I havent played Starhawk yet so i'm going to have to wait to make a direct comparison but...
the biggest problem is that very few people play Warhawk anymore. There are almost no Sony servers up anymore, the user hosted servers are almost always run by dudes that like to kick you if you kill them or they are completly one-sided (enough with the Eucadia northern bridge map already) and its near impossible to find a match that has any of the expansion packs.
Starhawk will give an infusion of new players, and that will be good for both games.
Look, this isn't supposed to be Warhawk 2. It's a totally different game, based on the bare foundation of Warhawk. Calling down buildings for weapons is nothing like CoD loadouts or Killzone. If there was no skill needed in Starhawk, explain why some people have 32-3 and others have 4-12? Yeah thought so. The BnB allows for completely different battles every round, because YOU shape the map.

I disagree. I think the foundation is the problem.
The foundation should have been Warhawk and had additions made such as finetuning the graphics, adding improved animations and female skins but instead we have something more generic and noob friendly.
This is the problem i have with it, most shooters you just run and gun, die and repeat. This was never the case in Warhawk because it took skill to survive and take people down. In Starhawk you don't need any skill to take someone down cause you can rely on regenerative health or the R3 melee button.
On top of that you also have to call buildings down to get weapons and vehicles which is much more like loadouts you find in KZ and COD rather than allowing for random battles.
Warhawk will forever be better unless the foundation gets changed.
I'm not following you, bud. Anytime I just run around shooting like a jackass in Starhawk, much like in Warhawk, I get my fool head blown off. And I still don't see the comparisons to Call of Duty, other than adding a button to melee rather than having to switch to a knife and regenerating health. And neither of those things have lessened my enjoyment. It's now easier to knife someone that gets too close, but miss and it leaves you open. No more jackasses just running around swinging their knife wildly like on Close Quarters. Regenerating health can be annoying if you're having trouble killing someone, but it's a godsend if you're smart enough to stick to areas with decent cover so you can get your life back and come out shooting when someone gets the drop on you.
