-SUGGESTION-

1) Star Board - I mentioned before that a huge wish of mine would be to be able to watch and save video replays of the matches we fought previously. In warhawk I really wish I could have re-watched many many amazing moments in a battle again. But I just thought of another idea on top of that...

Why not let all users post say a cool 15 second segment of any battle they wish, something they thought was really cool and amazing, and then upload it on their starhawk profile for others to watch? For example, I click on someone's profile in the game, and they've uploaded 3 short videos showing their best moments, showing the kind of player they are. You could even have a top 20 all user board for the best starhawk moments

But some sort of replay option would be incredible because of all the games I've played, warhawk had so many moments I wish I could have seen again but can't. I hope I can in starhawk

2) who am I playing with? - I wish that starting a game it showed you all players in the team like warhawk did. It was very useful

3) team switching - please DO NOT allow it. It will kill the game. Because the devastion you could cause by switching teams could be a game killer for a disgruntled player.

4) Hiding players - the red/green reticule above a player is sometimes shown too easily. Hawks can fly and easily find everybody because everyone has a big neon sign above them saying "here I am". I think they should only be shown in the way warhawk handled it. Maybe only when the target reticule is on a player etc.

They have said that the full game will not have this kind of feature but they will look into it in their next game.

I rather have it because if the other team is losing players I could switch teams and if I'm playing with friends I need to be able to change sides.

Thanks for the info commanderofin. Shame about the replays, would have been good.

About team switching, I quite strongly feel that it shouldn't be included, at least not included in official server rooms. I can see your point about playing with friends, but frankly I can already see it happening that some players will get owned, then they will get angry, and then team switch and dismantle the entire home base.

People like us wouldn't abuse that feature but there are people who will. They will. And it will kill the game completely. Though I sympathise with wanting to play with friends, maybe what could be enforced instead is a time limit. For example people can switch teams 5 minutes at the start of the match but cannot switch after that and have to do their best for the rest of the match. I think that helps both issues out.

And I don't think having 1 full team face half a team will ever happen on the official servers because they are always packed and always quickly joined by people. Warhawk never ever had a heavy imbalance in team numbers because the official servers were so popular.

I also think teams should be heavily randomised after every match, just to make things fair, but that's just a personal thought.

Just as a wacky idea, I was also thinking of a "school rules" of choosing teams. I was just thinking at the start of each match, the 2 highest ranked players become leaders of each team and take it turns to choose a player from the match list to join their team. Like how kids at school choose who will be on their team in football. You could really learn the character of players then, who's better defensively, offensively etc. Just a fun idea. Wouldn't happen but a fun idea.

I also think in a player profile there should be a feature to label what your best at. You could label yourself 'defender' or 'offence' or 'builder' or 'warrior', 'striker', 'pilot', 'driver' etc. Just another idea to help people know you better. Would work well in the team choosing idea I had above lol. And would increase the strategy, and knit a closer community as people get to know players better. But I think a good detailed personal profile in starhawk would be cool

I'm all for not having team switching (except on TKA nights )

I'm just as happy playing against my friends as with them and never team switched in Warhawk.

As has been said, being able to choose which team you're on = devistation.

I have a couple suggestions for lobbies:

1.) When a host leaves after a game has ended I get kicked back to the start up screen. I'd rather just be kicked back to the lobby. 

2.) I'd love to be able to see how much time is left in a match before I join it.

Thanks.

P.S. Why is my avatar 50 Cent? haha

issue - mini map

please move the mini map off centre and allow us to adjust the transperency of it. at the mo it's right in the centre which means playing with your map open is very difficult

[BoomTartanArmy]

Could the mini map return to either the top left or top right of our HUD?

Where it is atm means we simply forget about it because of the cluster down there already.

Top left actually since rift energy is at the right

A few have already been mentioned, and it's difficult to judge whether some things have just been removed because of the beta, but;

Playing your own music in game from the XMB was something which added the fun factor for me in Warhawk, I highly recommend bringing it back, it's nice to have the option!

The ability to jump up walls or platforms like in WH, ladders are the only things which you can jump onto at the moment, it's strange going from playing UC3 where you can grab onto most walls etc to not being able to.

Is sixaxis still going to be supported for flying/steering of Hawks/jeeps? I always used that option in Warhawk, I think it should be set as default and then obviously then have the option thereafter to change. I also did used to enjoy being able to flick the right analog stick to flip/roll your hawk rather than having to press X.

Potentially add a slightly longer time for jetpack and a quicker way to get to the ground, I've noticed there isn't any way at all of dodging incoming missiles also.

You can do barrel rolls if you set your flight mode to Advanced I think.

There is a button which make the jetpack fall quicker. I can't remember which one bit it's either triangle, square, X or O.
