here's a system that i came up with in about a minuet 

When a mech is a low HP like below 20% you can bail out
when you bail you become a foot solider this makes you USELESS
against mech's and after 60 seconds you can drop back into your mech
foot solider VS foot solider 

a food solider has boosters on their legs making controls the same

your weapons would depend on your mech 

Sharp shooter = a sniper rifle (damage to mechs about 5 per shot)
CRT = an assault rifle (damage to mechs about 7 DPS)
Scout = a heat rifle (damage to mechs 8 per shot)

you get the idea...

Please if help me refine this, If RLD are adding playing as a foot solider it needs to work.

Having human death in the game would bump it up to an M rating. F2P games need to be as accessible as possible, and an M rating would hurt it more than it would benefit.

 

 

 

That being said, I would love to explore the maps as a squishy and just see how out of scale the mechs are compared to the environment.

yeah it would however i wouldn't put it passed RLD, It seems like something they would do, And i don't know if that's a bad thing.

A map explore and garage explore with foot soldier would be fun. Otherwise I don't think it's a good idea as asymetric shooters seems to be not successful (see Evolve).

People got turned on to mixed mech combat after Titanfall, but Titans were balanced around it. An infantryman in the typical hawken battle would have a rough time.

 

Let me put it this way, the fastest titan, a Stryder, has a top speed of 8.3 m/s which it accelerates to in about a second. A Scout has a top speed of 39.8 m/s which it hits fast enough that the acceleration should by all rights kill the pilot.

 

This means that while a scout will compete with top end modern supercars in a quarter-mile drag race, the Strider competes at roughly a high school level in the 100m dash. A Brawler at a regular walk speed is almost twice as fast as Stryder at a dead sprint.

 

Pilots that eject from Axes would get splattered quickly and unceremoniously.

I don't think that lil post by Rld means much. Just sounds like capnjosh saying "I'm open to it" as usual.

[JackVandal]

Pilots running around would be cool, but man, if you thought scouts and techs had low hp,

are they? i cant tell anymore...

I really don't want this.

[DallasCreeper]

It's an interesting idea, but it fits with the slower mechs of Titanfall rather than Hawken, where a Scout boosts at almost 90 mph.

It'd be hilarious up until "mech killer" weapons get added and those tiny pilots running around could take out mechs... 

[DemitronPrime]

yeah... imma say NO...

 

at the most i would like to see something along the lines of the clan halls i mentioned in my thread about clan revision...

 

an AREA that you can walk about and socialize with other pilots... maybe for example, as stated...

 

Clan halls

 

Marketplace (we all want one, bit hard to sell a mech your piloting thought so makes sense you could walk around the garage in pilot mode and look at what pilots are selling )

 

but ON the battle field...

with the enforced M rating and the overall complexity of it, i dont think it would be worth it, and can you image the trollish squash salt that would emerge?

 

not to mention the having to animate the entrance and exit of mechs etc etc

It would add a doubled amount of effort and complexity to development.  It would require an entire new set of physics programming, models, controls, weapons... etc., etc., etc.   And the end result, in my opinion, would create an identity crisis for Hawken.

 

Sometimes a game just needs to know exactly what it is about and stick to that.

Hawken is just a titanfall clone that came first anyway. :p
