So, like the title says, what got you guys into Hawken and this type of gameplay/genre/style? Do you have a background relating at all to this?

I'm a college student, majoring in Computer Science and work in my community as a IT Technician. I've worked with US FIRST robotics in high school and built a number of robots myself, using them to compete in tournaments and taking them to events like the Solid Works Expo and local street fairs.

Always loved hard surface/ mechs and sci fi genres in most media. Also seeing the first gameplay shots got me really interested.
I also create 3D models, environments and characters [ mostly based on hard surface]. So yep being able to play a game online that has mechs, awesome textures and lighting is  what got me here.
This is basically a guy, and there's 3 humans here, basically trying to make a warning, you know, saying "I kill 3 humans, watch out for me."

I like big machines that kill things but never got a chance to play a videogame that let me sit in the actual cockpit and rain death on people until now.

My older favorites growing up were Zone of enders, Amored core, Mechwarrior. Movies like Robocop, cartoons like Voltron and Gundam, shows like power rangers with the Zords.

Naturally I have an interst in anything with a robot.  I enjoy how this game mixed aspect of the heavy feel of Mechwarrior along with some of the quick moving aspects of games like ZOE or Amored Core.  The icing on the cake and cherry on top was the annoucement of the rift being compatible with this game.

Great team play.
When I've launched onto the battlefield, torn my enemies to shreds.  I stride through the field and listen, I see a ping.  I quietly take my time moving into position, it pings.  I see him...but he doesn't see me.  That feeling of making someone feel defenseless in that moment.  It is glorious!

The first 2 videos for Hawken's anouncement showed up on GT and those alone got me hooked.  A fast paced shooter with mechs and a boost based movement system = awesome.  Not to mention the graphics for an indie game just blew me away.
