I bought this game based on the Beta and realized that I was lied to. The Beta was a lie, we weren't testing the game, we were being setup.
They made very minute changes in the Beta and the biggest thing back then was the Vulture Jetpack fuel/recharge time, it was almost controversial. The hawk was great back then, the homer was basically a mini-cluster bomb and you could defend yourself against them much better. There was no need for tanks because we had razorbacks.
I know we can play classic Beta, but you really can't because it's not classic, nor is it Beta. I platted this game then stopped. Was convinced by a clan member to play it after the 1.03 patch and I like it enough to continue playing (at least I have a reason to since they added "prestige" levels).
It's just amazing to me that a company can produce something so fun as the Starhawk Beta then literally take a huge dump on it and drop in untested overpowered weapons and vehicles.
I will always remember the Beta as one of the best games I've played, the Starhawk release isn't even a shadow of it's formal self.
I agree with all these changes, I think the torpedo should be a game changer and obliterate everything with an increased respawn time and I think the ground should have a EMP that can be used, course I'm not going into how I think that should work because it simply won't exist.
You realize how viciously the SHnoobfanbois will argue the Torpedo shouldn't even be in the game, much less be a true Hand of God weapon like it was in the Beta?
Hell, I can't even convince them we need the SH equivalent of the Binocs.
