 I also love how the game plays and feels in general - great work by Adhesive Games so far!
 I also love how the game plays and feels in general - great work by Adhesive Games so far!I just don't get the feel for Deathmatch in Hawken. You spawn, you run a bit, you get between two enemies (because the maps are only so big), you explode. It works really well in fast paced games like Quake or Unreal Tournament (I'm a big fan of UT99 to this day), but here it just makes the game... frustrating?
OTOH, I love Hawken's Team Deathmatch. This is where the differences and synergies between different machines and their equipment really shine. This is where voice comms play such a big role. This is where the fun is for me.
So, how about mixing the current TD with DM a bit and introducing MTB - Multiple Team Battles? Just like in UT99, you could have up to X teams with Y max players per team.
3 teams - 5 players max per team
4 teams - 4 players max per team
5 teams - 3 players max per team
This way, you still would have overwhelming odds against you (10-12-12 players against you and your team), but at least you could make good use of the voice comms, you could come up with a plan, you could cooperate with others. You still have the 15 minute limit and whoever scores most kills, wins. Other game modes for MTBs would also be possible, but would require proper balancing and possibly adding stuff to maps.
