The other big mech game is opening registrations for a closed beta, and confirms that it will be free to play, and PC-only.
Well, good news if you like mecha - registrations are open as we speak for the upcoming Hawken. Thanks to PointZeroOne on the forums for the heads up.
The rego's a simple enough process, but if you can get three mates to also sign up, you'll be able to reserve your pilot name. Pretty neat.
The other big news is that it's now confirmed as a PC only title, and will be released under a free-to-play model, not unlike that of World of Tanks, with the option to buy new upgrades and bonuses with real cash.
The game's also now got a release date - the 12th of December this year. Yup, 12.12.12. When the beta will start, though, is anyone's guess. But we're in, and if you follow the link, you can be too.
Mount up!
