Starhawk

[koolkid201]

Just saw this on another forum, thought I'd share it

Linky (Arabic gaming website)

-The Game will feature a story mode.
-The game will support Co-op.
-Initially the game will support 32 players on the network
-Multi-player will feature 25 maps.
-The game will feature a military vehicles such as tanks, motorcycles, air-crafts and other vehicles.
-You can build bunkers for your self but are subject to destruction by enemies.
-Improvements for the combat system and camera angles.
-The Graphics is better than the previous Warhawk.

Could be a hoax, could be true? Meh, at least it's news

I have to agree with this, especially considering the list of features are very vague/open or because they're quite obvious. The biggest example of this would be

"The Graphics is better than the previous Warhawk."

as that really is something that people should take for granted and I assume the vast majority of people would suspect this.

"The game will feature a military vehicles such as tanks, motorcycles, air-crafts and other vehicles"

also seems suspect since, with the exception of motorcycles, Warhawk already contains those vehicles meaning it would be expected to have them (although maybe it is stated because people may not expect those vehicles in a game that will likely have space combat [if Starhawk will be the official name which because I recall it being trademarked I assume it is] but even then it seems strange that they would try to cover themselves with "other vehicles" after listing vehicles already in Warhawk [with motorcycles being the exception again]).

However, I do feel that a story mode will most likely be included with the game as was intended with Warhawk (I can't remember why it was dropped though? Was it due to budget restraints or because they couldn't get it to work or what?) and, if that is the case, co-op would be likely. 32 players I also feel is likely (mainly because Warhawk had 32 players) but I would much prefer if they could get 40 players a server in the biggest maps (if it didn't feel overcrowded of course) as I feel forty players would of been much more enjoyable on the full size Omega Dawn map (as I can remember sometimes going a few minutes without seeing an enemy on that map) and, if any maps that size are to be included with Starhawk I feel that 40 players would be suitable for it.

I don't really understand what is meant by

"You can build bunkers for your self but are subject to destruction by enemies."
as that would depend on the size of the bunker, what the bunker can do, if other players can get in the bunker with you, how can you create the bunker and the limit of bunkers you can make among other things but I still don't think that is very likely. Something that I think could be benefcial to Starhawk is if there is a placeable turret weapon (which would be like the pre-placed machine gun turrets already on the map except that you can move them once) as, this way, the turrets will have more use than they currently do.

So for those who found this too long and didn't read it (but it's not really that long anyway but meh), I think the list was made up but

"The Graphics is better than the previous Warhawk. (Dev, PS3, Starhawk, Warhawk 2)" is obvious

"The Game will feature a story mode", "The game will support Co-op" and "Initially the game will support 32 players on the network" is very likely

while "You can build bunkers for your self but are subject to destruction by enemies." is just completely made up and the rest are simply taken from Warhawk or made up.

Maybe, but Warhawk 2 is definatly coming in some shape or form. E3 this year will sure be interesting.......

[Liam511]

Also can a game be made with an "initial" online amount of 32? suggesting this person thought theyd say it had 32 but would eventually be able to host 40 say? Im not sure if thats possible

Two things make me skeptical about this.

1. Building bunkers (think Snake covered most of the points about this) - Think I find is *IF* they are destructable I suspect you will get "beach bullies" that will knock your sand castle down as soon as you are finished.

2. 25 maps - Are they really going to be 25 maps from the off? There was 5 in the last game with a further 3 via DLC. I could believe it if there was say 10 maps plus 3x 5 map packs but would they really let people invited to view the game see ALL the maps (or even tell them about all of them). The other option is that there are 25 map variations (like WH had) but that would mean LESS maps variations that WH had so this is even a less likely option)

I think the most important thing that makes this fake (IMO) is why would they let random invited people view this game and let them know this much detail without the game even being officially confirmed. Dylan Jobe hasn't even come out and said "yep, the games called Starhawk/Warhawk 2", No screenshots or anything.
