CR-T Appreciation thread, because now that people who are brand new are getting loaded Assaults, I think this is as good a time as ever to appreciate the box.
All hail the TV.

All hail the technicolor marvel, that helped us all in our Hawken youth. We praise it not for it's beauty, for some say it has none. We appreciate it not for it's weaponry, for it frankly wasn't the best. However, it was there when we needed it. It was as good and loyal as any TV mech ever was for me as a recruit, and it will be sorely missed. RIP CR-T Recruit.

I don't care how sexy the Raider is or how OP the incinerator is or how sneaky the Infiltrator is or how much damage the Zerker can output.
The CRT is my baby, and always will be...

Don't worry the CRT will make a comeback. People will be like "Ah thats so edgy, i want that" Probs buy a CRT skin for that Assault they just got.

A long time ago in a galaxy far away right here on Illal, you could see entire deathmatches composed of nothing but CR-Ts. He was the apex predator of his day, his only true competition came from his peers. But now, the CR-T is a dying breed, replaced with the newer, shinier, and more advanced chassis. Soon, the mighty Fred shall be nothing more than legend.
But, as long as there are those who still remember that the power of Fred is no mere legend, he shall never truly die.

I personally don't think switching folks to the Assault was the right choice. I like the way the CR-T looks far more than the weird looking Assault. I mean, you want to talk about 1980's retro looks, the Fred chassis may look like an old computer monitor or TV, but what about those puffy shoulder-pads on the Assault? Total 80's.

To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

Recruit is and always will be the best mech in the game. AR and a TOW is all a pilot truly needs. Nuff said.

i don't really like that the assault was turned into the starting mech. the recruit's upper body chassis looks more recognizable and, going by the description, it's made from junk since the new player (or should i say recruit?) has yet to prove itself in battle and is thus not (yet) worth a "real" mech, so of course it's not gonna look as generically "serious" or "cool".
from a gameplay standpoint, is the stat difference really noticable enough to warrant replacement?
mind you, it's not some kind of deal breaker for me. i'm just voicing an opinion here.
I have a lot of ideas and would like some feedback on them:

To us older guys I think we are on the same page. The Recruit was easily recognizable, and mostly only newbies played it, but it was a mech that despite being the "starter" mech could easily stands its own against more advanced mechs in the hands of a capable pilot.
The Assault was just for those silly people who liked triangle heads better, should have stayed that way. ![]()

The Fred is a Fred who makes Freds while making Freds with other Freds. The Fred goes and does other Freds to make even more Freds. This causes Freds to Fred. Now he is Fred.
