I know the music type might not please everyone, but I did my best to find one that fit the mod of the video.
What you guys think?

But looks like this guy managed to sell me AGAIN Hawken. He brought a coherent trailer synchronizing the music with the visuals showing his editing talents. The recap of all action scenes of previous videos were selected carefully and the transitions were nicely done.
This guy has some talent.
My opinion goes like this 9/10.
As a personal appraisal, the music sucks ass. However this video was exquisite in every way. Even the music made sense.
But then again, music should encompass the magic of the game and the scene.
For example:
Or just take notes from Adhesive themselves.

Soundtrack is always a double-edge sword. There's always someone who won't agree with your choice.
I choose this one because:
1- My aim was to make a action paced video, I'm not saying that you can't impose action with classical music, you can, but they don't give too much margem and freedom to edit, and most of the time the cut&editing will be simple.
2- It suited the video, since the game is about a sci fi theme, the eletronic mix and guitar riffs, made it match the mix of the heavy sounds of the game.
3- It was easy to project the video. Usually I start my editings by finding a music that I can imagine, not only the transiction of the scenes, but also the effects.
Like, I know that your taste is different from mine, but the kind of way wich each one made the video, makes the songs suits it better. Mine was build to show action and make you want to play it, like a montage. Theirs, was build to show how epic it is.
ps: I'm not being arrogant to not acept your opinion, I'm just defending mine and I'll take it on consideration next time I try to make another fan trailer.

On that you had success. However music is something very critical, it is a double edge sword in every way. You have to find a coherent and modern main stream line with a particular folklore. The sound must reads universal for every culture. That is a hard task.
Second, the Music adhesive selected brought the theme. They were interested showing the spirit not the edition. Your edition is very good and well timed. Rarely few editors have the patience to sync their videos with the music. You did it quite well with well justified transitions.
My point is quite simple despite all possible critique I could give. Your concept worked well because with a classical arrangement you are forced to have less room for creativity. I perfectly understand that but the music and the theme with the game doesn't bring the theme of the game.
Hawken is not a game of strong guitar sounds, Dubstep, techno, Djent or drum and base. It's a strange mix of certain elements on those styles with a classical and nostalgic sound. Think on old structures, lots of neighborhoods, large industrial fabrics on a distant planet. Old mechs with oxidized plates on dusty planets. Try to make that theme a quotidian one with your selection of music. If you see the work of Adhesive you will discover that on the stages.

Definitely do not want to listen something like this in Hawken --> ( Disclaimer: Just kidding and listen to this at your own risk if you dare... All my respects to the authors of this though. You know... )
