I haven't played in about a month, and a double HC weekend might get me to start playing again.

Half Life 3 CONFIRMED
and some game named Hawken is going to get some updates too.

Honestly I'm just wondering when the Beta label is coming off. [HWK]enmen_

Do you mean Beta or Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeta_

[Ligeia]

I get the feeling you guys are trying hard to save Hawken by striking up a deal with someone or something, and nothing is set in stone, but there might still be a chance in hell that it works. If that's why you're being so quiet, then I totally understand, and I'd do the same.

I wish you the best of luck, as I've had a lot of fun with this game and I really hope it becomes an active game again. Especially since I was super hype since I saw the preview for it and hyped it from Alpha onwards.

Looking forward to seeing updates again. And thank you Hughes. Really.

From what I know (after visiting Adhesive earlier today) they're working on a genitalia update for all mechs. The current holdup is the massive scale of the genitals on the scout and how that will affect boosting (plus your standard geometry issues w/maps).

From what I could see, they've gotten most done... sadly techs will be eunuchs.

[Barbie_in_a_Mech]

The current Hawken lacks crowd control abilities.  The addition of genitals should open new opportunities.
A well aimed shot for a momentary immobilisation...  or a melee snatch-the-balls-and-throw-them-away followed by "Go fetch!"
Perhaps even a new game mode.

Thank you for telling us what's up.

I wasn't supposed to say... but YES, you're correct about the crowd control (special sauce). Also,there's various 'size' upgrades purchasable w/ HC.

Least of many people's worry or concerns but some new Mech Cosmetics would be great

[GalaxyRadio]

I really like to see a Mech for Hand Battle, for guys like me, who cant aim very well I dont care if its a Katana, Battleaxe or something else, but please give us some scary mechs for real QCQ.

Kind Regards,

Fire your FLAK at point-blank, there you go, you have a melee weapon!

[spo0n]

You can press F with the incinerator, and then you explode all over everyone.

[GalaxyRadio]

Haha Meraple, with Flak i have to aim as well, my accuracy is something around 30% with the Big Flak and 45% with Tow. Iam done before i can kill anyone with that. Even with good Movement iam dead, because it took me too long to aim and land a hit.

Yeah i know Spoon, but i dont want to take every time Inci to rumble the battlefield. It's like cheating, i dont like it anymore. Sometimes i go with inci, if i don't want too lose a close game, because the enemy use that mech with tech+grenadier combo and the inci pilot is good, so i force the win, but it dosn't feel that way. So if i loose a fight againts A-Class picking on me, and if i ramping my PPA to max going near and Smash him with that, it feels pretty much shameless.....

Its like to use a nuclear bomb, if nothing works...

Kind Regards,
Galaxy Radio

It might be nice if the Raider had Ramming damage.

I can't tell you how many times I've had one run into me by accident after hitting the 'F' key.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a new map, mech, and perhaps a game mode (Siege 2.0_) be what the team comes back with once this back end work has been completed.

then i really don't understand this secrecy, if it will be just a standard content

here's hoping it's beautifully non-standard then, eh_
i really gotta get on this place more often. i love the game too damn much not to come to the forums xP

a melee style mech coming in mayyyybe_ that'd be an interesting turn of events. if not too disadvantaged at range

I always find Dev's communicating with their games community interesting.

On one hand Dev's want to give away as little as possible, keep things under wraps until they are dead cert, so as not to upset people by missing deadlines.  This is a sensible business practice, under promise and over deliver. Anyone with a job that sets targets and objectives will appreciate this one.

On the other hand the community have a thirst / passion / psychotic craziness (delete as appropriate) for news about a game they love and/or are heavily invested in.


As a player from the start of open beta (February 2013 i think) my thoughts on this are as follows......

1.  The Dev's communication of updates are far too specific, and therefore too infrequent, leading to wild speculation and the community splitting into 2 camps (the Rage monsters and the Dev apologists).

We don't want/need to know the exact date of the next update, or the exact new mech or map in the works.




Of course right now I'd take anything new.

too new on the forums to be in either camp, but I definitely agree. I don't care when it is coming, so long as it is coming. I've been coming in for daily wins then going to RIFT (my own fault for making myself too necessary to my guild) just to save my HC for new mechs
(maybe something they could bring in would be a way of converting HC to MC, for those of us who have college debts and can't really afford to spend as much as they'd like on the game )

[SoldierHobbes11]

If we really want more content, why don't we as the community make the assets ourselves_ It would save Adhesive half the work and they could focus a bit more on the back end work of the game. Valve does this with TF2. They take community submissions for assets and implement the ones they like into the game while focusing more of their own efforts on the balancing and back end work.
