Personally im taking advantage now i can have two of the same mechs with different loadouts jumping between the two to change it up mid game throwing other players off .
Im curious what others here have done with there assaults,did you change its loadout or keep it the same?or didn't get it at all?

I didn't have an assault prior to getting the free one, so it's basically just my Assault. For the time being it will be my go-to B-Class mech, since my Raider isn't doing me any favors.

The assault's cost is 0 MC at the moment, so you can fill your garage with them... If someone did that, his garage is a mess now. Yes, he can put those assaults to the end of the "mech selector line", but still... A "fix" isn't necessary, but later, I hope it will be added.

Having the assault has certainly had an impact ive been jumping into one star games full of all assaults lol.

They killed the CRT recruit since they makes the assault as recruit mech, no one likes the CRT recruit at first sight, the only thing because we learned to love it was cause was our first mech, now the new players will not buy this television with legs if arent forced to buy it

You can still buy the CRT chassis or use the CRT that you already have. IMO, killing the CRT was a good thing... it was altogether useless next to the Assault.

Assaults ...
"Buy an Assault today! It does not matter if you are mentally retarded or if you are physically handicapped, in an Assault, pressing the fire mechanism is enough to compete with highly trained pilots! Even C-Classes will fear you!
Don't wait, purchase one Assault today and get the full equipment for free!"

This was not intentional and has been fixed.

How horrible that new players can actually have fun and contribute to the game. The assault's ease of use makes it easy for them to get kills and assists while keeping them alive for a decent time, but their lack of skill will stop them from actually topping scoreboards or climbing the MMR ladder.
The only C-Class pilots that 'fear' unskilled assaults (Instead of merely have a healthy respect for them), are those that are unskilled themselves.

When ou are very damaged and one of this new assaults jumps on you and kills you, i cant stop think in old times was a diference between this who earned his mechs and who not, on beguning they was totally lost if they dont grind some internals , basically only could did some asist , but now they can start trolling withouth has won his mechs, its kinda injustice because hawken its a very easy game so new players can kill you even if you are lvl 30 with a mech full upgraded , cause they only need learn few tricks to kills you since their assault its full upgraded likes you, with the old sistem old players could feed more easy their kills and show the diference beteween this who passed a lot of hours working in his mech and who not, anyway if the problem its they dont want the new players guet bored of grind, they could give a CRT full upgraded instead of a assault, because the only reason to exist for CRT its be the begunners robot, its even in his description , in the video tutorials and in everywhere, and no one will buy now this CRT even if its free because its ugly, so they killed the CRT and the experience of start with a ugly robot and end with a cool mech kicking the others, and all this withouth ask to comunity like when they changed the old HUD for the new, thats the matter in resume : they did a mess withouth ask to any player , like when they changed the HUD, killing the grow up experience and one of my favourite mechs, i sugest not continue doing randomly changes withouth asking to the comunity or they can start to think in sell hawken again to next developer, we need upgrades in the game not move one mech from up to down or modify the HUD o thing like this. I dont think post this will help, cause i advised yet to previous developer what they was doing wrong and they ignored the thousands of post about the HUD and other things but if someone care, its my opinion.

1.: A new player can't really kill an EOC infiltrator piloted by a pro. I can't really, that's why I say it.
2.: I don't really know, either why did they choose the assault. Maybe they wanted to give them a mech, which isn't just a starter mech, show them the G2 thing fast, idk, but it's cool I think, but I agree, CR-T has no longer a purpose.
3.: I didn't really look into this, but I think they did ask us about it.
+ Can you please go through your text once? I leave mistakes too, but your text is fulled with mistakes!

Question is why did they not add a light and heavy to complement the medium assault mech? I think variety should have played a big factor here to make it more interesting for new players and matches.
Would have been nice to see
- Assault
- grenadier
- Reaper
Now all I see IS GOD DAMN ASSAULTS
PARTY TIME EVERYONE!

Time basically.Question is why did they not add a light and heavy to complement the medium assault mech? I think variety should have played a big factor here to make it more interesting for new players and matches.
The option to pick from multiple mechs would require back end and client coding work. Reloaded just recently brought in a coder and has had less than a business day to look at the source code.
Switching to the assault was something that could be done Right Now to help with the perception of new players that fred was a bad mech. Also, a lot of new players thought fred looked bad and were upset over the grind needed to get a 'cool' looking mech.
Out of the available mechs, the assault, being a sibling of fred, was chosen as it, like fred, is designed as a multipurpose mech, so it was the best choice for a new player.
I know, right? Fred being a bad mech? The mind boggles...
Anyway, that's the reason why in a nutshell.
It's always been that way when a new mech was released, or the test drive mechs changed. We always saw a lot of $NEW_MECH or the test drives out in the field.Now all I see IS GOD DAMN ASSAULTS

Now, Fred needs an other ability to be interesting for those who have this free assault. The increase damage one ?

I'd like to have a "FrankenFred" Mech, I mean it's supposed to be made from scrap.
I just throw raw ideas :
- something such as a mimic of the secondary weapon of the last ennemy killed
- change its weapon loadout so that it has access to all sort of primaries : AR, reflak, EOC
- unique Mech that has acces to alternate secondary (Grenade Launcher ?)

Fred ability idea: the monitor turns on and blinds everyone who is looking at it. The ability is active for 5 seconds.

I'm sorry that the game isn't Pay2Win enough for your preferences. Playing and diversifying your loadouts in Hawken are supposed to be Sidegrades, not Upgrades. If you don't like losing to new players, stop sucking so bad at the game and use the time you invested into it to actually learn how to play.
Giving everyone a fully-upgraded assault is a great idea because of all your complaints against it - new players are actually able to compete in the game from the get-go, aren't treated as jokes, and can learn the game better and faster than they could trying to upgrade a Recruit from scratch (Or abandoning ship for another scratch mech). And, a fully-upgraded owned mech is better than a Test Drive mech because there is STILL progression to be earned (Levels to unlock the new skins and weapons), and the ability to sidegrade and personalize the internals and items.
"You must play for X hours before you can compete" is terrible design for a fully-competitive PvP game.
