... and it's frigging hard.

it's been out for a year, so lots of people are really, really good at it! even though I'm playing on servers that only let people of my rank in, I'm being annihalated! I've been playing it for about 3 hours and have only killed 1 person the whole time...

anyway, can anyone tell me what the 10 retroactive trophies for it will be?

edit:

WARHAWK IS AWESOME! I've played it for the past couple of days and realised what my problem was:

1) my missiles weren't locking on- turns out you have to hold L1!

2) my flight settings were set to use motion sensing so every time I pressed triangle I kept doing loop-de-loops because I hold my controller upwards!

Go to the Warhawk forums. I don't think they've been announced yet.

I know how you feel. I bought it a while ago and I'm not very good. I hate the way the weapons are mapped to the controller. I guess I'll be playing it for the trophies whenever they come out, but I think I'd rather just play MGO for now.

Play on the unranked/Player servers. It'll help and it doesn't count on your records.

My guess is the retro-active trophies will be for obtaining certain ranks, since once you do that you can't do it again, and therefore would not be able to gain those trophies.

Just because you are playing on a server for your "RANK" does not mean you playing against people of your "SKILL". Some will just start a new account on their PS3 to get on the rank ladders for ANYTHING. I will NEVER be above a seargent(SP) because I don't play ranked games any more. I just start my own 20 player server and have fun. Booting TK'ers and having fun with friends.

yeah man, i've had the game since launch and its awesome. i just got finished playin for awhile and this one dude was impossible to kill if he was in his plane, I was getting owned, but he obviously played the game way to much. Once you start to know where all the stuff is it'll get easier. The binoculars are just so fun to kill people with.

Binoculars call in an air strike. I suggest you read the manual. If you have the DL version there is a PDF version on the Warhawk website.

I would suggest staying on the ground for the first couple dozzen hours. Only use a plane if you need to get from one area of the map to a different one. Then, eventually you will learn how to dodge missiles and will be able to stay in the air longer and longer. I find that to learn all the ground weapons strengths and weaknesses a DM game is the best thing to join. There are rarely any planes in DM maps. There are ROOKIE servers. Join those for as long as you can. You still won't be ready for the casual servers when you are done, but at least you'll have an understanding of how to play.

I was probably one of those people killing you from a plane! I use to go 40 kills zero deaths in a plane! I thought the game was pretty easy, but thats just me!

All I can say is that I've wasted almost 700 hours playing it. It's a fantastic game once you get good at it.
