To sign up and you want to refer me for whatever reason (i get to reserve my callsign or something?):
Hawken is one of the coolest online games in development for publication on the web. Adhesive Games, the startup studio that is making the game, is announcing today that its Meteor Entertainment division will publish the game as a free-to-pay title in December.
Hawken is a mech shooter title, a sci-fi multiplayer game where users get into large walking robots and shoot each other with heavy weaponry such as rockets. The title looks beautiful and it has been in the works for more than a year, and it is one of the first in what could be a wave of web-based games with stunning visuals. The company is betting that the combination of outstanding visuals and the free-to-play model could be disruptive for console games.

EDIT: Thanks guys, already got 3 to reserve the gamer tag, but feel free to keep using the referral code... it hints at more rewards down the line, or something. :poly142:
It also looks much more compact and faster paced than most mech games.
It's a balance between the "clunky" mech games and the faster pace ones. Traveling and maneuvering feels very tankish, while firefights speed up with boost maneuvers. It still feels like you're piloting a machine but at the same time not feeling sluggish.
There's also three mech classes: light, medium, and heavy. Obviously the lights are fast but they're easy prey, while the heavys are slower but have a lot of power.
I haven't played too many mech games before Hawken, but I can say it's definitely not just a FPS with mech skin around it as some have said.

3 invites should be on here.
Sign up, so I can play. Just do it. And get other people to sign up.
edit: Oh wait. . I guess it's the open signup or whatever now. I still need 3 signups though!
