I'm just starting out with my channel, and I'm interested in playing Hawken and giving it some exposure. Here is my first video, mainly aimed at those who don't already play. I just talk about the game and try (and mostly fail D:)  to add some humor in there. If you would like to help me out with a like that would be appreciated. If you would like to see more Hawken, feel free to subscribe, or if you just have feedback that's very welcomed as well!

Haha, nice!

These are the joys of a low level server.

Though your movement is a bit slow and jerky. Are you playing with a controller_

@twentyfirstpilot No haha. I'm using mouse and kb. Maybe I'm just a twitchy player. I will make an extra effort to be faster and smoother in my next video  ;P thanks for the feedback.

Make sure to adjust your sensitivity settings as well. Hawken's default sensitivity is way too high for most players.

You know what, that's probably it. I never adjusted my settings, and on top of that I have a high dpi setting on my mouse. Thank you so much for pointing that out.  No wonder I  have trouble sniping.

Yeah, that would do it. For the record, I play at 1600 DPI, 4 sen., on a 1080p monitor. With those settings, I don't even notice that there's a turning cap.

As well, using the Sharpshooter/Reaper's zoom ability doesn't lower your mouse sensitivity accordingly. For that reason, you might want to dial down your DPI while scoped. However, I don't main snips, so take any tips I offer on it with a grain of salt.

Edit: Also, @callouts don't work in this forum. You have to quote someone if you want to give them a notification-- though that is a setting that can be disabled.

I can't thank you enough. That should be an immense help.

And yeah, I'm on mobile so I  didn't see the quote button at first.

Alright, no worries.

Make sure to check out a few of these guides. They'll be helpful, especially since you bought quite a few mechs.

I like it. Surely not the words most people hear from me. May be you should just gather a party of guys and have some random fun. I would like to see intertaining videos about Hawken.

Thanks, that's really encouraging!
I will be be making another, this time to give the game a proper intro, before getting into some more gameplay commentary.

Hey if anyone is interested, I've made another.
