Why should you play Hawken?  
 
Pilot Bergwein put together this great video that explains why you should be playing now! 
 
To get you started we're having a DOUBLE XP/HC stress test weekend! We've been trying out different server configurations to find the best choice for our Pilots. Jump on in and give it a try, it's free to play and available on Steam!

I really do not like to new bigger server. They take no skill, its kinda like "shoot anything that moves". Its has the potential to be really cool, its just kinda hard to coordinate in a pub server. Also it doesnt play like hawken should. And Jason Hughes said its supposed to be a balance between a fast past FPS mech game, and a tactical mech simulator. 

 

 

By the way Hawken is my favorite game, if it is a nornal 6v6 server.

I am also loyal and have been playing since it came out on steam, but new about it since it was realesed. 

 

P.S. when are the new mechs/maps coming out?

I've been playing on an 18 player, 20 minute, 60 kill match and loving it!  Enough players to keep you on your toes, but I think we generally hit the 60 kills with a lot of time left on the clock.  They've all been pretty close matches though!

 

Only thing, and not sure that it's much related to all of the new fun stuff, but it was taking a looooong time for my account to sync up after a few of the matches, with a total failure to sync after one requiring me to leave the match and come back to restore my garage.  I don't recall exactly which server it was, but it was in Oregon.

 

EDIT:  Okay, so after playing a lot this weekend, I think I've changed my mind.  The 25 (or whatever over 20 minutes they are) servers are killing my interest in the game.  I'm the last person that thought this would be the case.  Twenty minute matches are a bit more tolerable, and 10 minute matches seem too quick.  Maybe 15m would be my sweet spot to keep it interesting and fun, without being a HUGE commitment to playing a match.  

 

I'm not the type to leave a game mid-match, but the longer match times definitely have had me considering it on several occasions this weekend.  I've played almost 800 hours and never been bored, until now.  I literally can't bring myself to play more than one or two matches before I have a strong urge to take a break and do anything else.  Not sure if this is the proper place for the feedback, but there it is.
