Hey boys, (and girl(s)). Talizzle back with another OG suggestion yo

 

Remove walls from HAWKEN

 

Alright, so in the game right now we have maps. Here's why we should remove them, in concise form because nobody wants to read a wall of text (my last suggestion to remove mechs didn't get a lot of support and I think it was cause it was too long)

 

  • Walls block your shots
  • Enemy can use walls for cover
  • You can ram into them while dodging
  • You might TOW yourself on the walls
  • Makes it difficult to kill enemy turrets
  • Walls make it harder to support your allies
  • Walls can be used strategically to deploy items
  • When trying to back up, a wall may get in your way
  • Makes zerg rushing hard against protoss and terran
  • Some walls can be stood on, giving a height advantage
  • Walls make it easier for enemies to hide when escaping
  • Walls increase the time it takes to get to and from your base in Siege and Missile Assault
  • They ruin my good vibes

 

Thank you for reading my suggestion and don't forget to support. http://strawpoll.me/7005947

 

adhesive if u use this suggestion u have to pay me royalties

When in doubt, attack your own team. You will still get points for it!

How about removing ceilings and floors as well? They literally do the same thing as walls. Just in a more horizontal fashion.

Without walls, Hellfires become the new meta.

 

Besides, this topic is the worst Idea in Hawken history.  Adhesive already tried this back in early Alpha, when they had the destructable walls and floors.  Once a few minutes had passed, the maps became really boring.

 

Plus, without walls and their textures to render and occlusion to calculate, the game would run really smooth with high frame rates... and, well... that just wouldn't be Hawken, would it?

But without walls, wouldn't every map just be a variation of Bunker?

If only they had dynamically growing gigastructures that would over time replace all the destroyed walls/structures.

My bad.  I was just having fun with the topic... however, I do recall some early posts from the Adhesive team, back on their old forums and Twitter, where they said that it became quickly apparent that the matches became boring after a few minutes, once such a vast majority of the walls and floors were gone.

 

This is the Nvidea video:

 

 

It was more than just a tech demo though.  It was playable.  Here's a video of people actually playing it at PAX 2013:

I still say having gigastructures sprouting up from all that destruction would've been cool.

How about just adding a little bouncing effect instead?

If only we could have no walls, floors, or ceilings and everyone uses one mech with hootfire missles. Mechs floating in endless space shooting heat seeking owls. 

 

Best. Game. Ever. 

 

But serious, lets add a DM-Morpheus style map to Hawken. Low gravity and open space!

I'd rather the walls stay, but reflect bullets back at the people who shot them. That way it promotes better aiming and sky crimes.

Well that's a dumb idea, unless... the walls are invisible.
