Starhawk

[dorokusai]

ive played beta from the start lbi dont listen!

get rid of classic flight .With advanced flight the right stick is pure novelty value

the missile scrub does nothing yet classic flight players dodge everything by mashing r stick.

i loved warhawk loved the early beta of starhawk but i wont b buying this game .Novice pilots r empowerd with infinate dodge real pilots have chaff n skill  but dodging rocket launchers is hard enough  never mind backward lockon backward flying pillocks ,put flight back 2 how it wos in the first place no classic flight or make advanced flight usefull . None of my online friends like starhawk ,and i met em on warhawk .I Like the idea but why empower the noobs! Advanced flight is useless against classic flight

unlucky.

make your own game if your not happy

games these days need to be easily playable for new players as its "ZOMG im so l33t" high rank gamers that kill off a lot online modes.

the only ppl i know from WH who really dont like it is out and out pilots, too scared to get out of their planes and fight.

I read on a forum the other day

"Hawks need to be the most powerful dominating weapon on the game because the game is named after it"

The logic is amazing to me because the hawk/mech doesn't capture the flag/zones.

Game balance means nothing apparently unless you can baserape ground troops armed with basic weapons like a rifle.

What gets me is that the hawk *IS* the most powerful weapon in the game. What else gets to fight in the air or pound the ground plus can zoom away if things get to much. Also taking into account only 3 of the 8 total (wheel) weapons have been activated !!!!

yeah its exactly what i think, like ive posted in the past, the hawk machinegun & swarm missiles should not be the "be all & end all" of the entire game.

To be fair that was the excuse for Warhawk... so many times on hear I read "If you dont like how powerful the Warhawk is deal with it... the games called warhawk ofcourse its going to be powerful!"

Still want pro flight back though currently got the skill where vehicles travel faster on and I like how it doesnt make a difference so much you could cross the map before you know youve double tapped R2 but it does help turning etc.
I think the "incoming missile" sound could be a bit louder or something but we know the sounds are getting changed and what we hear is really old so no worries about that
I walso wouldnt say the right stick is novelty for advanced flight... ive been using advanced cause its 90% Pro flight from warhawk (10% being that awful scrub system and the lack of "natural" scrub) however the tap X+left stick is kind of useful... If im being chased by a hawk and need health, i boost to the pickup then do a 180 degree turn back onto him

very true, but the hawks are going to have to be over-powered so people can get their e-bonners on.

Its a well known game marketing fact, no e-bonner, no sales.

I've also heard a new controller is in development for it so all 38 shockingly over-powered hawk weapons are easily accessed via the weapon wheel.

I think they have scrapped the idea of a special controller in favour of 10 weapon wheels and an array of 80 different weapons mostly designed to wipe out wingeing ground pounders, LOL

I would have kept the two flight modes from WH but simply removed hover and the backwards flying nonsense. There was no need to add this daft canned missile scrubbing.

I don't think they've got the air-to-air combat quite right yet but when I'm on foot I'm usually confident I can kill or scare off the Mechs. I'm sure the dynamics of the game will change considerably, though, once the rest of the weapons are introduced.
