Stahawk MLG Involvement, All Map Packs Confirmed As FREE
StarhawkFor all of you who really don't like to pay for new map packs (yeah, you), maybe you should pick up Starhawk.
Not only is the multiplayer wicked awesome (review coming in less than 24 hours), but it was just announced at the PlayStation Blog that all map packs the developers produce will be completely free.
Sweet, right? Furthermore, Major League Gaming has taken an interest in the title's intriguing and addictive blend of third-person action and real-time strategy, which has resulted in a competition that will hand out $20,000 in prizes. If you're interested in participating, visit the MLG tournament page to get started. There's also a live stream for the MLB Starhawk exhibition featuring pro gamers Tsquared, Hastr0, and GoldenBoyFTW! If you missed it, you can check it out here.
So yeah, MLG attention and all the map packs confirmed free. Plus, the game is getting plenty of critical acclaim out there, so all in all, not a bad launch day for Starhawk. I'm kinda bitter about the single-player campaign, but you can read more about that tomorrow.

I just played Starhawk for 3 hours and it's unbelievably fun! I had so much fun! The TPShooting is very good and the control was spot on.
The dog fighting was really well done. I used lock on missiles, machine guns and flairs to distract incoming missiles. There are icons floating around the space stations that give you more missiles or fix your ship if you are damaged.
The base building......why the hell hasn't this been done before!! How addicting is this game! So far I am playing only the SP on Mercenary. The game just reeks of love and fan service. The graphics are amazing to me. I really enjoyed the look when I was in space.
Once I beat SP it's off to MP. Well done Lightbox, well done!

That's pretty awesome for players to get free maps, they should be careful though or they will create coddled entitled gamers that will ruin us all!

i hope they continue this with weekly events contests gaming with the dev nights and such.
so many awesome exclusive MP games released this gen but all have fallen flat on their face because of the lack of developer support!

Just grabbed this game today, Like Ben said, the campaign is kind of meh...more of a warm up for the online, but the online has always been where it's at for these guys. If you liked Warhawk I recommend this one. It's Warhawk on 'roids. And a pretty solid online experience. Not to mention the more people who pick up on here means more people for me to try to co-op missions with. I haven't tried those yet.
