Now, I've been playing for Hawken for a little over a year now, and I think it's high time I made a suggestion dammit!

 

One little thing I love about Hawken is the ability to name your mechs. It adds a level of creative customization to the game, and what I would love to see implemented would be to see the name of a player's mech after they kill you on the death screen.

 

The whole idea of naming your mechs is cool, but part of the fun is lost when no one else but you can see the name of your mech that you just killed them with. I think it would be incredibly entertaining to be killed, only to find out that you were killed by the "Flying Spaghetti Monster" or "Bad Mother-Fuzzy-Bunny"

 

However, the whole aspect of putting swears in the names of mechs could be an issue for those who have weak constitutions, so there could be an option to turn off the mech names in the options menu. Simple, easy and effective. It would be no worse than turning off the profanity filter for the chat.

 

It would just be a fun addition to the game!

This entire sentence is just a link.

 

However, yes. Especially during the kill cam, that would be nice. "ticklemyiguana piloting 'never gonna give you up never gonna let you down never gonna run around and..."

[Lioot]

Yes, being killed by Scootaloo is embarrassing... maybe a choice in the options to do so?

[Amidatelion]

Absolutely everyone should have the pleasure of enjoying the witticism with which I named the walking affront to physics that just wrecked their day.

 

Especially Merl.

[Liederkranz]

Totally agree. I got kinda dissappointed when I found out that my rekt enemies only saw the mech class on their deathcam.

[OneSevenOne]

+1. I don't see any other reason to name my mech if I wasn't able to share it.

[Panzermanathod]

I think it's a fine idea. I would love this... one thing, though...

 Weak constitutions? Are you saying that everyone who doesn't or rarely use swears and doesn't want to hear a torrent of swears have weak constitutions?

[Flifang]

I'm practically "BURSTING," with excitement for the day people can see the names of my raiders after they are defeated by them. Many will know the wrath of "Silk-Touch," and "Horse: The Haymaker!"

[Grollourdo]

Lol me too!!! XD

*Steve Erwin Accent* Quick, quick, over here everyone. This is a rare treat. Here we can see the elusive Internet Troll in it's natural environment. These mysterious creatures are rarely sighted in the real world, but are quite common if you know where to look. The best place to find Internet Trolls is usually on online forums.

 

Now let's watch as it uses one of it's deadliest hunting techniques, finding something to be offend about to try to lure it's prey into responding.

Btw how did you call your favourite mechs? Just funny names or actually something with a meaning?

My Infiltrator, Reaper and scoot are called Deimos, Sizzler and Crawler

Infiltrator: "Infiltraterher (feat. Meraple)"
Scout: "SANIC!!!!!1!1"
Brawler: "Fat Scout"
Vanguard: (cupcakes are) "Not for breakfast"
CRT: "Brave Sir Microwave"

I'm working on names for my other mechs, currently they're boring names like "Tom"
