It will be awesome if HAWKEN brings LAN support. We can conduct tournaments in our college.And it will be more fun. Please consider bringing LAN support ASAP please..

Sadly there isn't enough of an offline demand for this. Nor is there really any eSports $$$ behind Hawken as the competitive scene is very small. Not worth time to make offline LAN atm.

They aren't going to be able to monetize offline servers well, and I'd back them for keeping their servers online only.

If Reloaded make money, Hawken keeps being developed.

 

I like LAN games, but these days decent internet connections mean you can be on the same LAN end everyone still uses the server online.

I'm considering having a private server rental depending on price when it comes out.

Sorry OP. But I am afraid that REI is right. I wouldn't count on LAN access for a very long time, if ever at all.


"Nov8tr" is pronounced "INNOVATOR"

Yeah, it's too bad, the free-to-play model does not lend itself to client hosted servers, otherwise I might have volunteered for that mission to Mars.

It is not about the demand. This is a F2P game and the developers need full control over the profiles and servers so they can monetise things.
