New Hawken map, the Last Eco, takes players out to the woodshed

Hawken: The Last Eco

Hawken: The Last Eco

Hawken has thrown away its rusty brown color palette with its new map, the Last Eco, as announced in a forum post at the Hawken community site. Set in the last remaining forest on the continent, the map will have players stomp-stomping past old growth forests, run-down structures deep in the wilderness and what looks like massive mushrooms.

Last Eco s Hawken’s four game modes, deathmatch, team deathmatch, missile assault, and siege. The map will land for players later this month, at which time our graphics cards will all surely melt and then explode.

There’s also a bit of lore justification for fighting over this chunk of forest, which is as thoughtful as it is unnecessary. “After the Hawken virus outbreak, Prosk scientists discovered countless plant mutations and new strains of vegetation growing at every layer in the forest,” the forum post reads. “They now believe that harvesting these glowing plants may hold the key to finding a cure for the virus.”

Oh, Hawken. You already had me at “forest map.”

If you haven’t yet, you can check out Hawken here. Thanks, PCGamesN.

Boris Kustodiev&#039;s painting, &#039;The Bolshevik&#039;. The Bolsheviks, derived from bol&#039;shinstvo, &#039;majority&#039;, were a faction of the Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP) which split apart from the Menshevik faction at the Second Party Congress in 1903. The Bolsheviks were the majority faction in a crucial vote, hence their name. They ultimately became the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The Bolsheviks came to power in Russia during the October Revolution phase of the Russian Revolution of 1917, and founded the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic which would later become the chief constituent of the Soviet Union in 1922. The Bolsheviks, founded by Vladimir Lenin and Alexander Bogdanov, were by 1905 a major organization consisting primarily of workers under a democratic internal hierarchy governed by the principle of democratic centralism, who considered themselves the leaders of the revolutionary working class of Russia. Their beliefs and practices were often referred to as Bolshevism.
