HAWKEN is an extremely robust game with a lot of offerings. Because of that, we wanted to make sure that we provided some tutorials for users who are new to our Closed Beta.
Behold, tutorials!

Basic Training I: Garage


Basic Training II


Siege Mode


Missile Assault Mode

Thanks for these too

But... Will i be able to use a xbox 360 or PS3 controller in the game_ if not would be Sweet to add.

This should be added on GAME INFO on the first page.

Actually, that part should have way more info then it have now.
To those who never heard about Hawken it would be nice to see the diference between classes, type of weapons, abilities tree and such...
Also its nice to mess around with these informations when the beta is offline.

I liked the radio static effect added to the voice for the basic combat training video, but it is a little hard to understand exactly what is said when there are explosions and stuff. Also, the outro "buzzzz" of the Hawken logo makes the first part of the "visit playhawken.com yadda yadda" a little hard to hear sometimes too.

Overall great videos, they will surely help newcomers, however there are a few tiny things I'd like added to them:

Garage Vid:

• Needs to mention that once unlocked that particular internal or usable item will stay unlocked forever even if you buy different items/internals
  
• Need to say that internals and items are only usable on the mech your purchased them on, so if you swap to another mech you need to buy them again in order to equip them on that mech.
  
• More emphasis on how the bodyshop and paint shop are purely aesthetical, and provide no bonus to your mech's stats (Some may think they have to buy both internals, do optimisations AND get the "best" body parts.)

Combat Vid:

• Mention something about the 180 spin (shift+s)
  
• Might be an idea to mention that you can only zoom in with the sabot rifle.
  
• Mention that while repairing you are not able to move and are very vulnerable because you can't repair faster than you take damage. (I have seen people go into repair mode mid fight out in the open, thinking they will repair faster than they take damage or something.)

Missile Vid:

• Slightly more emphasis on where you have to stand to capture, highlight the ring around the silo like you do for the hud indicator maybe_

Siege Vid:

• Again, slightly more emphasis on the ring you need to stand in for the AA silo.
  
• Mention that battleships get tougher and tougher as more are launched, meaning that control of the AA silo is very important if you want to win.

Thanks for all the work on getting the wiki up. Will definitely help with theorycrafting builds once we get more concrete numbers in the open beta.
