I bought the Omega Dawn pack yesterday and so far, so good. Let's see some pros and cons
Pros : The new map is...well....kick ass! It's huge, lots of detail and the evil corporation vibe is very well done, and it's at night!! The new layouts for the already available maps are also a great addition to the game, especially for CTF in small maps. And finally, the dropship. What can I say besides it rocks? Oh yeah! You can carry up to 10 players (including you) inside it!! You driving, up to 6 players on the turrets and if you catch a jeep (which carries 3 players) on the magnet thingy! If your team knows how to team play, the dropship will win games.
Cons : I fear the new map is very Warhawk turned (if you are playing in the full scale map), this means that if you love ground combat, like me, you are going to have a hard time with the Warhawk huggers. The Dropship can be taken out very, very easily for to reasons : attracts lots of attention and it's slow. That's actually good. We wont want a overpower dropship going on an unstoppable killing rampage.
In my opinion, if you like warhawk, you should buy or gameshare it.
Yesterday I also DLed the free Warhawk update (v1.2). This update sets the ground for OD pack and adds some new things to Warhawk.
Pros : a new colour scheme that tells you if the game is full(red, if you have the content to play on it(yeallow) and if you are able to join(green). This is very handy, because now you only need to see the colour of the dot to know if it's full or not. This update also added a "download" section to Warhaw! this gives us the clue that much more content is coming!!
Cons : This one is very bad IMO. The official servers have a 5 seconds respawn time instead of the usual 2 seconds!! IT'S HORRIBLE!! It breaks the action in such a way that you cannot imagine! Srsly, it's bad!! :cry:
Neutral : CTF points have been changed! They have reduced the points you won if you capture(now it's 25 instead of 35 or save the flag(5 points instead of 10), kill the flag carrier(1 or 2 points not sure instead of 5) and by catching the flag on enemies base(2 instead of 5). This..."downgrade" will balance the gap there was between CTF and the others modes ( I used to gain 150 to 300 points by round and now I only gain 100) This is somewhat good and bad. This way it's harder to rank up, but in the other hand...I was used to won lots of points :P
This point reduction thingy might indicate to one thing....DOUBLE EXP WEEKENDS (COD4 style) this would attract more players to the game and old players would be all over Warhawk.
In other news, Uncharted also never gets old. If you have a PS3 you should....no....you HAVE TO buy this game. Pulp action to the max and "suck you in " story and characters. A masterpiece indeed. Can wait to see what Naughty Dog as reserved for us!
I think I have written enough for a couple of month :P
Cya all ;)
