Warhawk

Re: Warhawk anyone?

Wow, this game's fun. It reminds me so much of Battlefield on the 360, which IMO is a good thing. I enjoyed that game.

I agree with Backbreaker on how the vehicles handle, they're very easy to control. However, I can't figure out how to exit a jeep. I've tried everything. I'm also unsure of how to change weapons. I need to read a manual.

4 game modes, and only 5 maps. Game modes are your standard Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, Zones, and CTF. Maps are pretty big, and the landscape looks beautiful. There's also a good number of customization options, though it's not on par with what we've seen in the Tom Clancy games.

I love how you can change the control options for each vehicle group.

I played in a room of 16, and another with 20. No lag.

5 maps? Hmm, that's a little disappointing.

There will hopefully be downloadable content.

Re: Warhawk anyone?

I was thinking there would be like 10+ maps.

How big are the maps?

Re: Warhawk anyone?

I was in the beta.


The maps are quite big actually. Depending on how many players per side. But some maps a quite huge. But it works perfectly with the game. (ie number of players, plnas, jeeps etc.)

Re: Warhawk anyone?

There are more than 5 maps. It's actually closer to 25, I think.

See, there are five "planet" maps that define the textures, and then they're broken down further into the actual gameplay maps. For example, on one planet map, archipelago, I've played a map which included both land and air combat, and one (Dogfight) that was entirely air (you weren't allowed to land - not that you could on the tiny islands). I have to say, seeing 32 people flying around an area with ZERO lag (as far as I could tell, at least) is quite a sight.

And as mintsa said, some maps are much bigger than others. One of the eucadian city maps is so big I had to use the ground vehicles just to get around it in any decent length of time.

Wow, I didn't know that. Pretty cool.

Re: Warhawk anyone?

Here's the list (I wanted to make sure I wasn't talking out my rear )

Island Outpost:

Island Battle
Installation
Over The Bridges
Bridge Out
Dogfight

The Badlands:

Desert Warfare
Supply Chain
Northern Front
Skirmish
Fortress
Dogfight

Destroyed Capitol:

High Rise Hop
The Six Boroughs
Spire Shut-In
Road to Ruin
King of the Hill
Dogfight

Archipelago:

Castle Tug-O-War
Acropolis Assault
Southern Islands
Dogfight

Eucadia:

Battle for Eucadia
Summit Command
Valley Battle
High vs. Low
Urban Strike
Northern Bridge
Dogfight


I haven't played even close to all of these, but I can guess that the map is what dictates whether the game is ground, air, or both. Some of those sound like they could be ground only, but I've yet to run into one in-game.

Re: Warhawk anyone?

Wow, I want this game!

Are there any upgrades you unlock as your rank goes up such as new weapons for ground or air?

[bcruise]

Re: Warhawk anyone?

I want to clarify one more thing about the maps, because I just got a good look at a few of them through local games.

In a sense, there are 5 - in another, there's a lot more. The first map on each of those lists is the entire "planet", and are the huge maps usually reccommended for 16 players and up. The others focus on certain sections of that large map, and are geared toward smaller numbers of players. The rest of the map is still there, but you take damage and eventually die if you stay outside the designated area too long.

Re: Warhawk anyone?

I suck, was at Best Buy, they were putting it out. I bought it, but didn't open it. Only bought it because a buddy of mine bought it as well. Peer pressure sucks. Still don't know if I'll open it though.

Wow, EG buying a game! Usually you just by one of each 4 major sports games and then MAYBE 2-3 single player games throughout the year :wink:

One of the few times I wish I had a PS3, reliving some fun old school Warhawk memories

Re: Warhawk anyone?

I have 2 accounts on my PS3 - 1 with internet access and 1 without. If I create a online account with my 2nd account will that account be able to play Warhawk?

I can answer those....

If you're in the drivers seat, double tap square to exit. And you use the directional pad to change weapons.

Yeah, I figured it out. Thanks.
