Back in May of Last year I entered a rather large, healthy post on a suggestion in order to expand HAWKEN gameplay, particularly regarding a new class of mechs. I will link it here (You will find it in the second reply post):

 

http://steamcommunit...55529434999020/

 

The main point of this was to primarily get ideas going for the previous developers, and It has the same intentions with the new developers of the game.

 

Additionally, here's a concept sketch (Though it is crude) of one of the new mechs as an example from my very own DeviantArt account.

Feel free to input your take.

 

Just a few other things:

 

  • FIX THE PREDATORS CLOAKING! The predator is fantastic in newer player games but the ability is near-pointless against pros. While the Infiltrator is small enough for this to not be a problem, the Predator isn't. blurring the edges out should fix this.
  • Raider G2 feels like a waste of space to me personally with how it was initially made, a rework of it might be helpful
  • Obviously more mechs, which I'm sure the devs will get to.
  • Some graphical enhancements if possible, the game was initially released in 2012 or so in its alpha stages, and the graphics may be dated by now.

That's about all I can think of.

Even the Infiltrator's cloak is bugged. It is not only easy to spot (especially while moving for obvious reasons) but also because certain visuals are not displayed through the cloak. Additionally, the cloak changes its lighting depending on the ENEMY'S view, which means that dependign from which angle you look, you may see the cloak lighter or darker. Plus countless other things like HUD visibility and stuff.

 

Except the hidden radar signature, the cloak isn't that powerful such as Scout's fuel tank or Zerker's dmg buff just like Assault's heat cool down and and and ...

Concerning the graphical update, I don't actually think that's necessary unless there's some 14x14 textures hiding around in the maps. HAWKEN has an identity in how things look, and any graphical changes would take away from that, it's like if TF2 suddenly decided it wanted to be a telltale game or Borderlands 1.

 

Concerning the G2R, I heard people love the ever loving fuzzy bunny out of that thing though, I know I personally hate fighting it.


This is a signature, revel in its glory.

G2 Raider is severely underrated. It's ridiculously powerful.

For me the G2 raider seems like the strongest c class. Yeah you read that right.

Now i don't know about brawler but there's something about tow rockets that i don't like, And something about this odd mech just clicks with my play style. 

G2R FTW.

Sigh. You just admitted to personal bias. Saying the G2 is somehow better than the brawler is quite incorrect. While the G2's ability and weapons are more exciting, the brawler's versatility, dps, and health make it vastly superior. You personally may prefer G2, but please don't use that as justification for an incorrect statement.

Never said it was better. I said it was better for ME, and for me only. �Comprende?

(why are you always so offensive with your comments anyways ?)
