It looks like a couple of Mech games are coming out. I’ve been in MechWarrior Online’s beta for a few months now, but there’s another first-person-mech shooter coming out. Hawken is an indie game by Meteor Entertainment that looks awesome. It’s going to be free to play just like MWO, and they seem to be running a founders program just like them too. I signed up for beta today, but it goes open beta on 12/12/12 so it won’t be long before I’m in the game. These free to play models are interesting, and I hope these guys can make some money and keep them open. I’ve been in MWO for a while, and it’s a blast to play. They keep coming out with new mechs and new maps, and they're following the BattleTech timeline. Clan stuff should be dropping sometime during next summer. I can’t wait. Clan Mechs are supposed to be really over powered.

Hopefully Hawken can live up to this. The screenshots look great, but they’ll have to continue to put out better Mechs along with new maps to compete. I’d like to hop into it and see what they have to offer, get a chance to play around with their Mech bays and configurations. The 12th isn’t really that far off.
