1) Overall, I like the game. It has some issues, which I'll gripe about here - briefly - but I like it.
2) I forgot to turn my in-game mic off while recording for youtube and I was griping. If anyone felt insulted, my sincerest apologies. That was not my intention. I hope those who heard it will forgive me.
3) The spawning in this game stinks out loud. I'm tired of spawning and immediately getting shot to death OR (and this is my personal "favorite") being in the middle of a heated battle, holding my own and a couple of guys spawn in behind me, kill me and steal my kill. TOTAL BS. IMHO, this should be re-thought.
4) Turrets need to go. Period. Argue for them all you like, but it takes away from the game. I wish I'd recorded the shenanigans of a particular player last night, but he basically camped a corner with one of those ridiculous turrets and just pwned for nearly 20 kills non-stop (until I took him out and then trolled him for the rest of the game, I hate turrets; they're stupid). The maps are already small enough, cramping them even further with turrets is just too much. Why bother argueing that they do too much damage? That seems to be the point. Which re-enforces my point. They detract from players fighting other players. We have to waste our ammo and heat gauge on turrets that do ridiculous amounts of damage in a game where there's always another opportunistic player waiting and willing to creep up behind and blow us away. This seems to be a BIG oversight.
5) It's too easy to get stuck in/on a wall. When this happens, all you can do is die.
6) Both weapons sharing an overheating gauge is far too detrimental. God forbid you get jumped by two or more players; your weapons will overheat and you WILL die needlessly. Which brings me to my next point...
7) Having accurate sharpshooting weapons is cool. Not being able to fine aim them is not. Any chance of changing this? Or is it there and I'm just missing it? Being able to shoot enemies from a distance would decrease the chances of being caught between several enemies at once and your weapons overheating... if you could aim them well enough for it to be worth it. Yikes. Fix?
8) I cannot ever seem to switch between the selected weapons/abilities. They're supposed to be tied to the 1, 2,and 3 keys; yet this seems not to work. Sad Day.

Well, that's the end of my list. It's not very long (only 6 gripes). Again, overall I like the game. With a few minor tweaks this could easily be the best game I've ever played... and I'm not into mech games. What does that say?
I have one other favor to ask the developers. I'm part of a gaming clan and we were considering adding this game to our repetoire. Would it be okay if we use some promotional art on our t-shirts in our store? Our clan is non-profit in nature, so any/all proceeds go to paying for Clan gaming servers and teamspeak servers (adding a Hawken server would be awesome and advertisement for your game would be free). I fully understand if you say "no" or don't respond. In the instance where you don't respond, we simply won't do it.
It's been real.
Fight the Good Fight Pilots.
