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. 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!!! :-)
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.
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 !! :-)
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.
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…”
While our last booster pack, Operation: Omega Dawn 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.
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.
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!”
…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).
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?”
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”
0052 – 006F – 0063 – 006B – 004F – 006E – 0021
I hate to double post:
Are you ever going to sit down and do a PSU live chat for once. We want to talk to the guy that when we need him ain’t there, when we don’t need him, he still doesn’t reply. Now, plz make a live forum! Wit’ the whole Dev. team for us to talk to.
SPECTATOR MODE
I forgot to mention it earlier!!!
WE NEED A SPECTATOR MODE
SPECTATOR MODE
SPECTATORE MODE
Just hoping you come back to answer comments….
@133.Its true,Dylan.
They banned me.For talking in a community with people in Warhawk.
Well…
All I have to say is that,I hate those Mods and they make me……..
So,with my last warning left(all of warning came from “spam” but it was Warhawk related).
I have spammed like 2 times then….
Nothing else to do but to……..
Anyways,first day buy for OBM.
My Question,how many APC in each Map?
And How many tanks are in OBM exactly(in hte main base )? :P
Wow, Dylan is on comment-reply frenzy :D
Anyway, two questions
1) Any chance you might add new control schemes for ground vehicles like jeep and tank? I’d love to be able to control them with the left stick (up/down to accelerate/brake) as I hate triggers. I know I can use X to accelerate but I cannot rotate tank cannon without first releasing it.
2) Is there room for engine optimization or is it kinda set in stone? I can’t stand the heavy tearing in 32pp matches! Can you fix it with a patch?
Thanks a lot for your support Dylan & rest of the team!
I was thinking, it would be cool if you guys had a way of tracking how much work we do in the folding@home, and for every work job we do, we get like 10 cents or something in the playstation store. More diseases would be cured, people would have a little more money to spend, you feel good because you saved lives, and i get praised for coming up with this strange yet brilliant idea. Everyone wins!!
@ Dylan Jobe
Hey, can’t wait to buy the new ground booster! Omega Dawn had some of my favorite layouts, and the new weapons, the vaporfield glacier layouts look awesome, meaning Warhawk will probably be my GOTY again( and it’ll consume the “whatcha been playin?” segment on my radio show).
For the next patch, could you please consider changing the troop/warhawk/dropship HUD or add an option to change it, so that you can see what weapons you have at all times instead of having to toggle a weapon just to know what your packing.
That’d be really great! The selected weapon would be highlighted just like it is already…..just minus the unnecessary and annoying “d-pad-weapon-check”.
I’d also love to have it so that both tank seats exit on the sides of the tank so the tank doesn’t keep pushing you if you hop out while someone is driving.
P.S. Can you add me on PSN? My PSN ID is MrDaBucket. Somebody on my list claims to be you, but I think someone is just impersonating you. I’d love to maybe have a match with you
Hey, first off I just want to say I love the game!
First off, I want to address some points. I’ve noticed in your responses you don’t always answer all the questions asked, but focus on one or two. So If you could please give at least a brief answer or comment to these, thanks.
1. So I saw you said you can actually enter the building at the Olvalik Village. Can you enter the other buildings on the map? There are a few awesome buildings, such as at DC, that have an entrance but you can’t actually go in them. Are you possibly looking into that in the future?
2. Another issue that I’ve seen is with the mountains and “Out Of Bounds” zones. Levels, such as Eucadia, have a huge mountain range that is displayed on the mini map, but when you fly there thinking it as “A Snipers Heaven” only to be dissappointed by “Mount Disabled”. Are you looking into this at all.
3. Yes, I am bringing up “Booster Pollination” again. As you can see, everyone wants it. I think it’ll give Warhawk more YGG Technology (please don’t sue me for saying that =P). I propose to make it a “bonus map” for player hosted servers. That way you aren’t “forcing” anyone to buy all the boosters.
4. Two words, Empty Binocs. You may have heard this before, but what about having empty binocs as defualt so you can always have the ability to zoom in from afar, but the binocs won’t have ammo until you get the pick up.
These are all some great ideas I heard, and I just want to know what you think about them. Thanks.
Dylan, thanks for answering our questions.
Patch 1.3 supposedly adds some Home functionality like group launching..etc.
Do you know if we will be able to test this functionality from the current Home beta?
Hey Dylan and Incog Team,
Great job supporting my favorite game!
Quick question: Warhawk is rated T for Mild Language. I haven’t heard any language. Was the game rated during the existence of the single player campaign?
I would love it if you could clear this up for me.
thanks
please this is my favorite game online period but i recently damaged my thumb badly, my thumb locks and pops in positions =/ because of this turn acceleration or something with the joy stick ruins my ability to control looking, if there is anything you can change thank you so very much, seriously =) either way though ill still be playing the game of course.
Please also concider these suggestions as well too, though some are just random thoughts they still seem like maybe they will lead to more great ideas of your guys, i trust from what ive seen you all know best:
– add something like a gattling gun to help ground troops against heavy vehicles (or at least any minigun of some sort, they’re a lot of fun)
– make something maybe like this http://www.geocities.com/amaclub/images/ff-desmon-4.jpg some sort of walker or something
– rainy level
– skins for the 4×4’s
– this is more of a joke than a recommendation of course but a nuke, now that is destruction
– improve stealth abilities w/ knife and now i guess wrench
– hang-glider
– allow more of the character diversity
– maybe, just maybe, push 1 or 2 servers to 64 player
– and last the experience double weekend or any other increase will be very nice
once again their ideas and suggestions, i hope maybe something will make a spark or ill be listened. thank you again for your support to us all on warhawk =)
Awesome, can’t wait.
However not being able to throw the flag away, if I’ve read correctly the comments, is kinda sad. It was my favorite tactics when I was alone in the ennemy base camp :
– get the flag
– run in base around buildings until there is someone purchasing me
– throw the flag
– place 1 mine and wait for the ennemy to explode
– get the flag back and run away
– repeat process when ennemies are in sight
But well, I understand why you decide to remove, since it is abused by lamers (rankup), the best move is to remove it I guess.
Too bad but totally understable.
It looks like we tired Dylan out!
Thanks for the great informative replies (even the ones you had to repeat 10 times).
I have a question / concern.
I haven’t bought WH yet as I found the price to high for an online only game (since this is my first console that is ‘online’ I’m not big into it yet)
However, the new pricing (yes even 32.99 CDN is still attractive) is edging me closer.
The BIG concern I have is that I understand that the DL version of WH will only allow me to play on my machine as myself. IE. My son and daughters will not be able to go online with this game and build their own stats.
Is there any thought to fixing this? Is there a piracy concern of some type? I ask as PSN games like PJM or HVB seem to be able to do it.
Great job on the game from the looks of it and a new customer can be yours with the ‘right’ answer.
Cheers.
awesome job, warhawk is actually my game of choice for online. evevything about is great. here is a couple suggestions: it takes too long to get new ranks, we need a shotgun(please) for troops, the pistol need more power and the warhawk armor a bit stronger. outside of that, everything is great and keep the good work. I really look forward all your updates, new booster pack and whatever is your next game. please make it jetmoto.
Hey Dylanm really nice job cooking up these I updates ***gives E-high 5***
The one feature that there should be is when you are flying, you double tap R2 of course to boost, but you should be able to double-tap L2 to do an emergency stop. The reason why is that I find when I’m playing that I stop too far away from my intended stopping position, so if that would maybe be possible, then *** gives another E-high 5***
Thanks again ^^
hey Dylan, could you make an option to take pictures for the next patch (by pressing print screen on a usb keyboard) and the pictures to go directly to our hardrive.
Insomniac made this not so long ago for Resistance, it works great for two things…
1. We can take pictures of people using glitches making it a lot easier to report them.
2. Would love to take some pictures of our characters in action
I was never interested into online games before Warhawk. Now I can’t buy one if it doesn’t have multiplayer. This game is so amazing. I’m very strangely addicted to this game.
Will the music in the trailer be featured in the game? That would be amazing.
Also, a suggestion: You know those flying carriers in the early trailers? Those would be so absolutely epic for a map.
Have you considered adding a Mobile SAM or a mortar? This guy has a good idea: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=928383&topic=42209213
I’m sad you took out flag tossing! Maybe you could have made it so you don’t get points for tossing, and you don’t get points for returning the flag within 5 seconds of when it was originally taken? I’m one of the few that would give flags to those who originally took it!
Very, very sorry for the amount of questions. You seem to be losing the battle of keeping up with the comments!
Hey Dylan,
Do you have any footage of the bio field generator being blown up or something counteracting it. In the trailer for the 1.3 patch and BM it looks pretty invincible.
BTW I’m still wondering what happens if you’re in a DM and are the passenger in a tank and are swinging the wrench around, will it hurt or repair you’re vehicle since you’re an enemy and an ally at the same time.
Wow Dylan lots of answers. Thanks so much!
Anyways, since APCs and dropships=no mix in official servers, in 1.4 or a later patch would it be possible to mix them in an unranked game for us who have them? Not the biggest concern, and it would soothe us calling for it yet not split everyone else up *shrug*
Thanks again for taking the time to read everyones comments-much appriciated.
hey dylan.
Are you guys going to make a map where there are like two sides, but only 1 bridge to connect them?
There would be giant battles and with the apc, it would be diverse..
Well you might not answer this but ill type anyway
a lot of people were disappointed when single player was taken out. The gameplay seems kind of random since we don’t know the story as to why the Eucadians and Chenovans are fighting. i suggest maybe a single player add on, or maybe easier: make a short 15 minute film explaining the story, just kind of place the cut scenes from the scrapped single player together, add some stuff etc.
Great Job on OBM im definitely buying this when it comes out
Hey there my good man.
I was wondering if there are only two APC’s that can be spawned in the game at any time, or if there will be up to say, four or something?
By-the-way, thanks for putting out that Paint-Scheme and insignia contest! I can’t wait to try out my (Or should I say, ‘Your’ and Sony’s) “Winged Sword” Insignia!
Also, a few more things. An Arbiter insignia would be cool! Also, have you considered letting a person’s crosshair invisible, as well as his body? I’ve love that to make machinima with!! I’ve seen an amazing Japanese one (couldn’t understand a word, hehe) but I would love to try that.
I also love how you actually have a hanger that a Warhawk could fit in! I was always a bit angry because of that picture of the Warhawk in the hanger but we can’t even get a Warhawk in a hanger..
How many hours have you put into Warhawk, Lord Dylan Jobe?
i know i know i wont shut up but i thought of two more things
emp grenade
napalm bomb (as a swap with the cluster bomb)
seriously am sorry but again me, what about kind of making things like the original warhawk for fun, like a volcano map, or make characters with the longer hair like them or even like that anime looking character you have in the back ground or in some of your sketches i saw at gdc.
hey dylan
just a question about the point system. is their actually any reward for assisting in a kill? or is it whoever gets the kill gets the points? i absolutely hate it when i do all the hard work to get a guys health down and some ass on my team comes along with a pistol and takes two pissy shots and takes my kill! just wondering if im getting anything for that. if im not please bring back friendly fire so i can go knife his ass lol
let this be a msg to you all > dont steal my kills
Hey Dylan,
Fantastic update here, be sure to thank each and every one of the team personally for me. lol
I was wondering;
in 1.4 would it be possible to get the team to allow for custom key setups and weapon position rearrangements? I would really like to be able change the default setting more, please?
I think it has been asked before but will you be setting up any official unranked splitscreen servers?
Thanks Dylan,
Alex
Oh right. My third post -_-
But yeah, some guy mentioned this, have you considered giving points for kill assists? One time, I had over 130 assists in Badlands. Maybe you could add a point for every 2 or 4 enemies you’ve assisted at killing, if that is possible.
Thanks for answering these questions. i just have to say you guys are some of the most friendly devs that i have heard and seen about. i mean what other devs do this. Not much. By the way thanks for making a great game. Hopefully someday the booster packs will be intergrated for dropship on apc action. By the way this game is so worth more than 60 bucks. Once again thanks.
@225
You get a team point for every 5 assists I believe. Check Warhawkstats.com
Also Dylan,
As a fix to stat padding with the flag. Did you and the team consider not giving a point for picking up the flag more than once, unless they die or the flag is captured?
This might be a bit more code for you guys, but it would solve the problem without disabling features. I’m more like CrimsonFox13 in that I give the flag back to someone who deserves it!
Also, any plans for ‘triangle’ now that it wont be used on foot anymore :)
I love the sound of Napalm bombs, fav WH weapon is the clusterbombs so that would rock!
You know I probably shouldn’t be asking for new content when two new upgrades are just coming in! We sound like a needy/greedy bunch of so an’ so’s don’t we :) sorry
Alex
Hey do you approve of this idea? http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=warhawk&thread.id=437979
@229
ahk thanx for that, thats a useful site, and clears up my query. now i actually have a reason to help teammates even if its just for 1 sec, at least you get something. i reckon they should put it down to 4 assists tho coz 5 is a fair bit for 1 point.
while im here i have another problem. this time its the jeep and i have a few problems with it.
firstly i think the bumper bar underneath it is too low. i found that whenever you drive over a little bump on the ground the hole vehicle halts. this is a real big problem for me because you cant go 4wheel driving! its even worse when your getting away from a tank and you hit a tiny little bump and the vehicle stops in the path of the tank and boom your dead! perhaps you could cut some of the underneath of the vehicle so that it wouldnt knock the ground. it might also save you having to change the height of the vehicle itself.
another problem i find is with the grip the jeep has. it just feels like im surfboarding everywhere, and i feel like i have little control over its steering especially driving on angled landscape. perhaps more downforce or grip on the tires would help me feel like i have reasonable feedback from the steering. the tires just need to stick to the ground better. perhaps a wider turning angle combined with some grip would give a better sense of control.
another thing that i found is the jeep always slows down. its like my eucadian is scared of speed and he always puts his foot on the brakes. this always happens when turning, powersliding(which should give you the ablility to turn and keep going fast) or when going over bumps. it feels like the physics of the vehicle doesn’t give it any momentum, causing it to always stop. to me the jeep loses its badass appeal and theirs no way i can indimidate anyone with it other than honking the horn lol
the passenger seat of the jeep should allow atleast a pistol to be used, and maybe even the new wrench. whenever im in the passenger it just feels so pointless and crap. yeh it transports you to places but it would be so cool if you could do something along the way rather than sitting their like an idiot looking at scenery. ide really like the jeep to turn into a vehicle where you can actually do some damage and not use it ‘just for transport’. everyone just goes straight for a warhawk or tank, and leaves the jeep last. i wish the jeep had that kind of attitude surrounding it, where it would be a first choice to go for, not leftovers. right now the jeep is only used for ctf so that you can go and get the flag or grab the tank or warhawk quicker. in short the jeep is underpowered and useless at most things other than transport, and transport is boring! mayb the downside of having 3 people in at the same time would slow the jeep down eh? their are alot of things you could do to balance this out dylan, use your superinterlectuallypowered brain. allowing the passanger to shoot would make up for how dodgy the jeep is anyway
las
231 continueation:
(didnt think it would be this long)
last thing is running people over. it annoys me how i run somebody over and they dont die. then some guy drives past me and clearly misses me yet i die. i understand this may be due to ping but is their anything u can do about this dylan? it can be quite frustrating. another thing i noticed, im not sure if its intended but running somebody over causes the body to go in the opposite direction the jeep is driving lol it just seems weird and looks silly dylan, perhaps you could fix this is 1.4? usually when you run somebody over the body should go over the windscreen, under the car, off the side or go flying forward. it would satisfy me alot more running people down if this was fixed/enhanced lol
i think that about covers my issues with the jeep. my goodness that was just the jeep!? yes it was, ive been thinking about it for very long, its been swirling around in my head for ages so its about time i got it out their. dylan i just hope you find some time in the next few weeks to go through this blog and maybe take a few of these suggestions and show them to the almighty devs. hope you enjoyed the read(probably bored you out of your brains) and enjoy my money which i will be spending on OBM
cheers from meatman
my last idea ill post i swear (well maybe not really)
Anti-Air vehicle
I’d personally find it interesting if Dynamic weather could be applied to the other maps as well. Though it’d probably be too much work heh. It just seems like it’d be entertaining to have rainy dog fights over Eucadia or The Badlands with jeeps sliding across mud or something.
Quite interested in the ice canyon dog fights that will go down in Broken Mirror though. =3
Hey Dylan! Congrats to you and the team for making another outstanding booster pack! We all appreciate your continued dedication to the fans (your constant responses to the comments here reflect that!).
I had two questions:
1. You mentioned in a response to a comment how much you guys respect the guys over at Insomniac. I was wondering, has the team ever considered implementing a party system similar to Resistance? It makes setting up games and overall just hanging out with friends so much easier! What about voice channels? For example, RFOM has “Tango”, “Zulu”, etc where players can quickly jump into and speak only to other players within that channel. These small changes would ultimately really heighten and streamline the Warhawk experience in my opinion.
2. I was also wondering if you guys ever considered reducing the effectiveness of auto-aim on ground weapons such as the machine gun and pistol (although, the pistol is mighty weak as it is, so any auto-aim it has is good). The machine gun tends to lock on an enemy leaving me without the need to even touch the right stick if I start to strafe around the enemy. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing, but I think reducing the effectiveness of the auto-aim while increasing the gun’s power on ground troops (note: not vehicles) would be a better and more entertaining alternative. As for the pistol, I feel drastically increasing its attack power (3-5 shots to kill an enemy?) but removing all auto-aim (make it the sniper of close range weapons, damn hard to get a shot, but oh so satisfying when you do) would make it a much more widely used weapon among experts and thus a much more interesting weapon to use. Many players would still opt for rushing to the machine gun due to the drastically increased skill involved in using the weapon, but now they wouldn’t feel as if not getting a machine gun or other weapon would leave them in such a defenceless situation (what good is the pistol now upon respawning unless the enemy is already near death?). The pistol would then give them at least a puncher’s chance.
Of course, these are just my opinions/suggestions. Thanks in advance for reading and (hopefully) taking the time to respond!
Keep up the good work!
em may i ask whats acee lol ( im still a kid XD) and from my main account i have no italin store doe it would be great so i can buy the maps :)
Dear Dylan Jobe and the Warhawk Team,
I “run” the Planet MGC clan (Clan tag MGC, my PSN ID is Kevling) and we appear to have reached our clan limit of 64, despite only having approximately 55 members.
It appears that outstanding clan invites seem to count towards the clan limit, but at the moment there is no way to force people to log into their Clan Invites in-game to either accept or reject our invites.
With the current buzz around update 1.3 and 1.4, I was wondering whether there were any planned improvements to this system?
One suggestion would be to let the clan manager see the outstanding invites in the clan list, and give him/her the opportunity to cancel the invite if they have been outstanding for a while.
Alternatively, how about having the clan invites expire after, say, 7 days? That would resolve the issue without having to change the user interface…
Thanks for your continued updates and feedback on the US Playstation Blog, and I’m really looking forward to Operation Broken Mirror…
Cheers
hello Dylan
Great update its a day one buy for me ( day one=the day psn cards come to my country ) so please keep working as hard as you can in a game that (IMO) is one of the greatest games the ps3 has to offer( I mean it impressed some of my friends that are 360 fanboys :p
So Rock on!… Or as you say:0052-006F-0063-006B-004F-006E-0021 (umm hope its right)
BTW can you tell me your psn ID (it would be cool to see a dev {or umm director in your case} play his game) mine is verdantalan
@Dylan Jobe
will we be able 2 access our friends list
in-game and invite somebody 2 a game
by the way this is the best online game ever
psn:chase167 my rank has not change
Hey dylan, sorry for the double post but, can you visit the PSU forums now and again? Maybe you can just come on for a few minutes at a time(to avoid the PM influx lol) and just kinda like ask what we’d like to see in the game. BTW: if you haven’t clicked on this yet, it’s just my and a few buddies ideas for the next expansion :) http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=warhawk&thread.id=432516&view=by_date_ascending&page=1
thank you so much for answering my question, you are amazing.
but i have another one, which game type gives you the most points?
Ok, since you confirmed that the maps will not be mixed, in the future will you guys consider making a server with both maps mixed?
I think it would be a great idea in my opinion, the drop ship and APC should work well together, and 7 maps would be awsome.
Just something I think you guys should consider for those hardcore warhawk gamers.
Mr. Jobe
I see that you won’t have dedicated servers that include both packs, but what about player created servers. I think that I speak for a lot of us that will buy both packs that we would like both the dropship and APC in the same game.
HI DYLAN!! i want you to know that i made a italy account and it accapted my credit card now i have omega down and al be getting broken mirror too!!!!!!
Very nice info Dylan, thanks for sharing. By the way the Broken Mirror and GT5 comes exactly on my birthday :-D.
Hay Dylan any chance we can get maps that have less aircraft and more ground vehicles? In the trailers the ground troops lead the way, but in the game the aircraft are always in such high numbers, there are many times online where the tanks, and jeeps just go un used due to their being so darn many aircraft on the maps.
I know some maps this can’t be helped but on the ones that have nice large open ground for infantry, and tanks/jeeps to roam any chance we could see in the next few patches some layouts that remove the aircraft, or at least 4 of them from each map?
I now that Ecuadia is a map with this problem. It spawns so darn many aircraft that most players forget about tanks, and jeeps and then they get owned on the ground and spawn camped 24/7.
If we could just drop like one or two of them on this map per team it would mean that the ground troops would play a bigger role in the game as a whole.
The two desert maps have this problem as well and it’s starting to get me and my ground pounding buddies fed up with the aircraft jockeys always being the ones with 12-20 kills per match.
hey Dylan looks like Operation: Broken Mirror is gonna be really cool. MY Question is about the communication between players. why cant we have squads, so we can talk to the people we want to instead of pressing L3 and talking to everyone and taking turns with like 10 other players. maybe a squad based system something like Resistance Fall of man. i think if you had this the game would be alot better.
I’ve only just gotten back into playing this – excellent game, Kudos to all involved in the coding/making.
Can i suggest one improvement? Get it so that you can stick an alarm in game.. I’m playing until 2am or so and it’s not good when I’m up for work at 6.30am.
Or have a word with Sony to stick it on the XMB whenever that goes “live” in-game.
Absolute Greatness!! I have bought Omega Dawn and was impressed by that but I feel that this Broken Mirror expansion pack is going to make Warhawk even better than before. I can imagine the amazing action on the Archipelago acropolis assault map on capture the flag map with the APCs.
One thing I would like to see however is the ability to dismount anywhere whilst in a Nemesis/Warhawk like you can in a tank and 4×4 as its annoying sometimes when you’re being chased by another plane and then you want to get out quickly but you can’t, you have to press triangle to change to hover mode then L2 to descend, then you can finally get out but by then most of the time you’re blown up before you can do this. What do you think?
is it possible to buy Warhawk [PSN Version] for someone else? [if they are using the same regioned system]
