So, I hope I'm not making an already popular request or something. I heard some stuff about the game currently going restructuring or something, but I hope this suggestion can be considered anyway.

 

 

It's pretty simple. A friend just challenged my opinion. We both play Hawken.

The natural thing would be to start a Deathmatch and slug it out in mechs. Unfortunately, there is no way of preventing other people from joing, as far as we are aware.

Also, there's no point in a duel if your friends can't watch and comment.

 

So, would it be possible to introduce a deathmatch mode where two players fight each other, while other people can join and watch?

Maybe lock it to a party or something, so that the party can simply self-organize. The spectators could then get floating cameras or watch through the cockpits of the players or something.

This could also double as a showcase for mech tactics. Due to the nature of this game, any avenue of teaching would be appreciated.

 

Right now, we thought about making a party and then having a guy in a Sharpshooter or Predator (because both mechs have the ability to watch without interfering) livestream the match. Unfortunately, that would most likely be disrupted by a random guy joining.

So the most simple implementation would be to just allow people to lock deathmatch, so that only their party can join.

 

P.S.

I'm well aware that such a mode has a possibility of fragmenting the playerbase more (there already seem to be issues getting into any game mode aside from deathmatch), but, on the flip side, it would also be a mode that can be started quickly and then get people into the mood for more fights.

Yes please.

(I think this has been suggested a few times but not as much as others)

We need servers like the TF2 MGE (My Gaming Edge) servers where players can duel against each other at common areas, like cp_badlands spire etc.

For HAWKEN it would obviously be changed to appropriate dueling places such as the AA's on certain maps and other suitable dueling places.

Yeah, I totally agree with the notion of 1v1, I have my friends who would like to play, but who have low mmr's, so they can't usually play in servers where I play, and gaining experience is very hard for them, It would be also very awesome if we can play 1v1 so they can train dodging, firing, on different mechs against a relatively higher mmr player (more experienced at least), as well i have friends who have higher mmr than me which usually use 'zerkers or other type A's, and normally we which to train a bit (them dodging missles or shots) and me getting locks and shooting at freakin' airzerkers, 1v1 would be excellent for those purposes.
