Hey all! It's been nearly 2 years since I've played hawken (it got too addictive actually). I'm finally taking a peek into it again since a new company owns Hawken now.
Just curious, what's changed on the PC side?

Nothing of significance.
Maybe faster syncing times, a lot of broken accounts. Kind of it.

Well, we DID lose some player base, the game was acquired by reloaded, there is a console version now (no x-platform support)
But anything you wish they would have fixed back then is just as broken now.
Man I love this game. :D
What's the big fuzzy bunnyng deal? Lots of amazing people have committed suicide, and they turned out alright.

AWS gone, lots of server chop on the new servers, when Josh did 'something' about 1.9 yrs ago
Did I say Call Me Ishmael?
You should call me Luna.
So the same bugs on Front Line still exist? ROFL!
All I can see is a few new mechs and of course the console players. [rant]Why would anybody play on a console? Saw a few youtube videos w/ PS4 gameplay and they are SOO SLOW compare to a mouse!!![\rant]
The mechs look meh though, nothing different, just a mish mash of abilities with the same weapons as other mechs (not bad, but I hope there are more diverse mechs in the future).
But thanks Reloaded! I'd much rather have this game keep living, even if there were no updates.

acquired by reloaded
build system switched to teamcity
upgraded from actionscript 2 to actionscript 3
servers tinkered with/relocated
console builds ported
win10 build pipeline initiated, not released? (citation needed)
hawken hell breaks loose
czero5 quells loose hell
progress is made on content release
progress proves to be....less interesting then realistically hoped
o right, cant forgot, steam build pipeline is still in a state of stasis/limbo
and database mayhem

Hey um I wan't to clarify something, did the prestige and alternate weapons get removed?
If so, WHY!!!!!???? That's terrible! I love the fact you could change mech weapons, it adds more diversity.

thats exactly what the hell breaking loose i mentioned was about, alas czero5 quelled that by saying their initial plan of unique and locked mech builds (including weapons, items, and internals) is falling through and breaking apart, however the terminology "prestige" and "alternate" weapons will also be leaving i think
you can look forward to more customization returning though, and cpu platform customization isnt going anywhere as of yet

I hope it returns. If the new devs ditched customization as much as I'm hearing now, that's going to be a game breaker for me. Bye bye hawken.
I might play it in a few weeks just to see how everything is working out.

I mean playing Hawken in a few weeks will amount to playing the same game as you would play right now. Nothing indicates that PC Hawken will be updated this year.

Oh, I thought they were porting it already.
Good then, I get to play with my Vulcan Zerker and Heat scout! I miss those mechs.

Just listen to what war is good for.
Nothings changed with the game as a whole, just a bunch of background things here and there. Reloaded is still working on the pc build but they did release an updated Hawken for both consoles. If you want to play an updated version then your going to have to wait more, unfortunately.
Hold on to the things you care about most, even if others see it as insignificant..If you can't be true to yourself, are you really living?

Never ! Ever ! ....Only thing this guys is qualified for is a clown in a circus..and that's exactly what we will have, Bozo the Clown in charge.
But I digress...getting off topic here.
Basically:
Server tweaks - minor improvement
Console version released - nothing relevant to PC players, except...
Gave good servers to console version; PC servers suck now
Broke half of the PC users accounts - still yet to fix
Already dwindling PC playerbase dwindles further
well...
umm...
umm...
but yeah, one thing that happened is that i think people accepted...
this may take awhile...

C'mon guys, this is the Hawken forums, we don't need politics to rip apart this community, on top of the efforts of the devs.
Also, DieselCat, Trump is actually qualified, just like everyone else born in the U.S. over the age of 35.

Please don't discuss politics everyone.
Thanks.
Now I will discuss politics.
dont take anything away from this post. it's bad luck.
I like going against the best of any game I play. Helps you in the long run n motivates u to do more. Always room for improvement not failure

FIRST OFF WHAT THE FUZZ IS A "SHILL"

I mentioned I was getting off topic...
and you must truly be naive
If anything is gonna happen it should happen this month. Typically November is the best month for gaming sales and promotions. I don't know if Hawken PC will be able to stick around for another fiscal year if it keeps going on like this.

Especially with other mech games just around the corner: https://heavygear.com/
I've been a alphaish tester of Heavy Gear and while game creation is a bit slow ATM, they have what it takes to make a really cool mech simulator/arcade game. Maybe competition for Hawken?

Competition is always a good thing, it promotes growth and actually makes what you are doing better.

Yeah but competing with Hawken is like deciding you're gonna beat the neighbourhood kids at tetherball. I mean, good for you if you do I guess, but there are probably better things to do as a grown-ass man.
Set sights higher's what 'm sayin'
LAWL!!!!
i stopped playing tetherball when the kids beat me....
derp

Competition, I would think if they are serious about their business investment, might make them step up their game and do it right.
