Hello everyone,

I am curious as to the current competitive scene of Hawken, and specifically which teams out there attempt to compete with each other competitively.  I don't currently play Hawken very much and thus seek enlightenment as to the current competitive scene.

I currently help run a league for another Mecha game and want to know if there is enough of a competitive community here with Hawken to justify adding a league for Hawken.  If any team leaders would like to contact me with any questions feel free to do so either here, through PM, or at rhoddale@gmail.com.  Personally I would love to support Hawken as I believe it makes a great spectator experience, and would love to hear from you all.

well since their really isnt a clan system yet
you could be looking for highst player base

[OdinTheWise]

The competative scene here is mostly just prep. BSB does a lot. We have been trying to do skrims with other clans but no one seems wants to do battle.

[Aims]

I would wait till spectator mode and other clan based features are implimented, OP. Hopefully some of them will begin to show up in the next patch or two.

Help with what. Most clans don't want anything to do with outside help. All the larger clans don't need anything.

Really_ What a coincidence, Vodka People have exact same problem. Ts-ts-ts.

Well, I'd like to think that's not the case here at MIM. Or at least not most of the times. We play many games daily. And most of the times there're externals in our teams and I think they can not complain much on us during those may games.

It's cool to ask people on where they come from and reading/hearing someting like "Lituania, France, US, Russia, Spain, Argentina, UK, Chile, Italy...". Really, I like it.  

I'm rambling, I know...

Lack of private servers is the primary issue with competition right now.

Any balance or map issues can be resolved with rule sets, which can be amended as patches flow.

But by not having private servers, we can't really even begin to get comp play going.

IMO if they give us priv servers, thus allowing comp to start, we can get a far better idea of what should be done in future patches. Comp play gives a much clearer perspective of how the game is meant to be played IMO.

(Also selfish reasons of wanton to play comp before I leave for extensive AF pilot training)

Although I may agree on the importance of private servers, I think that the implementation of Groups/Parties will be absolutely key here; much more important than having private or custom servers in the game at this stage; IMHO.

I agree that's vital as well, but no reason they can't get both working soon. Both will be highly beneficial in their own way

[ropefish]

i hope there will be a mercenary system cause
WG is the only active mercassassingun-for-hireetc.caterpillarsi'm going overboard herecan'tstop
in the game
we needs a merc system

[Bratwurst]

Yes we do need a merc system, I will second that motion.

[solarflareTM]

Only way your going to find this out is when hawken has its first big tourney after live release.

I can not count how many times a small squad has come in and decimated the big noise clans in other games I've played.

Time will tell i have yet to hear of any real squad vs squad scrimmages happening.

[Hrono]

In my subjective opinion, VodkaPeople is now the strongest hawken clan on all servers, at the moment I don't see any  team that is capable to defeat us. You are welcome to prove me wrong.

Also Hrono is the most modest man in the inhabited Universe. Definitely.
