You're up to 3 from me. Here's mine.
It is true -- I am unaware of how to make a hyperlink that says 'mine' on it.
EDIT: But now I am not unaware. Neat.

| Post subject: | Giant Mechs! Hawken Beta signups |
I don't think Hawken has gotten a thread here. It's a mech game from a small indie developer that looks like it would really love to capture the Battletech crowd. Trailer follows, but they just made two big announcements. First, they'll be using a Free to Play model. Secondly, beta signups are open. They're doing some kind of referral tracking, with some vague bonus for getting 3 signups via your referral link. My link is here, and if we want to track how many people have used it, we can start on somebody else's after (and I'll edit it in to change it to somebody else's). Non-referral link is here if you don't want to be referred. I'm intrigued, but not 100% sold. I like my mechs to have that meaty weight and heft to them, that sense that they're ponderous walking tanks rather than the anime M.O. of agile, nimble robots. This seems to want to pay homage to the former, while riding the pace and speed of the latter, and I'm not sure whether I'll like where it lands. Edit: Okay, I got my 3, and so let's send referrals towards Vindicarre's reservation until he gets his 3, then I'll swap this link to Neksar's, etc. |

Ah, aha. The referral bonus is callsign reservation. |

Just "quote" Shel's or mine (heheh) and it'll be there to see. |

At this point, it's probably a marketing gimmick with no planned rewards yet, but... alright, fine. I'll edit in Shel's. |

I've got 2 recruits already - soon as I get my 3rd, feel free to go back to your own recruitment link

Mech's that size shouldn't move that fast. From the objects around them, you were looking at a bunch of 55+ ton mechs. |

I generally agree with you, which is why I'm hesitant to just declare this the second coming of Mech games. At the same time, the sound effects and animations have some weight to them, unlike (as a contrasting reference) those in... that game I just forgot the name of again, that Neksar just posted a thread about this evening. |

I think the thing that killed me the most about it. When old boy was in 3rd person view and it looked like his Mech was ducking. |
