So I recently actually gave this game a try, after paying in Open Beta a few times and I regret not sinking hundreds upon hundreds of hours into it.

Anywho on to my "Mech Reviews"

Brawler:  Sloooooooooooooooow, huts like a spiked bat when I can pull it off, tanks like a champion, and all in all is a peekaboo brick wall with a sledge hammer waiting to bonk you on the head.  Let it get close and you will regret it, run around it and abuse its burst and you can kill em no sweat.

Rocketeer: With the seeker this machine is a mid to long range force to be reckoned with, with the ability to peek out, lock on, fire a salvo (Which does a surprising amount of damage when they all hit) then duck back into cover you have the ability to show groups of enemies how much it hurts to be alive.  Burst damage when flanking is respectable, and all in all it isn't all that slow (Remember I've only really piloted the Heavy Mechs).  Never really had a problem keeping up with my team.  When alone and cornered into CQC this thing falls apart so quickly if you cant back up, chasing it down a long hallway is not recommended but in a tight room its hard to no laugh as it misses all its shots (or maybe I'm bad).  With the EOC Repeater thingamabob this baby can set traps and deal some good medium range damage.  As I am new I have not mastered the EOC and cannot use it to its full capability but when someone is sitting still and you can get the full burst my god it is satisfying.

Vanguard/Manguard/Cupcakeguard:  So this thing is pretty much perfection to me...  I have played 1 game with it at the time of writing this (yes only one game) and It tore everything to shreds.  Its quick, takes a beating, and the turret mode can be incredible if used right.  I really have no other words for this magnificent specimen of virtual metal.  Perfection.

Thanks for reading Techno's Noobtastic Mech Reviews, I think I'll be picking up a Reaper next.

Cheers

Here's your review of the Gren. If you're good, it's a giant exploding bowling ball of death. If you're bad, it's a curled up potato bug flailing it's arms around.

C class counters B class. B class counters A class and A class counters C class. On most cases.

For the heavies you haven't tried yet, click my sig to learn more about them. And beware the brawler. Fat scouts will devour you if you give them the chance. Don't make the mistake of stepping onto their turf.

Oh yeah, I also go over all the weapons each mech has in my videos. I own all the mechs and all the weapons and I can play decently with them all. Give them a look for when you're looking to buy new weapons or learn one. By the way, EOC repeater is one of my best and my favorites, so you can look up how to use it there.

Your text is bad. Why would I do good against C class then_ With all A classes but being trumped by them when playing as B class. By the way gotta love that beefy Brawler. So good.

I beat a C class in a B class. I beat a B class in an A class. I beat an A class in a C class.

And I'm sure many other players do as well. Hawken isn't as rock paper scissors as you might think. It isn't at all, actually.

I was actually being nice compared to what I usually post.

Lol, about anyone can kill C mechs in an A mech in scrubpubs.
It's even doable in 2k MMR rooms.
Thing is, a good C class pilot will win from a good A class pilot.

I kill any weight class with any weight class in those scrubpubs, nothing special about it.
That you get owned by C classes as a B class in low MMR pubs isn't my problem.
Simply means you're a baddy. :)

I'm  afraid that YOUR text is bad. ;)
