Yeah, but if I load up Hawken and I don't see any available games for a couple minutes I just close the program. Most of the games available are one star games and those are no fun after two or three games. Playing on a team at some competitive level is really the only time I have fun with the game at the moment. I can usually find someone to do 1v1s with, but that's not my strong suite and I don't really enjoy them.

However, when I'm playing Hawken the way it's meant to be played, I have a blast. Straddling that line really makes me appreciate my position as an event host.

I only have fun when I dream about gameplay without the weapon raise delay.

I know from firsthand experience that Hawken is better.


I agree.

I still have a blast whenever I play. Mainly because I love to Yolo dive into the entire enemy team and see how long I can dance around before they take me down.

Not really much fun here anymore. Pub server over pub server. Even in comp play, basics of aome gamemodes have to be explained again.
No servers available and if one, then it is just a one star server playing TDM.
The thing I miss the most is the fightclub. No real fightclub appeared in Europe yet.
Additionally, everyone seems to hate me, though I am a nice guy QQ xd

Personally, Ill never get tired of the mobility mechanics this game offers. This game is quite nearly the game Ive always wanted. Still needs some love to get better, though.
And 1v1 duels are always fun, for me

Best part of this game is Fighting against Higher skilled players than myself. It feels really good when I can best them in combat at least once during the match. even if I lose I learn something from the match. so yeah I have tons of fun.

I have fun until I run into those 2300+ mmr smurfs in 1300 mmr matches who get 5x the 2nd place player's score and end the match in 10 seconds lol. It's definitely fun though.

You can put me on a 1v6 team with no weapons and I will still have fun playing this game.

Hawken can be very frustrating for me as I have as many reasons to like the game as I do to not like the game. Whenever I recognize that I'm not enjoying it, I'll stop playing for a little while. I'm on one of those breaks right now.

So you're saying you're a masochist?

I still have fun. Sometimes it can be pretty meh though. I kind of got more than my fill of HAWKEN this weekend though thanks to another bonus XP event (and code). Some days I don't play, then I'll jump in again and have some awesome rounds of MA, Siege and TDM on my favorite maps.

 

I would love to see a new Siege and MA worthy map or two freshen things up.

I cannot stand playing pub in this game any more, leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. On the other hand, playing this game with clan members or playing on Ultra Violent Wednesdays where everyone on TS and the standard of play is pretty high makes this such a fun game to play. Without long standing players who decided to weather "The Great Silence" I would of left this game a long time ago.

Still, even on UVWW, it gets boring. It is the same, every single time. It is noteven an archievement to kill the titan if the titan has no kills, it is no fun to paly Hawken in a modified way, it is simply no fun.

 

And yea, pub matches are sooo boring and annoying. But in order to play Hawken at all, I/we are forced to join one star servers or if these are not there (whic his often the case), we have to use the matchmaker or create smurf accounts, which is no fun at all either.

 

If the matches would be more serious, like clan vs clan with leaderboards and clan bonuses as well as official fightclubs with high rewards (unique paint jobs, MC, mechs and whatnot to unlock) would also be quite cool.

it seems like a lot of the "not fun" comments come from highly skilled players not being able to find matches at their skill level. i guess there are perks to being an average player as i am. there are always plenty of servers full of average players.

Just played some matches today again and tried out the Raider (EOC). Geez, so boring. It doesn't matter anymore if it is a 3 star server or whatever server.

 

Currently my daily routine:

 

1. Join Server

2. Select random mech

3. Seeing bad teammates

3.1. In case of a Siege or MA game, askign my team not to defend and wait for the defeat.

4. Leave match, play with mechs in garage

5. Repeat

 

 

The only, really the only fun thing in Hawken is currently Deathmatch on the CA Server, just messing around with people, it's like a big public place where people come and go to do rando mstuff (duels, fighting, climbing, tests, chilling, chatting, etc.). But unfortunately, this server is rarely populated.

Pubs can be exhausting. I make a point play them because I feel it makes me a better Tech to have to do my job with a team that may not be working together and being a better Tech is fun. I'm also the type that gets fulfillment from hard work. I have the most fun on comms with the guys. I guess Hawken doesn't get boring to me because I knew what it was when I started. My expectations for comp based FPS are pretty realistic. I'm gonna launch the game, ensure my loadouts are in order, que up, shoot things, look at my score, repeat. I can't really get mad if it's a rinse and repeat process. It's what I signed up for. It's gonna be frustrating when I'm 2300+ and can't catch a round.

With an attitude like that, you'll have no problem asking all the other 2300+ people you know and play with regularly at that point for an organized match or to just all hop in a server together.

I'm actually having more fun than I've ever had before in Hawken!  I'm raging less than I was just a month ago.  Now if I get drop-kicked by the enemy team, I just think "Aww Jeeze" and respawn keeping a closer eye on my teammates so that I know where my outs are before I begin each fight.  I'm still trying to git gud, and it ain't easy, but I wanted to learn to play on a not-easy level.  I've been looking for a game to sink my teeth into and actually TRY a little at for a long time.  Between this and the new Unreal Tournament, I think I'm set for a long time.

 

I'll save the easy-mode, narrative-loving mental autopilot for Firefall (I know, guilty pleasure) and the new Witcher game.  This game exists to wrickity-wreck some mechs.

The highly competitive players of Hawken ruined this game since day 1. They're completely selfish when it comes down to having fun for both teams. 
Then they have the GALL to drop orbs around the corner or toss emps to last even longer. They're completely despicable.
