Hello gamers,

 

I played back when still in beta and left ~couple of years ago when the game hit money troubles and player based collapsed. I notice plenty of salt in the forums (which suggests to me that the game isn't stagnant).

 

Is the PC version still playable as in there are enough people on to get  a match or should I migrate to the console version?

 

I always liked the game concept and enjoyed playing the earlier Meteor version of the game. Worth returning to at all?

The PC version is still around. If you left as Adhesive went silent on us, then the game is likely at the same update point that it was when you left.

 

We have new devs now, Reloaded Games. The PC version has enough players to find you a match within 30 seconds at peak times. 

 

An update will be dropping soon for the PC edition, which, for the first time in HAWKEN history, managed to piss off everyone at once. The consoles launched with this patch.

 

The list of amazing features include:

 

 - More limiting Customisation! Now your mechs can't look cool no matter how much money you throw at the screen!

 - Limiting of Items and Internals! Now you'll be forced to play along the same style as the "scary good" play testers! That's right, you can't change anything! :D

 - Limiting of Primary weapons! Each mech now has only one primary weapon availiable! Woohoo! 

 

 - G2 Mechs are now direct upgrades of their G1 counterparts! :D Vertical progression at it's finest!

 - A Mech with Dual Seekers and an OP ability that can only be purchased through real money! 

 - All the mechs have had their stats tweaked for no good reason! Whoopee!

 

And much much more! 

 

It's probably not worth migrating to the console version. Play the current PC version while you can - it's in the best state the game's been in for quite a while, and in the best state that it'll be in in the upcoming months.

Thanks. Yeah I was playing when  Adhesive left. Thanks for the info. I will check in this weekend and give it go.
