Public Starhawk BETA

[Leemco]

Hi, I have been playing starhawk since 22nd of November , I waited this long to give fair criticism of the game because to many players are only playing for either a few hours or days then posting , I will start with the melee attack which takes no skill to use press R3 and it dose it for you which is rubbish it looks like not much thought went into this attack and only having one melee is a joke , most games have a choice off melee when attacking from the front or back . The weapons in starhawk are good but have big distance issues like the shotgun good at close range but at mid range or long range has next to no effect on the target you shoot at , the rocket launcher is very poor when in lock mode ,if a meck is flying close to you you have no chance on locking onto it because the mecks are to fast for the snail pace lock mode on the rocket launcher , sniper rifle I love but has a limit to what long range shots you can do plus the sniper rifle has no effect on the mecks , it takes a lot off skill to no-scope a meck when its flying. The mines I like but seem very underpowered  against razorback and mecks you need 2 to destroy them, the razorback is great being able to fire you're weapon in the passages seat is great but when you use the razorback just to run over players you don't even have to hit them just driving beside them dose it ,WHY?  The mecks are a joke they are weak as a baby so epic dog fighting is no more plus with the beam cannons being so over powdered its pointless getting into a meck , you can't even lock onto the beam cannons with a meck which is pathetic , to look at the meck transformed into a hawk you think I bet that handles well then you jump into it and fly and feel totally let down , the advanced flight is pro flight which means every pro flight warhawk player has a huge advantage in the game starhawk that's how base rape was happening , I see classic arcade flight is coming but after hearing the term "spin to win" don't expect the normal flight from warhawk more like a flying oil tanker version , the flying in starhawk is a huge let down it seams that the starhawk creators only listen to whining and that's why the flying in starhawk is soooooooooooo rubbish the evade when flying is a joke never works only the chaff dose adding pre programmed moves makes the flying very unskilled also not being able to scrub those missiles with a skilful twist of the hawk , A GREAT IDEA WOULD BE ADDING THE PRO AND NORMAL FLIGHT FROM WARHAWK BOTH MODES HAD THERE UPS AND DOWNS BUT LEVELLED OUT IN SKILL PLUS HAD EPIC DOG FIGHTING which dose not happen in starhaWK BECAUSE FLYING IN A MECK IS BORING UNLESS YOU ARE A WARHAWK PRO FLIGHT USER  , I hear the starhawk team go on about how they have a great skill score system I am very puzzled because it takes no skill to kill in starhawk and they have made the game more like a get points for unskilled playing , the build and battle plus rift collecting is a great way to limit the killing in the game , STARHAWK IS A WAR GAME W.T.F IS GOING ON WITH THIS GAME , I suggest that the starhawk creators stop listening to whining players who are being killed and concentrate on making starhawk better that warhawk ,

Starhawk is great but i seriously doubt it has any chance of being anywhere near as good as Warhawk.

Too much has changed-

regen health;(no medpacks)

lack of weapons and vehicles freely available on a map;

the knife;

Flight mode;

even the map sizes are different (the small maps are huge!)

I'm all for innovation (new weapons, vehicles, maps, improved animations, even new features) but this appears to be applying the FFXIII method of innovation where instead they go and make something completely different. Not that Starhawk will be a bad game but i think we all just have to accept that this will not be anywhere near Warhawks league.

True , I still think starhawk can be better than warhawk in every way , the flying is the only  thing that needs to be sorted out  in starhawk , with all the warhawk normal flight pilots and pro flight pilots whining about each others mode of flight has truly effected the flying in starhawk , they should off gave both warhawk modes of flight in the starhawk game not just one mode of flight ,advanced flight is just a slower version of warhawk pro flight which handed all warhawk pro flight pilots a huge advantage in starhawk . i love all the weapons but have a huge dislike of the melee attack a very unskilled push R3 and it dose it for you attack .

just to point out why the warhawk mode of flights were not included

The warhawk normal flight had a so called backwards lock more like sideways lock and could spin and pro has the flat turn both are bugs in the game which even both modes out ,plus pro flight you could attack from any angle you want with the target system being solid were the normal flight target system could lose lock very easily , they are the flight modes that all warhawk fans love it made dog fights EPIC

I think both flights should have been used in SH minus the backwards lock and Noob spin... (I was a normal flyer and hated the noobs spin to win crap)

I honestly dont think starhawk will take off. Its so boring to play and it  requires no skill. Its great to think up a great concept for a game which is like nothing else around. But if it plays out to be sh*t when made into a game then i'm afraid you've just wasted your time and dashed our hopes of a game surpassing the only game we've put more than 1000 hours into

I really hope it turns out to a be great game better than warhawk, but i wont be buying it if it stays like this, even with all the updates to come.

Totally agree with whats being said here. They need to bring WHs TRUE pro flight and NORMAL flight back, minus the spin lock. Stop catering for the noobs, Its loosing the games depth. Im hoping they will fix the balancing issues ie, the mech is waaay under powered, beam turret is waaay OP, and the knife is unacceptable. If you havnt already, i really suggest listening to starhawk radio when they interviewed Dylan Jobe, talks heavily about the flight modes and the need to satisfy us (the hardcore players) but if some SERIOUS changes arnt implemented soon, my faith might dwindle.

taking out spinners was easy thats why we had the Lg and the tow

Agree, ZAP ZAP BOOM...

I just hope that they do implement the right changes before release date, I know there working on the Knife so hopefully that will sort that issue out, The Beam turret has been nerfed a bit however is still quite beastly they may still be nurfing this, I just wish they left the RPG how it was in the last update, it was fine. The Mechs need to have a bit more health they are to weak..

The thing is it seems they are nerfing alot of things that dont need to be nurfed (exluding the Beam turret and Knife) just because a few ppl keep QQing about how OP it is and how they have been killed a few times by it and then screaming nerf nerf nerf, I mean the game is about skill if you cant deal with it go play SIMCITY..

Saying this I look forward to playing the full game once everything has been opened

ye I noticed that about the rpg , even one to their feet dose nothing again , I just wish they had sorted the lock mode on the rpg as well it can't keep up with the mecks flying at close range plus it takes to long for it to lock as well
