this game...is...the....shit. i have not seen a game that is so well balanced, so goddamn addicting, and so ****ing lag free in my life. yet not a single thread about it. please fellow ps3 owners, we finally have a game that the 360 can't match(goddamn right i said it), so why do i only see myself and rothbert talking about it, meanwhile heavenly sword, a much more lacking game experience, is getting all the news and attention. i think lair's conflicting scores(i cant play it, i might cry) and heavenly swords SOMEWHAT of a letdown has buried the hype that War(motherluvinawsome)hawk deserves. does anyone agree? oh and if anyone wants to be taught how to play the game courtesy of an asswhoopin by me, my psn name is contraghost.

Maybe cause no one really owns a PS3?

there are not that many PS3 users on this board, and warhawk is a multiplayer only game, wich makes it only for some of those few ps3 people interesting. you aren't reading about Shadowrun on the 360 board either.

OH and I don't compare those two games other than the fact that both have no single player. keep cool. think of your blood presure, and don't you use CAPS on, me m'kay?

This is what I'm talking about... other PS3 owners. My PSN handle is "rothbart", send me an friend invite and I'll send you back a GamerCastNetwork Warhawk clan invite.

I play Warhawk daily (as I can -- never for very long because I'm always busy, but it's a GREAT "jump in and play for a bit" game).



Psst! My theory on why people aren't talking about Warhawk? It's because it kicks ass and there's no fun to be made. It's hard to mock awesomeness. :D They don't call it Wowhawk for nothing.

I'll wait for your friend request.

It's just so awesome nobody knows what to say. But seriously, it's too bad that this game isn't getting talked about that much here, but it's still pretty decently big thing in other places of the internets. Great game I've gotta say, and well worth the price.

I'm going to assume that I'm one of the few PS3 owners of this forum?

If you want to make friends here, unplug your video cable on your 360 and make sweet, sweet love to it. Then you'll find friends.

If you want to talk logically and objectively about the PS3 in a non-negative way, most people will cock their heads a little and look at you like they don't understand what you're saying.

I'm not one of those people. Welcome to SarcasticGamer, I'm Sean (but you can call me "rothbart"). :D

Warhawk's stats tracking issue (still) and the false-server-full issues are a slight irritation but I've LOVED Warhawk to death since I've been playing (I was in the beta too). It's a blast and everyone with a PS3 could do themselves a service and buy it...

Why noone is talking about it? it's because people are still playing it and don't really have enough time to talk about it. I agree with all the above statements, at first i didn't see what the appeal was, controls were hard to get down at first, and i had to customize almost every option, once i got all that down and played, at first i wasn't having any fun....

....five hours later, and i was still playing it, and i'm like "man this game is fookin awesome!"

I'm actually glad I bought the game,... and rothbart, where the hell is my invite? i had to watch E5150 and Phers run around with GCN tags...

Yep, after those bugs are fixed, all I could possibly ask for in this game is more maps.

How about I send both of you a friend invite?

How about I send both of you a friend invite?

Absolutely. And please show up for our GamerCast Network game tomorrow... it's just friendly gameplay, nothing competitive or anything. We like to have fun and (mostly) behave... :D

If Obey's playing, wear a throat guard. That's all I'm sayin'...

you're not supposed to tell em that. just as much as they aren't supposed to tell me not to feed you.

If Obey's playing, wear a throat guard. That's all I'm sayin'...
Yea, those Mike Tyson Punchout's to the throat can sting.

did everyone follow me or is there some sort of conspiracy going around?

I am probably going to trade my in soon. The flying is great, but the other gameplay is just meh to me. I just bought it for the headset really. At least I get 30 bucks on the trade in.

PS3 people?!?! we had a warhawk night with 50 people yeah!!

Iplayed the game its great but not to much maps also i prefer play something else for no

I just played the download version, and they should have build in a tutorial/training function. You just start a match and don't know what to do, how to maneuver the ship, etc. It's even more frustrating than usual in MP games.

Nine, please check out this event (http://www.gamercastnetwork.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6638), it's open to all GamerCast Network folks... if you can make that time, I'd be more than happy to get you up to speed on controls and such. We play "friendly" closed games there, not overly-competitive or aggressive.

Would be a better entry point than the public servers, but here comes the same problem I have with your 360 gaming nights. You people over the pond simply have the wrong timezone.

Nine: You could always make a local match if you need to figure out controls, explore maps, etc. Granted, it's not as nice as a tutorial, but it may help you get up to speed without worrying about getting killed. It will also let you look around a map and see where various weapons are (this can be very helpful). There are quite a few write-ups online on how to play various aspects of the game.

If they are starting 4pm EST that should only be 10pm or so your time, no? It's not ideal, but you might be able to get an hour or two in there...

*edit* I just checked. You are right EST 4pm would be 10pm here.

But a local match is a good idea. At least I can get some practice flying around. Altough what I really would need is a targeting dummy. As a newbie it's hard to hit anything in those warhawks (except the wall, that is).

We're starting in about 15 minutes, you're MORE than welcome to join us... feel no pressure about being new. I'm serious, we're "friendly" there. ;)

hey, I actually had fun.

with my PS3.

btw. I just ordered a bluetooth headset. next time I can insult you guys xbl style!

Yeah, I'm here reassuring you that it's a "friendly" game and Pherstothelee had "Deathmatch" set as the mode in the first round and he's damned good... fortunately he redid the rules and made it so we could be on his team... :D

But yes, we had fun. I wondered why you never said anything...

Yep who brings a flame throwing to a knife fight lmao.

This is what I'm talking about... other PS3 owners. My PSN handle is "rothbart", send me an friend invite and I'll send you back a GamerCastNetwork Warhawk clan invite.

I'll add you, but I won't be able to join the clan, seeing as I'm already part of one, I can still show up for games though...

As for the Game itself, I bought it close to the US release (Imported it) and the gameplay it self is awesome, but the server issues got so annoying I wasn't worth the effort anymore...

But now that those issues are fixed (for the most part), I'm playing this gamer a lot, but flying Warhawks is probably what I'm worst at here... But flame throwers and tanks are way awesome...

Hopefully they'll add new DLC (hopefully free) and that'll get more buz around this game...

Good game though... Best PS3 online game by far...

Huh, clan invite?

Wheres my clan invite?! ;)

Huh, clan invite?

Wheres my clan invite?! ;)

I'm 99% sure I already sent you a clan invite, you need to check within Warhawk since they don't have that stuff worked out via the XMB yet.

Got my Clan invite, thanks Rothbart, whens the next game session?

That's right, I sent both invites at the same time so Nine, yours should be waiting.

I'm not sure when the next event is. I warned Phers that it wouldn't be at the same time because it's a rather inconvenient for "family time" in the US as it's smack in the middle of the day... it's hard arranging stuff like this so international folks can attend but the last few have been scheduled to accommodate them.

To be honest, I don't know my plans for this weekend yet. I do play throughout the week though so if you see me on, feel free to join the game I'm in and say "Hey!"

Ah found it. I thought this would be like a friend invite on the XMB

Ah found it. I thought this would be like a friend invite on the XMB

Someday that'd be nice... someday it'd be nice to have clan support built right into the XMB.

roth I love your avatar,I been sucked by TF2 beta I havnt been on warhawk for a while :/.

You should rename this forum to... Why doesn't anyone have a PS3?

Keep in mind that millions of people own PS3s. Maybe not as many millions as own 360s, but millions nonetheless.

Is the Warhawk voice over quality really low? Everyone I've met online so far with a mic has had a garbled voice that I can barely understand...

Is the Warhawk voice over quality really low? Everyone I've met online so far with a mic has had a garbled voice that I can barely understand...

I've noticed that myself... occasionally there will be a person that sounds like they're on a walkie talkie that's sitting 20 feet away. Most of the people I've chatted with (from here to Sweden) sounds perfectly clear when (and if) they choose to talk. In the beta, Warhawk had Hot Mic (meaning you just talked, it always picked up your speech) and that garbled sound was almost constant... my guess is that some folks don't have their mic levels set correctly... or just have really bad mics.

You can set your mic levels?

I got to go check that out... I have no Idea how bad I must sound in game...

It's a PS3-level setting, not something within Warhawk. It's where you define which device(s) to use for headset and microphone.

I'm interested in picking it up, but I'm not quite sure yet. I like this kind of game, it's just that I usually suck at aiming with analog sticks. x)

Warhawk has a rather large reticle/targeting area compared to other games.

Ah, well, that's a good thing. Just need to get my paycheck for working this summer and I'll pick it up, most likely.

It's got a lot of auto aim too...

"Who brings a flame thrower to a knifeing fight!?"

I do, the flame thrower is teh best weapon in that game... I've taken down many a tanks and jeeps and infantry, and occasionally even Warhawks with it...

"Who brings a flame thrower to a knifeing fight!?"

Apparently the inevitable winner :)

I'd be curious to know how many people that chose "this game simply blows" have actually played the game... none of the current bugs/problems affect the gameplay (but are frustrating).

I just have a blast every time I play it... I've got about 11 hours of ranked matches under my belt and feel like I'm just as excited playing it as when I first got it...

Rothbart, add me to your buddy list if you have room. My PSN is the same as my username.

Unfortunately I have to return my PS3 to best buy and get a new one. Something is wrong with my GPU because I'm getting weird glitches, and Folklore won't even run at all. It keeps on freezing on the selection screen. I know it's still under the 1 year sony warranty, but I don't want to go through the hassle of sending it in to get a refurbished one. And since console freezing is covered under the PRP, I can just get a new one from Best Buy...

I like the game itself...

The server selection process blows, as well as the fact that there's no matchmakings...

And ranking Glitches...

I've played for like 7 hours total and I'm already a Commander, meaning there are even less games to get into...

Once you get pass that crap into the game itself witha decent number of people it's excrutiatingly fun...

Nobody talks though...

I hit another rank glitch last night and made Air Marshal. I had a phenomenal couple of rounds though... all the stats seem to track accurately, just the rank itself is off.

BTW, on the server selection, I've had very little difficulty lately. Go into your filter and select "My Rank" and it'll only show matches you can join. I usually only join 32 player games that have at least 4 slots free and probably get accepted 90% of the time. When I don't, I almost always get into the next server I pick. For a while there it was horrible, but it hasn't been bad (for me) in weeks (many weeks).

The rumor floating around of a ~December expansion pack has got me a bit stoked (I'm trying not to get worked up over it as it's purely speculation at this point -- someone says it's listed as a rumor in the latest Game Informer that isn't in stores yet).

I got a record (for me) six ribbons in one match last night. w00t!

I got myself a new PS3! Plus a new PRP and get my 5 free blu-rays. Gotta love Best Buy's policy. Asked for the $600 gift card instead of a new PS3. Just used it to buy the $500 one and a new PRP. Wonderful deal!


Newho. I've been having a bit of more trouble getting on Warhawk servers on my new PS3. I'm gonna have to futz with some things to see if it's my internet connection to the new PS3.

I usually get 6+ ribbons on games where my team has people who actually coordinate plans and talk to each other over the mics. I really like to fly the warhawk and usually protect my base in capture the flag via my warhawk. Or if it's the Archipegalo (sp?) level, I'll usually harrass the other flag with cluster bombs, lignting, and TOW missiles. I'm usually careful enough to avoid the SAM missile turret, but sometimes I get too cocky and forget it's there. But I'm always back to dish more crap.

The greatest thing about that level is there are less warhawks than usual to fly. So it's easier to keep the skies clear. I also can use the environment more easily to set air mine traps and lose the enemy easily. Keeping my cloaking at 200 is also a nice bonus.

You've obviously never played Archipelago on Dogfight mode... 32 Warhawks flying around with no way to land... airborn chaos is that that is.

I play either TDM or Zones, I don't typically play CTF because the matches are over too quick for my liking. I personally prefer the 20-30 minute matches with high score limits. I don't care much for the 6 minute matches personally.

As for connection issues, what specifically are you having trouble with? What's your NAT type? (you can find this in the network settigns via the XMB).

My issues have been that I've been getting more "game is full" messages than usual... Sometimes it takes me a good dozen tries before I get in... Don't know what's wrong because I could easily get in on my old PS3...

My type is 1 I believe because It's directly connected to an Ethernet cable.

I'm surprised your CTF matches end so quickly. It's almost impossible to get 3 captures in a round unless the other team really sucks. At least when I'm playing. I usually get a full 1/2 hour of gameplay in a CTF round. Granted I never really try for the flag. I usually defend in my own warhawk.

My type is 1 I believe because It's directly connected to an Ethernet cable.

I get in first try ~90% of the time, and second try is equally about 90% of the time. I rarely have to try a third... in the past this was true, but not for many, many weeks.

When you say "directly connected to an Ethernet cable" do you mean directly to say a cable modem or are you simply implying a wired connection? I use an ethernet cable too, but it goes from my PS3 to a switch to a router to the cable modem. I have NAT Type 2 (which I believe is the most common). There are FAQs on how to adjust your NAT type depending on your setup. If you're not behind a NAT router, I'd highly suggest it... it's generally safer than not being.

I'm using my school's internet. So I'm sure they have a pretty tight security thing set up. And Yes I did imply wired connection... *shrugs* perhaps I'll reinstall the warhawk data to see if that fixes anything.

More importantly, see what the PS3 reports your NAT type is and report back here... my guess is that your Warhawk install isn't messed up.

That would be a good start... *goes to check ps3*

It is type one.

Well the only logic behind the install being messed up is that I was able to connect fine on my old PS3, but not so much with the new one I got...

So you have no router, is that correct? I know people have said that UPnP needs to be on for NAT Type 2 but honestly, this is one area I'm not an expert. I have read some How To's on changing your NAT Type, but it involves manipulating the environment as the PS3 sees it, not simply going in and choosing NAT Type 2.

correct. No router is hooked up to my ps3... How much does one cost?

You can get a decent one for $50 US or less. But I should clarify that this is generally a good idea for computing in general, this isn't going to necessarily be a magic bullet for your PS3 Warhawk connection problems.

Are your connection problems simply completing a connection to a game or is it a Server Full error message?

Server full errors.

Server full errors.

Oh, that's probably not you or your end. How do you choose your servers? Explain what you look for when choosing a server.

Personally, I look for 32 player games with at least 4 spots free. I mainly look for ranked servers (blue in the list) with Zones selected.

Maybe there's something you're doing that causing you to get a lot of server full errors... don't look for 31/32 games, look for the 26/32 or 28/32 games.

Sorry, but i think it is an over-rated pile of dross.

The maps are too big to run about or drive about and shoot which i know they made it this way so you could fly. But the moment you jump into a warhawk and get sniped out of the air by an anti-air cannon within seconds.

I know PS3 games have been getting some bad reviews for control systems (Lair) and longevity (Heavenly Sword) but i feel this is one game which should have gotten worse reviews than it did. I would say the original Battlefield 1942 plays a darn site better than this piece of crap. Waste of twenty of my english pounds.

*looks up "dross"*

What game modes are you using? Zones and Capture the Flag typically cause congestion in certain key parts of the map so you can easily get into the action without flying Warhawks. Also, there's an art to not falling prey to the turrets. I mostly use Warhawks as a mode of transportation, not a primary mode of play. That's what confused me about your comments. I primarily play on foot and ground vehicles (but can fly the Warhawk if/when necessary).

I can appreciate that the game's not for everyone, but I'm puzzled by the things you're complaining about. I should also note that in your server list you can simply set filter options to confine your server searches to only show games with a higher number of players and smaller map area if you're wanting a more frantic run-and-gun third person shooter experience.

I guess my experience of the game reminded me of Planetside, the old MMFPS made by SOE on the PC. It was rubbish. You spent 5 minutes kitting out your guy at the base, the next 20 minutes treking out to the battlefield and then died 5 seconds later only to have to go back to kit out your guy again. Warhawk reminded me of that, it was simply no fun for me.

And i ain't a Halo online fan either so i ain't gonna start comparing it to that. I would say if it played more like the Battlefield games or even the Star Wars Battlefront games i'd be happier.

You do know you can choose any of your occupied areas to spawn in, right? Warhawk failed majorly in the "documentation and/or tutorial" area for people that bought the downloadable version.

If you're spawning on the far end of a map like Badlands and then try to trek by foot to the other end of the map, yeah, that'd suck. But there are three vehicle types and multiple spawn points to keep you close to the action.

And in all honesty, everyone's gathered the perfect weapon combo only to be sniped or plowed over by a jeep. It happens...

And to Darkwonders... I jinxed myself. Last night it took me four tries to get into a game. I haven't had that bad of luck in a LONG time. Of course once I did, I had one of the best games I've ever had... :D

I'm starting to think it's my schools internet that's causing the problem. I'm home for my fall break, and I was able to join a game right away. Played a few rounds of CTF and got in the top 10 every time :D I Even got second on the Eucadia map!
And no, I'm not one of those people who camp at the base and wait for the flag to be taken, just so I can get an easy 10 points every time. I spend the majority of my time in the air making sure other warhawks don't come towards my base.
I'm a pretty mean dogfighter. My K/D ratio is usually between 2 and 3. And I'm doing a lot of stuff. This inludes trying to keep our closest bases capped (This is a lot harder than it looks. It seems the same guy always tries to come back to cap it himself.)
Taking out tanks whilst trying to avoid their cannon fire.
Taking out SAM turrets before they cause too much damage to our team
Stopping jeeps from either coming or leaving our base
Lightning the enemy's base to get rid of mines.
Setting up air mines in really unfortunate places ;)
Picking off foot soldiers (Yeah, it's cheap, but it's better than letting them live to get into a SAM turret...)
Uh... I think that's it...
oh yeah, and taking out enemies Air mines. I've even killed a few enemy warhawks that were either hovering too close to their own mine, or unfortunate enough to fly by just when I explode the mine. Good times.:)

Anyways, to Zaphoduk, I don't know why you don't like the mechanics of the game. I absolutely love flying. It's so much fun having control of the skies. And it's quite easy to get to a place in less than a couple of minutes. Plus if you know where the weapon spawns are, you can collect your weapons of choice rather rapidly as well...

Plus if you know where the weapon spawns are, you can collect your weapons of choice rather rapidly as well...


I'm still learning where some of the weapons are. I will occasionally start local game just to search/study the map(s). I recently located the binoculars in the second story of a half blown up building on The Badlands map. You have to climb a large pile of rubble, go through a doorway into a 2nd room and there they are (not visible from the ground below). BTW, just inside that doorway is a GREAT place for a mine... one of those "too late" spots... :D

Yeah Binocs are in the weirdest place sometimes. Do you know where they are in the Destroyed Capital level? It's in a really convenient spot, but if you don't know about it, you'll probably never find it. I usually don't use the binocs unless something calls for it. That's probably because my choice of vehicle is the warhawk, so there's no need for me to find the foot weapons at every spawn.

Not off the top of my head, where are they?

You have to use a warhawk to access them. They're in the upper pillar in the 3 story buildings. The entire room is stocked for every occasion. You can get all the weapons minus the mines up there.

dude who wants a $600 piece of crud that has no good titles, when u could by a 360? But warhawk is a ok game, still not worth getting a ps3 for.

But that would be crazy, wouldn't it?

Warhawk v1.1 Patch and Arbiters
+ Posted by Dylan Jobe // Game Director, Warhawk (http://blog.us.playstation.com/?author=68)

Hey everyone, its been awhile since I last made a post (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2007/08/28/warhawk-launch/) here. The team and I have been cranking away on support and updates for Warhawk (http://www.us.playstation.com/Warhawk/) and I thought it’d be a good idea to give you all an update as to what the hell we’ve been up to.

So … since my last post, we’ve launched Warhawk in South-East Asia, Korea and Japan — which now means our community spans 15 different languages!

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2037/1638854259_a9df4807f9_o.jpg

We’ve also been working on a lot of fixes, server-side updates and client patches. Because lets face it, while the team and I were really happy with our launch and players around the globe were having a blast playing, there were some problems that players encountered once we rolled the game out to the masses (stats, connection issues, etc). I’m not going to sugar coat that with a strawberry-flavored, pink, PR candy shell – it’s the truth.

All of that said, we have been hard at work to address the big issues that our Warhawk community currently is experiencing. We have already addressed the majority of our stats-related issues with the deployment of a few server-side updates. These were updates that we rolled out “on our end” without any of the players having to download an actual Warhawk patch. These updates also fixed many of the connection issues. But not all.

The remaining core updates have to be delivered as a client-side patch, hence my next topic - the impending global release of our Warhawk v1.1 patch.

Now we actually have been working on 2 patches — but I’ll talk about the second patch in my next post.

The first update, the v1.1 patch, addresses the critical issues with stats and connectivity. Those two points were the focus of this patch and while they may seem small, they had a huge impact on our player base.

The v1.1 patch is in the last stages of testing right now and should be deployed worldwide by the end of October. Here’s a change list for the server-side updates that we’ve already made as well as what’s upcoming in v1.1:

Server-side updates
* Stat database stability improvements
* Improved server stability
* Max Clan limit changed from 32 to 64
* Viral Rank-up bug fixed and correct for players that were accidentally ranked up.
* “Time-in-Vehicle” Stats fixed so certain awards can now be granted properly.

Client-side updates for Patch v1.1
* Stat connection, fetch/post fixes
* Significantly improved client connection stability
* Quad “????” Ping display bug fixed.
* Added support for Player-Ranked Servers.
* Game synchronization fixes due to fluctuating network conditions (packet-drop).
* Crash fixes for end of game and split screen.

These updates make a huge improvement to the stats and connection issues that some players were experiencing. The team and I know how much of a pisser it is to not get the award your worked for or how frustrating it can be to try and get on to some of the busy, popular servers.

The v1.1 patch makes the world a much happier place … ok, maybe not the world, but at least the Warhawk universe

We are also responding to complaints about wankers that are stat-padding, griefing or just messing with the Warhawk community in general. This is incredibly frustrating for players and we are not taking it lightly!!

A few weeks ago one of our mods made a post on the Warhawk forums letting people know that kind of behavior will not be tolerated. That was just a warning. Now, to protect the Warhawk community and preserve the legitimacy of our worldwide leader boards, I am announcing the existence of the Warhawk Arbiters. These are members of our online services groups in both the US and Europe that will be overseeing the leader boards, community stats and will also be “in the trenches” joining game servers for first-hand observation. Their PSN account names will remain a secret. They have the authority to warn players, call a player out to prove his or her skills, or render judgment … think Judge Dredd (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge_Dredd).

Judgment can take many forms, an email warning, forum post, a kick, temporary/permanent ban, or the Warhawk Arbiters can request your Warhawk stats be “cleansed.”

There are thousands and thousands of good, well-mannered players. We will not tolerate a small few messing with our global community. So be warned!!

That’s it for now; I’ll be posting again very soon to discuss the v1.2 patch…

As always, Rock on!

Hi guys, first post here.

Every forum needs another PS3 owner ;)

My copy of this arrived this morning and cant wait to play it but my TV busted up at the moment.

Can't wait to play, hopefully see some of you online at some point!

I guess it is after 3:00pm. School's out for the day I see... run along little boy... let the adults talk.

Dangggg, rothbart you are ice cold!

dude who wants a $600 piece of crud that has no good titles, when u could by a 360? But warhawk is a ok game, still not worth getting a ps3 for.

Yeah i finaly caved in and bought a PS3, then i ran to Hollywood video to rent a game, and a stared at the PS3 section and realized there was nothing i wanted to play on the ps3, or ive already played it on the 360. So i rented Uncharted. Its ok. Just bought Warhawk for 20 bucks so according to this thred , it should be good.

EDIT: Love Warhawk!!! Fantastic game!!!

That's an exceptionally excellent deal. I've never seen Warhawk for $20. If I saw it for $20, I'd buy a 2nd copy just to have it on disc as well (because my son would like to play it under his login and we cannot do that with the downloaded version).

I'm just trying to point out that I've seen that game for NO LESS than $40, personally. And that's used, sans headset.

A simple, no-nonsense, "this is how you dodge missiles without chaff" tutorial. I don't play much in the air, but knowing how to do this might change that a bit...

VX1gDnqJBGM

I'm sure a few of you will say "duh... you didn't know that?!?" No, I didn't know how to reliably do it. But now I do... ;)

this was the first game i bought for ps3, but im not the biggest fan. i know this is the ps3 game for most people but for some reason i just dont really care for it. the flying is pretty cool but i cant stand ground combat unless ur in a frickin tank. I still kinda like this game, but i wont be buying warhawk 2

I prefer the Chaff + cloaking combo. That way I can hide and get behind them.

Sans? .... "Without". OK. got that. Never mind... French is confusing mixed with English...
Anyway, the cheapest I could find the game without the headset was 20 quid. And to find it for 10? Kudos. If you find any other deals that good, tell us cos PS3 games are multi-region and I'll be buying an American copy... :thumbsup:

Just a warning, the DLC for Warhawk is not region-free. I read that some folks bought DLC from an out-of-country PS Store and for whatever reason, they can't use it now... I'll try to find the details on that...

UPDATE: Here's his comment addressing that issue (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/03/21/warhawk-contest-winners-plus-v13-trailer/comment-page-2/#comment-50364)

I know that. It's the discs I meant. If anyone in the US finds discs of games that are cheaper than normal price, tell us. :thumbsup:

EDIT: Rothbart, there is an even easier way of dodging missiles than that "Pro Flight" method. You strafe. I will make a video to further explain how this works, but if you have missiles locked on, you move the right analog stick side to side so your plane "rocks left to right." No spinning. This works for me about 95% of the time, and I don't even have to change my flight path if I combine this with the spark things that stop missiles targeting...

I discovered the simplicity while finding easier ways of dodging missiles with a higher dodging success rate... I found it... :thumbsup:

For those that haven't seen it yet, Warhawk (the downloadable version) is now on sale for $29.99 via the PS Store.

Operation: Broken Mirror is going to be available April 17th for 7.99.

Check out the Playstation Blog (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/03/28/operation-broken-mirror/) for more details on it.

Just one quick note. There are going to be no maps that have both the Dropship and the APC. Dylan says he doesn't want to force people into buying packs they don't want, so he's opting not to combine them on the same map.

Perhaps down the line they'll make some when they decide to make the packs free or discounted.

After viewing the video on the PS Blog and reading Dylan's post, Operation Broken Mirror went straight from a "probable buy" up to an "insta-buy" for me. April 17th is SO far away! :sad:

Warhawk Operation: Broken Mirror details, trailer (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/03/28/operation-broken-mirror/)


Operation: Broken Mirror has gone “gold” and will be available in the Playstation Store on April, 17th for $7.99 !!
To celebrate the release of our second Booster-Pack, our fine friends on the Playstation Store team have agreed to run a limited-time sale on Warhawk for just $29.99 (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/03/27/playstation-store-update-28/). This is a crazy-good deal and I can’t wait to get an influx of new players — But a warning to all you hardcore Warhawk players…please be gentle!!! http://blog.us.playstation.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif

Ok…to kick things off, scope the video below – it’s the trailer for our second booster-pack, Operation: Broken Mirror!
Granted, you probably just watched the video but in case you didn’t, here’s a quick summary of what Operation Broken Mirror includes:
10 layouts on a brand new winter battlefield, Vaporfield Glacier.
2 new Armored Personnel Carriers (Chernovan and Eucadian styles).
10 bonus layouts for battlefields from the original game so that you can play with the APCs.First let me write a bit about the new battlefield.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2387/2368211095_14f17087c1_o.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/2368211095/)
So yes, finally it’s a snow level…something that everyone has been asking for. And no…our next expansion will not feature a lava-level !! http://blog.us.playstation.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif
It does feature dynamic weather so in some screenshots you will see the sun is shining, there are shadows and very little, if any snow falling. In others, you may notice that the weather conditions have changed. When the sun is behind the clouds, the snow is stronger, whipping back and forth, the shadows flatten and the lighting becomes more diffuse. And yes… the weather state is synchronized across the network.
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3077/2369046158_5dbb8742e7_o.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/2369046158/)
Vaporfield Glacier is a vast, windswept valley filled with huge chunks of glacial ice, raised highways, deep chasms, with military bases and research facilities scattered around the frigid landscape. At the heart of the battlefield lies Olsavik Village, a small abandoned town whose people have long since left their homes after years of bloody conflict in the Eucadian War.

~burrr~
“I’m so cold….so very, very cold…”
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2212/2368211045_4827f53e71_o.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/2368211045/)
While our last booster pack, Operation: Omega Dawn (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2007/12/18/warhawk-omega-dawn-faq/) sold really well (thanks to all of you) and was received very positively, some players on the Warhawk forums did voice a concern that the Omega Factory battlefield was too large!! Something that I must admit I was surprised to hear but nevertheless, it came from our player community so we took it very seriously.
So…we took a different approach with Vaporfield Glacier. The naked battlefield is in-fact larger that Omega Dawn. However, we decided to include twice as many layouts so that we could provide players with more variety in small and medium maps. We also included something else that our community has been requesting for quite sometime — asymmetrical layouts.

So like I was saying, Vaporfield Glacier battlefield is large but it’s carved-up into a bunch of smaller layouts that would provide players with a lot of layout variation. Here are the layouts that you’ll get with Operation: Broken Mirror:

We’re really happy with the way these layouts play and hope all of you enjoy them as well. I was also really glad that SONY was cool with us doubling the number of layouts without increasing the price.
As you know from our previous Booster-Pack we like to “retro-fit” the new vehicles into the core battlefields to keep things fresh. In Operation: Omega Dawn, we included the Dropship into each of the big layouts from the 5 original core battlefields as “bonus” layouts.
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3286/2369046322_0ae6940ac4_o.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/2369046322/)
Well…this time around, we really wanted to increase the number of bonus layouts because the APCs play really well on both large and medium layouts. So I’m happy to say that Operation: Broken Mirror includes not 5 but 10 bonus layouts that feature the APCs.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2125/2368211227_95d9146284_o.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/2368211227/)
Now…on to the APCs. And they are jam-packed with Yummy Gameplay Goodness! I should trademark that so that I can say something like “our new booster features YGG technology!”
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2386/2368210931_7a80435fb9_o.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/2368210931/)
…but I digress.
APCs – They have a ton of features so here’s a quick YGG summary:
APCs support a driver and 6 other troops in “pop-up” hatches that allow troops to use their own weapons, making the APC like a customizable weapons platform.
APCs act as mobile spawn points for your team so you can setup field bases, help coordinate ground assaults, and spawn directly into them as another player is driving them around.
When you spawn into an APC, your troop is rewarded with an additional weapon based on an internal loot-table.
APCs can activate a huge shield by placing an E-POD.
APCs have a boost ability that not only allows them to traverse distances more quickly, but it also acts as a ram-attack that obliterates other vehicles (except the tank because of its super-heavy armor).http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2392/2369046124_9b912157ca_o.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/2369046124/)
I’m probably gonna have to respond to a lot of comments and questions from this post so that you can get some specific answers. So let ‘em rip!
Oh, and because I know someone is going to ask me…”why is this booster pack called Broken Mirror?”
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3272/2368210913_c72458dc4d_o.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/2368210913/)
Well… and maybe this gives too much exposure into how my mind works (or doesn’t work I guess), I found the fracture patterns of broken glass very similar to the crystalline structures of ice and snow — So there…”Broken Mirror”

This new expansion pack looks awesome!!! I'm buzzing now! :grin:

Thanks for all the information Rothbart! :thumbsup:

hey what about me? i started a whole thread about it! (and i fixed the link rothbart)

I didn't mean to steal your thunder... I simply copied/pasted what Infinite Justice had posted over at the GCN forums... :tongue:

well what ever. its coming out the 17th and the update is coming out the 2nd

oh man, I want it now!

my bro luvs warhawk im not so sure about it, i absolutely agree with the SG Podcast Team because the hip fire always (except for sniper) system is SH*T and the drivin in the jeep is terrible *PS3 Owner* dw not a fanboy

drivin in the jeep is terrible

Driving in the jeep is "terrible"? Please elaborate... the gun in the back is useless, but the jeep itself is pretty great IMO. It's fast, very maneuverable and you can plow over enemies while driving you, two buddies, and possibly the flag wherever you need to go.

the gun in the back is useless

soz i will elaborate, the jeep is useless in general, and that proves worthy to the quote because even though it is maneuverable and fast it makes it extremely vunerable from attacks from a warhawk, grenade or even a sniper. So even though its a good drive, that point is cancelled out by the vunerablity of attacks on the jeep.

yea i love the jeep. the gun in the back is good if your standing still and trying 2 kill somone and it's also great against tanks. i have an awesome stategy. if a tank is coming twoards u ram it strait on and switch 2 gunner and shoot the crap out of him. in this position he cannot shoot you without doing seriouse damage 2 himself so what will probably happen is that you will drain his health, he will shoot and nearly kill himself and then you keep shooting 2 finish the job. just please make sure u have full health when doing this OR IT WILL NOT WORK. the next most likley casinario is that he kills both of u, but look on the brightside now a tank is 1 step further away from blowing the brains out of 1 of ur team members

So even though its a good drive, that point is cancelled out by the vunerablity of attacks on the jeep.

i totally dont agree. though it does make u vulnerable 2 air attacks a good driver can easily avoid the warhawk long enough to get 2 either a friendly base or health. it is also a great way 4 transporting and as i have already stated is great 4 fighting tanks and any infantry around them. just not at the same time:cool2:

I think ive been playing with sh*t drivers cous every time i go to a turret on the back of the jeep i almost instantly die or last a minute or so before im smashed into smitherenes lolz, thanks for your ideas you have successfully changed my mind

ya if they uped the gun a little i would use it more, but for me it is just an extra seat that can be kind of useful. what i like to do with the jeep is to find a tank, thats low on health, be low on health my self, get up to full speed, and then hop out, then...BOOM!

ya if they uped the gun a little i would use it more, but for me it is just an extra seat that can be kind of useful

the passengers seat is really retarded. i really wish that they could at least fire a gun

ya like you will be able to do in the APC, i like to use the jeep to go in grab the flag and run, i think that is why it was made

I freak'n love tha jeep, use it all tha time, n tha gat is great, Ive defended many bridge check points F-R-to-tha-izzom bitch jeeps n warhawks n infantry wit jiznust two jeeps (each one fac'n a different side of tha vridge) wit they turrets where the sun be shinin and I be rhymin'.

god this needs 2 stop now

the passengers seat is really retarded. i really wish that they could at least fire a gun

At least the jeep doesn't have to stop or slow down for you to get out (tank either). I don't know how many times I've "bailed at the last second" while the driver exploded to his death mere feet away.

Especially when you hear that ominous... hissssSSSSSS BOOM!

I so want a PS3 right now. Just for this and GT5.

so if you wanted to play warhwak today you had to download update v 1.3, what do you think?

i like it, you get new paint jobs that are really cool, like the dragon one for the nemmisis. i like the wrench but i have not been able to find the gas stuff that heals friends and kills foes, want to try it out. does it work on vehicles?

i havent been able 2 play the update much. i played deathmatch 4 about half an hour and i didnt once use any of the new things and then i went into another game where my team was outnumbered 2 to 1 and they were honestly the best team i have ever seen that wasnt a clan. great snipers, awesome dropship use, good defenders laying mins all over the place (the little b******), and awesome warhawk support. after 15 minutes of playing i just put down my controller gave a salute of surrender and left my noob team to be devoured by the hordes

thanks for answering the question!

In Eucadia, the bio-field generator is by 2nd flag from your base (across the bridge, up the slight hill and around the corner to the right. The flaming building right there has a bio-field generator right behind it. I only checked it out in local player at the time because the servers were still down (I think).

thanks, i want to try it out

I haven't installed the new patch yet. Been too busy playing Rock Band... That game is addictive!

the shock gun thingy, how do you charge that up?

the shock gun thingy, how do you charge that up?

You have to have 10 rounds of it. Just hold down the fire button. You should see it fill up on your reticule. When it's full just release it towards an enemy.

wow first comment directly talking about my experience with the new patch, cool. so far i think the wrench is great, the biofield generator is good if your trying to capture, or prevent the the capture of a base, and the new paint jobs are sweet. the only thing i dont like is that they took away the awesome theme music in the begining and replaced it with battle music NOOOOOOOOOOO :sad::sad::sad::sad:

i like it but the old music was also good, they should split the music up 50/50

thanks, off to try it out

The wrentch is great for making the tanks last longer, get the second guy in the hatch to hit the tank with the wrentch when low on health and you're kicking ass all ove the place. You can also attach the bio field to the tank som the hatchguy gets healed. Pretty cool.

Edit: Oh and it's also great for bumrushing other tanks.

warhawk is the best game ever

warhawk is the best game ever

While I think that's stretching it, Warhawk's the one game I've played the most over the last 2-3 years. It seems in it for the long haul... the community's active, the gameplay's easy to pick up and hard to master. The balance is pretty incredible. It's a blast.

actually any gta is the best game ever but this is up there as one of the best

that is a great idea never thought of that

that is a great idea never thought of that

I did that tonight and it worked perfectly. I was in a tank as the passenge with the wrench. We went head to head with another tank (with no wrench-holding passenger) and as we traded shots, I simply healed our tank while the opponent's tank blew up! It was awesome!

BTW, Open-Mic + Cross Team Chat is a great and sorely needed pair of features for the game... Open-mic chat used to be in there but they yanked it for Push-To-Talk chat... I'm glad we have the option now. I didn't check to see if they put the "mute player" option back in or if it's still there... I used to have to mute 3-4 guys immediately in the beta because their mic was a constant warbling sound.

only problem is you can get sniped but you should be under the hatch if the tank is not in need of fixing. and how do you do cross team cha?t i heard about it but never tried it

that is a great idea never thought of that

how did that not occur to you?? thats one of the only uses for the wrench. if your playing co-op this is the ultimate strategy

how do you do cross team cha?t i heard about it but never tried it

It's a server option. If you're playing on the Official servers (or a ranked one), it's not available... if you're hosting your own games, you set it in the advanced options. It's perfect for Gamer Nights because everyone can talk... I love hearing people after awesome kills/deaths, etc.

Yeah that was fun. Though, Rothbart, I think you should let someone else host. There was some chat lag when we were playing. Plus everyone's ping was around 200+.

Everyone's or just the Euro-guys? The Dark Sora was going to host but he could only host 12 players... we had more than 12 players (although I'm not sure how many distinct players there were since multiple of us had friends playing split screen too)

UPDATE: My ping was great! :D

what is ping exactly, wow i am such a n00b

Everyone's or just the Euro-guys? The Dark Sora was going to host but he could only host 12 players... we had more than 12 players (although I'm not sure how many distinct players there were since multiple of us had friends playing split screen too)

UPDATE: My ping was great! :D



oh sweet! I now have a the infront of my name! That sounds bomb

oh sweet! I now have a the infront of my name! That sounds bomb

ha ha... I was going to type "The host" but then I remembered who it was... forgot to take "the" out... seeing as I only know one Dark Sora, you are "the" Dark Sora, but that might also imply that there's a Bright Sora or Light Sora (maybe both?) :lol:

oh did he just call you stupid?!?!?!?!

Are we doing another Warhawk gaming night this week? I missed out on last weeks due to work but I'm free this weekend pretty much.

Also, is there a clan so you can just jump in to other peoples games and not have to add everyone as a friend (like to keep my list fairly clean and mostly firends)?

I'm out of town this weekend, hound Dark Sora.

maybe i will.

Technically there is a light sora...( real one)
Also, there is a gamer night Lono just has yet to post it.

Is it War Hawk or CoD4 (a mans game BTW).....


(*still hasnt bought warhawk even though he owned a PS3 since launch)

same here yet to buy an online game actually. yet to post my PSN ID here (though it is in my profile). I thought that people dont want me clogging up their friends lists if I am not going to play online. (getting GTAIV soon though).

Warhawk looks awesome. Just have not got around to buying it yet.

This game is still popular... It's fantastic! I love the updates!
Bring on Broken Mirror!!!

blaspheme!

i read somewhere that there is going to be no broken mirrior/ omega dawn games. why would that be? i dont know. could it be that they dont want the drop ship with 7 people to carrie the APC that has a bubble shield and another 7 people. thats 14 people. imagine the size of an attack on a base you could muster? debate! debate monkey!

They didn't want to initially fragment the games such that people would need to own both expansions to join, plus I don't know if the modifications for dropship and APC interfere with each other or not.

What I read from Dyland Jobe made it sound like eventually we're likely to see that ability, but initially, we won't.

lol the 'this game blows' people, really aren't surprising AT ALL, all people im guessing, probably have never played this game or don't have a PS3

Warhawk is the ps3's Halo. Everyone most likely already knows this, but which is better I've yet to be able to find out. :undecided:

Warhawk definitely doesn't have the widespread appeal that Halo had on the Xbox (Halo sold over 5M copies). Having said that, I do feel that Halo got a lion's share of attention because there arguably wasn't much else of that caliber out at the time and getting all the attention for so long is an argument that could possibly be made for Warhawk.

Warhawk won't even sell 5M copies though... and I don't expect to see a Warhawk trilogy with Incognito tearing itself away from Sony first party with Bungie like force... :lol:

im hoping they bring a single player out though at some point

I would now like to change my vote, when I voted I was on a COD4 high:roll:, now that i've been playing warhawk alot more, I would say that it is a great game, not the greatest but it is one heck of a game:thumbsup:

For those who were reluctant to pay 7.99 for the Omega Dawn booster can now get both boosters for 11.99. So for those who waited get to save 4 bucks on the boosters!

That's not a bad deal at all! While I wasn't crazy about the Omega Factory map, the dropship was a pretty cool addition. Initial reports indicate Broken Mirror delivers on many more levels that Omega Dawn did, so if you mentally picture that $4 savings coming from the Omega Dawn expansion, it all seems fairly priced! :grin:

This is confirmed to not be coming to the Warhawk we know (and love). That said, if they ever do another Warhawk, I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see it.

The $12 deal makes me wish I had waited to get both boosters when broken mirror came out.

i think i will do that. what are your impressions on broken mirror??

Wow, talk about a revamp. The game's at a whole new level now with the APC... I can tell from the last couple hours that I'm going to LOVE the new map and APC from the expansion.

Being able to respawn into your APC (that's camped under a bubble shield at the enemy's base) adds a whole new dynamic to capture the flag. Ramming tanks for an insta-kill is sweet too (if you can manage to line it up...) To ram, it's just like boost in a Warhawk... double-tap R2 to charge to full charge, then release... if you immediately press and hold R2 afterwards, you'll boost for quite a distance. Holding L2 & R2 lets you powerslide very effectively (you can turn around in one fluid movement on the raised roads in Vaporfield Glacier.

Bubble shields keep you from being shot from the outside, but not the inside... 6 people in the APC trading off on Mechanic's Wrench duties can keep an APC alive for what seems like FOREVER... it'll take five direct tank hits before it's dead (without any wrench repairs).

When you spawn into the APC, you get one random "bonus" weapon... sometimes it's useful (rocket launcher) sometimes, not so useful (sniper rifle).

The new map has some pretty sweet spots for ground troops and air combat (or stealth). Flying through the ice crevaces and seemingly popping up from the ground is pretty awesome to see and do. There are so many alleys, nooks, crannies, etc. You can go into (and on top of) a lot of the buildings in the center of town too.

If you can't tell, I'm totally jazzed about this pack. Totally worth the $7.99 if you like Warhawk!

I selected that it Simply blows =P. My PS3 has only been a Blu ray player thusfar. I only have 1 game for my PS3 & that is Need for Speed Carbon. I haven't touched it yet. It came with the PS3. I'm getting MGS4 & then it will be a very long stretch before Final Fantasy XIII. All multiplatform games are xboix 360 purchases automatically. The achievements make the difference ;).

It's almost like they took a little AMS from PlanetSide when thinking of the APC here in Warhawk. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind, just pointing out some similarities. the AMS (http://www.rtrickey.com/Images/PlanetsideReskin/PS_AMS_original.jpg) is a mobile spawn point (with equipment on-board so you don't have to go into battle without your favorite stuff), that when deployed has a bubble around it that cloaks the vehicle and everyone inside the bubble.
Here (http://planetside.station.sony.com/howto/vehicles.vm) is the PlanetSide vehicle page, sorry I can't link right to the AMS, but if you are interested, it is under the support tab and the first one listed there.

ANYWAY... I'll probably be picking this up later today. See you on the battlefield!

is the APC's bubble shilled one that moves with it or once it is deployed it stays in one spot.

You haven't even played the game, you can;t judge it dumbass.

The Bubble Shield stays in one spot and you cannot generate another one for quite a long time... probably two minutes?

The Biofield-Generator isn't really a "shield", per se, but it's attachable to things.

The BG actively hurts your opponents but doesn't stop them from shooting you inside it (although it heals you)... the BS stops enemies from shooting you from outside the shield to inside the shield but it does not harm enemies that come inside the BS.

As such, the BG is great for dropping around a flag to protect it, and a BS is great for dropping around a flag that has many of your teammates guarding it as it will stop distance attacks... sadly, it's humiliating to be chillin' inside a bubble shield and have someone come knife half your team...

Has anyone played in the new Broken Mirror maps yet?
Are they worth it?

My post from earlier today says "Hi!" :grin:

I absolutely love warhawk but can't seem to get myself to buy the bundle of omega and broken mirror due to the release of GTA IV and the MGO beta so close. This is also why i wont be getting the cod4 maps. Id love to get them but I wont have time for it. Hope you guys enjoy your purchases.

You haven't even played the game, you can;t judge it dumbass.

What makes you come to that conclusion? I have played the game a number of times through a friend. I don't own the game myself as I said, the game simply blows. Well, to be honest, it's " OK ", but not worth a purchase in my opinion. I only OWN 1 game for the PS3 as a mentioned before. That does not mean i haven't played other PS3 games. Watch your choice of words as well. A useless insult you pulled out there.

everyone says its crap untill you play it for a good couple of hours
so your still a dumbass
go warhawk

Ok, let me get this straight. I'm a dumbass because I dislike a single game? I guess by that logic, everyone is a dumbass at some point in there life. Since there is a game that everyone has put a few hours into & didn't end up liking. Just so you, chris24680, & anyone else that is interested knows, I've played a good 20+ online games of Warhawk & I'll say that it's not the game itself. It's more of the style of game it is. I NEVER liked vehicle based shooters. Except for Twisted Metal. I didn't like Quake Wars, didn't like battlefield, I loved the UT series but hated the Vehicle CTF mode, etc. So that is my reason for not liking Warhawk.

I played as many games as I did because I TRIED to like it. A lot of my friends & guild mates for other games were playing it & enjoyed it. I simply could not get into it. I'm more into pure FPS games. I played very little of the Halo franchise. I haven't touched 3 yet though although I have it. I didn't like the warthog & all that other crap either. I stuck strictly to team slayer. I should try to like game modes that have vehicles in it but I simply don't for some reason.

I don't mind being insulted. Growing up in Harlem NYC, I've had much more done to me than just insults. So that hardly phases me. With that said however, I expect a constructive & productive post to go with that insult. Not one of those " You suck for not liking this " responses. It's childish & it makes the person typing those kinds of responses the one lacking intellect. Instead, It should be more on the grounds of asking me why I dislike the game. I would of gladly gave my reasons & maybe users on this forum can point to ways that cou8ld make me enjoy the game. That's all it takes. Not a petty insult.

-LatinLegacy

No, you just said that the only game you had for the PS3 was some other one, you never mentioned in your paragraph about actually playing Warhawk.

I personally don't like it that much either.

guys leave the poor fellow alone. this is not what sarcastic gammer is about. it is about sarcasm. dont be hating. also i dont like reading ridiculously large posts.

it sounds as though the BS is like the Gungan shield in Star Wars episode one the phantom menace. is that correct?

i just got both the maps in the bundle for $12, and i am more than pleased, the maps are huge, the only downside to them is because their so big it sucks when theres less than 20 in a room

By far that's a bigger problem with Omega Dawn than it is with Broken Mirror because you can spawn inside the APC with Broken Mirror, keeping folks in the action.

ya i got the same bundle. it kicks ass. BM (broken mirror) is supposed to be bigger but i thing OMD (omega dawn) but OMD feels bigger and is also very vertical.

i'm pretty sure omega dawn is bigger, i actually like omega dawn more when you break it up into section rather than having to play the entire map, but broken mirror is the beez neez :w00t:, i like every part of it except when you play in the small village

i'm pretty sure omega dawn is bigger

Dylan Jobe said on the PS Blog that Vaporfield Glacier is bigger than Omega Factory but better layouts (and the APC) help alleviate that "away from the action" feeling you sometimes get from Omega Factory.
