I'm wondering how these jetpacks will impact the air game. How high/fast can they fly? Can they do any real damage to Warhawks? Can Warhawks easily shoot them down? Am I going to have to deal with a dozen or so knats swarming around and getting stuck to my windshield every time I'm flying in a Warhawk?

when is the single player campaign mode being released?

Never confirmed as actually coming; it's only been discussed as a possibility. Seeing as how much they're supporting the multiplayer I doubt they're focusing on developing any single player mode.

That just makes me more excited about it.
 
Awesome, can't wait to try the jetpacks out, the other expansions have been great so far so I have high hopes for this one.

Always wanted jetpacks in a console MP game

Perfect Dark Zero has jetpacks on some of the maps, and hovercraft :p

I wish they would put everything on a disk and sell it for $60 when they are done with all of the expansions/add-ons. Unless these booster packs are free.

It almost seems like warhawk should just have a subscription fee and they do their updates like MMO games.

Awesome. If it's as good as BM I'm in for it. Ahh shucks I'm in regardless. I do hope they lower the price of OD and BM though for all the people without the previous boosters.

jetpacks - nice! But i still want that grapling hook - to "hang on a plane" :lol

anyway, everytime a new update hits the store i buy it and start playing wowhawk. But then after some weeks iam done with the game and play other (better?) games...at least untill the next update hits.

This sounds awesome, now if they can just remove the Warhawks themselves this game will be perfect.

Jetpacks were already confirmed in trophy list afaik, so it makes sense.
Yes...so it was confirmed then. A website could just look at the trophies and make up all this crap if they wanted to..

One person suggests that Sony should charge twice as much for the game (and apparently charge for updates that are currently free as well). Another suggests that they get rid of the Warhawks. Anyone want to make it a hat trick and suggest they add Poniez or something?

Didn't they say you don't need any DLC to accomplish all trophies?
I don't see how that's possible with those Jetpacks...

The Incognito guys are fucking retarded if they don't eventually release all these booster packs for free. All they do is splinter the community, especially when PSN cards still aren't available in a lot of places.

No. There are trophies you can only get through the packs. You don't need the DLC, however, to get the trophies required to get the platinum trophy.

Oh, thanks for clearing that up.

:lol :lol

Jetpacks are going to make the game crazy. I really can't wait to see how everything changes. I have nothing but the utmost confidence that Incog will pull off something really special with this.

The base trophy pack which contains the Platinum trophy only requires the original Warhawk standalone. The add-on DLCs have their own trophies (no Platinum though).

The hero game type they added in the latest update should be interesting to play with jetpacks...

Im going to go out on a limb and guess that jet packs will have a limited range / flight time and possibly there will be a few 'recharges' as pickups to extend this.

Basically, I want to watch noobs try to span distances in the Archipelago and run out of fuel and fall into the oceans...:lol
 
My only gripe with all these add-ons and such is.... they are all their own game. There is no way to mix and match these things. Kind of sucks if you ask me. APCs vs Dropships vs Jet-packs vs Tanks vs Jeeps vs Turrets vs Soldier would kick ass. Instead it's just one of the first three against the rest.

Imagine playing a fighting game with a new character that you can't select because Johnny Downtheroad selected a new character from a different booster pack.... gah. Oh well. Can't complain with the support this game has been receiving.

There are (ranked) servers with ALL in the title, meaning all the xpacs are included. I've been in plenty of games with dropships and the APC. It's really a blast.

Umm.. when did that happen? I remember ALL meant it changed from a dropship game to an APC game but never with both in the same round. If you can confirm that... I'd believe you but I'm doubting that happened...

Ditto. Never seen those on the same map.
