Love the Game, As a huge Gundam fan since I first saw them as a child watching toonami in the afternoons. The feel of the MS and how each frame's weapon selection differs based on the lore pertaining to each frame is wonderful. Only gripe is the same as everyone else's, can hardly ever get into a game. Also try to avoid the mistake I made of closing the game after a match, but before the end score screen. I got a 1 day ban for completing the match but not waiting for the score screen.

This game has a feel kind of like the first one, but its a PVE-only game currently. After the beginning missions it gets hard to an unnecessary degree to unashamedly push people towards the micro-transactions, which belong in an EA game 0% of the time unless the dev's are trying to sink the project before it even gets off the ground. If they take away the sleezy micro's and make resource nodes more abundant during the "patrols" then this could be a good game once they add the needed features like Co-op and PVP (which the IP was loved for) modes. In any case its nice to have HAWKEN back even in this stunted and shameful state, just wish the dev's had more tact about this and tried to understand what we loved about the original. I recommend it to the PVE-grind enjoyers and those who loved the original as it seems they are trying to do something new with the IP but currently its going to be a not recommended for the time being as I believe micro-transactions should banned from early access games, let alone PVE games (save for cosmetics when there is a functioning Co-op).

Playing during the free weekend and i like the flying and the helos look nice but there are some bad balancing issues between the US and RU helos. And hit registry is is horrendous, you'll see the rounds explode on the enemies windshield and the hits wont register. This makes it super frustrating trying to fly the bus like RU helos that will always be outran or outmanuvered by the US. Hit reg improvements would help the balancing issues.
