Warhawk Countdown Thread! Warhawk is GO!

Warhawk releases August 28th via BRD exclusively for the PLAYSTATION 3 (PSN download delayed until 30th)

Many are quick to dismiss Warhawk as another Shadowrun with no value, but those who say this couldn't be farther form the truth. Just because it doesn't have single player doesn't mean this game will be poor gameplay and value wise! You can purchase Warhawk for $40 over the Playstation Store, or go out and buy the $60 BRD version with comes with bonus video content, the game ofcourse, and a wireless Blu-tooth headset which will finally get rid the silence you find in virtually all PSN online games. Either way, you're getting an excellent online game that will last you years. Yeah I said it! Years! The wireless Blu-tooth headset was actually said to run around $50 alone by the devs at Warhawk, that's got to have some value right there!

The Blu-ray version of Warhawk comes with a wireless Blu-tooth headset. As depicted, WIN.

Being that the BRD version of the game comes with a Blu-tooth headset, it is very clear that the game is to have strong team based fundamentals. Warhawk can support up to 32 players on five huge maps. Tanks, jeeps, turrets, on foot combat/travel, and ofcourse Warhawks make Warhawk a true wartime experience with several great game modes. Warhawk also has strong in-game clan support for those seeking to compete compettitively (such as myself), or if you want to play casually this can be easily accomplished as well as there is always an open game for you to quickly jump into. But why not play with your friends? Up to three of your buddies can play together online or against eachother, on a single PS3!

"OMFG LAZERZ!!1! PEW PEW PEW!"

This one is for all you Gear heads out there. How many times have you been slaughtered by the host becausee of their overpowering connection advantage? Or ever missed that great sniping shot you had because of bullet lag? Frustrating, right? Say hello to dedicated servers!

Warhawk's dedicated servers are actually bajillions of PS3s!

With Warhawk, bullet lag and host advantage are a thing of the past. Solid dedicated servers are to reduce overall lag problems drastically as well. You still have option to host your own games, but you can't host 32 players unless you have the proper bandwith size to, which is a good thing otherwise you'd be getting a very laggy experience. What else does Warhawk bring to the table you ask? How would you like to customize you're own Warhawk (did I mention these things go 600+ MPH?) and pilot? Done! You are offered a nice selection of things to customize respectively for both pilot and Warhawk.

What else you ask again?! I'd be glad to answer. In ranked matches you will be counted for everything. Everything. An unpresidented 2,500 different things will be kept track of as you play the game online. To the number of steps you took, miles/kilometers you've flown/driven/walked, the weapon you're best with, worst with, the total kills, total deaths, amount of times you've killed the man with the flag, the amount of times you've captured the flag, need I go on or do I have to list the thousands of other monitored things? Add that plus an achievement and medal system plus global rankings and you have yourself one hell of a game!

Check out some videos of Warhawk I'd reccomend while you're at it! -

PS: This was my first info/countdown thread so don't bust my chops :P. And for those of you who want to play with me feel free to add me if you're getting a headset or will be getting one by the time Warhawk comes out. PSN ID = N1GHT.

Its too hard to say what the final scores will be. Many people are cracking on this game for not having a single-player version. Personally, I think that is a joke. We all have played games where either the single player or the multiplayer sucked. I'd much rather play a game that concentrates on one and does it well. Not to mention all of the single-player only titles that score without issue. I think its a joke.dubvisions

Even the devs said that the single player "wasn't up to par" and said that they didn't want their customers to get halved experiences on both ends so they decided to focus on multiplayer 100%, which I think was a great decision. Why hurt us wiht a bad multiplayer, taking away dev time from the multiplayer which has a chance to be excellent?

Bashing a game for lack of SP is silly. Yes it detracts from the game but some games should just be MP. I love Shadowrun. It was panned here and everywhere else due to lack of SP. I hope Warhawk rocks. I am intrigued. When does the blu-ray version come out? Same day as the dl one? I will hype it AA. No SP, while not a reason to bash a game per se, will lead to a lower score here.

To my knowledge, and I still want to confirm a few things, the retail version is out on TUesday. I hope the DL version is too but I'm not sure because Sony does all PSN updates on Thursdays for the US. I would assume they'd break the norm in this situation

I'm hyping AA too. I really think it's going to be a full AAA online experience but it's going to get nailed for dumb things.

Sweet. I will most likely buy the disc version. I want the headset too. My old one is having problems. Man this end of summer/fall/winter rush of games is going to murder my wallet.

Didn't we already have an official hype thread? AA I think it was at before closing.

I hyped the game 7.5, simply because an online only game that looks good+runs fast, but doesn't look OMG or have the most features/maps weapons. I don't doubt that the game will be fun, I just don't think it'll score well here.

I've asked this before but never saw the answer. Where are the stickied hype scores located? I mean, once they close the voting, where do they go? How can i go back and see what a game was hyped?

Gamefly.com, buddy. Rent them, two at a time, for around $24 a month.

Oh, I keep hearing all the names of these said to be awesome PS3 games thrown around here without really knowing what they are. This thread helped me find out what everyone's talking about with Warhawk.

What really got me interested was all the servers they have that are reducing lag and stuff. Laggy online gameplay really grinds my gears :P

Once they get taken down and closed they'll just float from page to page, getting further back until Casey either feels the need to bump the topic or the GS review comes out I suppose.

I googled 'gamespot official warhawk hype thread' and found it.

I played the beta. This game is overhyped like a mother. It trys to mimic Battlefront and Battlefield games and fails. blitzinger123

May I ask what was your main complaints about the game? I know a big problem with it was random disconnects but that was before they brought all those dedicated servers in.

This thread has inspired me to write a song called FLOPHAWK. Thank you DA_BOMB you are one of the shining stars in SW.JiveT

You know, it took me a while to construct this thread and for you to say something like that is truely immature. And FYI, it's DA_B0MB with a zero. >_>

AA.

WOW just WOW. I took the time to read your thread and compliment you and all you can do is throw a bunch of hissy fit **** back in my face. I haven't seen or heard anything that indicates this game will score above an A rating. It seems in SW anything less than AA is a flop. Thus...FLOPHAWK. (the riff will be somewhere between Barracuda and Immigrant Song)

I cant wait for this game i think it will receive a 8.5-9.0 on Gamespo, and it will be tons of fun!

Did you really think I'd be pleased with you mocking a game that I am clearly very excited about? And just because you coated yourmockery with sugar doesn't mean I'll appreciate it. If you think Warhawk will get A, cool. Just say that. I'm sorry but I don't tollerate games name's being mocked like that, it's pretty annoying, I've heard them all. Failo, Heavenly Flop, Flopdown, Resistance: Flop of Man, Mass Deffect, etc... =/

I'm not a cow or fanboy of any sort, I'm a gamer. And don't tell me Warhawk can't get up to AAA. If PDZ can get AAA, Warhawk has a chance to get AAA.

Greg isn't here no more and PDZ was a mistake on his part, I'm sure he realized that later

Whatever makes you happy makes me happy:)

Regaurdless Warhawk has just as much of a chance at AAA as any other game. I hype AA, but don't be so ignorant as to think it is impossible for it to achieve AAA status here. I personally think it's unlikely at Gamespot, but not impossible.

I hate to be a killjoy, but this game has been delayed 2 days to the 30th in order to correspond with the weekly PSN update. (IGN)

The boxed copy will ship the 28th, however.

I agree, I have a feeling it wil be 8.5 and maybe a 9.0 :)

Redfingers

Ok I'll put that as a minor update let me just make sure and google news that. Regaurdless, you'll still be able to play on the 28th so it's not a big deal.

Update: I just went on google news and searched the Warhawk download delay and it seems from the article that I read that only Europe would suffer the pushback to the 30th. Is this correct?

Shadowrun is a extremely fun game but it doesn't have many maps and no single player which Warhawk was suppose to have and it's weird how the single player got canned after all the hype the game was getting and the development time

Honestly, I don't recall any big hype for Warhawk until the beta arrived. Warhawk has been at least 3-4 years in the making and has concentrated soley on a fantastic multiplayer experience and I believe Warhawk will achieve this.

Well a lot of people apparently, but online is what most people end up played the most, easily. I would have liked to see Warhawk with a singleplayer but I don't mind it not being there, especially if the devs themselves though the single player wasn't good.

idc what this game scores here...i am buying it the second it comes out and will enjoy it because this game will be loads of fun to playmattyomo99

Same. Played the beta over at a friends house and knew after that I would be buying this game. Damn I can't wait.

P.S.- Props to DA_B0MB for makin a great informative post!

Lame, you copied the tread made for mp3 and replaced itby warhawk
