Is there some info about when the early access ends and the game will be free again? I tried to read the links in announcement and on the store page but failed to find any info regardin that.

This is an honest question but how can you tell someone that it really is a good deal for a paint job or other things when all i'm reading on steam and the hawken forums is that it's easy and quick to grind for MC as no weapon has an advantage over another. So really the $30 would be pointless if there is no real value? If you care about a paint job i guess but since weapons are all equal i don't understand the point in suggesting it's great value when the arguement on this game is that it's NOT P2W ?

Can you expain this to me since i don't have the game and can't make an informed decision.

How to download this and alos if this is going to be avalible free after early access when is that going to be done?

It will be free after the 'Early Access' phase is over. It is to ease the transition to steam that the game is making (it use to be standalone in the beta). It WILL be F2P after said phase is over. TBH, $30 might seem a bit steep, but for what it's worth, you are getting a pretty good deal. Early access, a bunch of mechs with custom designs, and a decent haul of meteor credits.

dude tag says f2p. not about to drop 30$ on a game that was free

The game was free!?, Guess that was just for the beta. This stuff that they are offering with this "bundle" is already in the normal game. Been playing it for months. At the web site it was all free. WTF!!!

Another Early Access game, sigh! What a POS!

Hi id like to to ask some question about the game..I was hooked to play this like a week ago suddenly. I felt like i wanna play some mech game and i found hawken. So i read that it is transitioning to steam so YEY ..Well the bundle thing was a bad surprise for me but hell..im willing to sell my dota 2 inventory to play this game but i was afraid about the bundle items and credits..I want to play this game and do achievements - u know to actually deserve boosting, but buying shit seems like turnoff..i want to deserve good mechs and parts by raping other mechs..can somebody tell me..is there much to hunt for when i get the bundle? or ill get full unlock and no more fun achieving? - im aware of the content of bundle but cannot judge this since i never played the game, and dont know its "upgrade depth"..would like somebody experienced to reply pls gooby :)
