PROJECT PHOENIX INITIATION CELEBRATION
It's time for this picture again.
"'The acquisition of the Hawken franchise to our new overlords (Reloaded Games) was finalized on March 13, 2015. There is currently a very small, very communicative, and very dedicated team working on breathing life into

I think this is a worthy cause to celebrate. It's been dubbed by a couple people as "Project Phoenix" and I want to get everyone back in the spirits we had at the First Annual Hawkeniversary Party.
The party will consist of continuous access to organized games and private servers for both EU and US timezones (and of course anyone else is welcome to attend), a Q and A session with capnjosh broadcast onto the official PlayHawken Twitch channel, and of course, Tigg's Hawken Hopeline Raffle.
So, like. Yeah.
It'll start at 8PM GMT for the EU side of things, and 9PM EST (to give all our West Coast friends some time to get home from work). The date of the event is Friday, April 3rd.
Like the last non-weekly event we had, you'll have the option to choose from multiple user based game modes:
Night of The Living Fred
A classic user defined gametype based on various "Zombies" modes found in other games. A deathmatch based variant, the game starts with a single player in a Fred Chassis CRT. Other players are allowed to play any other mech except predator, technician, or Fred himself. Other players are barred from repairing or using repair internals, though health orbs are allowed.
The Fred is only allowed to fire TOW rockets and can repair whenever he or she pleases. If you are killed by The Fred, you become one as well.
We will be disabling radar for this gametype.
Convoy
You've been tasked with transporting a large sum of cavorite from one base to another.
This variant is centered around a single brawler, doomed to stay in turret mode for the duration of the match. Each player gets one life, and each team is limited to strictly one tech or less. This is another variant without radar, and while one team's objective is to move their brawler from one point to another, the other team's objective is to stop it.
(In its current state, the attacking team almost always wins. Testing will occur this week in order to ascertain an appropriate balance.)
Alien VS Predator
Aliens: 1 Raider/G2 Raider and the rest scouts.
Predators: Predators and infiltrators. Any combination.
The predator team is allowed to repair, but cannot respawn. The alien (scout) team is allowed to respawn, but not repair. The scout team is allowed either one Raider or one G2 Raider as the alien queen. The queen can repair.
The predator's objective is to kill the queen and then mop up the scouts. Once the queen is destroyed, the scouts can no longer respawn.
If a predator/infil dies, they can respawn as a CRT (human), but can only use the assault rifle and cannot repair. They are technically aligned with the predator team, but the predators can destroy the humans at any point for their repair orbs. Humans cannot respawn either. (Friendly fire is enabled for this game mode).
Invincible
One incin per team. Five techs. Kill the enemy incin. Rinse, repeat.
Don't bother talking to your incin. It won't be able to hear you.
Monster
It's one mech versus six. The one gets a ludicrous amount of health.
