Starhawk

So what does everyone think? Haven't got the game personally but wondering if I should?

I don't know if I like it as much as warhawk but it's still pretty fun. The main problem at the mo is the lack of quality players but I have played in some servers with decent players and it can be really exciting

Hey Azza , I'm agree with mikey  , I think its an awsum game but threes a few things that pis me off'

The main thing is finding a decent server is  hard , the 32 ppl servers are the best but not many to choose from, & slow loading makes it worse,

There is a lot to learn , maps, weapons pick up points , vehicles & hawks , so i make plenty of newb mistakes but I keep turning it on most nights, the more I play the more I like it and with all the patchs & updates it keeps getting better. 

so I hope I will be shootin at u soon

I should mention that if you liked warhawk az you will definately like Starhawk. It's definately nowhere near as bad as some people have made it out to be

Like all multi-player focused games, fun depends very heavily on who you play with. If you have friends playing or you have time to grind out a good party your team can DOMINATE and you will enjoy it. I have some serious gripes with the game however.

Games typically are one sided affairs, I've only had a few games in any mode go down to the wire and while they are fine for racking up a high Kill Death Ratio it soon gets booring. Another thing to consider is the promise of fair and balanced multi-player. Teams that are full of Hawks just run away with the game. Currently the Hawk is the only answer to alot of enemy stratergies and with the power ups are a major head ache to anyone on the ground. There is currently no good mobile anti air weapons avaliable, homing missiles are easilly scrubed. And with the Hawks access to shields, cloaking device, field mechanic skills, afterburner, one button evasive manuvers and chaf I've found too many bullet proof  hawk pilots. It's important to note that no other unit in the game has "power ups". So how can it be balanced?

So saying that when you do have "the game" it's a ton of fun. Best advice rent it first or better yet get a LAN party going and play with friends.

I definately wouldn't go so far to say it is perfect but azza is a very good warhawk pilot so i'm sure he'll do well with the hawks in starhawk. i don't know if I would play Sh if I couldn't fly. it's what makes it for me

Azza everything these guys^^^^ said was spot on.

QD have got 10 members with Starhawk with 5 of us bordering on "I can't play anything else"!

It is early days yet but yes there is some frustrating stuff in the game.
I've been caught in base ravages & the next server gone 30 -1!?
I don't think I like the idea that a dominant team can place a spawn point inside a base ravage! Come on give us a break Very dumb of a Dev that's trying to stop base ravages (sorry LBI I know you guys ARE working hard at it).

Still, like Warhawk there is a lot of tactics to learn and strategies to master along with weapons, maps & vehicles.
We all loved Warhawk and I think it's worth looking at how it was launched & the patches that came after that. So go here http://blog.us.playstation.com/author/djobe/page/4/ and have a browse & a read through Dylans posts about warhawk and remember it's early days for Starhawk yet.

its good azza, not as good as Warhawk, but still very fun/addictive. The patchs are making it better, bu tthey really need to fix team balance and official servers would help ALOT. I would say get it.
