Starhawk (Closed) Beta Testing thread of impressions and questions.

So, how is this game turning out?

I loved Warhawk until I didn't have time to play for a while, then first 2 expansions came out, and when I came back I felt completely overwhelmed by everything.

This will probably happen again, but at the core of this game, are you able to just jump in and actually have fun? I usually don't dedicate myself to a MP game, but if there is a chance of it happening again, Starhawk would be the one.

Really good. A lot better balance between ground/vehicles/planes, much less spawn raping. Still has some tweaking too go, and it's a little light on features (because it's a beta). Missing some weapons, some vehicles, and currently only has 2 maps and 1 playtype (CTF). But I'm very impressed with how smooth it plays, especially for an early beta.

TTOB - I dont' seem to recall any time where I couldn't reclaim a wall or something else.

You can only reclaim certain objects. Garage, Jetpack Dispenser, Hawk Pad, and Walls.

Sniper tower, pod beacon, supply bunker, and sentry guns cannot be reclaimed. You also cannot blow up your own structures in the beta; so you can't destroy useless BnB drops.

How do I reclaim a building structure? I was running around my base last night but I never received a prompt for walls. Is it only structures that I have built?

Walk up to the access panel and hold down Square it will count down and the BnB item will look cracked once the time is up. Release the button and BOOM! Gone.

CTF was usually all I played. I just like multi-player to be accessible. If they're able to do that with everything going on, I'm sure I'll be happy.
 
GODDAMNIT THE GAME LOST CONNECTION!!!!

Ok, I'm going to reset my PS3 and re-host the GAF server. I plan to leave the sucker on for the next 8-9 hours BTW.

INCORRECT. Sentry guns can be dismantled.

90 minutes left to get it. And then probably have to update the client. HURRY UP PSN. ;__;

Not sure... the 20th I think? I forget.

The email I received today said the code is good until the 20th, but I assumed that referred to the activation, not the beta duration.

Does anyone know if this means I'll only have 7 days to beta test, or will existing testers be carried over into the next beta phase, as has been the case in other PSN beta tests?

Lemme check forums.

EDIT: A funny thing ---> http://starhawkthegame.com/index/

On the gun, doesn't it look like a beta code is on the gun??

Maintenance, wait 15-30 minutes.
Hey guys! I've been reading your posts since Starhawk's private beta was announced and I know there are a lot of questions. We're doing everything we can to get them answered, but I also wanted to confirm a few things here.

If you have beta questions that haven't been addressed, please post them in the forum so we can see and respond to them as quickly as possible!

Firstly--If you're in one of the SCEA regions and picked up Uncharted 3, the codes you received will get you into the public beta, which kicks off in early 2012. Don't try to use them now, because they won't work! Hold on to them until the beta begins next year. If you have questions about the cards packed into Uncharted 3, please can call 1-800-345-7669 and they'll be able to assist you.

Two different betas CONFIRMED.
 
I got a Euro code, don't know what I did to deserve this treat :p Cool game so far, prefer it to Warhawk already.

If I also get a US code, I'll give it away.
 
Well I played a few games. pretty fun. Only thing i don't like is the bloom on the weapons. Jet packs feel great, so much fun to fly. Got alot of "Failed to Connect" errors and the rooms seems to shut down when the host leaves.
 
So many failed to connects. I got one game in though. I like it! The one thing I don't like is the up close aiming. It seems to have to much..."start up". But I love the way you can build up a base, and advance your positions. I can't wait to play on some huge maps.
 
Too slow in the RTS elements. I guess for bigger battle/balance reasons but playing on the GAF server (dunno who the fuck the rest of these people are, randoms?) we had a tied CTF game because everyone was busy building defenses instead of attacking and the one time they took the flag I killed the dude with ADS and then stood there/built a turret to help me and returned the flag.

I kinda dig it, but I dunno at the same time it's not too appealing to me. Same as Warhawk, I liked the game but the high advancement requirements plus higher level players (there's a level 3 and 6 in the server while the rest of us are level 1) destroying lower level players in low-level servers drove me away.
