No offense, but with 5 maps it's easy to burnout on this game (happened to a few of my friends).

The best games have more maps.

^This^ Only reason I keep playing is that I know more content is coming, if not I woulda been burnt out a long time ago.

Think mech games are slow and boring? Well, yes, most of them are… but not Hawken. Here they move at a frightening pace and come bristling with a decent variety of weapons and gadgets to help you smash your human opponents into scrap. It’s essentially a first-person shooter with a focus on customising your mech to suit whatever play-style you choose to adopt. The developers recently added taunts too, so you can belittle enemies at the press of a key instead of awkwardly trying to tea-bag them from inside a 100ft killing machine.

This is why MWO didn't make the list, the site is only interested in twitch shooters. Frankly I would have been a little sad if MWO made a keyboard spaz list, it would tell me the game is headed in the wrong direction.

LOL

They actually think a mech game needs tea-bagging?

All of a sudden I am happy that we *didn't* make the list.

Well, Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances made the list--which is an MMORTS and not a shooter--but what I love about their description of it is how they ignored all of its titanic and glaring flaws.

Simply being regarded as a good free to play game is not a bad thing, if anything it helps the poor reputation this game has so far ( and yes i can say poor reputation because i know MANY people who were turned off by this game as months passed..)

that being said, I am aware that just because someone claims a game is good does not mean that it is (in regards to the list games radar made)

I like MWO and i'm just hoping with the next few patches that it really starts to shine..

I'd like to point out that one of the most widely successful F2P games out there, League of Legends, DOES only have 4 maps and only 1 is ever really played much. The whole notion of more maps = more fun doesn't really cut it if you just have a handful of really solid map choices. As for burning out, just pace yourself, play other games, it keeps everything interesting IMO.

I admit to not reading the entire list, but the based on the review of Hawken, it is obvious that they expect mech games to be shooters or anime. Maybe if there list had been categorized I would have found it more useful.

I played a few of those games and I have played many other F2P that are not on the list, games that I felt were much bettter than those presented. I guess it is kind of pointless to complain about someone else's opinion, I'm sure anyone who sees that list can draw their own conclusions about the author's predilections.

Well this game needs more than 5. Or do you really feel that they represent all the environments mechs fight it?

Or is it just that you think we have "a handful of really solid map choices", because I do not. The mechanics of the game (and the available mechs) are shaping up nicely, the maps available are not.

Personally I think MWO is the best shooting game I have played in a long time, possibly ever. It's very gratifying, and the base gameplay is awesome. It needs more content, and some balance tuning possibly, but it's progressing nicely. Who cares if that website wants to make teabags with mechs? This is much better than Hawken, which is basically just another twitch shooter in disguise.
