It looks good to me. I've never played any of this series. Shooting large, hulking metal mech robots might be satisfying, if a little simplistic. What do you think?

im in the hawken beta right now... i guess ill go see what the differences are
I've been in the MWO beta for a few months now but couldn't talk about even being in said beta due to the rather strict NDA. Now that it's in open beta I can talk about it a little bit.
The game is awesome.
Just downloaded the game, definetly brinsg back mechwarior memories, ran good and looked nice.
I might have to dust of the old sidewinder joystick, hopefully it still works.
My 5 and 7 yeard old boys are going to be estatatic seeing it.
It's pretty impressive, lumbering about in those giant tin cans, dispensing death and destruction. The environments are great, ditto sound and visual design.
It's surprisingly difficult to get used to because the controls are unique (I play with mouse and keyboard, is joystick even enabled yet?) and I'm finding all the stats a bit of a chore to stay on top of. It seems to me that the game is a form of rock-paper-scissors in which, to win, you need to master spreadsheets-worth of weapon damage and defenses data. This seems a bit tedious to me but I will soldier on in the hope that it becomes less like homework.
Anyone care to compare and contrast MWO with Hawken?
Phew this beta is crazy! Never played anything of this type before. Can see it being very addictive.

I like the Hawken beta more. That's all I can say at this point.
2+ month bump but I've noticed two months is a long time in this game.
Anybody playing this? I just picked it up yesterday and I'm having a blast even though I'm getting whomped super hard.
We should start friending each other and stuff.
