The Title says it all.

Only one question to know which concepts have led you to your (s) metch (s) favorite.

I'm never sure that I have a favorite.  I switch mechs a lot.  When I get a little bored, when I die, I respawn as whatever mech just killed me.

 

I'd say that, when I'm frustrated and want to bring my A-game so that I at least survive at the objective for enough time to make a difference, I reach for what I call my "Zippy Rocketeer."  I have it set up with A/C and converter, with plenty of orbs and a shield.  I've gotten a lot of speed-hackusations while running it because I've become pretty slippery in close quarters combat with it... and I've been practicing with dumb-firing Hellfires (because they're not useful as lock-ons).


To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

I think everyone chooses their favorite mech based on wich one fits better their playstyle, when I was a noob I picked the sharpshooter because I could kill without risking myself to get killed that much, however I have a terrible aim and sniping got boring after a while, so I took the Brawler since it has lotsa health and it is easy to play, so 'till this day I've mained Brawler.

A long while ago, maybe back in closed beta days, there was a player that I secretly designated as my arch nemesis. This player was quite good, and seeing as Hawken was the first FPS I played with any kind of dedication, I wasn't all that great at playing the game. Said player would repeatedly pwn me using one particular mech. In order to see if I could eventually best this player, I purchased the same mech and got to work. As a direct result of that rivalry, my favorite and most-played mech is now the Infiltrator.

For a frantic deathwish lonewolf YOLOing Flank Gawd, you gotta have the Flying Fatboy, Vanguard.

For those times when you want to ambush and pwn A-class one-pump-chumps, nothing beats the G2 Raider.

Tech, or Infil is fun for running circles around C-class while toasting their feets.

But most of all, misty luvs for Fred. Best of all. Shoot forever, no regrets.

Gritty, glass cannon, crushinator, hard to master. The thing I love most about the Raider is when the fools think they have it in the bag- right up until my MIRV goes off.

Gren is tough because projectiles. I love it, the challenge of being able to hit RevGL shots consistently keeps me coming back over and over again.

I don't put nearly as much value into a mech's stats or performance, as I do with how it feels to me.

C-Class mechs are the only ones that actually feel like mechs to me, and I like explosive weapons that feel like they pack a punch.

Assault

 

I always thought the Assault looked cool so I made it my main. During that time, I didn't know it had the same exact stats as the CRT but that didn't stop me from always playing it.

My personal favorite is the Reaper. I just really like the Spree chassis, mostly. Other than that, I enjoy having an effective long-ranged option, especially against the giant C-class mechs. Also, it's a nippy little thing in duels and is very fun to weave in and out of combat with. 

 

I'm fuzzy bunny at it, honestly, but it's still a blast to play.

First mech I played was Sharpshooter, because seeing it in that initial trailer way back when made me think I would like it - turns out I was wrong. Experimenting with other options lead me to the Raider, which I enjoyed a hell of a lot, which I played throughout alpha. When beta 1 rolled around, Raider was gone, but the one mech that WAS around that had Flak/TOW was Brawler, so I made the swap. After that, I basically never stopped playing it from that point on.

I bought a zerker at the suggestion of the person who introduced me to the game. Soon i noticed it could have a vulcan on it and decided "that sounds amazing, i bet if i put a vulcan on this it'll be badass"


it was indeed :3

I was never much of a sniper before, but the stylish look of the L2 Spree chassis combined with the description "versatile mobile assassin" convinced me to choose the Reaper.

Never had an affinity for one particular mech; I tend to play B-class over A and C class, though. In the end, Sharpshooter became my primary mech. To my surprise at first, the playstyle seemed to fit mine: extreme focus that supports predictability skills and situational awareness. It also requires exceptional aim, since a few missed shots can be the difference between life and death, for you, or your teammate.

That title confused me if it was a typo for "match", but then I read the comments and I was like "ahhhhhh". 

 

My favourite mech is Predator. Reason? I was told not to get it as my first mech, and I got it. Despite getting wrecked after every match, I spent an entire day playing Hawken and nothing else. My eyes killed, I had a K/D of around 0.25 but I enjoyed the hell out of it.

 

Now it's just one of my best mechs that I can wreck all the scrubby Scouts, Assualts, Incinerators, Infiltrators, Assaults...and everything else. Breacher is the best.

Raider was the last non-G2 mech for me to unlock and didn't like it at first. I didn't actually start to play it until the Steam patch hit, when Raider was at its weakest. That Blitz tho, gotta go fast! It made me stick with it.

Predator baby. Despite being grueling to play at times, there's just nothing like making an A class mech(And the occasional Sharp Shooter) go up in smoke in one shot.

Incinerator I chose because it was an awesome sounding support mech when I read about it. It then became my main.

 

Rocketeer as it lets me annoy people from a distance and get a few long distances kills in.

I'm a Tech... because I'm a techy kind of guy  :tongue: But it does seem to fit my play style best, I was never really the 'take point' type, always chose supporting roles.

That said, I was quite like the Rocketeer and Reaper...

Bruiser. Though to be honest, I fell in love with the OLD Bruiser, before its shield ability and Hellfires were nerfed into the dirt. I also like its visual design more than most of the other mechs. I do hope it will eventually get buffed back to its former glory at some point.
