Hawken F2P

This game is excellent.

I can't get enough of the Brawler. Vulcan cannon + Hellfire is silly fun.

This game is amazing.

yeah a balance to matchmaking is deff. needed and fast. another thing is balance overall the game is very badly balanced mechwise and some of the choice they have made just makes no sense whatsoever

Fun game, lot of potential. Early on matchmaking needs balance work. Some height restrictions suck at times. Respawn locations seem too random even on Team DM, Silo capture (should spawn kinda near your teammates)...havent tried seige yet. First build I went all offense, second build all movement with some points in my overall damage and some overall defense. Movement worked better at least for me. Id like to have some more customization options for my mechs and perhaps localized damage with results.

This is cool.

How do you upgrade stuff though? Improving armor/speed/guns and stuff seems a bit unclear to me.

If anyone sees me online, feel free to hop in or invite me to a game.

You get a skill point each time you level up. In the hanger you can assign them.

The EMP charge is a blast. It totally shuts down all systems except movement. OP as fuck, but hey, it's on a minute and change cool down.

Nothing beats firing a charge into a clumped group of nimrods to see them go apeshit upon realizing they can't do shit. Laugh out loud.

Specc'd the brawler for speed, with EMP ,+ bullet damage and upgraded thrusters (+ forward leap). 'Tis beast.

Figured some of you might find this interesting, someone has been acquiring the stats of each weapon / loadout etc.:

Not bad for a start. I knew the Vulcan was a world-ender. That with Hellfire is good night Susan.

It's the little things. The droning techno warhorn that blasts when your ship is getting close to their base in siege mode is fucking amazing. Think HL2 slilt bastards meets Silent Hill movie "alarm". That and the techno city vibe is superbly crafted.

My only problem with the vulcan is the obvious heatrate; it's great for 1v1 encounters but even with some points spent towards dropping the heat rate it's often lacking when i need it on 2 or more opponents.

I'm really loving the Scout; once you get the actual Flak Cannon it's fantastic.

fought a lvl 25 scout with EMP/shield/flak and maxed out mobility the other day he was impossible to kill

I personally prefer the Scout, the increased mobility and fuel reserves ability lends itself to most encounters better than the "Camo" ability of the infil in my experience; it's not exactly hard to tell where they are when they start firing. If anything, the Camo is nice for getting out of a clusterfuck situation when you can get lost amongst the chaos.

Though I do love the HEAT cannon, it just takes some getting used to. After having seen the stats, mixed with in-game experience, it doesn't seem to really necessitate a charge-up aside from an opening salvo for obvious reasons. The charge up time doesn't make up for a +20 damage mod imo.


Edit: GG last night, Brando; need to get more people from the boards in on the action.
