We're going to have to kill Hawken...before it kills us!

They're stealing our playbook, I think we need to take our mechs and meet them on neutral ground (say...MW:Tactical Command? Apparently they're not using it ).
Let's settle this once and for all, before my wallet dies (again).

There used to be an old arcade game that used mechs that used two joysticks. I used to enjoy playing it even though it was faster paced than mechwarrior.
I think both sticks forward were not just forward but with afterburner. It took some time getting used to the controls but a fast paced game like hawken would probably benefit from a two joystick controller.
thank goodness I'd rather play battle tech with my mouse and keyboard.

Some people liek the Artemsi better, some liek the Mek Fu better. Most don't like them both.
As do I.
besides of that: MWO is a tactical simulation. Hawken is just another FPS but with big *** battle suits. i don't see one of the mstealing many players from the other.

Exactly. This is like comparing GTA to Forza based on the fact that both have cars in them.

I think the game was called "Virtual On"

Two games start development.
These two games have something in common in a landscape barren of their common premise (Multiplayer First Person Giant Robots).
Fans of these games notice similarities.
Fans start feeling threatened that someone else has the audacity to copy their chosen franchise.
Cue fans of both sides denouncing each other over little things like "generic run and gun" or "no skill laserboats", despite never having the opportunity to try both.
Who loses? Fans of the PC Multiplayer Giant Robots genre.

I agree here - to the younger generation of gamers there seems to be more appeal in games that are defined by instant gratification and minimal investment: fast paced action that is 'pick up and play' - a design philosophy which has clearly influenced the creation of Hawken . By definition, Mechwarrior is far from this - it takes time to understand your 'mech - time to understand the battlefield: 'mech warfare is deliberate and calculated and not inherently accessible from the get go. That is to say, we aren't going to be attracting the tens of millions CoD does, but then again, who wants trash in the MWO community?
