It seems like everyone seems to be so excited for Warhawk, but I for one played the BETA and wasn't that impressed. Apart from the glitchyness which will presumably be fixed before release it still wasn't a great game. The graphics at least on foot aren't very impressive, sixaxis isn't as easy (or fun) to use as it would appear, and gunfights flat out don't work. Itt seems to me ssort of like a Battlefront rip off with better vehicles (read: planes) and worse gunfights. Anyone else agree?

Different people have different opinions but as for the beta most people liked it. I dont really think its being overhyped at all seeing that there is maybe one warhawk post every other day.

Wow dude really ? I was in the beta too, and aside from the glitches at first the game was stellar !!! I miss it soo much right now and can't wait for the game. Having your buddies over and playing the game online is awesome, just being able to co-ordinate warhawk and ground attacks with all your buddies beside you and still playing online is just intense !!

I didn't think the BETA was horrible but everyone seems to view it as amazing. Can you guys at least agree that gunfights sucked?

I tend to disagree completely. This game had some excellent sound, the maps were huge, explosions were beautiful, it was fast paced, and the more you played the better you got. If you know how the guns work the gun fights were great. This game did not go for realism, but it doesnt need to. It is a fantastic and frantic third person shooter with room to improve, of course. I also was in the BETA. I had a fun time, and I miss the game....a lot.

Wow, you must've been one of the dudes I kept owning then... that game is going to be awesome! The graphics look pretty good in HD but yea, there will be better looking next gen games. Looks better than Oblivion though, that's for sure.

As for the gameplay, it's awesome. Sixaxis is pretty awesome and easy to use for the Warhawks, didn't like it for the ground vehicles though. You do have the option to only use it for the Warhawks though. And the gameplay in general is just fast paced and fun throughout. I had a couple of friends that made the decision to purchase a PS3 after playing that game... believe me, if you like online games, you'll love it.

No, gunfights were pretty awesome actually. Dogfights were harder than you might think... but once you got a hang of those, they were some of the most satisfying kills.

Dude what the hell are you talking about people are only hyping this game A-AA, no one said AAA, so hows it overhyped? Plus most the the Beta tester gave good feedback there were some people who didnt enjoy the game, its not like every game is perfect and for EVERYONE.

It sucked to me maybe because I didnt get it. I wanted to try this game out. It looks alright. Remember: It will only be $60 in stores because of the headset packed in. On the PS Store, it will likely be $20, so it might be a good deal there.

I didn't get a chance to take part in the the beta, but pretty much everything I've heard has been positive. And from gameplay vids I've seen, I can see why people enjoyed it. Looks like unrelenting action, without going overboard. Some people just don't enjoy those sort of games.

Yeh dog fights were quite hard for me actually until I got a hold of the controls like how to lock on to a target since I was such a noob and took me a few games to figure out :P . Ground play is awesome, the auto target (follow) is nice but you still need to aim in order to get headshots and such.

Never played the Beta myself, but from a trailer or 2 i can agree with the TC with some points. Such as the graphics, they are not at all Next Gen persay. Though im sure that the gameplay will make up for it since its basically a fully fledged online game. Ill probably try this game, but in all honesty i think it is being overhyped

No i did not mean that at all jet, i thought it was just really being focused upon as a AAA game and getting alot more attention than it really does. I said that the gameplay will make up for the graphics.

i think the game is way underhyped, it looks about 100 times more fun than killzone 2... Alot of times the best games dont get noticed, and the ones that look pretty get all the attention.

All, Alright :P . But yes it is lacking in the graphics department and I can agree slightly with the AAA thing. Since it is only online and only a few games have gone there, its hard to gauge how it will fair with consumers. Does it deserve attention ? I guess we all have our opinions on how much and in time we will see if it delievered or got shot down by all the hype.

Hype on Warhawk? Where?

I loved the beta and will be picking it up. I don't need to hype it, I played it.

I think that this game is overhyped. After playing the beta for a day or two I didn't go back to it. I know one thing though, they definitely need to put a melee attack in their.

The graphics in this game are good. Also the gunfights in this game are fun I like walk up to someone when they arent paying attention and stabbing them in the back. lol Plus the dogfights in this game is cool but it will take maybe a day or 2 for someone to get use to it. Im getting this since I like the beta and I need to get away from FPS for a while.

Looks almost as good as a next-gen Star Wars: Battlefront to me. I love Battlefront but I hate the Star Wars movie and story... So that means I should like Warhawk even more! I think it's sorta underhyped, I mean it looks like a great third-person shooter along with an arcadey, motion sensing fighter pilot twist.

Here's how you should expect Warhawk = Very Fun! That's it.

Good question. I really want that headset, but if it has longer loading times then maybe I will download it. It probably won't though since it will probably install it like how Oblivion does.

You think Warhawk is worst then Shadowrun which scored a 6.9?! I've played both games and Shadowrun isn't even in the same league and its like double the price. No customizations, no stat tracking and bad graphics. If there is any justice this game will get at least an 8 and hopefully an 8.5.
