That certainly looks like an A class to me.

The prospect of speedy A classes paired with medics zipping around the map has me absolutely terrified.

Hmm interesting what they did with Valkyrie. Also, tech looks like an A, but from that angle it looks like it stands like a B class.

It's an A-class. The chassis is called Zos.

Oh I know. I'm just saying the angle is funny and makes the legs look different than your average A'class legs.

Kinda looks like they put a Bruisers head on a pair of A Class legs, like a bobblehead with no body.

So if I'm reading this right the healing mode of the laser is channeled_ Which is greater than repair speed (I'm guessing before optimizations), very curious to know the heat on this! Does this mean the damage mode is also channeled (and I'm guessing hitscan), instead of the burst fest of the rest of the secondary weapons_

It seems A class to me too. :|
I loved the melee weapon/repair torch concept better.
And what about lazors_

I love the new Valkyrie screenshots but I will never forget <REDACTED>.

My favourite feature in Red Faction was the destroyable map (and the Railgun which can shoot trough walls). I would love to try this in HAWKEN even if it changes everything. Walls are not OP anymore!

Those screenshots of Valkyrie gave me a cyberpunk-boner.

Excited about the new map. Not to fond of the description of the medic mech though. Hopefully the mech will be fun. The best part of the mech seems to be the slight resemblance to Johnny 5.
