Starhawk

[digoutyoursoul]

After playing Warhawk on and off since release I finally had enough , I am sorry to say this but from my experience the plane whores have ruined this game, well...zones, collection and ctf to be precise . More and more players who dont play as a team have emerged over the past few months, towing people, having to come within a inch of a ground troop in a plane to kill them, no intentions of taking bases so the team isn't pushed back, no intention of picking up collections, no intention of getting or defending the flag, i switch teams yet the results are similar. it got ridiculous really. I dont want tooffend anyone here - sometimes whilst playing I ask where have all the great players gone, for years Warhawk was my main multiplayer experience for not only being a great game but having a great community, Starhawk is looking very promising and I hope it does a better job of balancing weapons, vehicles and modes. Good luck to those who get a beta invite :-)

Everyone will get access to a beta, I've read an answer of the dev, and he says there'll be an open beta

Its nice that there will possibly be an "open beta" ....

If there is I hope its a short open beta trial rather than a drawn out affair...

Something we can play & give our views on & still make us want to buy the game on day 1 rather than as I said a drawn out affair where ppl get bored of it from playing so much....

Official servers have gone downhill no doubt. Just try and play Ranked servers, people usually play for the team there, however those are usually 12 vs 12 in medium maps and that's not the way warhawk is meant to be played IMO, but that's better than your usual baserape anyways.

The whole games a poor shade of what it used to be....

The sad thing is its Generals in some of the better known clans that are turning it into a game ppl dont want to play...

These will be the same players that will bring the same type of gaming style to Starhawk so we're damned from the start......

And I very much doubt the clan leaders will police there own clans as there probably the ppl doing it as well....

this was happening 2 years ago!!

the chaps and chapesses at lightbox seem to be on the ball regarding balance (no hover in hawks for one) so hopefully it cant be made to go the same way?

Lol, this was happening ages ago, one of the reasons why i quit while i was ahead (that's a lie, i wasn't going anywhere, i was probably falling behind, lol)....also one of the reasons why i quit playing Battlefield.

It's what happens, experience + effective tactics make it seem and feel like your on the end of a seriously bad and rage inducing game related rape (excuse the term of phrase).

I have kind of come to the conclusion that any Shooter with Vehicles will become very rapey.

(Mr Negativity Hat On) I also have no faith in Starhawk being any better from the get go, as these very people will just jump onto that and use similar ways of playing. Taking out Hover may reduce it a lot, but i bet they will find another way.........they always do (lol).

It'll be the old fav of i'll just stay in the enemy home base blasting everything with the tanks cannon......

There needs to be a lot more in place to stop the slaughter merchants from ruining Starhawk.....

I don't mind tanks invading your home base quite so much, at least they can't run away fast and they'll get destroyed eventually.  Mechs transforming to 'hawks will hopefully be a good chance to take them out before they zoom off.

The transition from mech to hawk is pretty slow. That's going to need some tactics.

...or plummeting from high altitude works Not sure if you take fall damage from it.
