Hawken Closed Beta Mechs my day: 2D and 3D Deathmatch, Team Deatmatch , Missile silos and more

PC gaming is about to have one of those Unreal 4 Tournament, Battlefield 2 moments, that`s what Hawken is. Those two games had people building rigs, battling at 200 FPS on multiple GPU and monitor set ups. They remain insanely awesome milestones for PC gaming when it comes to the arena based combat game. And that is what Hawken is too,not a mech sim, not a mech sim at all. But it is still the most beautiful Mech based game to date. Oh the beauty of it ,that is what you start to anticipate when you finally see that connecting screen and you make it into a game,of any mode at present.

Hawken is a beautiful game not because of polygon counts or high res textures, no it is a visual feast thanks to the way it paints with colour and changes the colour palate on the fly , dynamically. The whole thing is the total opposite of Mechwarrior with its clean textures and bright neon weapons and explosions.  Take a snapshot and the pictures you get look straight from some 90s graphic novel 

Hawken is the Derelicte of Mech games and every moment is packed with detail and rich vivid colour , distressed and torn to shreds in seconds. Every where you look polygons which form clean and neat buildings and environments in other games are battered and bruised bathed in entirely different colour palates as weapons fx and explosions light them up.  If you have the hardware throw in motion blur and this is the finest ugliest game in the world of gaming to date . Throw in the haze filter , weather effects hazes , debris and you have a game that makes the distressed grungy world of Steel Battalion look like Mech Warrior 2 ... And it runs at speed on even an Intel HD3000 .. 

Day 3 gave me time to check out death match , missile assault , gaming at 1280 by 720 , 1024 by 768 at ultra and high texture and world detail and gaming in 3D using Tridef 3D and a Cinemizer OLED hmd on which the colours look insane... 

 death match game play at 1280 by 720 on the Intel HD3000 

and Missile Assault where you eventually learn to work with your team! 

switching to 1024 by 768 for more death match where we learn to use elevation and turrets to set up an ambush...or camp ..or is that ambush camp...

and yet more death match  1024 by 768 

and even more death match and missile assault 

and a comparison between 2D and 3D gaming in Hawken : set your 3D displays to over under at the prompt:

see you in the open Beta and stay safe American and Canadian cousins
