I’m not a fan of exploiting spawn camping on either side and from what it seems, even from those that support the game, is that Starhwak encourages it to be successful. I don’t have time for that type of game when there are so many other games that attempt to discourage it.

That’s fair to assume, though I frequently was at the top of my team. I never found myself doing poorly in terms of points earned, kill/death, etc. The problem, for me, is that the mid to late game of Starhawk was hampered not by the core ideas and mechanics, but by the frequent exploits on the part of the players.

It’s not a problem of “argh, campers,” but one of spawn camping being all too encouragable (in a way, necessary because of you needing to capture all points in, say, Zones) and difficult to counter. Shields are a bit expensive, and rightly so, but tanks and ground-borne hawks can counter rockets all too easily at any but the closest of distances.

It’s not an issue of “Starhawk is awful,” but one of the game being hard to recommend and hard to enjoy on anything other than the strong single player and seldom enjoyable multiplayer experience

Two grenades will kill a Hawk, or two rockets from a launcher, and three rockets will take out a tank. They’re far from invincible. Shame you weren’t able to cope with the online, but this is one of the best online experiences available if you’re up to the task. Particularly as the lobby system lets you know the ‘threat level’ of a server (how skilled people in it are), set up whatever server you want, and if the pub games are too much, set up a pw-protected server to learn the ropes with mates.

This’d be like someone getting pwned in CoD, and giving it a 2/5 from spite.

It is better than warhawk in many ways. The author just wasn’t good enough in the game that he gave it a 2 out of 5. It’s not unbalanced, like he said.

clearly a review written by someone who sucks at the game.

“devolved into some of the most unenjoyable multiplayer I’ve played in years. This is because of players exploiting the build and battle system as well as the incredible power of tanks and hawks.”

most matches dont even allow tanks (thanks to the custom lobbies). and hawks are far from invincible. every element is balanced out by other elements, it is simply about having the aptitude to use them and to plan ahead.

also, “exploiting the build and battle system?” the “build and battle” system is the entire game. Starhawk is a strategy game before its an action game. if you weren’t “exploiting the build and battle” system, than you were doing it wrong.

this is the most petulant, pathetically ill-informative review I have seen of the game. People, don’t listen to this guy. Starhawk is not unbalanced. there are countless ways to play the game and as long as you have skill and tactical aptitude, you will do fine.
