I have some extra cash and just getting into this game I really like it and I decided I am willing to spend some real life cash on it to support the dev's. That being said, are the bundurus that are on Steam worth buying_ Do any of you have them_

Thanks a lot.

I think the current bundles are only worth buying if:

• you want the specific selection of mechs included in the bundle and
  
• you don't like grinding or you don't have the time to grind for new mechs

You can get all of those mechs by just playing the game after all.

If you're not sure if you like the mechs included in the bundles check out these guides:

• the official mech guide (good to get some first impressions)
  
• Saturnine's mech guide (good to get more detailed information about a specific mech)
  
• complete guide to Hawken (also has a section about mechs and playstyles)

I think for new players the bundles are a great deal, especially ones that start off on sale. A chance to get multiple mechs at a fraction of the cost and real time it would take to get them otherwise is generally worth it if you're willing to part with some cash.

What about those of us who spent and ground our Mechs & points to max them on an account to have all the mechs now we have none of the ones we worked for ....

Bundles are a great deal considering how long does it take to grind for a mech in this game.

Looking at the new ones . . . I'd be hard-pressed to recommend the Battle brigade to a friend. The Nemesis bundle was much more generous for the same price. I had purchased three of those for myself and family. The Prosk bundle is too expensive at $20 (it was just on sale for $10).

Get the Initiate bundle, because you get two good mechs and 720 Meteor credits (same as the $30 Battle Brigade bundle). While you level those two mechs up, you will earn Hawken credits with which to buy other mechs, should you choose to stay with the game.

Beware the learning cliff curve.

The reason why the Nemesis bundle was great was because the price was much lower than what the overall price for all the mechs/cosmetic stuff was for separately.  The actual price for the bundle would have been at least above $100.  You could say that the price cut was a thank you for getting into the game and trying it out.  The Battle Brigade bundle is priced correctly, as the MCs for the mechs is the exact same price (or close to it).

No, it's not worth it if you want to maintain interest in the game for a long period of time.

[DEATHL0K]

Well, there's cost, and then there is value. They aren't interchangeable.
