Did hawken on ps4 get mentioned last thread.

fucking fite me faggot

No, because hawken is the deader than heavy gear.

Nobody cares about hawken.

people care about it enough to put it on ps4 apparently

Sonyfags will brag about anything, even a dead four year old free-to-play not-arena shooter with mechs.

Nothing really to say, they're just putting it on to squeeze money out of Brazilians. Not really worth talking about until it gets new content.

It was bought by the chinese. Again.

They already sold it to the chinese once, but now they've seemingly sold it to another company. 505 is doing the 'ports,' and reloaded have very little involvement in it.

Makes you wonder why reloaded is even needed in the first place.

Here is the truth.

>3 wins so far, one by enemy team forfeit
>6 losses, two by our inability to show up
>15 future wins due to enemy teams already having forfeited

>10+ more mechs
So basically its Console Blacklight Syndrome again?

Which game is best? skyrim/oblivion/new vegas?

Tactics

Oblivion

Fallout tactics.

honestly not sure anymore, but I think the orchestra played dies irae
do you guys think that the orchestra played it as a joke against orders to like, take a jab about how bad their presentation was?

hawken showing unprecedented signs of life as of e3?

>new armored core game is in the works

...

For mumble.

Real talk guys, will the Huntsman be good?
>tfw no Luthien map to prowl

Yes, endo + ferro and plenty of podspace. Good hardpoints. Also looks pretty good aside from that shitty head. 5JJs are a plus and a minus, only 2.5t at least but still more than a lot of people would like I guess. Still has plenty of podspace though and plenty capability to use said podspace.

Downside: looks like it will have a massive CT.

Either a giant CT or the STs will be both the giant shoulders + a chunk of the center trunk.

It's either going to have an absurd CT or giant STs, either don't bode too well.

Unless it's small. Smaller than Blackjack small.

Can anyone come up with a comparison image based on the size of the guns? Maybe we can get an idea of its size if the barrels are exactly the same as the next Clan medium on the list.

It's a 50 ton clan omni with endo and ferro that's fairly humanoid, and they're just about to scale everything volumetrically. It ain't gonna end up smaller than the Blackjack. Probably will be bigger than the HBK, especially considering the shape of the torso.

And Xbox One, and a Chinese knockoff console. But the console ports are just there to sucker an unsuspecting audience.
>Our PC game is dead because the game play is garbage.
>Surely expanding our audience to consoles without fixing anything won't backfire!
By the way, it's already backfiring. What few players left on the Hawken forums are pissed.

>Dual Seeker light mech.
>OP mech type with twice the shit weapon.
>"They cancel each other out! It's balanced, you guys! I swear!
Has there ever been a video game that has died more than Hawken? The console ports will be like the third time at least!

I think it looks pretty dank, game needs more non-standard looking mechs.

Leg rigging for Huntsman will be reused for the relatively popular Thanatos once the inevitable timeskip comes around.

Like said I love everything but the cockpit. The cockpit is trash. Let's take the Orion's shitty window and make it wider!

Coulda gotten a badass curved window like this instead, woulda been way cooler.

Still wish it was the Black Lanner instead though, I'm not a fan of "perfect" mech designs for Clans honestly, Timber and EBJ being exceptions. I love crazy engine sizes/MASC, or low engine sizes and excessive boating capabilities etc. Still holding out hope it can happen in the future.

Yeah, the hawken drones have been through at least as much shit as the MWO bittervets, and then some.

All I'm seeing at a glance over there is biting, justified, and weaponized, contempt.

But they're not stupid, at least. They know reloaded doesn't give a fuck about the 'old' community, and want the casual console players to swarm in. For all intents and purposes, the couple hundred ancient veterans are dead to reloaded. They don't matter, and don't feature into their plans at all.

I'm hoping that the hawken drones finally figure out how extremely hard they've been played by two dev teams now.

how the fuck does a virus turn people into metal boxes

t. yours truly

Need another drawing competiton from you gaylords, what should be the mech to draw?
Urbanmech, Atlas, Awesome, Panther, Jagermech, etc

The atlas would make for great comedy as everybody fails to draw a skull head. But the urbanmech is so simple, people are bound to fuck it up, so that might be funny.

Just pick a robot for people to draw, and see what happens.

So how bout dat new Voltron.

Its pretty giant, and extreme.

Draw whatever you want

I hope it's as good as it looks.

...

Its not super serious or anything, but Im 4 episodes in and its been pretty good so far.

That's a penis

Memes aside, is the ice ferrent a good/reliable medium mech?

I just had a vivid dream where haruko humiliated me, pushed me down, peed on me then sat on my face between her thicc thighs and forced me to rim her for ages till it ended messily, just thinking about it has me hard again.

No, it's a shitmech. Perfect for shitmech masters, but not so good for the general population. It has some utility in CW.

...

Did the rescale patch drop yet?

Fixed the panther
Here it is now

Thanks.

Needs a ppc arm though.

Why do women call me "daddy" if I'm not their father or stepfather?

the 21st.

No idea who made the metamech sign but why is everything
LARGE PULSE LASERS

Nanomachines, son.
No really. It's some kind of computer virus that makes self-replicating nanomachines go berserk and consume everything around them for more nanomachine material.

Do the mumble fags still play with who's?

With literal whos?

Yes

Long as they're not autistic, keep their memes in check, and don't run retarded builds.

Also good luck catching anyone online lately.

Golds were convinced the sawn-off shotguns were on the laserboat variant only, but this picture of the (S)hit variant confirms it's universal.

I love the pig so much.

>pig does something they want
>they still complain

No one asked for fucking twin-barrel dueling pistols.

Everybody assumed that the second hardpoint would go on the side of the arm, like in the concept art and all the old minis and artwork, but no, piggy had to put them next to each other for maximum retardation.

g g
I hope that putting only a ballistic in the arm hardpoint will make it into a gun thing, instead of just having it slung under the arm like the tiny MG.

My humor is wasted on these plebs

I dont get it
Feel bad now

Statler and Waldorf were muppets who would heckle the show
I did that, and then i replaced statler with Steiner
because jokes.

Still dont get it but Ill force a chuckle for originality

It'll probably end up with a big underslung goose or AC10 barrel. Gonna look retarded as fuck, I bet.

>put single PPC in the arm.
>looks like a proper pixie gun.
>fit AC5 in the same arm.
>big ass AC barrel underslung.

One of the WIP models has a gauss rifle sitting in the gunpod slot, so maybe it's a feature of the ballistic-focused arms.

Anyone getting a generic connection error when posting via quick reply? The console says "Cross-Origin Request Blocked (Reason: CORS header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' missing)", I'm using Firefox. It's annoying being stuck with the normal post form.

>metamech sign
wut
also LPLs are best energy weapon

I swear to god if it's not on PC i'll buy a ps4, probably

>signs of life
>they've done literally nothing since they picked it up except outsource consoles ports
wow

oh, and they redesigned the UI, again

They didn't redesign it. The guy who made the original HUD back in 2011 came back and made an entirely new one for them.

There'd not be console ports if he hadn't done this.

>finally figure out
and then what?

please help me figure things out fampai. I don't know how much longer I can enjoy this game without your approval.

>also LPLs are best energy weapon
>tfw any build that includes ppcs can instantly be made like 3x better by replacing them with LPLs

Hey guys the Antraxx mod I've been keeping up with had a multiplayer demo released.

moddb.com/games/antraxx/news/antraxx-multiplayer-alpha-demo-out-now

If anyone downloads it hop on mumble.

Look what I found.

Looks pretty cool. Reminds me of the NES mech game from long ago.

I'll give it a try later tonight.

Turns out there's nothing to download, it's all in-browser. The dev is in there right now and I've been talking with him for a bit. Seems like a cool dude. Turns out he was really excited that I told him I've been posting info about it on Veeky Forums, which is kind of funny.

WHEN

>tfw no ammo types
>tfw no mrms
>tfw no atms
>tfw no rotary acs
>tfw no arrow IV
>tfw no heavy lasers and vspl
>tfw no ppc capacitor
>tfw no snub-nosed and light ppcs
>tfw no heavy gauss rifle

Ammo types not working is stupid and they need to get on that.

Arrow IV would be broken and it's good that it's not in.

Everything else is way out of timeline.

How would Arrow IV be broken?

Not the same user, but I really am disappointed that they won't even put ATM's in with the Huntsman, despite it being lore wise the correct year.
Would it introduce some balance issues? maybe. I still think they've walked themselves into a corner with the timeline now, especially if they think the game has another 6 years left in it like Russ is dreaming of.

>how would 45-meter blast radius area effect weapons that can hit any part of the map be broken?

You're kidding right?
