Do they e-mail you when you get access? They e-mailed me about the website to register on, which I did, but haven't heard anything since.
This is one of few games I am interested in at the moment. What's the gameplay and battle system like?
Is this essentially CoD with mechs? Most of the gameplay videos seem to indicate that.
I am enjoying MWO though.

Basically the difference is:
In Hawken you are a mech.
In MWO you are a pilot piloting a mech.
Hawken feels like Q3 with mech skins (real broad generalization but it gives you the idea)
Hmmm I guess just because I got into alpha 1 doesn't mean I automatically get into alpha 2.
Hawken is really like Armored Core meets Quake 3. It may not be as fast paced as Q3, but the mechanics are the same, but alot of what you can do in Hawken is similar to the Armored Core games, its really a great game.
closed beta access actually started tonight at 11 pm PST.. so if you signed up on their site you should have gotten the email, if not login and you should see a beta button on the top left to download the game. but the match making server won't be up til 9 am PST.
Access to the client and forums, yes. I've already download the close beta, did so earlier today. They removed a bunch of advanced video settings from the menus, however they can still be configured via the .ini. Not sure why they would have done that other than trying to steamline the beta experience for new users with low-mid range rigs....

Ugg, keeps saying "unable to download metafile", whatever that means.

The Hawken patcher cripples my machine for some reason, so I have only played it once. It seemed interesting
I'm all set to play the beta, but can't join any servers. Even when I set matchmaking to all regions and gametypes, it still can't find any games for me to join. Anyone have better luck?
played hawken...
graphics are pretty awesome but the gameplay is kinda bland i got bored after 5 mins of the same shoot and kill stuff in a mech... it plays like armored core V with less jumping. Mechs are kinda sluggish, combat, i think, is pretty balanced. Pretty much who gets the first shot out gets the kill unless you have horrible aim. I think so far its pretty good just need more game modes... which i sure they will address in the final release

Was able to join a few games after they brought some more servers online...had a great time! A few of the mechs feel a bit unbalanced, particularly the missile class and the brawler. Too sluggish and not enough damage output to compensate. I'm sure things will get tweaked much more before launch, hence the beta. Will probably play this quite a bit when it goes live.
yeah it can get boring.. i think they need to put an actual spawn timer in the game maybe 10 seconds. kinda dumb that you can die and respawn instantly which add's to the boredom. theres no penalty for dying so no real use of tactics because of it.
