How do you like the Starhawk beta so far?

It's pretty fun so far but with a slight learning curve. Some of the controls are a bit odd but I'm sure will be fixed before final launch. I haven't dived deep into it yet but at 1st play through, it definitely has good potential. I never played Warhak so I can't compare but I am definitely looking to the SP campaign.

I love it. This is the best online experience I've ever had.

Love it. I wasn't expecting much out of it at all, but it's fantastic.

I played 2 rounds, was confused and overwhelmed. Quit after that and went back to playing Battlefield 3.This game seems almost too complicated although I'm sure the regular version when released will have some sort of guide. I played Warhawk which was great; this seems much more complex. Not really a fan of the graphics either, seems very basic compared to other online shooters. I'll wait for reviews on the final product to make a descision on this one.

The map is too big for only 16 players. There is no action going on and I do 100 laps around the map without encountering a enemy. The online Warhawk demo was better as it had about 40 people and custom soundtrack.PSP107

Yeah, that's how I feel too. I mean I like the game, especially the Build-and-Battle system, but it seems like there's not much going on. The "buildings cap" is also annoying. Last time, I had just picked up the enemy flag and I planned to build a garage as soon as I could to ride to my base, only to find out that there were already 2 (or is it 3?). Conclusion: I had to run all the way. But I succeeded so it's all good. :P

Way more fun than I expected to be now that I'm starting to get the hang of it and actually play strategically. One thing I don't like is the super sensitive flight controls for the Hawk. Soon as I take off, it feels like I'm fighting the controls trying not to fly into a wall more than anything else.

Is it an open beta (or can I finally use the U3 redemption code for it, I tried putting the code in before but it said it basically couldn't do anything with it)?

It is meh

Warhawk destroys Starhawk every which way

You want a fun. intense online experience? Try Warhawk

I have to say this is probably the 1st MP oustide of co-op I can see myself having some real fun with. I love the variety of tatics you employ on the battlefield.

Its pretty fun. I'm a beast on the ground but I'm kinda scared to try flying a hawk. My tactic on acidsea is I just rush to get the mines in the middle and make sure I defend the place. I've noticed though that I'm starting to see some annoying tricks being used. Like if a hawk tried to take me on the ground while its walking I would be able to fend it off most of the time and come off the victor but sometimes when they walk and try to take me they will jump at the same time making it difficult to hit them with grenades. I wish more people had mics cause with building there has to be teamwork as mentioned or else you'll have a flag carrier having to run on foot all the way back to base.

So I found the ultimate trolling tactic on Acid Sea: 1) Wait till you have enough rift energy to build the weapons bunker, sniper tower, and jetpack dispenser. 2) Grab the jetpack, then load up on weapons. 3) Fly to the top of the pipes facing the enemy base. 4) Enjoy. :twisted:

Nobody expects to get sniped up from up there and if you have the rocket launcher from the weapons bunker any hawks that come up to kill you can be easily dealt with.

Yes. It's very original and a nice change of pace from all the generic multiplayer FPS games.

After finally deciding to have a go at the beta (wasn't a big fan of Warhawk) I am very impressed with Starhawk.

I find the flying to be a lot more accessible, which allowed me to get some intense aerial combat action.

Shooting has been greatly improved, and the addition of jet packs is just awesome.

I really am liking how you can call in for walls and buildings to be built where you want them, and I can see this being critical for modes like zone (sadly this was not in the beta).

With this and Dragon's Dogma coming out in the same month, May looks to be a pretty good month.

Played a few rounds, but I actully found WarHawk more addictive

I was in an awesome CTF match on the space map where my team lost but the opposing team flew on a high platform near the moon, set up shop and were using Hawks to rain pain down on us. Even with a force field active, it was hard to defend against. The Hawks can be your worst nightmare if you don't prepare early to deal with them. No matter how good you are, if your team doesn't catch on to what you're trying to do, you will definitely taste defeat. I still need to get better on foot with aiming but I fair pretty good in vehicles.
