Thought I'd mention it since the only place I've seen it reported is on the PSBlog...

Free map pack with the update. Can't beat that. I'll continue to enjoy Starhawk; seems like it's a great game that didn't find a huge audience. Also there is more ranks. A prestige thing I guess. I've only gotten to like level 30 so it doesn't matter to me much right now.

So FYI free maps yo!

That's awesome. Too bad this game sold just awful when it didn't deserve too

Man should I get Starhawk? It always seemed well-made but my assumption that it wouldn't sell so well turned out to be correct.

jsut started playin it. Couple games in. The map is insane... way different than the other maps because its completely covered with trees so it changes how you use a Hawk pretty drastically I'd say. And coming down in a pod thru the trees is pretty awesome.

Really kewl map but the framerate has been rough for me on a full game.

Starhawk was loads of fun, but the game was so poorly balanced that it started to feel pointless after a little while.  Maybe the new maps will bring me back for a little while.

poorly balanced how?

Maps are symmetrical for the most part. Hawks are paper-thin...2 rockets and they explode. Vehicles are the same. I dunno... nothing really stands out as being overpowered to me.

Maybe the only thing was the bombs you shoot out at ground troops. But those were greatly nerfed early on.
