Hawken is dead. It is on its last leg and reloaded is not fixing or improving it. They are working on the next hawken. So do not hold you breath.
Hackers and cheaters run rampant in this game now. (reloaded will not even answer a support ticket so so not bother)
Vets make groups and death ball Noobs all day
Your average beginner does not know what regroup means or even understands that you have to get in a group in TEAM DEATH MATCH.
And god help you if you are support because you will always be last on your board even if you do damage. Why is that because to get ZERO points for the damage or assist on the person that took the damage unless he dies, no Death no points. I have done tremendous amounts of damage as pred and gren only get ZERO points for it.because my team will not push .
Even though it took one or two of the enemy's out of the fray for 20 seconds so they could heal gave my team a few kills because the other team was a few man down but that does not matter. Support you get totally Fu%$en in this game.
So I have come to several conclusions one just play assault and zerker they are the most op mechs in the game
walk and wait
attack in swarm one person in swarm then next then next then next
emp emp emp it is the most op item in the outside of scanner that breaks pred and infi ability totally.
Orb lord always
If you are the poor Bas%ard that gets the team tat will not team up or support you at all I suggest raider with adv reconstructer and avd armor fuser. walk watch radar let them kill teammate that they are working on then attack weakest one or two blitz double around an walk by the time you get back you will be healed and blitz will be active again .... all you can do is use your team like bait if they solo
If you want to get at the top of the mvp
play gren walk get as close as you can and nuke a person then get out teh other team will start to focus on you after you get like 7 - 8 kills then you go pred you will stay mvp because you dammage ratio is high but you have to get the kills if you do not you damage does not count i wild say raider and gren are good mechs for burst damage pred is only good to keep them from killing you after you are mvp. eoc can be good but in my opinion for all teh damage done with eoc I get less than half the points for it because teams do not push aggressively enough.
Hackers and exploits I see a lot of people using exploits. Getting above the skyline ( flowers the flowery) does it all the time. His response was you have to get reloaded to respond to the ticket and he is right. ahole that he is.
So you have two choices with exploits and hacks in this game three actually
Quit the game
Use exploits and hacks yourself
Or three when you see someone hacking using a exploit learn where it is tell you team to move out of that area. They will be forced to move as well.
The 4th option would be my choice which would be everyone on both teams stop and let the hacker or exploiter be focused on and have his team emp him while the enemy team just killed him over and over that would be a effective way to get hackers out of a game you love as a community BUT THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
Lastly just play assault and zerker with emp
emp shuts down everything
scanner breaks pred and infi
personally I do not see the point anymore of playing a game with such a small community
where one third of the players are hackers and exploiters one third is beginners and one third is vets.
I do not see the point in a game where it is just a toss up weather you will get a fair game or game where people actually play as a team in team death match.
right now your odds of getting a team that death balls are 50 % your skill level does not matter.
You have a 50 % chance to be the team getting death balled
If you get three friends in a group and pug you can bring the chances that you death ball up dramatically pick op mechs assult and zerker tech with a heavy and you are on you way to winning in a game that will not be around in six months.
Personally I use to get good games all the time I am a mid range player that was pretty good at eoc pred and support with gren and a flash raider ....but now no one looks out for team members everyone rushes in and dies no one use cover or radar... and on the other side hackers use aim bot and wall hack all day and are on you instantly when you turn a coner.
SO R.I.P hawken you use to be a good game with a good community. Now this game just pisses me off so I will go find something else to play again.
Reloaded you should just grow some balls and tell the hawken community that you are making a new game. The fact that is game has as many hackers in it does not give me faith that whatever you create will be free of hackers.
also after reloaded having the game for over a year and a half there are still server and ping issues... why do i get 50 ping and then it jumps to over 600 I do not have that problem with Any other game .. GUESS IS DOES NOT MATTER HAWKEN IS DEAD
