Warhawk is a must have title for the PS3.
The beta is fantastic. Sure theres bugs, sure theres still issues with the game, but I can honestly say, I'm having more fun with this than I did with BF2/2142. The game mechanics are very similar, two opposing sides going at each other, different ranks, unlockables (Warhawk skins, arm patches, etc) It feels like BF2/2142, but with crazy Warhawks, it's totally a blast! Not as "real" as BF2/2142, more of a arcade feel, but man the fun makes your head explode.
Controls take a bit of getting used to (longer if you use Sixaxis) right now I'm only using the sticks, as Sixaxis takes much longer getting used to, but I can defiantly see an advantage using the Sixaxis, you get better aiming through the motion control believe it or not.
Graphics are down right spiffy. Forget the first trailer you saw, gone are the craptastic textures, ugly 2d trees, wonky character animations and down right ugly character models. The game has seen a serious overhaul, water looks Lair-esque, textures are sharp and models are very detailed and look clean.
The big decision though for me, is do I grab this when it first comes out over PS Store, or do I hold out and wait for the boxed copy with Headset? I am in need of a headset and an Official Sony one would go down nicely, but do I want to wait the extra time it takes between the PS Store release and the Retail release?
Oh well, good thing I got time to mull that thought over. About a month's worth of time to be precise, yes ladies and gents, a whole month with Warhawk lovin'. Every Monday there is an update as well (according to Warhawks MOTD) So looking forward to bug fixes and some weapon balances tomorrow night.
