Last night, I was having a dream about playing Hawken.

 

But the mechs were actually only about 7-8" tall, and we were playing outdoors in a garden and on a patio.  We were using R/C remotes with view screens, so we could either look through the cockpit cam or from our own eyes.

 

And the mechanics and physics that Hawken had suddenly made so much more sense.  The reason they can skirt around, jump like squirrels and fly around like insects is because they are small and lightweight-ish.  Even the weapons suddenly made more sense, as they don't really, in the game, seems to cause any visible, physical damage, just splosions.

 

It was the most fun I've ever had playing Hawken.

This is why you don't HAWKEN before bed. That dream could've been so much worse, it could've been a rocketeer with hellfires that were actually effective.

I, myself have dreamt with Hawken before, especially with my Rocketeer. I don't care how much the special snowflakes in here despise and s.hits on it, I love it and the Domoff chassis design is one of the best in the entire game. Just look how beautiful it is :D

Plot twist: We all are just kids playing with our toys pretending to be fighting over the last resources on a dying planet.

I had a Hawken dream where I got to go test a new version of Hawken and there were people I could crush in game with mechs and destructable environment.

Hehe the irony.

They can cry all they want.  It was a brilliant and fun dream.

 

I honestly do believe that, even without it being 'in real life with R/C remotes, the game would be spectacularly fun presented as tiny battle mechs being played with in real world environments.  That one difference would do volumes to eliminate about 70% of the 'logic' and physics complaints folks have had and seriously reduce the amount of stress people have when they take the game too seriously.

 

And, imagine how much fun the developers could have with interactive parts of the environment!  Like, what if a cat went darting through the battle?  Or the sprinkler system comes on in the garden?  And indoor battles in a house... like in the 'playroom' with other toys that now seem enormous?

 

EDIT:  I did not play Hawken before bed last night.  In fact, I've only played Hawken twice in the last 6 months. (I know this makes me seem often unqualified to be posting some of my thoughts and opinions on it... but since it hasn't changed in years, I feel relatively justified.)

Extraordinary comparison!
They should have mentioned the scaling issue in some kind of introduction text :D

I had a dream about Hawken recently too.

 

Me and a few of the other regulars were standing around in our mechs on Bunker, and then Capnjosh suddenly showed up piloting a Technician. He struck up a conversation with us and he sounded really tired. He said something like: "it seems like all I seem to do is fix servers these days".

 

He asked us if we had any suggestions to improve Hawken, but we all stood around acting stupid instead of suggesting anything constructive. Eventually he sighed and left.

 

... I'm not even kidding, this is the actual dream I had. XD

I'm pretty sure I'm crazy, but sometimes as I'm walking down a street or in a car, I imagine that mechs burst out of the buildings and fight each other.
