It looks like an ok game, I just don't like mech games that use that "boost skating" feature. I prefer the movement mechanics in games like the MW series or chromehounds.

[PR3D4TOR]

Hawken looks like smaller mechs, almost like Heavy Gear. MW has larger more cumbersome mechs. I like both types.

I like the big walking battle mechs, the jump-n-shoot stuff of Hawken looks more like the bunny hoppers from FPS game.  The graphics were quite impressive, but I will hold out for MW Online.   

I'm really looking forward to hopping in to a Federated Sun or Northwind Highlander marked Warhammer (WMR-8D variant).   

[PR3D4TOR]

Sadly the chances we'll ever see a Warhammer or any of the other "unseen" Robotech-licensed mechs ever again are... virtually nil.

Yeah I'm looking forward to MWOL. I will have to find a merc corp that will use a scout as a scout instead of using them as just bait all the time.

My first impression of Hawken is it may not have the depth you get customizing your mech like you have in MW.  I may check it out though, still looks like it might be fun.

hawken shouldnt be called mechs. make it mecha and ill feel better

I don't know. The Warhammer'ish lookalike mech they used in the promo video caused an immediate cease and desist order by Harmony Gold USA (owners of the Robotech franchise). IGN even had to take down the video. When FASA went under so did their licensing rights for the Robotech models.
