I spend more time posting and reading the forums than playing Hawken... because I'm sitting in a mostly empty lobby waiting for enough players to start a match of Siege or Missile Assault.  If fewer people copped out and kept playing TDM because they don't want to wait for Siege or MA, then I probably wouldn't post here as much, cuz mah lobbies would be fully filled.

just curious ,, on what region do you play the game?

 

add me to your friends list if you wish; EU region here

I'm in the US Midwest.  Thing is, I don't like DM and TDM, I like objectives... so, in the busiest region for this game, at the busiest hours of the day for gaming in the US (8pm - 11pm), I still have to sit around for 20-40 minutes if I want to play a Siege or MA game.

To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

Lol. Most of the die hards are playing the fuzz out of MA in preparation for TPG S4. I don't think you're gonna find too many MA matches, cuz most of us groan at the thought of playing pub MA.

Dunno about SG, outside of warwed, and the occasional match on charcoal's siege hole.

I like going against the best of any game I play. Helps you in the long run n motivates u to do more. Always room for improvement not failure

I guess "Scout is easy to hit" is a trigger phrase for me.

There is nothing wrong with scouts, they are my favorite prey. Where they belong.

Eww a G2 Raider with an ego. I'm just trying to earn more hc to feed my family. Scouts wouldn't be a problem if hitreg wasn't such a problem.

MA Objective: Beat other team while standing in certain spots.

Siege Objective: Collect and deliver EU

 

Siege objectives in depth:

- Map exploration until the enemy launches their ship, it's good to know your map and surroundings just in case for enemies

- When the enemy ship is launched, collect EU, because now it's safe because there are no enemies at the trees

- Go by the AA, tactical donation of EU to the enemy, because having a full EU tank causes anxiety and anxiety is bad

- When your base needs 100 more EU to launch your ship, collect EU tanks to full, and the whole team needs to deliver their full tanks at the same time for maximum efficiency

- This is the complicated part, but good teams will make it work: launch your ship only when you see that the AA has 3 or more enemy players than your own players on it and your team has low armor values

I just spook them when they go around a corner. 90% of their health gone.

You know?

 

after been playing my second Scout for some few weeks again, I think there's nothing wrong about it. Makes me think that If you see exaggerated performances by other Scout pilots on the field then what you're probably seeing is some speed hack in action or experiencing lag -or maybe that other Scout guy is playing with really good ping whilst you're not..

In my most humblest of opinions you have to be patient with a scout then unleash a money shot and BOOM they're done. They can only zig-zag so much before they're dead in the water. Be patient, don't blow your load too early and they'll learn where the true power on the battlefield is. Combine this with watching your back when fighting other mechs (aka sticking with your fellow robros) and they'll be minimized.

The scout is my favorite mech to punch square in the teeth.  I can almost always beat players of my skill level 1:1 because they are overconfident and get stupid.  Just fire a tow right where they are about to dodge and finish off the tin can with smc. 

 

It's been a while since I Hawkened though.

Any man I see out there, I'm gonna shoot him. Any sumbitch takes a shot at me, I'm not only gonna kill him, but I'm gonna kill his wife, all his friends, and burn his damn house down.

it's hard to hit them with rev-gl but when it connects it feels great and they loose their fuzzy bunny most of the times
