now that my Reaper is nearly leveld I made this video for my collection

its also for everyone struggeling to get comfable with the new hawken,
its still outstanding and when they have balanced out a-classes
and c-classes against each other it will shine again even more

I seem to lose a lot of frames and ping while capturing
to much CPU usage I guess


youtube buthered it a bit but its made for full.screen

what really concernes me a bit is it seems there are much less
people playing hawken atm ... I remember the forums where
much more crowded as well ... or is it just GTA5 _

Woo! More power to them Reapers!

I noticed you missed quite a few shots in the video. I recommend you try to play a bit more at a distance, and with more patience. Every shot counts, and you'll definitely see a difference when you see how quick fights can end if you can land every hit. Don't be too hasty to fire away, you'll excel with patience!

Plays Reaper.
Doesn't zoom for mid-long range shots with the KE-Sabot.
wat

People need to learn to scope...

EDIT: Also y u fly so much_! You're ****ing over your accuracy, which is critical for the Reaper.

Yeah, I tend to agree with Corpinator. Hang back, lay low, and when the opponents are dodging and darting with your teammates, punch them full of holes. Run into a fist fight with a slug/KE at your own peril (IMO). Just don't have the rate of fire, or the movement ability to survive 1v1 with most equal players in any other mech. Whereas the other guy can dodge back and forth spamming an automatic weapon and an RPG with splash damage - you have neither of these luxuries. Fire the slug and miss, your chances of survival plummet, fire the slug twice and miss, you don't have chance unless you're fighting Stevie Wonder.

Dude, you don't even know.  Remote-detonation splash weaponry is the hardest thing to use.

Do you even lift_

That's one random montage. I dont see the point of the clips where you attack a guy, and then they successfully run away at 10% life. Or the clips that start with the other guy at 20% life.

Well he has to show some kind of footage. Otherwise people might think the Reaper is bad or something..

Why is the Reaper so bad compared to the SS_ Isn't the Reaper supposed to be good close to mid range using the semi-automatic Am-Sar or the fully-automatic RPR_

Because the Reaper is designed to be an easy-to-use entry level mech.
That said, it's not that bad, even when using the AM-SAR or RPR.

Isn't the SS easier_ Just stand around and click RMB+LMB every so often to deal damage_ And why isn't the Reaper the first mech in the Sniper tree :/

Also, the Reaper seems to be alot more fun than the SS. Playing close to mid range dealing consistant damage while dodging enemy fire.

That's what the good SS players do. It just takes a little more skill.
To play a proper, terrifying SS, it's a lot harder than playing a Reaper, or a useless "sit-in-the-back-and-camp" SS.
