I heard there were some problems, are there still problems when the game uses global servers?(like warhawk)

I am thinking of buying warhawk from the US PS store or importiong it.

thanks...if i get good information i might add it to my thread(dunno why it didn't work out) and BUMP it. I feel information about importing(PS3) is hard to find,and i see too many useless threads (like this one?lol).

thanks!

Import and have fun. I did the same with R6V and didn't have any problems except for the known online issues of R6V that have nothing to do with importing or global servers.

Yup, but didn't R6V have P2P multiplayer, not server based multiplayer? (and I'm also pretty sure that this is what spawned most of the known problems for it)

Not every PS3 game has a server based online architecture.

Anyhow - I'm worried about downloading it from the US store as well... I wonder if anyone has some cash they're willing to gamble. (we cant really ask sony because we're not really supposed to be downloading from other stores to begin with - perhaps someone can ask an import question, I guess)

Warhawk servers are DEDICATED and Icognito and Sony are using PS3 clusters(which are going to be installed all over the world) as standard warhawk servers! Plus, Dylan Jobe the director of warhawk confirmed on the PS blog that the warhawk servers are going to be GLOBAL!

As long as the servers are global you can play imports online without problems. It's when servers are local that you will have a problem. Warhawk is as far as i know global so you can import and play online fine.

Ok I'm in the UK and you can import upto the value of £18 before your hit with import fees now some sites will send stuff out with it's true value and what it is marked and your more likely to have but not always customs issue you with a import fee. however some sites like the one i use mark down the value and list it as a gift and such your not hit with a Import fees.

Incognito wants to launch it worldwide on the same day so why not wait and see, then you wont have to worry about it working or not.
