Yeah, Silk will tell you all about the struggle to get footage! I think one of the problems is that quite a few don't have the hardware to be able to record and play at a reasonable frame-rate.

great video but meh. watching a montage of random kills isn't that interesting to me. some interesting skilled fights would be better but i guess that's not what a short, sped-up, flashy montage is about. most of it is some mech with a TOW launcher which is fine but that's got to be the easiest weapon to use aside from MGs. it's still nice to see how the game looks with a system that can fully handle it.

No but videos of that would be great too. I mean fights between skilled pilots instead of tiny clips of random kills.

That would be called commentated streaming, which we do as well.  As D said, check out the irc, play some of those matches, and see waht high level play is like first hand, and then realize it's probably not well suited for spectation/commentating at the current time.

Hawken Meta centers around TOWs, HEAT, and HF currently.  Complaining that folks are using "no-skill" weapons in a game were hit boxes are humungous and nearly everything is hit-scan, is just nit-picking, and really only sounds like you have some kind of beef.  Coordinated and skilled play is alot of positioning, hit and run, or flanking maneuvers.  Do you want to watch videos where its 60% people standing/walking slowy around to position, then maybe 40% action_  Because when 2-3 (let alone 6 IRC caliber players) of these guys are together on a team you better believe that nothing lasts very long.  That wouldn't be interesting to the masses that haven't played Hawken, and doesn't serve the purpose that this video serves.

Montages such as this are created to increase awareness/hype abut a game, giving the feel of frantic action and non stop killing.  They have been making montages such as this since the technology to capture and edit gameplay was available (HALO:CE videos of Final Boss are probably the best known).  

That being said, scoring multi kills, or absurdly long kill streaks is a great way to get people without ANY knowledge of Hawken to see some of the best parts, and maybe get them in the game.  This community is small, and needs to puff itself up with stuff like this to get people to put Hawken on their radar.

Silk, wonderful job, the video is of quality, and the editing/music/tie ins are awesome.  Maybe you guys can get me a new video card for next christmas and I'll be as good as those showcased in the montage and worthy of time in a future video.
