Hey guys! So I got to play Starhawk 3 times at PAX over this weekend. I don't even know where to start. The game is SICK. At its core it is totally Warhawk down to the flailing body flying across the screen when you get blown up but it definitely has changed in all the right ways.
The transition from flight to the mech is insane. The no hover mode takes some getting used to but its fucking cool as shit to be flying and see some ground shit going on and to land right on top of ground troops.
The mode was CTF and it was 5v5. The 3rd game I played I stayed up in the Hawk the entire time and helped my team cap the flags. At one point the flag carrier (Olsen77...some of you have played with him before) was running the flag back and I noticed a guy chasing him down... I landed the mech right behind the guy and pounded him with missiles. It was great and we won that match.
The melee is R3 now and I really like that change, I also really like that the ground troop guns no longer auto-lock. You have to aim and shoot.
The build and battles brings some serious intensity to the game. You can't automatically build everything. You have to get energy from killing enemies and then different build options open up. The turret builds around the flag are HUGE for defense. Being a defensive person I find this to be super cool. At one point during one of the matches the opposing team had like 6 turrets set up around the flag and it was IMPOSSIBLE to infiltrate their base. The Starhawk flight for the demo was set to proflight and the Hawk handles almost exactly the same as in Warhawk...minus hover mode.
I can't think of anything else to say at the moment. If you guys have any questions please ask. I wish you guys could have all been there playing with me!!
