Some quick impressions:
Im playing with a bunch of US people as its a US beta but I am experiencing a bit of fps drops.
The gameplay is actually much better than Warhawk.
The build shit are really fun but I can see it taking quite some time before people actually know what they are doing. This kind of makes the gameplay a tad slower than Warhawk as you actually remain in your base and just build being all: HEHEHE AND IF I PUT THIS HERE NO1 CAN GET TO ME >:D.
The melee needs to be nerfed, one hit kill when close kinda' defeats the purpose of guns like the Shotgun.
Now to the most amazing uber 11/10 part:
I love the Hawks. They need to be buffed up or maybe its just because I suck but I have a hard time killing ground troops, and not thaat easy to kill other Hawks in general, but its truly a pain to avoid rockets coming from a rocket launcher on the ground against me flying (in air its much easier). But overall, I love the FEEL when you fly with Hawks.
I have only played about 4 matches, and 2 of those I spawned.. waited until my energy meter was on 6 so I could build a Hawk spawn, and then I just flew the whole game killing :'D. The sound, soundtrack, GRAPHICS are all really good and it is definitely a positive surprise.
I loved Warhawk and I will keep an eye on this. Hopefully they will be able to adress the balance issues before launch as expected with the two betas. Great job thus far though.
4 Match, Beta with US people from an EU player XD:
FINAL VERDICT = 11/10!!11!111!!
XD Nah I keed
Solid 8/10.
Its a spiritual successor to Warhawk, so do expect a lot of changes. Oh and the Warhog a lá Halo is fun to drive XD.
OH And I am actually using Pro flight! In Warhawk I used the beginner flight, but Pro flight here is a must! I do wish we had more control over evading though. Pressing a direction and X is kinda' lame. But the physics when you watch the wings move as you fly, and the L2+R2 .."handbrake"(sorta) really comes in handy. I LOVE FLYING :-}
