[font=Helvetica]Enlisted a few days after the Steam launch, long-time forum lurker, happy to be here![/font]
[font=Helvetica]I ran Fred for a short while [until maybe level 5], used my 400 MC [or whatever it was] on a 3-day HC boost and then purchased my first mech, a Technician. [/font]
[font=Helvetica]In online fps games like Wolfenstein [The older, 2004 – era one] I had the most fun playing a medic, so I figured I'd try that right off the bat in Hawken.
MediCanada was great fun, and I enjoyed being in on the joke that he would never get a prestige weapon [The devs sure showed us, eh_] and leveled him up to full. [/font]
[font=Helvetica]After seeing the death and destruction a tech and Incinerator could deliver as a team, I knew what my next mech would be. [/font]
[font=Helvetica]Burning Bowl gave me the most fun so far, and still suppresses those reds in siege like no other. With a tech like sweatiest_pig or Limp_Noodle keeping me on a tight leash, I can completely set the enemy's hopes aflame. [/font]
[font=Helvetica]Next up was Trypticon the Rocketeer, which is my go-to mech in times of great strife, piloted like a heavy with a jetpack in Gotham City Impostors [another fun free-to-play FPS]. By far the most beastly mech for me to go on a rampage with, at least with my current skills. [/font]
[font=Helvetica]As I learned and developed strategies for MA and siege, I realized I would want both a Scout and Infiltrator. [/font]
[font=Helvetica]Then the G2 Assault dropped, and I thought it was the bug's nugs, so I instead bought the Assault [Smackdown] and worked on leveling him up. Finally finished him and got the G2 [T-1000] and haven't used it for more than a few minutes since. silly Dia...[/font]
[font=Helvetica]Eventually I had enough HC to get Professor Zoom and Oh Hai, my scout and infil. They have served me well in MA and siege respectively and are great fun to pilot. [/font]
[font=Helvetica]I am nearing level 6 on my Raider in anticipation of getting the G2, but from all the comments I've read here I might get a Berzerker instead until an update makes current Raider G2 owners happy. Thoughts_[/font]
[font=Helvetica]I also have grabbed one each of the Bruiser, Brawler, and Grenadier but haven't used those enough to reach level 2 yet. Left to get for my fleet (but no rush) are Vanguard, Sharpshooter, Berzerker, Reaper, Predator, and Sharpshooter.[/font]
[font=Helvetica]Great forum, I’ve learned a lot lurking here and am looking forward to contributing![/font]
