Warhawk Contest Winners! Plus v1.3 trailer!

225 14

“Insert witty opening BLOG greeting here” :-)

Most of our readers and Warhawk aficionados know that we recently held a contest for players in the US to submit their own insignias and aircraft paint schemes. The response was fantastic and we received a ton of entries. Thus why it has taken us so damn long to review them all, then pick the winners, contact them, and secure all the paper work required by our lawyers.

Welp… the winners are now selected and integrated with the upcoming Warhawk v1.3 update!

Before we reveal the new designs, why don’t you take a gander at this brand new v1.3 trailer and get hyped up for the awesomeness that these new designs will be flying around in:

The team was really impressed by the quality of the submissions. Many of you spent a lot of time designing really great stuff and it’s going to make a great addition to the game — aside form the fact that it’s just plain sweet to get your stuff in a game!

And like I said before the team was really impressed by the paint schemes especially since they clearly took the most time to create. Our artists were so happy with the results that they took the time recently to generate hi-res renderings of all the winners.

The images turned out pretty damn cool and I thought that I would post them here as the announcement rather than a standard text list — text is soooo old-school :-)

Thanks you all for entering the contest – all your great designs add a lot of value to our new v1.3 update!!!

~drum-roll~

Fellow internet-peeps (not to be confused with the seasonal, addictive Peeps), here are the winners!!!

Here are the winning insignias!

We really liked these insignias be cause they were so diverse; from simple abstract shapes all the way to literal items. These should really help our players personalize their troops and aircraft!

Now of course I can’t leave this BLOG entry without updating you on the v1.3 patch and the upcoming Booster-Pack Operation: Broken Mirror.

The v1.3 patch is “basically” done and our international teams are in the last few days of test so I should be able to announce a release date very soon.

Operation Broken Mirror is also “basically” done but hasn’t gone “gold” yet…in hindsight, I wonder if there is a law or some form of internet etiquette that limits how many words I use in a single post with “digital-air-quotes“? Doh…there’s another one.

~blah~

I will be making an announcement about this very soon as well. And I must say, the team and I are really happy with how much fun this new Booster is. Between it and the new equipment added in the v1.3 patch, Warhawk feels like a fresh game!

So I’ll leave you all with a little treat, cause you all know how I like to embed little treats in my posts. Here’s a small teaser image from the upcoming booster. But….I fractured it into a bazzilion little pieces — like a digital jig-saw.

And I totally realize that making a puzzle out of a preview screenshot *does* prove to the world that I am a huge game addict!

  • DYLAN PLEASE REPLY
    so does the hand thrown bio-shield generator also stop incoming fire? like the one the APC droops.

  • good to here the new map have smaller layout……i purchased the OD….but seldom play it ….i guess the map too big for me too…..

  • Dylan, I just read the idea about a “Last Man Standing” game mode another user commented about, and I wanna say EXCELLENT IDEA! Please consider this!

    That would honestly be my FAVORITE mode to play!

    Again, please consider this!

  • i already ready the money to purchase the booster pack [map(smaller layout hope)+npc] hope the booster will bought by many people….so all can play….
    NPC carry 6 people hear i come…..beware your flag….

  • Thanks SO much Dylan, I love Warhawk and am extremely excited about the upcoming patch.

    Firstly, will the APC be incorporated in just the largest layouts of the maps similar to the dropship, or will it be a little easier to find/respawn, and can more than two be on one battlefield?

    Secondly, were you and your team implying that Broken Mirror will be released with the 1.3 patch on April 2nd, or is it set for a different release date.

    Thanks, again for letting me participate in your contest, I can’t wait to be wearing my “Winged Sword” Insignia!

  • Couple of Questions:

    For the wrench, is there a limit on it or is perminent?

    How many field generaters to you get? 4 or 1?

    How long do the generaters last? Can they be destroyed?

    Warhawk is look’n good as ever, keep it up guys.
    Thanks for the game!! =)

  • @ post #4……….. ZOMFG! new game!

  • what can i say about this game???

    this is the one of the best games of the world…
    the ps3 owners will play this game forever!

    or until you launch Warhawk 2 :D

    thanks for the 1.3 patch, Operation: Broken Mirror and congratulations for the new vehicle!

    ^^

  • I trust this game to be good since warhawk is a very good game, that lots of people still play. Can’t wait to hear about this new game, and anticipate an annoucement.

  • for some reason I thought the wrench was to fix the vehicles not to destroy it lol…

    Anyway I will love to play this in 4/2

  • I can hardly wait. Another booster pack I can’t buy for my imported US copy of Warhawk because of Sony’s dumb, short sighted policy of region locking DLC and barring non-US credit cards from the store. Woohoo.

  • @155:if I got this right you can use your wrench to heal your teammates vehicles and to damage your opponents vehicles

    @156: Im with you, so many good things we aren’t able to download, it just pissed me off

  • @156: P.S. At least we can download the patch :p

  • I would like to see a way to send an invite to a buddy while in a game playing.

  • Dylan,
    I sincerely hope Sony has learned their lesson in loosing David and Corey and are really stepping up the compensation.
    You guys at Incog. are world class.

  • Dylan,
    It looks like Warhawk will kickass in 2008 keep pumping out DLC GOOD JOB INCOGNITO…..

  • Dylan, For those of us that have purchased both booster packs will their be map configurations that include both vehicles? I feel loyal Warhawk fans that have supported DLC should be able to play with both vehicles in one game. I know this creates some logistical difficulties as there would have to be a way of checking that those that purchase Broken Mirror also have Omega Dawn, but I’d love to see the matches with both dropships and apcs in the fray. Can you comment about support for both vehicles in a single match for those that have bought both packs? Perhaps a combined pack. One a side note I think I know something else about Broken Mirror’s map that you haven’t revealed. Vaporfield Glacier (I know that’s the name of the new map) will not be symetrical as implied by the title “Broken Mirror”.

  • Dylan!!!! GIVE CO PILOTS GUNS PLEASE!!!! Each update makes the warhawks less and less powerful compared to everything else. I know its a plane, and it should be vulnerable. But ocme on, it would help split screen play really well if your copilot could shoot!

  • The whole reason i have stopped playing on Warhawk was because of that stupid 5 second respawn on all ranked sony severs.

    The 2 second respawn was great, but 5 seconds?

    WAY too long.

    Also, something has gone stupidly wrong with my PSN account with Warhawk…

    I was 69th in the world, and for some strange stupid reason, all of my stats, history, and records where WIPED. So i lost EVERYTHING, aswell as my 69th place in the world, and this is another point in why i dont play on Warhawk any more.

    So Dylan, any help?

  • I love WarHawk, but am longing to go HOME.

  • @Emilio Buono #169

    Dude 5 seconds is too long for you to wait. Ritalin much?
    The reason why all of your stats was because all of them were reset last Fall. Before there were massive rank up jumps which were totally innaccurate. Do like I did, suck it up and start over and get your rank back up. If you’re any good at all it won’t take you that lonmg to come up.

    Peace

  • mr. Dylan… if i play some ranked games create by players or me… like Capture the flag on small maps, and make 300 points… i’m going to be punished?
    Can i play this kind of games… before patch v1.2 several number of users create this type of games to make 1000… points.. standing near the flag…

  • Hey Dylan are you still paying attention?Well if you are.

    Could you guys get the mini-missile luncher from the transport ship and use it to replace the .50 cal machine gun on some of the jeeps.It shouldn’t be on all jeeps but one at the main bases would be nice.(should be pretty easy to do since most of the code would already be written)

    We also need a new mounted weapon,something along the lines of a big cannon with no lock would be nice.

    One last thing for today,since you started the double tap for the bio-field it opens up the possibility for several other weapons.One I would like to see is a orbital camera,Its pretty simple all it does is allow a top down view of the whole map allowing you to zoom in or out to spot enemies across the battlefield.

    I have plenty more I could post but for now this should be good enough.If any of you like my ideas please post so.Dylan if you want to hear about more ideas just email me at Branden_Bartley@yahoo.com

  • A Panzer :D or a motocycle…. ships… this game have so much to give…

  • Hello mr.Dylan, I have the warhawk game, and my nick is: xpto999.

    I have 2 questions…

    1-When I receive a medal, it simply doesn´t appear on my profile , I already won that medal twice and I waited for 2 days but it simply didn´t appear there. What can I do?

    2-When I receive a badge, the bagde doesn´t appear on my profile either, I have to win the badges twice for them appear on my profile, and that´s very frustrating.

    Can you please help in solving these mistakes as soon as possible?

    Best regards,

    Xpto999

  • Another Lusoplay member here!
    xpto999 o/

    By the way.. Mr. Dylan.. if possible, please answer…. my questions… :D

  • one way to improve warhawk is by letting the co-pilot use a rear mounted machinegun so they can defend against rear enemies
    Mr Dylan could you make this possible?

  • Hy netweb…

    Besides… Mr.Dylan… can you answer my question too??

    It´s very important…

    PS- I´ve got the omega down pack…

  • Hy netweb…

    Besides… Mr.Dylan, can you answer to my questions too? It´s very important to me…

  • Hy netweb

    Besides…

    Mr.Dylan, can you answer my questions too please? It´s very important to me to…

  • ops… sorry… o made e triple post…

    I was posting but nothing appear…

    My mistake… sorry once more –“

  • my question is about the longevity that WARHAWK is destined too.. will there be a WARHAWK 2… Or do you see WARHAWK adding patches when there’s a need for something new. i love WARHAWK. so many games lose thier “POW!!” when turned into a sequel. i would be crushed if WARHAWK followed the same path as so many other Games before it. right now though it doesn’t look as though it will slow down. Good for me. See ya on the Battlefield warriors.

  • xpto… easy on that…

  • G’day from downunder. Any chance of adding ‘country of origin’ flags next to the individual player names? It would be interesting to see which countries are up there on the leader board, and he’s playing from where. The Dutch community are pretty damn good. Great job on the new updates, can’t wait. Any chance of adding a grenade launcher to the passenger side seat of the 4×4?

  • Thanks Dylan for all the great work,,

    Any chance of making battles without warhawks? especially in the small layouts, like adding a setting in the room customization, because I think it would be cool to have infantry only battles, plus, I’m not that good in dogfights :|,,

    There are some small layouts that doesn’t include Tanks, so, why not Warhawks and Nemisis too.?

    Is possible to leave the binoculars even if its out of ammo, because it is really handy in recon?

    In CTF, I wish I could carry our flag untill its saved, at least adding it as a setting, like Fly with flag! Carry own flag maybe :)?

    Finally, I think there should be a better job for the warhawk co-pilot! Parachutes maybe :)?

    Regards,
    And keep up the good work..:)

  • Thanks Dylan…exciting!

    Since you can do damage with the biofield generator and wrench will we get new weapon badge achievements?

  • the second insignia is indeed a direct ripp off of another company’s logo. Hey Dylan I think you might have to find another last minute winner. I thought the contest was for”ORIGINAL CONTENT” made by the people entering? Obviously not. So thanks for all the support for your game, it would seem that you folks at Incognito care about the people that play your games. Unlike most other publishers. so poster #41 was totally right. Look into it, because I smell a copywrite infringement suit coming up on yaz.

    Also, the new map and apc are to come out about two weeks after the patch? Right?

  • Parachutes……please?

  • complete awesomeness………a great update for an awesome game

  • Some players are making cheat again…

  • I love you DYLAN your the best man!!!!! I just saw those new pictures of the APC and vaporfield glacier all 20 screenshots. Wow that is more than i could have asked for i think warhawk will be well known even after it dies out in a couple of years people will be like remember that game warhawk best game ever!!!!!!! Keep up the work dylan and could you answer my other question it is really important and for the Vaporfield pics here——-

  • Something like sabotage or king of the hill would be great for patch 1.4.

  • Dylan and the WH Team,

    Thank you so much for this contest and the continued support for this outstanding game!!! The game is phenomenal, but how bout the addition of PARACHUTES!!!!
    So we could bail out of our Hawks before that last fateful missle hits!!!!! That would be so effin’ cool!!! PARACHUTES, PARACHUTES, PARACHUTES!!!!!!
    Just my twin coppers!!! Thanks again!!!!

    DEADPOOL-52

  • please add something like a gattling gun to help ground troops against heavy vehicles and also please make something maybe like this http://www.geocities.com/amaclub/images/ff-desmon-4.jpg some sort of walker or something maybe? =)

    Thanks!

  • Dylan, I was wondering if you’re going to integrate the new maps into 24 player servers. I love OD, and got it the day it was released, but I hardly play it because I seldomly play 32 player servers, and OD is still NOT on rotation on the 24 player servers
    Hopefully this will change with the new map.

  • Awesome update keep em coming. while I’m here if anyone is still reading you wouldn’t believe what I just saw. Go to http://www.playb3yond.com click on games, scroll right until you find warhawk, and watch the warhawk video. I think just before the half way mark you will notice a little something that might catch your eye. Rewind it and take a close look because it only appears for about a second and whats that I see dylan? is that what i think it is? OH yes it is! uhuh, the APC makes a surprise appearance! I suppose that dylan must have looked through some old warhawk material and decided that he would revive the APC in the upcoming booster. lol nice dylan, next time theirs a new booster ill know to look through some old warhawk vids.

  • Mr.Dylan, I want to you please give a second chance…

    My account as been cleared beacause I entered in a “easy way” server …. It was just one time… please give-me a second chance… please put my satus as they were before and I suare I never more ´ve gonna enter in those kinda games… please,,,

  • Can you please let me become a 2º lietenant again? please :(

  • The Dropship can take the new 10 big wheel ?

  • Dylan,
    Please reply i really need to know..
    When the v1.3 patch comes out, will operation broken mirror come out at the same time and date? How much will it cost? Will you be able to have access to both the KT-424 Dropship and the new armored personal carrier in one package? like for instance if you bought both you can access both through a specific game like the omega dawn pack? Is the date on the movie the correct date? Oh.. and i was wondering.. i was playing warhawk then i got kicked for no reason.. so i went into a room and i knowticed that people were stat padding (when i didnt know what it was) and i lost all of my stats for just joining a game that i was regularly going to play ctf in.. umm i would like my stats back because i AM inocent and i have people that were with me at the time.. so i have an eye witness.. please could you put my stats back.. because i am inocent and i was just gonna play fair then i lost everything.. i was a captian and registered in playing 364 hours and i lost all of it because i joined a room that i was going to play fair in.. umm please put ym stats back plz my PSN is sunfire61594 thnx Dylan
