Anyone in the beta?

[Drew]

Yeah I feel the game seems to play better on tdm. Or at least more people to know how play. In Ctf people just spend too much time building in places that don't matter. But I can't say that I'm not one of them.. ha.

I only know where one mine dispenser is. Its on the space map, on the left going away from your own base. Top of a ramp right before you get to a square where people usually build a base. There are 2 sets of energy cans in 'he square. But once you are in the square you have gone to far. The air mines are cool, right out of star wars, and they used to be in the very middle of the map above some building. But they have moved.

When do you usually play TB?

[fishki]

when does this come out?

[twistedblister]

cool drew. i will try and check it out next time i am on the space map.

I thought it came from one of the buildings sooo.. still two or three wpeon slots i dont know how to fill on my person.


figured out that the mic setting was a system setting and not my starhawk game. ugh.

fish amazon says may 12 2012 but that might change.

Drew. i usally play around 8 CST for about an hour. i dont mind both modes
but last one was unbalanced so i spent the whole time building a little city on one of the siedes with lots of turrets :-)

[Drew]

Well weapons spawns could also have changed by now... Haven't played in a little while.

thats an awesome chain.


no worries about tonight. i can t be on every night but i like to put some time in.

some fun games. i played on capture the flag where some dude with a mic kept talking the entire game trying to coach the side. dont build duplicates get in the air come fight over here. irked me.

[fishki]

[twistedblister]

wow i captured two flags one game. i never captured one in warhawk. serriously. that was a nice feeling.

i had some fun games just now. i am not sure about the unlockables. i just got enough requirements / ponits to unlock biger clips / longer overheats.
not sure how that might work for me. i am still using gets rift energy constantly perk. i like building stuff. ha.


i had some fun harrasing the enemy while the team tried to steam the flag with a warhawk. that was fun/

this could be a very strategic fun frenetic game. and it could be very unbalnaced. depends on the players.


FISH it is open beta now go to the PSN and download it :-)

[twistedblister]

my eyes start to burn after an hour. so i am done tonight. i will check in tomorrow again at 8 cst fish man

[Drew]

Dang I should have turned it on tonight. Instead I decided to sit my arse after work and drink some beers. Yeah I haven't played enough to unlock anything. My stats got reset twice already due to updates. But that was even before they added the unlockables.

I really like that they have pre built stuff in the home bases now. The Jeeps and hawks and what not. After the private beta it the main thing I complained about on the survey. It sucked cause you had to walk everywhere or waste your energy building just to start playing.

Yeah the games can be fun, but when they go unbalanced it feels worse then warhawk.

Yeah fish, go download it

~wired on dark chocolate~

[fishki]

ok so i got the beta..... wtf

at first I was like oh....borderlands, then i finally got in a game and was like, holy shit what do i do here... and my pda is broken or I guess not supposed to let you select anything i dunno, i just kept pressing my buttons and got in a game...after 10 minutes of being killed and confused I went back to blops

[Drew]

You need to gather energy to build stuff. I'm still not a big fan of it... I think there is a manual on the starhawk website.

I'm gonna jump on in like 10 minutes. Needs to make a drink. Jump in fish

~wired on dark chocolate~

[twistedblister]

drinking beers is a good excuse to ditch anything drew. this is not a military or para military org. we are a php board for fun. if you miss out no bigge. if we had planed on clan battles and people did not show up that would make me think not to count on them in the future but right now this is all fun.


ok dang fish i dont have enough time i want to jump in but i ll post some links in about an hour or so.


really this would take a more considered regimented clan role based team if its true clan v clan but yeah there is some things that make it bottleneck and some people dont like that and i am not sure if i agree or not. any way more later gator

[fishki]

whats up with the pda at the start of the game where you tweak your settings?

my yellow square wont move, it kinda stretches out and jumps around, I cant select anything except ctf

yeah the building is kinda cool, i did build a sniper tower and a wall and jetpack generator... damn i shoot and shoot and shoot and they dont die wth!!!!

[twistedblister]

not alltogether awful links but none are perfect.

the games curve is a beast. i took lumps just trying to figure out controls. that said now that i am comfortable with a lot of stuff i will keep playing.

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/121/1217879p1.html igns sugestions on fighting


http://www.lightboxinteractive.com/3jsz ... asics.html some character and viechle basics


http://community.us.playstation.com/com ... rhawk-beta nice layout of controls.


you need to earn energy to build and use cars hawks and jetpacks eveyrone misusing say to many walls or to many gun lockers will kill a team.

there is some potential brutal organization needed. if its CTF you need to manaage fight range capture cliam ugh. this can be really special ized.

you can have one group building at a home base. other making remote bases

you can have groups ( if ctf ) constantly going for a flag.

and some defending.

you need people gathering energy and of course people fighting / harrasing the enemy.

this is warhawk with claculated resource management.

[twistedblister]

whats up with the pda at the start of the game where you tweak your settings?

< you have to earn those tweeks by doing certain things.most energy gatherd. kill with all wepons etc

my yellow square wont move, it kinda stretches out and jumps around, I cant select anything except ctf

if you mean the create box yeah only ctf and TDM are available currently

yeah the building is kinda cool, i did build a sniper tower and a wall and jetpack generator... damn i shoot and shoot and shoot and they dont die wth!!!!

< are you having trouble shooting people vicheles or buildings. buildings take alot to blow up some people can be easier once you get the feel for it. vichles can be tricky on foot. [/quote]

[fishki]

I got it redownloaded and installed, try it again tomorrow cause im tired.

nah tb It would not let me select shit, the yellow square would stretch out somewhat and jump around but that was it, didnt matter if i used stick or pad, same thing, couldnt select anything but ctf since that is where it was when i got to that screen, and then I emptied out 3 or 4 clips into a guy and didnt hurt him a bit, then another guy on my team killed him with a couple shots...wtf

[fishki]

ok got to play some , I created a game and didnt let anyone in so I could figure out what the hell im doing, absolutely love the hawk, hate the jetpacks, (always have)

I can see where walls would have some use at strategic points like end of bridges and such, and I like that you can link them together, supply bunkers a must have, sniper rifles are awesome. Glad they took hover mode out with the hawks, but now you can just land them and stomp around, they are still an easier target that way.

I did figure out you can build up on the pipes on the ground map

damn tho if you ever got penned in by the enemy your kind of fucked

[Drew]

Yeah I don't like the stomp attack. I'm not trying to stomp and it stomps and my my gun stops working and I die. Lol


and yeah the enemy can build a base in your base. It seems like they went a little backwards with the whole base rape thing.

somthing is very wrong with that. I have never experianced that or heard anything about that. i dont get it it should be the same game everyone else has. i dont get why its doing this to you. that is very messed up

[twistedblister]

cool fish glad its working adn you got some alone time to get the controls figured out.

i dont get the building on the pipe thing. if its the same as what drew is saying then yeah you can really be put in a much worse rape situation then in warhawk. that is a very scarry thing.

I'm not sure what he means about pipes either. I know you can't build on the bridges. In the center on the non space map I know you can build on those elevated platforms s little. Maybe that's what he means by pipes?

~wired on dark chocolate~

[twistedblister]

i have accidently droped turrets on inlcining pipes on structures. i am not sure if they can move to target stuff on the ground though.
