I purchased it about an hour ago and opened it. Unfortunately it blows. I'm guessing Best Buy will not let me trade it for another game?

IMOits a generic 1st shooter if you could even call it that... I tried logging into like 5 servers. Each server has a guy sitting in a tank camping the spawn points. If I have to endure that I mightas well go back to playingBF2.. atleast their I can spawn with a rocket launcher or explosives instead of a lame hand gun.

I tried renting it butmy local BB doesn't have it, and the Best Buynear me only had atrailer with no demo option.

Well I am glad I never had to experience that, I love warhawk, spend 95% of my time in a warhawk, and the rest looking for/getting into a warhawk, and I pwn, sorry those lame guys in a tank ruin it for you if you played with my I would happily take them out with a TOW missile to the grill

Most games arn't like that and from the sound of it...you sucked at it. It's a 3rd person shooter first of all and theres a lot more then spawning and getting shot by a tank. This is the best game on the PS3 IMO (online anyways). There are so many ways to play this game it's rediculous...sounds like you played for 5 minutes and gave up. If anything this game has a STEEP learning curve but once you get good it's just rediculously fun.

lol. Patch v1.1 should and will fix those problems. And btw, the game isn't a 1st person shooter, it's a 3rd person shooter. And finally, the game doesn't blow, you suck suck badly at it. It's normal to get killed by spawn campers, when it's your 1st time playing it. You will manage to avoid and even kill them. Also. One of the resolutions is to spawn in other base...

dont give up on it so easily, it has a very steep learning curve, but once u get into it, and figure out how to play it properly it really is an excellent game. just keep playing and you'll be lovin it in no time. :)

I've played MoH, CoD, BF2, etc, etc... all on PC though which might be the problem..since the PC games are always better the console games..

I bought it because alot of people said it was like or better then BF2... its more like a water-downed half-wit version of BF2 though.

Yeah, Why did you get this game? I just got my PS3 last week and Warhawk is the only game I bought for it so far. IMO it's an amazing game. I've never played anything quite like it and there's so much to do! I was big into SOCOM a while ago, so I'm used to the online enviroment but even better is when I had some friends over and played splitscreen online together! It was amazing, you can only get teamwork like that when its 4 dudes in the same room together. Anyways, sounds like some of the server issues you were complaining about should be resolved by the upcoming patch. Hope you change your mind about this game, the more people play it, the better support it will likely get.

Why did I get it? Because I've played these types of games foryears. I think the people that have responded to my post are a little confused or just dumb. I am a big fan of these games,,,when they are good. I personally think this one sucks. Im starting to feel that console systems are meant more for sports games, and the PC for all other games...

I turned my PS3 off and will put the game up on EBAY and probably play it here and there until it sells.

I can understand why you are didinterested in something your not good at

GS rated this game an 8.5 and I was surprised it wasnt higher, they said the only thing wrong with it is that there wasnt any sort of tutorial, no single player so you couldnt figure out how to play, they just throw you into the fire online

That boggled me because they said that was the only thing wrong with it, yet it wasnt even a 9

i love warhawk. having come from a strong PC background (bf 1942, tribes, bf2, counterstrike ect) i found warhawk to be one of the most refreshing games of this sort on any console. too bad it isnt for you but then again you cant love every game, hopefully you can sell it to someone who will like the game. maybe haze or COD4 will trip your trigger.

I think you are trying to hard to compare it to BF2. One thing Warhawk has over BF2 is a much better Air/Flight experience. Nothing in BF2 compares to the Warhawks and you aren't going to learn to fly those in 1 hour of play.

Give the game a fair chance. You can't play any game especially a game like Warhawk and make a decision within an hour.

BF2 is a good game, but I actually think Warhawk is a lot more fun.

There are usually multiple spawn points in each game, so if you're getting spawn killed at one, the logical thing to do is choose another. Just learn the maps, especially where the explosives and tanks are located, and you'll do much better. Also, Warhawk is a game which demands skill in many different areas, be it flying, driving, shooting etc. You may have to put in a few hours practice before you get it.

Keep playing, i sucked horribly at it when i first bought it but after playing for a day or two i got the hang of the game and fell in love with it. Haven't played in awhile thanks to Halo 3 but it definitely is a very good game.

warhawk is a game that grows on u. when i first got it a week after its release. i hated it then i fixed the controls to how i liked them.and then i got used to it. now i like it alot.

but it still has its downfalls. like full servers when it says only 8 out of 24 ppl are in the server, this started about 3 weeks ago ..cheaters useing some kind of cheat codes to get extra health, more powerful weapons., none ranked games are very bad with lag and sever down. and sometimes ppl ban u from the sever for no reason.

I used to agree with the TC. At first, I thought it was a terrible game. I died almost instantly as soon as I got into a warhawk, and had several other problems with it. I really felt likeI wasn'tenjoying it as I should be.But now, i've got the hang of it, and it's the most fun i've had in an online game for quite some time.

Bro I hated it too when I first bought it, about a month later I decided to give it another try and been hooked eversince! People spying on the Spawn Points is easy to avoid because it gives you the option as to where you want to spawn just use the D-pad to select your SP (just remember that your team has to possess that SP before you can use it).

first off, even if your team owns only one base theres usually 2 spawn points at that base so if you keep getting killed by campers in a tank then thats YOUR fault for being an idiot and not spawining somewhere else. second, i and almost every other person that responded respects your opinion. if you dont like the game after 1 hour of playing then return the game and buy something else. BUT dont call others dumb because they disagree with you like your word is law or something. third and final, i dont think you could get great at tetris after just 1 hour. if you quit so soon at something then how do you expect to get good at anything. actually how did you get good at MoH, CoD, or BF2? as soon as you poped the disc in you were magically good at it?

munsoned

I've never had these problems, maybe you need to filter your match search so that you get into games where your ping will be less than 100. Often times, when there is lag, damage doesn't register right away so you think you have more life than you actually have, which would explain why you think they have more powerful weapons.

ive noticed that too. id be in a warhawk hovering right above ground and i get lokced on and hit by a rocket launcher twice and i die. the thing is, it reloads so freakin fast that i dont even have time to press square and get out. im thinking to myself "i know they cant shoot a rocket launcher that fast. they must be cheating, lol". i mean, when i try to shoot a rocket launcher at a warhawk it reloads twice as slow. then i figured it was lag and decided not to stay in the same spot for too long, lol.

i have a question, can you open a room with a p/w so you are the only guy on the map?

if so, when your alone and without interruptions you can practice the controls easier.

Give the game some time. My friend has been trying to get me into Battlefield, but I can't. Too realistic for me. I love the arcade style action of Warhawk. I love how the classes are so balanced. I can understand why it would be a love/hate relationship for you with the game. Hopefully you can give it some more time and see if it grows on you after the controls sink in. I hope you have a headset. That makes the game so much more enjoyable to play.

I tried renting it butmy local BB doesn't have it, and the Best Buynear me only had atrailer with no demo option.

The_Moron

Just spawn elsewhere or go in a 32 player map, where it's almost impossible that an enemy camp every spawn points.

Really, don't hate a game because you suck at it. Go play Zone, it's awesome.

The_Moron

lol, best quote ever. The PC only excels in FPS and RTS. Try to play Devil May Cry, Ratchet and Clank or Final Fantasy on a keyboard, the controller is just better ANYTIME. As I said, mouse is just better for FPS and RTS. Better luck next time, Moron.
