Sony should bring back Warhawk for the PS4

I honestly felt more freedom in Warhawk than I ever have in any Battlefield game. You could come up with so many schemes and plans of attack or defense in Warhawk and more often than not, actually pull them off whether solo or as part of a team, such a tactically diverse game! Battlefield tries to offer the open playing field but feels far too restricted and pressured.

Also, dem grenades!
 
Absolutely, what a populated mp only game..... Where Socom failed, Warhawk succeeded for mp......I think they should also bring M.A.G back....256 player battles should make a triumphant return.
 
There's a lot of multiplayer games competing for attention at the moment but I could see Warhawk making a return. I'd love to see WipEout make a return, too, but one small miracle at a time I guess.
 
I spent more hours on Warhawk than any other game on the PS3 so if there were to be a well-populated remaster I'd easily get a PS4 for it without hesitation. There were so many diverse ways to play the game, and it was quite well balanced (having one or two competent players who were good in the air generally to result in complete domination, but I didn't find that to be much of an issue since it's a question of skill). The emphasis it placed on team-work, and the opportunity it presented to also do things solo were incredible. The level design was also top-knotch, and apart from Omega Dawn (which just needed more players), all really altered how to approach the objective and created a very unique flow to the levels.

The use of servers, the leveling system, the spawn system, the pickups, the feel and viability of each of the vehicles and the durability of them all (turrets an exception), the sensation of progression as you got skilled at the game, and the amazing downloadable content (apart from Omega Dawn which was a bit of a dud in my opinion) just made it easily my favourite multiplayer game. The jetpacks and the APC in particular were fantastic in how much they added to the game.

My only worry would be that if it were re-released it wouldn't attract the same playerbase due to the huge variety of large multiplayer games available on the PS4, whereas at Warhawk's release, there really wasn't a huge amount which allowed it to gain a very strong and sizeable community initially.
 
I'd buy a Warhawk remake at full price, even. If they left out the tow missile, I'd pay an extra $5 :-D

Same goes for MAG. But because of the various forms of gameplay and diversity of the maps/game setup, Warhawk is more accessible and one of the funnest games I've ever played.
