There used to be a thread about someone who was pretending to be able to run some old versions of hawken and including me, many were interested to see it happening... But what happenned to that thread? I tried finding it with tags and search tool in this forum but all my efforts were in vain.

Anyone know?

Well... if you had a copy of the old maps, you probably could play them by opening them via command lines. I use to mess around in the old training area (the desert like one instead of the vr one) to find hidden areas, but most of the ability to do that was removed by the devs. A lot of the command lines were removed, so it made it impossible to do. There was actually quite a bit hidden in the desert tutorial. There was a moving target gun range as well as an elevator to take you down into a room that would eventually have been for you to 1v1 the ai in. Eventually this turned into the arena area where you fought the multiple mechs and drones (which was a test for the co-op bot battles I'm pretty sure).

 

I didn't save any video or screenshots, cause was under the NDA at that point, but it's still interesting none the less. To my knowledge though, the way the game worked back then, each map had the entire gamemode baked into it. That would allow you to play the older maps and older version of the game modes (like siege with 3 points and the kamikaze siege ships), though it wasn't a server, so you could only play it as yourself.

Another interest fact. Current hawken have max detailmode=2 even on ultra-settings. If you change it to 4 (or higher) by using game .ini files, you may see many hidden/old decorations on some maps, which not affect on gameplay (bullets fly through these objects)

The older maps don't work right on clients of a different version. I don't know the details, eyes probably knows what's up.

I do have this still, though...

IIRC, someone from ADH once said that the early OB builds were not even around anymore.  If that is true, Ash may have one of the few repositories of the earlier versions still around

Correction, looks like a full name to me.
