I'm sure everyone's definition of a mech shooter is different. Some like it fast, others like it slow. Hawken is a mech shooter to me because I'm in a cockpit of a mech, I can hear the whine of the different parts of the mech as I move about, I boost and dodge as if I really am in a giant mech, and I don't die instantly from a one single bullet or even a rocket- emphasizing that I have heavy thick armor on around me.
if i change mechs on ultramarines right now... With jetpack, heavy bolter in left hand, and RL on his right shoulders, nothing change in gameplay. just change 3D models, and game not changed...

What if the older renditions like from Alpha or Closed Beta had something wrong with it and only the devs could see.
i don't know what they want or see.
but know simple fact. in CB3 i have 60 fps on low settings, without config changes. with some tweak i have 70-80 and 50-60 fps drop in fight.
with ascention (when devs improve performance) i have 30-40 fps on default low settings. and only with my current config (where i killed all textures) i can have 80 fps.
and i have some questions!
devs delete hud because we want better performance! devs rework textures in ascention, cuz we want better performance!
but if it were to improve the performance, then why all works for me 2 times worse than it was before_
also, weapon spread and walking acceleratio, vertical look limit, have no relation with performance. It was removed because of whining players (noobs), which even do not play this game now! because now the say: "
why this game looks like fuzzy bunny_ i see another game in video!" (i'm not talking about topic starter, he is good guy :3 i'm talked about other noob, who can't use old TOW because rocket have spiral trajectory. lol.)
zamboni talking about the reason of delete spiral tow. the most of reason to rework TOW not in performance, just because ppl don't understand how it's workind. they just change "good UE3 animation" on "ordinary RL animation from Q3"

i don't remember another topic (but if u want, i try find) where hughes says about old hud, where 2 reason - performance (i actually don't know why, because i think parameters like mech speed, height coordinates and distance still working inside game, just early they can drawing in crosshair, actually i don't what this create a high overloading for PC, compared with texturex or smoke for example.)
and the second reason - unreadable for player, people ask delete big yellow circles (text with XP after killing) but instead this, devs delete all hud...=/
Where the logic_

Once again performance issues, it can lag the computer badly. It wasn't necessarily supposed to deal with those arguments, but it was mainly for increasing performance.
hm...smoke decrease performance. Yes. It's totally true.
Did you know that smoke from the missiles and bullets trace can be removed in the game config_ u can totally turn of this if u want. totally.
It's working in open-beta and it's get not bad result.
just change 2 values, and u FPS not drop while combat!
Also, i working in config and test some thing early.
Smoke - not the worst thing that reduces ur FPS. Distortion effect around the explosion - much worse than the smoke.
Why devs just not create option in advanced Configuration "Reduced level of smoke"_
why_

2 years later. Maybe they realized return old-HUD and spread after 2 next years_

Do you still find this game fun_ Are you hoping for more changes_ I'm sure you are saying 'yes' to both of these questions.
it's true. for both.
i'm still here, because i hate fantasy. i's game was somthing unique what i like. and sure, i hope devs create hawken closer to original.
I am not interested in the game graphics. I can even play in text-quest or rogue and it was normal for me.
But this does not mean that I like how they changed it. I'm not sick of it only because I see monochrome gray mech on gray maps.
Gameplay not so bad now. but I like gameplay less than it was before. and i like than devs delete ascension TTK. and little closer to CB3 version TTK.
also, I have no alternative online game. After hawken i don't love Q3 and other shooters which i play previously. The recently released TitanFall on check is even more sh*t, than Hawken now. Just clone of "OutWars+Hawken dodges+mech from matrix" and Hoolywood speceffects. nothing interest. Better play in old OutWars again.

I respect you Nepa, but please calm down.
But such topics every time increase the level of my aggression.
my mustache is resent.
