Teamspeak is VoIP (voice-over-internet protocol) software used for real time voice and text communication over the internet. It is comprised of servers, which are divided into channels and sub-channels. These servers are regulated by admins with the rights to mute, kick, or promote users at will. Communication is only possible between people in the same channel.
The Hawken teamspeak server's address is: ts5.gameservers.com:9152
Officially Unofficial Hawken Teamspeak[]
The Hawken Teamspeak server was set up by a community powered Gofundme campaign to provide a platform upon which new players could get feedback and have their questions answered in real time, while enabling more experienced players to better engage with the community while playing.
It is also used as a central hub of communication for almost all community events, as well as some clan activities.
There are channels for regular players in public servers (different channels for all gamemodes), channels for UVW, WW, TPG, Priority Target, various clans, European users, Australian users, American West coast users, and people playing online games besides Hawken.
Furthermore, one channel is reserved for streams and announcements by Capnjosh, of Reloaded Games.
The "super admins" are Amidatelion, ticklemyiguana, and merl. A full list of admins can be found in the official forum thread (see contact, below.)
Second Crowdfunding[]
On the 3rd of March 2016, Hawken pilot Lil Wizzy (aka Merl) made a post on the forums stating the Gofundme campaign to fund the server costs of the teamspeak channel had been reopened, as it had been a year since the last campaign and funds were running out.
The campaign was a rousing success and the 800$ required to keep the server running for another year were collected in less than three days.
