Official WarHawk Discussion: **Patch 1.5/"Falling Star" OUT!**

[quote name='TimPV3']Woah, check out the new level![/quote]

Hey that is cool. Looks like there can be more then one APC too which I didn't know.
 
[quote name='mguiddy']Hmmm... Anyone know if they said if biofields will be able to be attached to vehicles? A new, improved "kamikaze"?[/quote]
Ya he said they are sticky so they will. I already plan on attaching it to a jeep and just go crazy! It will be better than what I do with the mine since sometimes I do not get out fast eough!
 
Ha, SmogItUp, just noticed we both left comments on the blog about the PSP remote server idea. Maybe it'll get noticed if a bunch of people do the same.
 
Arg, no wonder there wasn't any info on the map/APC...

The v1.3 patch is the free update and does not include the APC or new battlefield.

I’ll be making an announcement about the new booster pack soon.
 
He stopped responding just a few before my comment about PSP remote play. :[

Oh well. It's still cool that he goes on there to drop new details and debunk rumors. Also, as cool as the APC sounds, I don't know I'd be in with the current booster pack pricing. Omega Dawn was what, $8? It would be cool if they let you get both OD and Broken Mirror for $10 as a promo, though.

i want both too. but i think the pack with the apc has that and at least 1 new map and maybe new game modes.
 
LOL @ the merged thread with the ollllllld title :booty:

Anyway - PS3fanboy posted info on the new stuff along with screen shots of the new level, looks GREAT:

http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/03/25/operation-broken-mirror-detailed-and-vaguely-dated/

The next Warhawk expansion, Operation Broken Mirror, will be heading for the European PSN Store sometime in April. The exact date has yet to be confirmed, but the expansion will definitely come after the v1.3 patch which is due in "early April." Operation Broken Mirror will add a new level, the Vaporfield Glacier, as well as the Armored Personnel Carrier.

The APC will come in two different forms and will look different depending on if you're playing as a Eucadian or a Chernovan. Six players will be able to fire out of the APC during transport and a "speed boost" feature will allow it to better infiltrate enemy territories. Once there the vehicle acts as a spawn point for the team. As if that wasn't enough, the APC can generate a force field to protect ground troops who are near it.

Operation Broken Mirror will be priced at £3.99 in the UK, with no word yet on a price in Euros or dollars. We've got a ridiculous amount of screenshots of the new level and vehicle in action so, if you're interested, be sure to check out the gallery below. Don't forget to click "Hi Res" in the top right hand corner for full resolution images.

fuck ya this looks sweet - I know I am going to get this!
 
New PSBlog post with Broken Mirror info.

Don't worry, StrandedBrit. It's even bigger than the Omega Factory! At least some of the smaller layouts look cool, and the screens make me wonder what kind of crazy tank battles could take place on those raised highway sections.

But for $8, I dunno. No mention of an OD/BM discounted bundle, either. Boooo.

$8 seems pretty good to me. The APC seems to add a lot more gameplay options then the dropship did. Plus you can use them on more maps. I'd love a bundle deal though too.

I want this even more now.... looks very cool.
 
Found this while reading through the PSBlog comment threads:

[quote name='Dylan Jobe']We have been discussing the idea of a dual-booster bundle…maybe at some discount for players that want to purchase both Omega Dawn and Broken Mirror at the same time. But nothing is finalized yet.[/quote]

Come onnnnn!!!!
 
Just found this thread! Yeah, I posted the same comment as you metaly after I saw he was responding to comments..Not trying to take credit for your idea.;)

Sad part is that we should have posted it on the latest Dylan post, b/c he went all out responding to comments..Oh well, when the booster goes live he will post again. I think the package deal will be 13 bucks, that is just a guess.. Anyways, I think it would be worth it, but It really doesnt matter to me. I just want new game modes!
 
Ha... I don't really care about who gets credit for the idea. I'd just like to see it in the game. (Or at least hear what Dylan Jobe thinks about it.)

I'll definitely mention it again once there's another Warhawk post. He'll probably make one to announce the 1.3 patch on Wednesday.
 
I'm downloading it right now. I haven't played Warhawk in close to 2 months. I'm going to start back up again.
 
[quote name='aznguyen316']I d/l it this morning but I think servers were down.. are they up now?[/quote]

LOL ya that happened to me - got the patch then went online to play and the servers were still down! I am about to hop on now and see if they are up, because this is bugging me now hahah
 
Woot!
Version 1.31 changes
The v1.31 patch is focused on fixing the team-switch mistake -- reinstating the Team-Switching, Team-Randomization, *and* Team-Roster-Balance server options.

In addition, we are removing the "unlimited score" option from the Game Options screen. This was an open invitation to padding as many of you correctly pointed out here on the forums.


 
A big thumbs down for removing the unlimited points option. I *hate* it when I am just getting into a game and it ends with like 20 minutes to go. If they think that by removing that option it will hurt the stat padders.... now they will have to play 3 or so games to get the points! I do not see how they thought this was a solution to the problem.
 
New preview of Operation Broken Mirror.

Not much but still cool to read stuff about it.

Although the Broken Mirror expansion won't be ready until April 17th (day of the PLAYSTATION Store relaunch), we had a chance to play it with fellow online journalists. Majed and myself took to the skies in split-screen action as we played a round of Capture the Flag and Zones on the brand new map: Vaporfield Glacier.

Ten variations are planned for the largest Warhawk map to date, and the two that we played today were both intelligently laid out, with multiple routes possible by foot, car and sky. Unlike in Omega Dawn, these variations never feel overwhelming large. The level was just the right size for our group of about a dozen players: it wasn't too small to feel barren (a problem in Omega Dawn), and wasn't too small to create a too-chaotic feel. Although the weather is supposed to change, we experienced clear skies in our play session. It might be an ice level, but don't expect to slip 'n slide.

The additions of the recent 1.3 patch were put to good use in our play time. The new weapons and shields certainly add a new level of depth to the game, without drastically changing the pace of the experience. It's clear that the Vaporfiled Glacier level is an excellent addition to the Warhawk universe, and we're certain the passionate Warhawk community will embrace the moderately priced ($8) download when it releases in two weeks.
 
Nice. I forgot that the booster was coming out so soon. I may actually get it because I've been playing more Warhawk lately. Although... I really should wait to hear if they've reached a decision about the booster pack bundle.
 
I'm going to get the Broken Mirror DL as soon as it hits the PS Store, and anyone is free to join me online in those games afterwards if you plan on buying it. ;)

Must... wait... for bundle news...
 
Once I get my hands on a PSN card I'll download both packs, hope these packs make an immediate appearance during our CAG games, haha.

Where is your new avatar from?

And I don't plan on getting the expansion(s) until they are in a pack or there are US PSN prepaid cards.

It's from Final Fantasy IV Advance... It's the Trap Door from inside the Sealed Cave in the Underworld. ;)

I thought it looked familiar, I played FFII on the SNES but never any of the re-releases/remakes.
 
dallow just posted this in the PS Store thread:

Warhawk Booster Combo ($11.99)
Booster Combo includes the Warhawk “Operation: Omega Dawn” and “Operation: Broken Mirror” Booster Packs.
File size: 274 MB

It's in today's update. Woooooooooo!

:whistle2:#
I wonder if this is a limited time thing?
 
They actually have the combo? :whistle2:o
That is awesome... Now this makes the price of the add-ons a bit easier to swallow. ;)
Hope to play you guys online soon. I'll be on in a couple of hours. :)
 
I haven't been in Warhawk for a long time, but that $12 is kind of tempting. I'm thinking about pulling it down and start playing a bit more, especially since I just recently purchased a BT headset for my phone.
 
For some reason, I can't seem to purchase the BM add-on with my credit card, which is weird since I've NEVER had that problem before... I keep getting an error when I try to purchase it. I want my BM! fuck!fuck!fuck!!! :'( :cry:
 
I love this new map and new features! I have only played one game of CTF and one game of ones and this is Really COOL. I like how some of thezoes are up high and there is lots of overpasss on the long bridges and lots of great places to snipe people!

How many f you are getting this? Maybe after Warhawk night is over those of us who have the boosters can have aother booster-only game...


edt - i am getting on now if somebody wants to come find me!
 
I've been saying I'd get a booster bundle for so long (plus I love how they released all the stuff in 1.3 for free), so I'm going to put my money where my mouth is.

If people are interested, I'll host a booster-only game this evening (~7 Pacific), purely for messing around on the new maps.
