I'm Cannonstar.

My first foray into the world of mechas started when I played Xenogears in my early teens. Since then, I've been obsessed with anything mechas. I'm saving up to buy an oculus for this game, is it any good_

Looking forward to playing you all ingame!

Welcome to the wonderful dystopian world of Hawken where mechs rule!  Glad to see another pilot!

Welcome!
If you like the way CRT plays buy the assault rather than sinking time into the CRT, the Assault is way better.

Nope, it's Fei from Xenogears. It's part anime, part JRPG, Game of Thrones-styled game with mechas instead of dragons.

I'm saving up for a Predator. but I do like the CRT, are they similar_

[Hijinks_The_Turtle]

The CRT and Predator are very different from each other.  Trust it from one who knows.  It took me awhile till I got Predator figured out, and even to this day, I still need to better the way I play Predator.

CRT is an all around mech that fulfills various roles, whether through cover fire, main damage, support, protection (shield mk 1).

Predator is an ambush/defense mech.  It cuts down the knees of enemies where they don't expect it, scouts and tracks enemies from the shaodws by heat vision and marks them for their teammates or it can act as a bait to lead enemies to a mine laden field and distract enemies.  It's much harder to use as it's play style  is different from all the other mechs.  (Even Infiltrator, it's closest cousin.)  (As you can tell, I play Predator waaay too much. XD)

Thanks for your input! Predator sounds appealing to me and I don't mind putting in the time to learn how to utilize it. My gameplay style is mainly stealth-based and I always try for breaking the enemy team cohesion for easy pickings. I assume that the Predator is a natural fit for me, but I'm open to other mech suggestions!

I tried the trial Infiltrator a few times, but its slight lack of armor turned me off.
