As of now, information has been released indicating 3 classes and quite a few interchangeable weapons. So how do you intend to play_ Will you be a big, brutish mech with big guns and even bigger-_ How about something light and agile, sniping or small skirmishes to wear down the enemy_ Thought about something in between_

[TMRNetShark]

Spray and pray. I find it the coolest because I'm essentially putting a wall of bullets in your direction. That, and I think it's really dramatic from an upward angle of the mech with empty bullet casings falling from the ejection port.

[NaloaC]

A little bit of everything I reckon.

I like up close and personal with spray and pray or a good shotgun/flak, but sometimes getting that sweet AM/Sniper shot then closing in for the kill is fun.

It's definately going to depend on the map and how I feel like playing. Then again, if I could strap 2 gatling cannons on, I'll be a happy little mecha-pilot

My comfort zone lies in the perfect balance between mobility and protective armor. I tend to use one medium-ranged weapon as a crutch, with a secondary serving as more of an experimental variable on the battlefield. In terms of playstyle, I prefer the "Bird of Prey" approach. I'll take to the canopies of the concrete jungles and hunt those I deem vulnerable.  :twisted:

The bigger the better right_  A heavy mech with some super powerful rocket launcher or something is what you'll see me doing 8-)

[Qwet]

hmm i like playing things that would surprise people say for instance light weight but heavy hitting people may think oh easy target but get to close and you'll go boom.

so id be something of a jack of all trades. i would want to play many combinations to get a feel for what weapons and mech classes i like though.

"Rocketlaunchingmachinegunningmechofdoom!"

I think this about sums it up.

To put it as exactly as I can....


MOAR DAKKA!!!!!

We mech mechanics play a tactical game always sniping. Runing the mill and flying is not a wise strategy. However I depend on speed and precision for survival.

If your title is any indication, does that mean I'll usually find you in the repair mode quite often_ Let's hope the love of your craft doesn't get you killed on the battlefield, Cupcake  friend.

You hav'ta go there....:-/...


Let see how your words serves you in the battlefield...


And my arena is PC....

[Lev_Astov]

I've always appreciated the tactical heavy style.  I'll be causing as much trouble as I can then ducking behind a building to repair/lure people into traps.  I'll die a lot, but I'll take a lot more people with me as I always do.

I'm really hoping for a game mode where you respawn.

I like to explore every possible play style when it comes to a game, but my favorite is being that swift gnat that keeps rushing around you pelting you with bullets!

[Mindtroverted]

I`d prefer a swift, agile mech with a powerful, almost-one-hit-kill weapon. I`d enrage an enemy and quickly retreat, position myself steadily and wait until he gets close enough so I can get a decent shot, then fire a single bullet, leaving the guy vulnerable to light attacks by other parties while I`d be swiftly on my way to somewhere else carried on the winds of the enormous recoil that sniper gun would have.

[FatNinjaWalrus]

im gonna wait and see how everything handles. that way i can figure out what i'm good at, what i WANT to be good at, and what clicks with me. then i'm probably going to try to make sure i can play a little bit of everything, that way i can adapt as we need it. my flexibility in team fortress 2 makes me pretty helpful, i'd like to be able to do that here, as well.

[BB089v2]

I prefer Sniping. Long, drawn out battles can get annoying. However, I do like to change it up a bit to keep things more interesting. Hardcore Sniping, the act of sniping without staying in one position for longer than 30 seconds.

[Flamel]

I'll definitely try out the different mechs, but I typically go for medium. I feel a little too clunky with the heavy mech, and I like the protection and mobility of the medium. We'll have to see how it goes though, as I'm fairly new to Hawken

[BillyFB]

As always the main concern is balance, as for me I'm a semi-sniper guy, just give-me a slow rate accurate machine gun and a heavier shotgun like or missile launcher type for high damage close combat, and I'll be ready to face the world! I don't do compromise and like to always have options.

[FirstSgtDan]

I'd go for some kind of specialized mech. If I could, I'd specialize in rockets and missiles only, a mech like that would have problems in CQB but could be pretty annoying at mid and mid-short-range... In a logical theory.
