Thinking Tribes, Unreal Tournament, Armored Core, Titanfall, Mech Warrior, Exteel, (And for the indie guys Strike Vector), (And weeaboos, you got S4 League, and Cosmic Break)

What other types of gamers would be easy targets, for getting them into Hawken?

Any game featuring customization/personalization of one's "character"/car or robot*

maybe gamers who like it rough at the begining? Like Dark souls. Some like to be punished real hard. So maybe a harder/more advanced training boot camp vs A.I? Encouraging new players to learn not to die instead of just figuring out controls?

In general gamers who have a high frustration tolerance and gamers who prefer arcade style PvP competetive gaming before cineastic-quick-time-event-driven-interactive movies.

Played Strike Vector for a while, but it feels unfinished and the playerbase is equal to Hawken, if not lower. What about Descent players? Or the latest Descent-like game called "Sublevel Zero". It is actually growing a playerbase.

So wait until they get bored then start recruiting them. :) 

I was building maps for FarCry3 multiplayer a couple of years ago. I was checking for their well being and there are still people playing this. Tried to recruit them for Hawken. But you know.. Hawken has no palm trees and pirates. No weed and no wingsuit... So I bet they'll stay on the island or in Kyriat. 

What about Blacklight Retribution players? They'd all be excellent Pred players, I guess:)

Most of these people would be INTERESTED in Hawken, I'll give you that. Titanfall and Mechwarrior players drop it pretty quick though because it's either too visually static or too fast, respectively. Tribes and Unreal players generally end up not liking it either for what they perceive as a low skill ceiling.

People who are sick and tired of every FPS game being a clone of Modern Warfare and all the others like it.

 

People who want to play a first person VIDEO GAME, not a first person simulator (which has tons of stupid arcade gimmicks and tons of vertical progression).

 

People who want to play a mech game, but don't want to spend 45 minutes farting around with 5000 options to figure out what the optimal/meta setup should be before they can even go online and play a decent match.

 

People who want something different.

 

That's who.

Hrmm, how about Halo or Planetside players?

I love quake3. And mechs.

Hawken target audience probably can't be an "easy target". Cuz you should love mechs, shooter, speed, explosions, and be a masochist to play in hawken :P
You also should always whining every time, and be a pro in shooter games.

To many variables to call it easy...

That and also there's another obvious group of people. Like blindly obvious.

TF2 players.

You got a medic, engineer sentries, spy, pyro, sniper, soldier rockets, "heavy", "scout", manual detonation explosives and sticky bomb launchers.

And it's got solo+teamwork based gameplay.

-

Heck, maybe that's what the Devs should do. Put out some Garry's mod models for Hawken mechs.

Or make some sort of TF2 Mech hat.

Or TF2 Medic repair droid in Hawken.

Or we need some Hawken machinima guy to redo the "Meet the Scout" videos, with TF2 audio, and Hawken visuals.

Ahh, I remember Exteel. Good times. That game has a lot of similarities to Hawken.

Ooh, or what if they changed the home base area where you deposit your EU into a control points.

And make a push-pull game mode with 5x control points, TF2 style.

Yeah, I racked up ~400 hours of TF2 in 1 year.

Bear in mind I'm a student and as such don't have a wonderfully game-convenient schedule during weekdays.

Then I found HAWKEN and slowly my time leeched over to it.

On the subject of Gmod models I'm sure Bluetooth Boy or one of the other talented people could probably whip something up

As for Garry's mod, i think this is a good idea, has a lot of potential to expose new players.

I played CosmicBreak with over a 1000 hours a year; about 2.5 years total with around ~2960 hours.

I'm just going to say that community's much worse than League of Legends' is.

Racism and other bs being spewed around in almost every match; I guess that's why I'm insensitive to it now.

 

I honestly miss the game it was a long time ago, but in it's current state I like HAWKEN much more.

Any SciFi/FPS player that thinks there is other things than '2shots' or 'headshots' gameplay.
