Greetings fellow pilots of Illal!

Last night the TAW HAWKEN EU Battalion hosted an event that I wanted to share with you all.

A couple of weeks ago I invited the HAWKEN Development team to join us for a friendly play session and I am very happy to say that they accepted the invitation. Again, it was a chance for them to see for themselves what clan gaming looks like on the EU side and of course, a chance for the members of TAW HAWKEN to get to know the people that made the game we all love so much.

So, I am proud to report that Team[HWK] joined my rag tag bunch of Mech pilots for our Tuesday night practice session. [HWK]Deuy, [HWK]Hoogs, [HWK]Kolokotronis, [HWK]Oz, [HWK]Shadiradio, [HWK]Vanashinkaku, [HWK]Vitquay and of course [HWK]ZamboniChaos all arrived in our TeamSpeak channels and prepared for a night twisted metal carnage.

Now I’m going to let the officers and Squad Leaders talk about their games in their own replies to this thread and I know we have some great video footage too but here are a few screen shots of my favorite moments.

The pilots under my command last night were: Azunyan, Kyojin, TOlive, xOxo and [HWK]ZamboniChaos.

The pilots under BatPanda's command were: Flex, DrFreeze, Reituu, Velimirius and [HWK]ShadiRadio.

Here is my personal favorite. I now get to add [HWK]Shadiradio to the growing list of HAWKEN Dev's who's names are scratched into the tank of my Scout :D

And here we are about to make a triple cap on Front Line.

Posted Image

An incredibly close and well fought game but victory was ours!

Posted Image

x0xo topping the bill in an awesome game!

Posted Image

[HWK]ZamboniChaos poses for a photo as we cap silo three on Last Eco.

Posted Image

Here is a great finishing line up from BatPanda's awesome win. Looking good guys!

Posted Image

OK, there is still a lot more to come but I'll just finish up this post by saying thank you to Team[HWK] for joining us last night. We had a blast! (excuse the pun)

Edit: Actually before I finish up here I want to publicly thank my staff:
Olio, Kazuya and BatPanda for successfully executing a perfectly balanced and professionally run event!

Nice!

p.s. soooo many people in teamspeak, that must take a lot of organising!

I've got a lot of love for all the clan leaders. Anyone who takes a large chunk of their own time and patience to ensure that other people have fun is a legend, in my opinion.

Hello Everyone, here are the highlights from Kazuya and Olio

Kazuya, Vilyria, GrendelEcho, Sathoreal, Squidoflove and guest [HWK]Deuy
Against
Olio, Basilios, DeadlyDime, Red Ferrari, Rilker and guest [HWK]Vanashinkaku


Game 1 Wreckage - Missile Assault

[HWK]Vanashinkaku single handed defending S1 in a Predator like a boss, with total carnage at S2 & S3.  
Game could have gone either way, but a last minute triple cap by Team Kazuya won the day  319-0


[HWK]Deuy looking so pretty in pink !!!!!

Posted Image


Game 2 : Team Deathmatch : Bazaar

Kazuya's team started well and got off to a big lead, Olio's team rallied but there was not enough time for a comeback.


Kazuya   :  "Grendel do you think we should heal someone ?"
GrendelEcho : "Probably"
Posted Image



Game 2 : Team Deathmatch : Frontline  (FULL Video below)

Kazuya was killed early and then at 1-0 Olio's team vanished !!!!  Kazuya's team eventually found them hiding (and giggling) behind cover at S3, and killed them all.

Then [HWK]Vanashinkaku went all Incredible Hulk by switching to his MEGA BOSS BRAWLER with 10,000 HP !!!!!!
(He should have done this against the Vanishinkaku Killers)

But Kazuya's team still won the day 12-8 thanks to the tried and tested military tactic of advancing in the opposite direction.

Some of the chat comments at the end are priceless.


Developer Position un-clear ......Vanna called it Modding , Duey called it cheating,  watch the video and decide for yourself.

Posted Image




Game 4 : Team Deathmatch : Last Eco

Another really close game with Olio's team taking the high ground at the key moment, and coming out on top 13-12


This did not end well for Kazuya !
Posted Image


An AWESOME night was had by all. Thank you so much [HWK]'s for joining our practice... HOORAH !

At first, I'd like to thank all people who organised and led this special event, and for invitation. I was never ever participating in something like that before, so I'm happy I had this occasion. A rare opportunity to meet developers not only in chat but to play with them and against them as 'one of us'. I'm sure all participators could feel the great fun but also gravity of moments, and that this evening was unique, well... at least it was for me :).

Second... much much thanks to our team leader Kazuya, who <again> showed up as a great party leader, following us to double victory in excellent style. Especially that we played, as seen today on movie, against much stronger and cheeky opponents! :ph34r:  Fortunately the BigBossBrawler was chasing someone else and I completely wasn't aware how close we were from loosing ;) .

A big thanks also to dear team mates Vilyria, Sathoreal & SquidOfLove for great team play and that you let me do much on the battlefield - a lot of work for all Tekkies last night ^_^ . Special thanks for [HWK]Deuy, who I will remember mainly as mad fighter - witnessed him rushing alone on kamikaze mode for 3 enemies and dying soon after. I didn't even try to reach him with torch, he was dying surrounded by enemies and I could only die with him or run away and I did so in a hurry - sorry Deuy :rolleyes:  (Game 1 Wreckage - MA).

Thanks also for opposite team that you let us win and then lose - always wining is not as enjoyable as when we sometimes lose sometimes win, that makes us stronger :D .

The last but not least - since a long time I wasn't sleep so well like after this meeting -_- .

Awesome footage, thanks for the recap - I wanted to peek in and check it out, but was stuck at work (GMT -5). It's cool to see the [HWK] tags in-game, and especially interacting with the players!

That was a lot of fun!  Thank you to all the cool TAW members with awesome accents that participated and set this up :)  I was really impressed with the organization of the clan, especially with that many people involved.

Shout-outs to Raptor Squadron for having my back, and Kazuya for being a great team leader.  My apologies to Wolf Recon for getting stuck with Vanashinkaku <_<

HOORAH!

Seeing the number of pilots all in TS together, be it from TAW or HWK, just made me start crying.

I am still impressed of the way my Tekkie was shredded to pieces in single shot... well at least it looked like a shot... or a bomb, when it was mine's trap settled by Vana's Predator, right? :rolleyes: I was told to rush alone to, looking empty, S1, and tried to reach it asap through one of the rock tunnels... A complete surprise, I was never killed that way before, and that evening the evil Predator did it twice to me. So I learned another trick... B).
