Starhawk (PS3)

Re: Starhawk (PS3)

Yep. People will always try to find exploits in a game. (Remembers people whining about not being allowed to jump to the glitch area in the ship level in Resistance).

If I run into this I'll report it.

In Starhawk my pod just kept exploding in the air everytime I was trying to land. At first I thought it was a lucky shot from a cannon or something but when I seen the knife icon near his name I new something was wrong. When I died it panned down to him on the ground. If I did get to the ground it was pretty much instant death and no one was around. It's only happened to me once but whatever the guy was doing it made the game unplayable.

Interesting, I haven't run into that and I don't think it had to do anything with lag (since servers and bandwidth are all provided by SCEA this time I believe, unlike Warhawk).

You could file a complaint or report the user doing that.

No I won't report the user as it's a beta and it could be just a technical screwup.

It most likely is a technical screw-up, but if the person is exploiting this in just the beta to gain an unfair advantage, it needs to be looked at, regardless if the person turns out to be long-time Warhawk player like me or a new person interested in Starhawk. At the very least he probably won't be banned or whatever, but it'll get LightBox's attention on what's happening.

Anyways, it's good that you didn't report him, my advice was a bit tactless at the time, but I do hope like many others the person took the time to bring this to the attention of LightBox. There have been some funky bugs, such as being able to fly in mech-mode (which is why LightBox wants people to post videos).

What I'll probably do is just report what I experienced.

Re: Starhawk (PS3)

How do I download the beta?

I'm signed up for PS+ and I looked everywhere in the store. Or is it not up yet?

[Flawless]

Re: Starhawk (PS3)

It's up under the PS+ section for me.

Is the beta any good?

Re: Starhawk (PS3)

Yeah, I was hoping someone would give us their impression.

Re: Starhawk (PS3)

At this point it's a work-in-progress. There are still patches and stuff being rolled out but for those familiar with Warhawk, it is definitely more balanced right now.

There's a learning curve with trying to figure out the buildings and the mechanics, but once you do figure things out it's actually pretty fun. It has a lot of potential and these guys will listen to feedback.

Re: Starhawk (PS3)

It's a beta so their will be problems such as connection issues but I am enjoying the game so far. It is a bit of a departure from Warhawk and can be confusing as their is a alot going on. I like that you can drop in buildings such as sniper towers, ammo supply depot, defensive walls, & turrets etc. Another thing I like is how you deploy in a pod that drops onto the battlefield. The auto lock-on when aiming that was in Warhawk is gone which is good. When aiming it goes to a over the shoulder view sorta like socom 4. Warhawks can transform into mechs to do battle on the ground.
