Looks cool. Hopefully I'll "win" a key - if you have any more, I'd appreciate one.

If my calculations are correct, there are still 20 hours left for the beta to start?.

 

[eaglescouter]

4.5 hours until the beta begins!

 

[Amnesiac]

Wow. So the beta begins at smack bang 12AM of 27th here.

 

[karossii]

Begins right at the time I will be heading out for a few hours for business! But, I did get in, and will be playing this evening!

Initial ramping up of the Hawken servers was very rocky.
Until 4pm Pacific time it was nearly impossible to get into a game server, this caused very high levels of frustration as there were thousands of players unable to join games.

By 4:30 pm Pacific there where enough servers online that I was able to join games reliably. DeathMatch, Team DeathMatch, Missile Assault and Siege gametypes were all available. Siege is my favorite at this point.
