Hawken playerbase on steam could be affected by MWO lauch? Well of course, even being different games the genre is the same, not only that but the immersiveness of being in a giant robot is very similar. With the recent balance changes in MWO the game is very competitive, imo in a player perspective it's way more balanced than Hawken (that is a balanced game), and this can be by the big playerbase and the MM of MWO being very seletive by weight class etc... so when i say balanced i mean the experience of "fair play" while in a match, even so servers are realy bad on MWO, constant disconects and etc... the community in Hawken is also better, it's like Smite, when the community was small it was very friendly, and when people started to take the game way, way too seriously (more than their own lifes) the community became very toxic. My point is, in a comparison of both games, what makes people play MWO over Hawken? MWO has better graphics, it has more costumization and content in general, bigger maps, different roles, yada, yada, yada, but Hawken is WAY more simplistic and faster while also having a good team strategy gameplay, with better community (not so much trolls). For me Hawken has more potention on hiting the public for it's simplistic and fast gameplay, it just needs more marketing, while MWO is very restrict to players that can adapt to the game, it's 8, or 80, while allowing a more relaxed/casual play by it's "arcade" style points in gameplay and his slow pace. Why i play MWO now instead of Hawken, and for me it happens to be the final nail in Hawken's coffin in my life as a game that i kept coming back(appears, but who know what developers are planing?) because piloting that freaking Executer-D laser boat it's awesome, it's like being in the top of the world, (even if i suck on it and don't do nearly 200 damage and 2 assists LOL)
Also sorry for my english. My question as OP point to the community is: What makes a new player with no/not much/much experience in mech games, but that never played mwo or hawken, play MWO over Hawken in your opinion (if personal taste, for what?)?
