Saw the very first trailer video they released in 2011 and I signed up for Alpha testing.
Same here. I fell in love with it the minute the first trailer went public.

I first read about Hawken on Gamespot and saw the ADH/Meteor presentation at E3. I registered for the closed Alpha and became a member on 9/18/12...Have been here ever since, never left..even through the 'Dark Period' I still played.

I played it at Gamescom 2012 and was instantly hyped. Still got that poster they handed out to a few pilots :D
I registered for alpha, but my computer wasn't powerfull enough at that time. From february 2014 on I was finally able to play Hawken.

How did I find Hawken? Fred.
Saw an article in a PC gamer mag, about this Mech style game. Love/Hate memories of Mechwarrior came back, things I loved, the slow, tedious, anal gameplay I just... didn't click with.
I had seen many console Mech games.... Armored Core, Some Titanfall stuff... But this Hawken.
A funny looking mech, that looked like a refrigerator!! Kinda cute!
The graphics looked pretty good too, and the article talked about the smooth, fast gameplay.
heck, how could you NOT want to pilot a mech as cute as Fred? that did it.

Fred came to me in a dream and whispered sweet nothings in my ear with a Point-D Vulcan.

I read this comic pretty regularly back then. Saw this, read the rant about it. Found youtube videos and it was free? It was all clear after that.
So after digging up my email, I think I've been around since 17/12/12.

I just googled "best free-to-play games" or something like that, most results were "top 10 free games" and the games on the lists were mostly generic FPS and generic RPGs, but one of those mentioned Hawken and showed a screenshot, I was like "that can't be a screenshot, it looks way too good for a free game", but it was! and I've always loved mechs so I downloaded it instantly.
By accident, was doing a search on fps type games. Saw it in the list so I you tubed it and fell in
.
June 2013, I had just busted my ankle and was laid up for the entire summer. While checking out the Nvidia website, on my new laptop, I found a trailer for the game. I got hooked instantly, and while healing up, I started to make plans for a new gaming rig. I spent a year saving up and collecting components for my new rig, and when it was completed, I went to my steam account and installed this game first. Been playing constantly for almost two years now...

These were some more of the 2012 E3 reviews and videos I found, some of which lead me to Hawken.

From nvidia's official webpage. Can't remember the real reason why I went there though
. But anyways, curiously I made an account, downloaded, and started playing during the 1st or 2nd month of open beta, way before steam release.
I don't have any other mech related games so why not and I'm kinda fan of district 9/transformers with weird guns and robot/mech movies
