Four quick tips that everyone needs to know:
1) Exp is granted by damage dealt (including assists), not kills. The scoreboard is ranked by exp, not kills. Killstealing is essentially a non-issue in Hawken unless two people finish the round with EXACTLY the same exp and something is needed for a tie-breaker. Keep all this in mind. There's also an exp bonus for staying alive instead of senselessly dying constantly, and there are exp bonuses for revenge kills, double kills, etc.
2) You can detonate explosive secondary weapons (well, the TOW and the GL, but not the Hellfires) after firing by right-clicking again. The TOW in particular can airburst and kill even if you don't get a direct hit. Your secondary is usually your more powerful weapon, so you shouldn't ignore it when trying to kill people with your primary.
3) Hawken is a game of agility. Your mech is amazingly agile when you know how to pilot it right. Shift+a/d are side dashes (left and right, respectively) and are essential for staying alive. Shift+s is, however, a fast 180-degree spin since Hawken has a maximum turning speed, and the spin is a lot faster than slooowly pulling all the way around through the arc if you're getting shot at in the back. You're probably going to die with your butt showing a few times until you get the hang of using this key combo only when you want to.
4) It's fun, but resist the urge to fly everywhere in combat. Lifting up off the ground means you can't dodge left and right anymore, and this will probably get you killed if you're not careful or lucky. There are legitimate tactical reasons to fly, especially when someone is chasing you around a corner and you decide to go for a "death from above" situation instead of staying on the ground, but usually hopping into the air in close combat is a sign that you actually would like to die now. Also, using your jet booster lights you up on everyone's radar for a pretty significant range, so flying lets everyone know where you are.
