Warhawk Launch!

422 2

Well…after staying up way too late last night playing, I’m here to say that Warhawk is LIVE and available on the PlayStation Store AND at retailers across the country!

There were some crazy intense games last night and it was great to see players having a great time, earning medals and ranking up. I did notice that on the boards some of you guys have mentioned that your stats weren’t posting after you completed your games. First off…apologies for this, it’s never good to have a medal that you fought for not be credited to your player!

That said, we should all expect some occasional and isolated stats interruptions this week as we bring all the players from the US and Europe online…both for the PlayStation Store version and for the Blu-ray version. We’ll keep these interruptions to an absolute minimum as we would rather not drowned in a tsunami of hate mail.

On another note, we had a great battle yesterday with IGN. They had some of their staffers and some lucky applicants battle our Warhawk team here at Incognito. Needless to say, we had a wicked good time. There were some truly amazing players so to all of you that are going online with Warhawk, be on the look out for Jag71, OneAdam12, Arbole, xT3RMINATORx, WillKills…all these guys are crazy good.

I was able to record some video of our play session for your viewing pleasure – it a bit shaky-cam, not Blair Witch shaky but, well you’ll see. I got to capture, on video, one of the very few times that our best pilot, “Gergination” has ever made a mistake piloting the Warhawk. He won’t be pleased about me posting this vid but it’s entertaining nonetheless.

I’d also like to extend a request for feedback regarding the game setups that we’re currently running on the Warhawk Sever Cluster. Do you like the configurations? Do you want to see more CTF? More ZONE? Higher point limits? Etc. Let us know.

I spent some time last night listening to people on VOIP and it seems like some of the games were ending too quickly so we’ll look to increase the point limits so the games last a bit longer.

That’s it for now…I’m including a collection of Warhawk-related post links below for anyone that would like to catch up on all the Warhawk discussion that’s been published here the past several weeks.

See you all on the battlefield!

  • Great game. Have been playing it since the 2nd of Sept and having a lot of fun. I do want to make a request about CTF teamkilling. If you could increase the penalty of killing a teammate when he is carrying a flag. There have been too many people who kill their mates in order to get credit for planting the flag. Also they sacrifice some neg points to gain the 35(?) pts so they still make out with points. Is it possible to make the penalty between 100 to 200? Also if you plant the flag you can still win the game but not receive any ranking/awards for doing so. i hope you will address this issue since it can impact enjoyability of the game by it still awarding traitors. Thanks for your time.

  • just got the latest 1.93 system update.
    Warhawk still disconnects from the network before i even get to play the game. also, the servers list keeps disappearing and refreshing on its own.
    The game worked PERFECTLY just last week. With an online-only game, you’re really left to the dogs when this kind of thing happens. please get it working..

  • please o please fix stats..love the game though

  • yeaaa boat can be a really good idea :) and i hope you keep stat save bec i lose all mine to :( i hope the update tomorrow will fix this.

  • i had the game one day after the game came out and i don’t know about everyone but i have not gotten any stats update since then. Whats going on with this?

  • @trini2001.

    my stats moved right after they updated the servers the other day ago, but not since. when I log on it always says I’ve increased in rank but there’s never an increase. In a game it gives me bunches of batches and ribbons but they never show up in the stats. Ignore the rank parc, it never should have been implemented. I’ve never played a game where the ranking system as ever worked…other than poorly.

  • Dear Warhawk folks,

    is it passable to lose the background clouds on “join game” screen. The clouds floating behind the blue server name list makes me wait for a gap in the clouds to read the server names. It would also be nice if you used a bigger font.

    thank you.

  • finally Warhawk retail is out in Europe.. got it yesterday it’s great… now i had to get retail i don’t have a credit card like most europeans don’t.. but how are we (retailers) gonna get the updates? is there a plan for that??

  • same as the DL’ers, when you start up warhawk, it will log into the server and look for patches / updates and install any news before it lets you play the game.

  • Hey Incog. Anyway you can sort out this debacle you have going with the DRM? Why users who bought your game from the PSN store can’t play the game across all accounts on (1) PS3 is beyond me. Did you really need to make up your investors money, for that failed campaign, so bad you’d try to screw the very customers you need in the first place. I expected more.

  • I have a quick thing to say/ask. I play Warhawk alot (Whenever im not running the Folding@Home app.) but i am playing it on a standard definition TV. The problem is, I cant read any of the other users names and it is begining to become a challenging problem to me, i dont know if this is happening to anyone else, but its happening to me and i just wanted to inform You guys @ PSN so that you might be able to fix the problem.

    Thanx.
    Sincerely, A loyal Playstation cutomer since ps one’s launch,

  • I read all of Seahawk02’s update requests and i felt exactly the same about all of his requests so i just copied and pasted them just to remind u guys what he sed on the date of, September 2, 2007 at 8:44 am.

    1. Add troop transport capability to aircraft
    2. Allow parties to be created
    3. Create in game text messaging system
    4. Add Keyboard & Mouse Support
    5. Increase font size or allow user to adjust, because player call signs are too small
    6. Audio voice quality is horrid, even with high quality headsets the sampling and bandwidth given for voice is too low, as a result everyone sounds lifeless.
    7. When people use headsets, report who the user is so we know who is talking, because voice quality is so low, it is impossible to identify the voice with the person.
    8. Add more ranked servers
    9. When a user creates a ranked server, allow them to join the games on that server, that will encourage people to make ranked games.
    10. Allow people to play split screen coop games in ranked games. This increases the fun factor.
    11. Provide TOW missiles to ground troops & increase the number of mines around the map.
    12. Reduce the killing power of the knife, allow it to commit one hit kill, but only from behind for example.
    13. Fix the distortion in the sniper rifle reticle. Military sniper grade optics don’t have that now, why would they degrade in quality in the future?
    14. Create ejection capability in the Warhawk
    15. Fix the “Server Full” error, when there are available positions in a ranked game, but when you try and join it reports that it is full.
    16. User should be able to adjust the size of the map in the top right corner.
    17.Stop having the server list update every time you look at it, this is an annoyance, especially with the number of times you have to go to it due to the server errors of “game full”

  • i got reset all the way back to recruit for some reason, good thing i had backup data on my media card,hehe, i got my rank back plus i got higher, command general!

  • warhawk keeps disconnecting me, even with V.1.93…the game is great! but messes up.

  • I am still getting the long join game followed by “join game failed, game is full” Problem. Whats going on? It took me an hour to just to get into a server.

  • Okay, I’ll be honest and let you know that I haven’t read through all the above posts. Wow there’s a lot. However I have a suggestion for an update.

    Please talk to the Resistance Fall Of Man crew, and ask to borrow their excellent join a ranked game system. I can’t be bothered looking for a server, and being rejected. Sod that. I just want to press a button, and a random ranked game should be located, and joined. If I wan’t to go looking for a particular game, then by all means, continue with what you’ve set up, faulty though it is.

    Erm, one more suggestion that I am sure is out there already. More maps please!

    Yeah yeah I know, premium downloadable content of the future. Humph! Okay I’ll wait, but a new map ever month would be ace. Perhaps you’d do us the huge favour of allowing us to create maps of our own, to share and upload? Mmm!

  • Ok, Dylan I like everything but… I say that there needs to be (some) swimming ability not like in HUGE oceans but like small ponds and stuff… and a few small boats for new levels, but I would like to see more ZONE and CTF A.S.A.P. but the game is ausome and the best game i have ever played. GOOD JOB INCOGNITO! GOOD JOB!

  • More maps, more vehicles, swimming, and fix the server like the ranking and joining please!!!!!!!!!

  • I agree with #417 and #418

    New update requests from me and others are:
    1. More maps (at least one per month)
    2. The ability to create personal maps that can be used in a game online.
    3. Swimming, (even fishing, building a fire to cook the fish,and a tent to sleep in, the whole camping scene. Lol. Jk. but that would be nice.)
    4. Speed boats with either gun turrets or homing missles.
    5. What war doesnt have destroyer ships?(You know, the huge ones with the big guns on ’em) so those would be nice.
    6. And lastly, the same ranked game setup and separate game friendlist as the XMB (just like Resistance: Fall of Man.)

    Thank you for reading these posts and i hope you guys take theses requests into consideration.

  • Also there are these requests too:
