Now I'm not sure if this has been talked about before, my memory is a bit hazy.

 

The idea is to completely redesign Hawken and turn it into a game like Planetside 2

Have Illal mapped out in all it’s glory, as a persistent open world that you have to fight over.

Three factions, Prosk, Sentium and independents, possibly with a Crion contingent. Game play would take place on foot, in Axe’s or in the air in battleships and drop ships.

There would be no wheeled land vehicles like tanks, just new and different mechs. Several new mech classes could be introduced, such as,  anti infantry mechs, anti aircraft mechs, personnel carrier mechs and a new D class four legged mech for heavy artillery.

You could play as infantry, with anti infantry and anti mech weapons. You could pilot any of the mechs we have now and any new ones that are introduced.  You could also fly a battleship or drop ship and man the turrets to give air support.

 

Can you imagine 100 mechs on the battlefield at the same time, while infantry run around taking shots at you and battleships fly over head shooting at you and each other?

 

I sight these pieces of concept art and the live action series trailer, below, as examples of how the game could look.

 

Just put a couple of big guns on it!

Obviously it couldn't be done at the moment. It would need a big Dev team and lots of money, but it would be awesome if it could be done in the future.

1. Too much work

 

2. Too much work

 

3. The game is legendary as-is, sure it needs some balancing and bug fixes, but it has it's own unique style, and that's the reason Hawken is the only game I really play.

Just play planetaside instead then. Hawken is fine and really the only fps i enjoy due to its mechanics.

Sorry to beat a dead horse, but this suggestion is unreasonable. In fact, this isn't even a suggestion, this is asking for another game entirely. As someone else said, if you want a Planetside 2 game, play Planetside 2... whatever that game is (Never played or seen it)

 

There would be no wheeled land vehicles like tanks, just new and different mechs.

 

No. No reasonable army will forgo decent ground support for just mechs and infantry. Speaking of...

 

 

Several new mech classes could be introduced, such as,  anti infantry mechs, anti aircraft mechs, personnel carrier mechs and a new D class four legged mech for heavy artillery.

You could play as infantry, with anti infantry and anti mech weapons. You could pilot any of the mechs we have now and any new ones that are introduced.  You could also fly a battleship or drop ship and man the turrets to give air support.

 

So, on the ground you have mechs and infantry. No middle ground. And you want anti-infantry mechs too? That's not good for balance and more or less make infantry less useful than what they would normally be. In these situations I tend to go off an idea brought forth by Front Mission 3, in which, while the tanks and ground units are not as useful as mechs, they prove to be adequate support. Eliminating wheeled vehicles just doesn't feel right.

Can you imagine 100 mechs on the battlefield

 

i can't imagine a PC, which needed to play in this! :D
it is probably never working even with my config without textures.

maybe in next life...
