Hawken
I was part of the Alpha and Closed Beta (which finished last week) and just wanted to let you know about the game. The Open Beta will be starting on the 12th of December.
It's not too shabby and has come a long way since the first release. They still have issues with balance - a level 20 can dominate against a bunch of level 4's and team's get unbalanced quickly. Otherwise the mechanics are good and the ability to customize your mech's abilities, armor, upgrades and weapons are nice. Load times are quite fast as well. My 4 year old PC can handle everything at Max without issue. No gamepad controls yet - much to the chagrin of Nuts Jr because I'd probably let him play this one... no blood or guts.
