I play both games, but I play MWO 95% more. Both games are fun but different. But only one game is MechWarrior. The other is UT2003.

Agree 100%.. nothings gonna maul MWO, they ruined themselves and there's not much to maul anyway.

Really feel sorry for the rusted on people, they deserved better, it's quite pitiful.. it reminds me of someone sitting next to a dead decaying person, thinking that they are tired, and will wake up soon, and rage at anyone that tells them different..

There's going to be much spoken about how MWO died, the incompetence of devs, the greed of the publisher, the community, etc... everyones gonna walk away with the same view from now till then.. But all that's left now is for PGI and IGP to string this along as long as they can and get as much $$$ as they can before announcing bust.

They had a great vision, just like all of us, we can have the wildest imaginations.. But when it came to delivering, the reality is they don't have what it takes.. Bass fishing was probably their peak as game makers.

People off to play Hawken, PS2, Far Cry, all the real games.. the final death rattle of MWO is at hand.

Remember the mantra.

"PGI lied MWO died."

Uhm, people will flock to this game when it's in Final Release. We're funding PGI everyday.

The game has already reached the public. The people who wanted to try MWO, have already done so and ran away like frightened schoolgirls...

So games reach their peak population during a Beta? That's new to me.

If you can suggest a medium on which we can wager over, I am happy to wager $1000USD that this game will be dead by july 2013. If by miracle they can turn this around, I'm more than happy to lose the bet.

This would depend on your defintion of dead.

I fully think the BT fanbase is insane and hardcore enough to keep MWO limping on for many, many years to come.

Im not the big MW fan, I played couple games with mechs in the past (MW2 Mercenaries) so IP was known to me, nothing more.

So I gave a fair shot at both, Hawken and MWO without any bias.

MWO came on top. Hawken was boring as hell after ~ 10 games. nothing new, same weapons, little choice, and pure fps feeling made it quite meh rly fast.

If i had to choose my fps game Black Ops 2 would win with hawken without second thought. Good thing MWO is totally different kind of game than BO2.
And thats a big advantege ( market wise) atm.

Also, small but dedicated player base (which mwo got already just becouse of setting) is ALWAYS a good thing. (Eve online anyone ?)

It's on!

Mechgames are useless if mechs dont feel like .. well mechs.. the only game giving me the feeling to pilot a giant robot thingy is MWO. Hawken is just another FPS. They'll go down first!

[sonic]

having played Hawken...I can tell you that the player bases for these games are going to be drastically different.

and yea...Hawken sucks

[deputydog]

Hawken loks like a great game but the controls suck and the mechs do not last long. I was in Alpha and Early beta and hated it. Why cant they have a throttle?

People will play both and choose one. Those who want a sim will stay.

[Ryvucz]

The mechs used in Hawken look like giant piles of welded together random parts of an elementary school science project.

I'm not touching that crap with my most hated persons computer.

[Hammish]

I hate to agree with the naysayers, but.. I agree. I won't be playing Hawken, personally. Can't stand it. I will continue to be playing MWO. But I did nab it just to see how it was, and.. yeah.

Hawken starts you out in something almost as ****** as a trial mech, but at least it's yours and you have some input after a few fights. It also has, you know, a tutorial that explains things to you. Those things don't provide depth but they do retain customers. Customers pay the bills. Paid bills mean companies continue to function.

To everyone hoping that Hawken drives away player types they hate, remember.. those people were just as likely to shill money for a product, and every one that leaves is a potential loss of income. Income that could make the game you do like shine a bit brighter. Think it through.

We already have problems finding 8 man pre-made games, how much worse could it get?

In other news, Mario Cart is going to maul Forza's player base.

Love how 99.99% of everyone talking down about Hawken haven't even taken the time to play it yet they think they are such a gift to gaming they think that the opinion of someone who has not even played the game can be held up to the light as a valuable opinion.

i really like Hawken and I really like MWO

Hawken is fast paced and has its own talented features as does MWO

but if you guys are gonna throw out some FPS nonsense the best way i can put it is:


MWO is To Hawken what Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six is to Modern Warfare.


Really give them both a shot they both have very solid game-play regardless what you think SPECIALLY if you haven't even played the game.


Be a true gamer and give both games a shot, Don't be a Dbag and criticise on things you have no clue upon just by looks alone.

Doesn't help that they all bait and switched us for Founder checks either, then immediately afterwards turned the unfinished game into a cash crop. All the guys that realized the stick was going to come up short got their refund while it was still on the menu. I should have done that too when I heard about the first MC-only hero variant. I also didn't know they were going to charge for slots and gouge so much for skins when I got this. You can put 100$+ into this game and it doesn't get you much. In most games... (60-100)it gets you everything. In most F2P titles, it'd get you quite a lot. They charge you for every paint edit even if you already bought the colors on a variant? Whata joke. Go look at League of Legends, please. And now they gutted my favorite role with the last patch. Thanks a lot, you guys.

So I hope they enjoy the splurging of the rare few rich old MW fans because the majority aren't going to drop a buck on it, meaning they'll get far less than they could have.

Hawken is nothing like MWO, hopefully we will lose some "twitch gamers" to Hawken, leaving this game to those who enjoy simulation of MWO.

Yes, that's what I'm hoping for as well, for this game to LOSE people.
