It's not a bad gameplay video, but that is in no way a trailer.  It tells us nothing about the story of HAWKEN, only showing us how the game works a little.  

 

Some thoughts on the editing:

  • You could entirely remove the middle bit with the garage unless you want to add a voice over explaining your choices there.  
  • The music change between the garage and the gameplay is jarring and pointless.  Keep the slower paced stuff from the beginning since it so neatly counterpoints the frantic combat.  
  • The video freeze is a little weird.  See if you can fix that in a second editing sweep
  • Good job showing different chassis and how they play differently as well as not showing the few seconds in the garage trying to pick your next one
  • Make sure you credit the HAWKEN team for the bit at the beginning.  That's not your work and you shouldn't claim it as such.

It's a pretty decent show for a first attempt.  Give it another round of editing and you could have something even better.  Don't get discouraged.

All comments here intended as constructive criticism aimed at helping you improve.  Keep up the good work.

I LOOOOOVE THE FIRST PART

...

The rest is more gameplay bids like he said.

...

XD Ima try to make one too XD

I have a vision for one: there are a lot of hawken trailers right? There are the ones for specific mechs and the one for hawken itself. I think we could use all of that with slow music XD

Also a trailer doesn't have to tell you the history of a game....

I guess not, but I'm so used to movie trailers giving a short plot summary that I kind of expect that in a trailer of any kind.  Loving the first part is great, but it does kind of belong to the game.  It's the release trailer.
