Warhawk • The Official Thread

[icelt]

Remember when these graphics used to be jaw dropping?

 

[land sea air]

well the full game problem is definitely fixed now, I've been playing all night and haven't had a single pop-up, now if only they could get the stats to update, then I would be happy.

 

[FoolKiller]

Oh well. Maybe I just suck altogether...

Or the rest of us are getting better. I came in first overall in a TDM game last night. That's my first time doing that. I also managed to kill a tank and his teammate with just two grenades and a flamethrower. Just after that I heard, "Wow," come over my headset.

I think most Warhawk players are scared of speaking. The only time I do hear someone is when they accidentally hold down L3 and all you hear is someone gargling a penis or somethin'.

I try talking, but only on a few tries do I get responses. I'm guilty of the accidental L3 push as whenever I go to make a sharp and fast turn in a jeep I put more pressure than necessary on it. I'm not usually gargling anything though.

They should add this Warhawk too:

That would be an awesome $4.99 game, and maybe have it be free for people with the new Warhawk installed on their system.

So I have to hold down L3 in order for people to hear me? That may be why I thought it didnt work. I could hear everyone else through my Jabra, but no one responded to me...

That would be your issue. Hold down L3.

well the full game problem is definitely fixed now, I've been playing all night and haven't had a single pop-up, now if only they could get the stats to update, then I would be happy.

And to think I spent last night in a player server. Does it still reload the server list every time? Are the game stats updated better? Better yet, if I hit triangle will it actually refresh that server's info, like the menu at the bottom says?

I'll probably stick to player servers for the most part until I know what the status on stats are.


So does anyone want to try playing together this weekend? I know I am free most of the day on Saturday (tomorrow).

Yes, the flamethrower is quite a decent weapon. Get up close to a tank so it can't shoot you and flamethrowing it usually succeeds every time. I'm surprised no one has ever tried this on me. And the Sniper isn't bad either, if I manage to get hold of one...

And yes - I've had minimal issues with joining games now. I may play the game again right now...

Someone attempted running up on me once and I just ran them over. Didn't happen again.

And the Sniper isn't bad either, if I manage to get hold of one...

Against tanks? That doesn't seem right, but neither does the flamethrower.


Out of curiosity, does anyone know if a land mine will stick to a tank, or Warhawk?

 

[suzq044]

This has me wondering... as I have still not had a chance to pick this up yet, when players are using headsets, are you hearing everyone's chatter or just your fellow team members?

I hope just your team members, otherwise not only would there be too much chatter if everyone was using headsets, but you'd risk giving away your battle plan to the enemy.

It would be nice if all games that support voice chat would allow you to "mute" specific players. I've been in one too many races in MotorStorm where some players make non-stop annoying comments, especially when they are having a bad race, or have such bad headsets that all you hear is annoying static.

it depends on which game you're playing - when its everyone for themselves - everyone should be able to hear everyone; but when there are teams; you're only supposed to hear your team.

 

[G.T]

Against tanks? That doesn't seem right, but neither does the flamethrower.

Oh, I mean in general. If people stand still, that is...


Edit: Damn, I've still got the joining issues. 6 times now, one of them being 23/32, it said it was full. All the available servers pinged within 10 seconds, so it's just not updating quick enough again...

Edit: Just joined one aaand it froze right away...

 

[FoolKiller]

I now have a new personal rule, that I fortunately haven't had to put into action since I decided on it two days ago, two freezes and I just go play GT4.

Driving always makes me feel better. If a lot of people did something like this I bet the problem would get solved real quick.

 

[Robin]

I have a few general questions about headset ps3 use, I thought I would ask here because most of you guys seem to use them for this more than anything else!

Do you hear all the sound from the game in the headset like explosions and stuff or just the chatter of other players? Its better to like have the sound on the tv and just the chat separately.

Do you hear both teams chatter or just your side? You would have thought that would be abit daft.

Thanks

Robin

Anywho...
On Warhawk for PS1 - they should have included that with the retail game as the bonus content or atleast offer it on the PSN store...

 

[FoolKiller]

Just chatter. Although, in your audio device settings you can change the voice output to the TV (default output device).

EDIT: This actually threw me off the first time I did it because before I set up the headset all chatter was through my TV, but then I set up the headset and had gotten engrossed in the game when suddenly this deep male voice was right beside me. Actually made me jump, then I realized what it was.

Do you hear both teams chatter or just your side? You would have thought that would be abit daft.

In a team game you only hear your own team. In a deathmatch you hear everyone.

 

[Robin]

Thanks Foolkiller 👍

hahaha People will read this on the start of this page and wonder what the hell you were talking about!

[land sea air]

I would guess if you are still having problems getting into the game they probably haven't gotten around to your servers yet, @ Foolkiller, the list still refreshes the same way (maybe a little faster) but you shouldn't have any problems getting into whatever game you choose so it doesn't really matter. I had plenty of games last night that were one player from full and I got in right away. Foolkiller I would love to play a couple games on the same team this weekend with the headset, hopefully my friend will be joining in with me split screen so ill message you on the ps3 tomorrow.

 

[G.T]

Looks like they fixed the leaderboard issues. Only thing is, I remember reading on the Playstation forums that someone rung up Sony support about the issue, and they replied that your stats will still be recorded, just they're not being updated. Well, I guess that's a lie... I still had the same stats when I checked a few hours ago - only the games I do now are recorded.

Oh well. I guess I could make up the loss easily.

 

[Solid Fro]

So, I'm going to lose my Warhawk kill with a tank stat? ****.

 

[Grand Prix]

Great to see the stats being recorded now, but for some reason I'm a Chief Sergeant with only around 900 points. I do have a Marksman Medal though, and a lot of ribbons and badges, so maybe it promoted me based on those?

 

[ND4SPD]

Man, I'm so undecided if I should get this game or not. I just don't feel like spending 80$ at the moment but I really want to try this game out....

 

[G.T]

My best kill count in a match so far...



I've suddenly become a lot better. I must have been having an off day the other day...

So, I'm going to lose my Warhawk kill with a tank stat? ****.

I have 29.

Have you been playing ranked or unranked?

I can't wait to get in some games and murder some people w/you.

What is your preferred weapon of choice? Ground combat, of course.

Oh, and in that match, were you ground only, mixed, etc?

 

[Robin]

Same, the only thing thats swaying me is the headset because I need one and the one they give is quite good.

The things putting me off it are total online-ness and no like single player, also the fact that the graphics are not super stunning that being its an constant online game..

You say the graphics aren't super stunning now, but the game is absolutely beautiful. You'll probably have your jaw hit the floor the first time you play it. The attention to detail on most of the game is amazing. You'll never play a game (this year) that feels so good hoping into a jet, or blasting away in a tank. The sniper rifle FEELS like a sniper rifle. Everything is awesome, you just have to have the HDTV / Surround sound for it.

 

[G.T]

I always play ranked.

I can't wait to get in some games and murder some people w/you.

Haha.

Quite a few of those were with the Tank, but the rest were mostly grenades, a few land mines and flamethrower.

Oh, and in that match, were you ground only, mixed, etc?

Nearly all was ground. I only usually fly when I'm pissed off with someone () or to move around quickly. I tend to play only Zone games now too.


Oh, and I agree with Jeremy on the graphics. Not the best-looking game ever, but with the amount of stuff you can do with a solid framerate is pretty awesome.

Well, I am a Wingman with only 10% of the points required, but none of my games I played during the errors show up, so I think that is what they mean. I probably earned enough to be Wingman but it isn't all showing.

Now I am having trouble finding ranked games to get into. All the ones with open spots are Seargeant max.

The things putting me off it are total online-ness and no like single player, also the fact that the graphics are not super stunning that being its an constant online game..

The graphics, up close, look to not be super great, but when you stand on a high point and realize you have an incredible draw distance (you can see form one end of a map to the other) you will be in awe that it pulled that off while online with 32 total players.

 

[land sea air]

well I finally went up in rank and unlocked a few customization options, then I went on today and they were gone!! wtf?

 

[G.T]

Hmmm, the stats don't seem to be updating for me again. It's been 2 days and everything is the same. Other people are getting updated though, as I'm gradually been dropping down places on the leaderboards.

Maybe I need to give it more time......

 

[ND4SPD]

Well I bit the bullet earlier today and bought Warhawk. I must admit, I totally regret not buying it when it first came out! What an amazing game. I still suck online but I'm having a blast. Fellow Warhawkers feel free to add me to your friends list! Also, we totally need to start a GTP clan or something. It's 10:17pm over here for me but I think I'm gonna hop onlin at 11pm my time for an hour or two. Hope to see you guys online!

 

[Stoffinator]

This game was fun in the beta and is still as fun. But the problem with the ranks really blows. But I am sure they will get them fixed. *Knock on wood.

 

[FoolKiller]

Yeah, you have to reset your customizations every time you go online. It is another glitch.

Maybe I need to give it more time......

It took a day or two for my latest updates to take. It might just be a case of more people causing a backlog.

Fellow Warhawkers feel free to add me to your friends list!

If I don't add you first feel free to add me.

Same goes for anyone that wants to add me. I won't deny any GTPer.

 

[G.T]

Hehe, I did see you managed to join a few of my games, Dead Poetic. I guess you witnessed how much of a killing machine I am.

 

[Dead_Poetic]

OMG yes. I am terrible at this game. And Im sure you saw it. But wow, you had like 10-12 kills before you even died once. I was taken aback. And you were the top player out of more than one of the games that we played. Hes a monster.

Your team overall was quite poor anyway - even when they were the most aggressive team I've ever come across. You actually weren't too bad when you started flinging grenades at me - each one came pretty close to killing me.


There's definitely something still up with the leaderboards and stats though. I and each of you now have no stats whatsoever, and the leaderboard keeps timing out when I load it.
