Shamelessly cross-posting from /r/Hawken:
Web developer: "Okay, so what is this mech good at?"
Designer: "Defense!"
W: types it in "Okay, what else is it good at?"
D: "... Right now?"
W: "Yes."
D: Glances at gameplay testers
Gameplay tester: "I really like turtle mode."

Is the Civ firing the SABOT and cracks in the portrait photoshopped or is that for real?

Dead serious. I still have residual cringes from it when I saw it pop up on hestoned's stream for the first time.

Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.

Why mech game make when you no mech game have you don't want to make?

They better get a move on; At this rate Howken will die before they get through the rest of ADH's old assets.

I just don't understand how are they not bothered by this? Do they really expect to be taken seriously when they can't even present their goods accurately? And to think they even hope to earn money out of this! It's misleading even, people will buy mechs, expecting that civ to be a sniper, only to find out they were misinformed. By the developers themselves.
It's like watching a tragicomedy.

Hang on, the G2 CIV has Sabot and Slug? WTF is the point of that- did they forget we already have the SharpShooter? I'd hate to think what useless or OP ability it has.

The amount of effort Reloaded appears to be putting into this game is kinda poor. Even with the setbacks they've had, I'd expect a bit more than that.

There are goofy mobile games with more polish than Howken.

I subscribe to that philosophy for Hawken as a game.
I have a hard time applying it to maintaining a professional website.
I may lack the context to have the same perspective someone at Reloaded does, but the inconsistencies on the Hawken website seem basic and obvious. Every potential Hawken player will end up at that website somehow if they want to play this game, and those numerous inconsistencies kind of convey a "meh whatever, here's the goods" tone. When I go somewhere for a service - a restaurant, a mechanic, a barber, whatever - I'm not going to think highly of whatever they're selling if they greet me with dismissive wave at the mess in the corner and a shrug. They don't seem to care. Why should I? Yeah, this game is a product, but it's an online one, and a beta at that. Ongoing work in that context might as well be service. Them being chill bro with leaving those inconsistencies up on their Internet billboard for a month or two is a little lol.
Without knowing anything about their pipline, I think of it like this. Instead of putting bullet holes in an icon (I swear I saw this somewhere), maybe put that effort to updating obsolete mech portraits to reflect their current loadouts. The infil portrait shows an AR, the hover shows a EOC. I'm sure that's just lack of development pipeline oversight - I doubt the person who makes the artwork/images is the person who coordinates the website - but that's poor online presence hygiene. It's like they just stopped caring and let it all grow out, you know?
Edit: okay, all that said, I still want them to bring performance enhancements to PC over maintaining their website.

I'm sure that greatly depends on who you talk to. For a game that's been in BETA as long as Hawken, it has passed the point of anything being "forgivable" for me.. Anymore, I just try to find the humor in it all as I sit back and observe what is turning into the video game equivalent of gawking at "Ruins Photography".
EDIT: To clarify, I've reached the point where there's nothing to "forgive", I just expect nonsense like this or nothing at all.

Ah, so they can't be bothered to fill in the text fields, and the pictures of mechs they use have the incorrect weapons displayed.

A little insight here - when designing the new Mechs, we were on a tight schedule. We actually had to go through not just one, but two approval processes. And once something is approved by Microsoft or Sony, we can't make changes to it.
Unfortunately, the Xbox build was approved way prior to the Playstation build, and while we had strings set up on launch day, there was no physical way to change the strings. It's not as simple as 'editing a file' and 'pushing a patch', it requires a long, tedious, and sometimes expensive patch to correct on a console platform. And all of it is subject to an approval process.
I can understand the frustration of seeing this, because we were frustrated too after seeing it. After pushing it live, however, we can't just take something away that people spent money on that was functional in every way other than a description - given our situation, how would you handle it? We feel we made the best option given the circumstance.
Below is the description, in case you're wondering. This will be in a future update.
The 36M Mech was the ultimate tunnel drilling machine in its heyday. Once outfitted with 2 large drills, the 36M tunneled through the hardest of ore mines. With the majority of mines depleted and remaining resources often fought over. The 36M were transformed into war machines, with its natural ability withstand the rotation speed of drills, the 36M was retrofitted with powerful dual rotary cannons. "These things were once used to shred through huge mountains. Imagine all that power focused onto something much smaller, shredding through Mechs. I would hate to make the mistake of being in its crosshair, but by the time I figure that out, I fear it would be too late." - F.L. Anderson

The punctuation doesn't make much sense to me.
My English isn't great but isn't this much better?

Okay, from start to finish...
http://www.thefreedi...ry.com/tunneled
First correction: It's more of an armor vs armour sort of British-English sort of deal. It doesn't matter if you use 'tunnelled' or 'tunneled' (the latter is proper in some parts of the world.)
The second one is missing a comma instead of a period and is not phrased incorrectly. On console UIs, it will be pretty hard to find the error as periods and commas look almost identical.
The third one is a nice catch. I've corrected that internally, probably won't be in the next console build though.
The last correction is subjective. "You're in my crosshair." implies a singular crosshair context. Either way, it's a quote, and thus cannot be corrected if that's what the person said.
PS: Did you know one of the messages on the visor screen when first spawning into a match has one of the letters cut off due to missing a space at the beginning of the line? We've corrected that too.
