PC Gamer magazine.
