The forum thread linked in my sig has some tips for Hawken, both in-game and in general, if you'd like to take a look. They're not too specific (no map-specific strategies, etc.) but it's a start.

Welcome to the forums, too, and nice vid. :D

Uuuuuuuunfortunately, the closed beta event is over, and you're going to have to wait for the next one. (There is almost certainly going to be another one before 12.12.12; I'm predicting next weekend.)

But, keep it all in mind. The name of the game is dodging and knowing when to fight. I know that you were almost completely brand new in that video, but I was like... dodge! Use an HE grenade! Come on, maaaan. Of course, I got even less kills than you in my first game, so I'm not one to talk. :P

1:37, best moment evah.

By the way, I'd suggest lowering your sensitivity. Your aim is all over the place and you often over-aim.

Watching good players could improve your gaming, noticing the little things they do in the heart of battle.

I do not consider myself good enough to be a point of reference but my kd ration in CBE2 is astronomical.

On my youtube you can find tips and tricks as well as gameplay footage.

P.S. if you have any tips as to how i can improve my videos feel free to let me know.

Click me! I dare you.

On Topic: Dont worry you'll get better. Just read Elixs tips and tricks thread (I think there's some others as well). once you learn to dodge you'll be ranking top in matches ;-)

h0B0 you belong to upper echelon of Hawken pilots and can consider yourself a good reference. Don't underestimate yourself!
In your videos you could add something humorous.

Good news, Pilots!

CBE2 is now closed and we thank everyone that participated for your tireless efforts and patience with our game as we work to make it faster, stronger, and better.

We're currently analyzing all the fantastic feedback and info you've provided us during CBE2. We've also made a short survey that we'd truly appreciate you taking the time to respond to: HAWKEN CBE2 SURVEY
(Direct link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5NPY5GT)

If you're itching for more time on the battlefield, you'll soon have it. Our third and final closed beta event starts November 20th and runs until December 6th! If you've been in any of our Alphas or Betas you're automatically added to CBE3. If you're still in need of a code, stay tuned for even more chances to nab one.

On a personal note, I'd like to thank everyone that killed me out on the battlefield. There were truly too many of you to count. I look forward to seeing more of your rockets screaming toward me just a little too late to do anything about it.

xxoo

This. CBE3 from Nov20th -> Dec 6th

BTW, check my siggy for ingame tips, tricks and stats thread which quite a few forum members are contributing to. I'm keeping it as up to date as I can :)

Nice vid BTW

Thanks for that i plan to do that, im used to other games where i prefer the sensitivity but you may very well be right. For silly moment the last minuet of my most recent video shows just how bad i am XD
