did you like the games mec assault?

[BoB Dolen]

Looks damn nice.

But still waiting on the new mechwarrior personally.

So I'll be playing my crysis mechwarrior mod till then

[Zclipse]

Looks pretty sick.

For as much as I love Mech warrior this looks like an inferior substitute. Like Halo + being taller. No class variation. No weapon variations.

It's still in development, but not having any weapon/mech options when it's released would be super lame.

is it made by valve? duh dum ching.

I saw this on Reddit. It's an indie game made by a handful of people in 9 months, so the textures and design are really top notch considering (and it's just a very early alpha).

Worth noticing is the amazing sound design. I myself always get annoyed by the constant reuse in video games and movies of sound effects (even TF2, the holiest of games, uses these stock sounds that are easy for trained ears to pick out). Hawken uses all in-house sound effects made by one foley artist. The result is really impressive, and based on that alone I'm quite excited for this game.

If thats alpha then the finish product should be amazing
