Hello, I am new here, I hope to fit in quite well. I was simply wondering what would your favorite mech be and why? To start off I enjoy the CT-Recruit ("Fred").
What is your Favorite Mech?

Hi, welcome.
My favorite mech is the Grenadier. Specifically RevGL Grenadier. Because it's hard and grenades, and aiming projectiles. No spamming.

The one we'll likely never see: the Super-Heavy D-frame Siege Mech.
reasons: Big, Beastly, Butt Blistering Badass.
Put a pocket Tech on that horror-story and let the "OP!" wailing commence.

... what would your favorite mech be and why?...
Assault and then Hawkins Brawler are 2 of my favorites as well because I like the versatile combination of a primary sustain weapon and the detonating TOW secondary.

Tech is by far my fav, any style from raw to well done, preferably dipped in some sniper's carcass as scouts seem too bitter.
As a new person , why do you prefer Fred and why did you buy it additional to the assault you already owned?

Please share some tips for both, if you would.
Assault and then Hawkins Brawler are 2 of my favorites as well because I like the versatile combination of a primary sustain weapon and the detonating TOW secondary.
Assault is such a well-balanced mech that I can't really think of a specific tip that applies only to the Assault. A player with a strong grasp of Hawken fundamentals will do well in an Assault. It's a super forgiving mech - you have coolant so you don't have to be as careful with your heat, and it's fast enough that you can generally get yourself out of trouble if you're aware enough.
I found that playing Brawler exclusively for a month or two taught me a lot about positioning, and that ended up helping with my Assault play. The Brawler has absolutely no escape method, so it forced me to develop my map sense and battle awareness because otherwise I'd just keep dying.
So, with that said, here's a few tips for the Brawler:
- Don't overextend. You are so slow that you'll die. That means looking at your radar to watch your allies and see where they are - stay next to them so that the incoming damage is split between you and your allies. Any Brawler that complains about not having their team around is doing a terrible job of ensuring that they travel with their team and, as a result, are bad Brawler pilots. Did your team split up? Follow the larger group. Did they go in five individual directions? Follow the pilot closest to you. Make the best of what you have, period.
- Don't boost too much when you think you're in radar range of enemies. Players expect A classes and preds to be lurking around, but their butts pucker up real quick when a Brawler slides out of nowhere and goes full ham (assuming the Brawler isn't overextended). Then again, if you're in a full-on fight, then boost to your heart's content to ensure you're positioning correctly.
- Don't slide out of cover unless you know what's there. Dodge cooldowns are long on a Brawler, and it's especially painful when your dodge is on cooldown as you take fire for making a stupid positioning decision.
- Be intelligent about when you dodge. Don't dodge just because you see an enemy - wait until they fire their secondary, or do it when you know you can break their aim on your chassis. Those Brawler dodge cooldowns can be painful. This is an important, but difficult, habit to develop for a lot of people including myself.
- While a Brawler can stay out in the open and take damage, you must develop a sense of when to retreat. That's based on a vague formula with variables comprised of (1) how far away are you from effective cover, (2) how many allies you have around to prevent the enemy from jumping you while you're repairing, and (3) how many enemies are trying to push. This sense comes with time, but eventually you'll be turning around to repair at just the right moment and coming back with full health to continue the fight.
- Slide towards your enemy to cover distance. Brawler walk/running speed is like drunk guy crawling speed. Make sure to start turning back towards your enemy as soon as you've initiated the dodge so that you can take advantage to the turn cap break.
- I enjoy carrying EMPs and shields as my item loadout, because you can throw down a shield behind you to help absorb incoming damage as you flee with all the grace of a drunk elephant down narrow corridors. If anyone is eager enough to follow, turn around and throw your now ready EMP at the shield and let them know how you feel about being followed.
- Advanced armor fusor and advanced reconstructor are safe bets. Sometimes I'll run a basic fuel converter because you'll be absorbing a lot of damage anyways, and that means more fuel to retreat and heal.
- I never use my ability. It makes a slow-moving mech nearly immobile and a massive EMP target. Don't stop moving with a Brawler, cause you'll already not be moving enough as it is.
As I said before, the lessons you learn with a Brawler can be applied to the Assault and just about any other mech. You can work on your tracing and remote detonation skills by doing duels with a buddy in a DM server.

I am a scout player. Normally play with heat cannon as of late.
The Ord is a close second favorite, but I can't really aim well with it on console compared to PC.

btw, did you add some info about new mechs to site? i mean, playhawken.com/ guides
you tell that devs planning update in early 2017, so, we are awaiting it, and still interesting about what coming in final result to PC.
think we (community) can know some news from consoles, because later or sooner this train came to PC, right?
i also notice, that every time when i posting some news/videos/interesting stuff in russian hawken group, i see several new russian players in bot-TDM or low lvl lobby. and also some people came to ask "what new in game?", "did it some changes?" etc.
I mean, some people still interesting in game, and periodically return to play a little, and see what happen with game when they see news on russian site.
I think it is cool. more news/info -> more interest from mech-fans. we still should find info about abilities, mechs and other in youtube, instead official site :/

Scout, EOC Infil, and Vanguard. Probably all equally my favorites. Ive kind of resigned to playing those three exclusively. They all play similarly and its that type of mech play I like. Tech is fun too if there are enough fat guys on my team. I think its dishonest to your MMR to use tech too much though.
