Starhawk (PS3)

Re: Starhawk (PS3)

I still haven't tried it yet, but since I'm a PS+ user I won't need my UC3 code. First OS friend to Meebo chat me gets the code (if you're not my friend, you can try and be really quick and shoot me a friend request and then message me before anyone else ).

Oh yeah, forgot about that....I guess I don't need my UC3 code either. Same offer (only I'll take PM's as well)

Re: Starhawk (PS3)

I tried the beta for about an hour. I never played Warhawk.

Starhawk reminds me a little of Unreal Tournament with the graphics and futuristic setting. Not as frantic since the maps were bigger. Had to travel a bit to fight, but I think the player limit is lower for the beta right now.
The building adds to the game. Playing CTF, my team was building walls and turrents around our flag.
I will certainly play some more and keep an eye out for the retail release.

Warhawk was really fun, so I expect the same with Starhawk.......plus Starhawk will have a fleshed out single player campaign too.

Right now the maps are medium-sized equivalents to Warhawk. I'd imagine that we'd be seeing some 32-player options and I'll be interested to see if they're carryover some modes like zones, collection, and hero (Hero was awesome and would've benefited more if it was released earlier).

I think retail release might be on May 8, 2012. That's what I've heard.

Re: Starhawk (PS3)

I played some last night and, I dunno - I'm not really feeling it so far. Unless I'm missing something I think there's a tremendous potential for spawn abuse in this game. Since you can put structures on most flat surfaces, you can drop them down in close proximity to the enemy's spawn and continually spawn to them (certain structures show up green on the map, and those represent areas you can spawn to). They can be destroyed of course, but if an entire team spawns to them I don't know how the pinned-in team would hold them off.

About the structures and that bar at the top right - do those represent your personal resources for building structures or the entire team's?

I've seen some people trying to do that with the pod beacons and perhaps LightBox can change certain things about it. Pod Beacons go down fairly quickly, but yes I've seen some people trying to place them in obscure places. It is important to take down any that show up near your base asap.

Personally I like the idea of the Pod Beacon as not only with the drop pods are you now able to control where you spawn, but it takes a huge lack of coordination and such for one side to fall into such a disadvantage.

To answer your question, that thing up there on the top right is the entire team, so in a 16-player game each side has 32 buildings they can spawn, but I believe that will change depending on how many players there can be in a server, or rather it should be.
