GDC may be over, but there’s still the clean up operation to be performed. Discarded bits of news lay strewn across the show’s floor, waiting for us to scoop them up and put them on their digital shelf. What’s that in the corner? A burnt-out mechanical husk – misshapen and trampled by excited IGF nominees – informing us that Nvidia’s APEX demo featured a Hawken map that utilised the destruction tech in multiplayer. Let’s scan it’s sparking memory banks to see if… yes! A video! [Phil savage]
Despite its late arrival to consoles, HAWKEN is the best mech shooter on the market, even rivaling some of today’s most popular shooter franchises
Eh, I thought this game was dead in the water. Might check it out when I knock out more of my backlog.
Love this game. One of the best PC exclusives for a while. It's about time console gamers got a piece of this. Enjoy.
A quick heads up to anybody about to play this on PS4, beware of "Neif", its small, its nimble, and shoots homing missiles, its free for PSN+ subscribers, and I entered too many matches where just 1 or these mechs just dominated and blew out entire teams.
Now whenever I play, I keep seeing 2 to 3 neifs being used per match especially on Seige Mode.
I eat neifs for breakfast with the assault.

They are not that scary if you know specifically what they are capable of. Definitely don't try to stand toe to toe with them when they activate rapid fire and don't cluster to closely even when your holding a line. Your giving away triple kills when you do that.
I use Raider, 1 on 1, they cant mess with me but whenever theres two I activate Raiders boost ability and lose them with speed. And hang back and flank, once repaired.
I'm trying to get the raider, myself. Just got the scout last night. I'm getting bored with the the assault and the neif and I never really liked the recruit or the berserker.
Good luck, now Im currently grinding to unlock the G2 raider. 17,000 more Hawken credits to go.
This week on Fantastic Neighborhood, Jon plays Titanfall and Fred Returns to a new and improved Hawken in a mech heavy epispde.
In Gameclub they recant their playthroughs of The Walking Dead – Season 2: Episode 2 and discover that maybe they are not ok with sending an 11 year old out on suicide recon and intel missions.
In the Community section, Harold writes in to tell the hosts how wrong they are.
Hawken is a multiplayer mech shooter, which is currently still in the early access phase on Steam. On release, publisher Meteor Entertainment demanded money for the game. Just a few days after the release the game went free to play.
Awesome, been wanting to try this, Only recently built my own PC so would love to try it out with this game.
This is really gonna put Hawken way over the top.
Already a fun game but with the added Destruction Hawken is now gonna be amazing.
The destruction brings a whole new feel and gameplay to the table to really immerse a gamer in battle. Can't wait until this is implemented into the game full time.
