[Leemco]

lol, brilliant.

What did the thing in the top left do?

[Fatal-Aim]

ok, this is gonna suck. It's starting to seem like this game is all about the air. It's bad enough troops have nowhere to hide like in warhawk when their B&B structures get torn to hell or that only a select amount of weapons can only hurt a hurt a mech/hawk or the fact that you can't even target these guys when they are on the ground, but to give them a shield too along with a flak gun is down right unfair. what's to stop a hawk from passing directly through a shield set up by troops and placing a shield around themselves to deal damge to whoever and what ever?

[Leemco]

You can get 3 mecks in the shield easy , did you see the amount of clusters and air mines I have ?  99 of each , and the shield never runs out , I can only use the stealth , meck shield , flack gun , clusters, swarms , homing missiles and air mines , the weapon in the top left corner dose not work but a got to test the rest , the first starhawk player to test most of the weapons I am very happy at this crazy bug , I can only stay in a server for 3 minutes then the game shuts down which I am bummed about because I cant play starhawk and I cant use the kinetic rifle on the ground

Hopefully that's what the top right weapon is (either the Tow or an ICBM. Whatever the most overpowered would be).

Can it actually have a Tow? The Warhawk used to go into hover when it was deployed. What would the Starhawk do. It would look a bit silly if it stops in mid air.

Unless it can only be used in mech mode.

Leemco, did you try it in mech mode?

P.S The video has been posted on the US forum so I can see an emergency update coming tonight.

Dylan mentioned something about a rift bomb. Perhaps this is what the TOW is. either way, I am sorely disappointed by this game. It seems to be all about the hawks once again while ground troops get the short end of the stick. I'm to the point now where I don't think imma purchase this game when it launches; they nerfed everything on the ground far worse than it ever was in warhawk while hawks become the main focus of their attention. Troops don't even have a solid place to hide in, and most of their weapons aren't even as effective enough if at all to the hawk/mech.

Nothing puts me off buying this game because at the end of the day, in private games we will have the ability to switch on/off vehicles (and hopefully weapons).  The variations in gameplay will be endless (hopefully).

(Maps) x (Map size) x (Game mode) x (Setup options) will be a lot of variations.
