The gren because she absolutely dominates maps with hallways.  It's fantastic melting down 1/2 the enemy team at once with all that splash.  Also, it's my favorite mech for taking on the over confident scout.  (as long as they aren't in the 2500 mmr range)

Predator has the most potential for outsmarting opponents--a thinking person's mech.

The Brawler:

 

Flak + TOW, a devastating one-two punch

 

So much fat, can out tank your ass

 

With a techie, EVEN MORE FAT

 

Good positioning + surprise = enemy team wiped

 

surviving a brawler ambush in tight quarters is hard

 

Shield duels like a BAWS

 

OrbLord + armor fusor and a good supply of orbs: I AM INVINCIBLE

 

Fat scout OP

B Classes are the best. I find A classes too squishy and C classes too slow, so Bs just are my thing. Course, I'm not very good...THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS THOUGH (incinerator cough cough)

ok honestly? for TDM or DM it's Vanguard. But last night i had the "ho shyt everything's still on sale" mentality so i did the unforgivable: i finally (after 2 damm years) HCd a Predator. and all the goodies (hadda schitzload of HC and a little MC), with the OhMyFuknGawd EOC-R. this the Schizz's mech every noob dreemz of.

i always had that Pred was a difficult, annoying backstabbing butt fugger and hated the presence in any match.

yup it's everything that and more. *evil grin*

 

i think i could main this byatch. spiffy little piece of Nasty, it is. when i turn fanatic, i'll ask for a spin in the tpg room with some one that can teach me what i haven't already discovered (the hard way).

 

Predator is God Mech.

Raider is the third mech I bought after ss (It was my main before ascension) and Assault (I want try out vulcan with a tow before max out my Fred)...I hated it, named it "the walking crap" in my garage, turns out it was my first 25.
I tried others mech a lot, maxed out almost all the mech before ascension, and forgot how to aim its weapon, when I finally get it back, my internet fuzzy bunnyed me... fast, powerful, kick ass up close, one of the most fun mech in the game. And G2raider, I personlly believe is the best/powerful mech in the game. Sadly Ive never got used to it..
I luv all the mechs, they are all fun to play.. But I just cant luv 'em all at once:( Im not that good.

Bruiser. In the beginning when I had my first few thousand HC making that urging sound, "... must buy ... mech ... begone CRT ...", I tried scout on a test drive. Reaction was H*LL NO! Too slow reflexes and pc. Went for bruiser and fell in love, never looked back.

 

Nowadays it's basically anything which doesn't rely on cqc burst too heavily. Maybe Bruiser > Grenadier > Berzerk > Tech > Assault beign my top 5 metches.

I was repeatedly violated by a vulcan grenadier. Afterwards I wanted to violate others in a vulcan grenadier. So now I do.

 

TBH, that's how I've found my favorite "anything" in any PVP game. I'll main something until a different setup comes along and furiously destroys me. I usually think to myself, "If that guy can get that nasty with X, then maybe I can too." So I deck myself out with a similar setup and try to do just that. Die, study, tweak, repeat.

Did we figure out what a Metch is?

 

it's yiddish for "mech of integrity or honor" or roughly meaning "good mech"

I knew the reaper was for me as soon as i started playing. I'd gotten the sharpshooter beforehand i thought it was too slow for me. So i brought the reaper and just did really well straight from the beginning, it felt natural too me so i stuck with it.

I made a poll topic on the old forums on what the community's least favorite, least used, weakest mechs were.

My mech closet is partly an aggregate of that research.

An effort to find the thompson and the mp40 in Hawken and make my place there by accruing mac-10 aces.

My favorite/main mech has changes throughout my time playing, due to balance changes, new mech additions, and what mechs I owned at the time.

 

The Bruiser was my first love, way back in the closed beta. Back when the Vulcan was a superheated death laser, Hellfires were completely useless, and EMPs lasted for seven seconds. I still like my bruiser, but usually only on certain maps.

 

The Scout was the first mech I bought after the open beta started. I had a lot of fun outmaneuvering all the other players still using the CR-T. But since its armor got swapped out for tissue paper, I have not been nearly as successful with it.

 

The HEAT Infiltrator was really nice when I first got it. Utilizing the splash damage on your weapons to kill someone without ever seeing them directly is so much fun. But after they made a bunch of changes to the HEAT Cannon, I never liked it as much. Though I still enjoy the AR Infiltrator from time to time. And the GL is still my favorite secondary weapon.

 

The Grenadier is my current favorite mech. After struggling through using the REV-GL and HEAT on it, I finally got the Vulcan and fell in love. Faster than the Brawler, tougher than the Vanguard, and more close range damage output than either, its my facesmasher. And it was even more fun when you could tune the radar to be super long range, and the dodge cooldown to be faster than any other C-class. Though then, its main weakness was turret mode. But now that it has its damage amp ability instead, that downside is no more.

 

Of course, I also use my Assaults fairly regularly. But I feel kinda bad when I do, since they are a bit overpowered right now.

My number one favorite mech is the glass tank called the Berserker. It may have weak armor, but its fast, has great damage (especially love the vulcan on it,) and the chases (both running away and hunting someone down lol,) can be very intense. If I want a good rush of adrenaline, this is the mech I like using xD 

 

As for a favorite medium mech, im prolly caught between the Bruiser and G2 Assault. Dual vulcans is fun, but so are the hellfire missiles :P

(On a side note, the bruiser was my 1st mech other than the crt recruit. I will always have memories of it lol.)

 

My favorite heavy mech has gotta be the vanguard. Moving wall; enough said lol. Although I have to say, I recently picked up the incinerator, and wow that thing is a blast -w-

Pred was my second  Mech.  First week I hated it but I kept with it learned  the tricks of the trade now I main it. For all its difficulty there is nothing like somone chasing you cloaking doubling back and watching them go right past you as you drop 8 mines on ther back.  While ther mech is exploading there screaming hacker ...pricless

 

 I even bought a second  one and am going back to breacher loadout as to keep all of you off guard.

 

The incinerater is my second favorit  because as support it functions so well + it decimates  a class .. go ahead punny a class get up in my grill ... please just do it .

 

My new faviorit   belive it or not is brawler with hawkens this is a awesome support mech and at medium to long range his turet ablity gains alot more utility.

 

Grenadier in some situations out preformes incinerater at suppression

 

The last  mech I enjoy is raider there is no other mech in the game that gives me a rush like the good old raider.

 

I own all the mechs and all the weapans excluding   4 weapons  that I will never use but the above mecks are my bread and butter in the order they are posted.

Bruiser. Though to be honest, I fell in love with the OLD Bruiser, before its shield ability and Hellfires were nerfed into the dirt. I also like its visual design more than most of the other mechs. I do hope it will eventually get buffed back to its former glory at some point.

 

hope so last mech I bought and in my opinion compleat fuzzy bunny

Brawler, at least last I played years ago. When was that again?

 

But I didn't really had to decide much. There weren't as many mechs back in closed alpha or beta or whatever it was when I started playing. I like shooting people up close in the face. Brawler was the only way.

 

Flak's also one of my favourite UT guns.

Let's start with 'why play Hawken and not any other FPS'?

So sure mechs are cool and all but what realy matters is the gameplay, so:

Shooting? well, any fps

Sniping? most FPS

Stealth? few FPS, but meh anyway

Hawkn is  movement: boosting, hovering and ofc dodgin freakin missiles!

 

Gonna piss some people off but 'real' Hawken play is: SCOUT

 

It's the mech that utilizes the unique Hawkn machines to their best. And if you are bad at it you get punished hard, but if you are good - you are god ;)

I like:
- Hawkins/FLAK Brawler
- AR Salt
- AR Zerker (no AC)
- Breacher Pred
- Hawkins/Slug Sharpy
- RPR Reaper
- HEAT/FLAK Scout

May be surprising, but I only have 85h on my Predator.

I have been playing HAWKEN since prior-pre-alpha* and I have to admit that I don't have a favorite mecha.

 

On picking up one will purely depend on what's going on in the battle field; that is a good number of factors..

 

Besides that, will also depend on what my mood of the day is... that matters as well.

 

Additionally, when I pick up a mech to save my team in the last quarter of a match of being defeated then, most of the times, that is my preferred mech... at least for a good while.. heheheh

 

* just kidding... or not..
